My kids started…read morehere at just 18 months old and stayed all the way through TK....it was the best experience from start to finish. The staff is warm, caring, and truly dedicated to every child's growth and happiness. We always felt confident and grateful knowing our kids were in such good hands. Leaving was bittersweet, as it was simply time to move on to the next school, but we will truly miss the entire team. If you are thinking about bringing your children here, just do it....you won't regret it!

MCS is an amazing school with phenomenal teachers and staff!…read more Our daughter spent her very first year of school / preschool here before transitioning to CMP Carmichael, right next door. On our daughters very first day of school, her teachers, Ms. Serena and Ms. Malih were so caring and thoughtful with her. She was nervous to be there and didn't want us to leave in the morning. Ms. Serena took her by the hand and spoke gently with her, and made her feel more comfortable. We knew we were leaving our daughter in good hands that morning, and the positive experiences continued on until our last day of school. The office staff is very friendly, and always makes me feel as if I'm part of the MCS family when I talk to them on the phone, or see them in person in the office. Whenever I stop by the office with my daughter, Ms. Galina goes out of her way to say hi to her and often gives her a warm hug and sometimes a sticker =) I would highly recommend Montessori Childrens School to my anyone I know that I is looking for a wonderful, caring place for the children to go to school / daycare, or anyone that plans to continue with the Montessori teaching philosophy.

When we first started looking for a daycare, I wanted a play-based non-chain environment. DLC was super close to our house, and I loved the philosophies I read on their website. DLC has been more than I hoped. We were there before pandemic, during pandemic, after pandemic. All the time they had a warm and professional staff, helping all of us navigate zoom-school. The teachers are wonderful and caring. The outdoor play area is huge. The school-age kids in the summer do a ton of field trips. They are very communicative. I feel well-informed. They are constantly evolving and improving. But most of all, my son loves it. He is sad he doesn't go there anymore. I think he would love to be a kid at DLC forever. He has made memories and friendships that will last him a lifetime.

I'm confident that my children are in the right place and grateful to have this opportunity. On top of all that, the community at DLC is wonderful. I've recruited every parent in the vicinity to join DLC, and, if you are in the market for a daycare, I want to recruit you too.

Naomi is truly an artisan when it comes to creating beautiful, imaginative spaces for young children. I was completely blown away by the setup, the activities, and the thoughtfulness that went into every detail--and all at such a reasonable price! I had asked for a Frozen theme without the overly commercial feel, and wow, did she deliver. The space was enchanting and perfectly tied into our theme in the most tasteful way. The mud kitchen, sensory station, painting area, customized scented play dough, potion making station, fairy garden, child-sized table with custom mushroom stools, teepee house... there was something special for every single child. Even my ten-year-old had a blast exploring the sensory play stations! What I loved most was how intimate and personal everything felt. Our guests couldn't stop talking about what a wonderful venue it was. Absolutely perfect for a three year old's birthday party. This day is something I will cherish in my heart forever. Thank you for making my girl's birthday so incredibly special and helping us create memories we'll never forget.

I would definitely recommend our school, our campus, to anyone wanting more for their kids, want their kids to benefit from a mixed grade class, learn time management, have the ability to learn at their own pace, or if they struggle with sitting in a desk. The kids learn empathy & classic games & skills. The kids have access to Rosetta Stone. There are tons of amazing after school programs specializing in the sciences & arts. The classrooms are quiet for the most part. The Montessori material is beautiful & appealing to the students. My daughter was thrilled at the learning environment. The gated Campus is beautiful & well cared for by the parents and students. Currently with uniforms it make getting ready in the morning so easy. Full time Art class, library & science lab. At my 3rd year & with 2 kids on campus I find lots to help with. With class field trips, holiday banquet lunches, fairs, parades, a-thons, Art Docent, reading with kids, dinners, breakfasts, hot lunch days, campus clean up days, & now my first year as a room parent. I love our school parents. They are so willing to help. They all want whats best for their kids & to give them the best experience. As a charter school CMP don't get the funds that other schools get, so our parents step up & make it work. I have had my fair share of the schools growing pains, with 3 new to the school teachers (2 with no Montessori training and 1 who was new all around) as well as 3 who were seasoned Montessori. This school does it's best to give them all the support a school can to anyone new to any school. The new teachers have mentors & training on & off campus. Each year they quickly find their groove. The office staff is supper friendly and makes themselves available. I struggle sometimes, but its cause I love my kids & want the best, I know the Carmichael campus wants that too. So I know my positive resolutions come from my attitude & my Montessori approach & understanding as I work things out with parents, teachers or staff, most especially with my kids.

I got sexual assaulted by another student on campus , with multiple teacher witnesses. guess what…read morethey did? absolutely nothing, they told the student I reported them which caused me so much bullying I had to switch schools. I attended here 2nd-7th grade. Do NOT enroll in this schools middle school, they have 3 teachers who have to teach 70 kids. They also do NOT know how to handle bullying at all, I was relentlessly bullied here, switching classes didn't do anything because of how tight knit every class is with each other. They also have a terrible special education curriculum. They know how to handle the kids but not teach them in ways thatll help growth. This is an OK school if you have a young kid but when you get to Upper El and above they get lazy and do care (grades 4-8th) and they also group up 4-6th graders in one class which makes teaching difficult as everyone receives the same kind of teachings.

Ms. Tanya, the director, is awesome--she genuinely cares about the kids and runs the school with so much heart and professionalism.

The school's educational program is excellent, and they've always been flexible and understanding with scheduling. Our daughters have learned so much and built great confidence here. Thank you, Ms. Tanya, Ms. Joanna, and the entire CHM team for creating such a nurturing place for children to learn and thrive.

He…read morestarted at the age of two and was barely speaking, within weeks we saw a complete difference- he's now educating me about the Solar System, Rain Forest, singing new songs, etc. They follow an actual curriculum and provide the subject matter to the parents via email in advance so we always know what's on the calendar. I'm very impressed with the communication from education, illnesses, fun events, children's progress, etc. The teachers are so kind and caring- my son loves them all and so do we! The school is welcoming, it truly feels like a second home, and we couldn't recommend it enough. Soon my second will be joining and I'm looking forward to watching him grow here too! Thanks CHM!!

Our children have…read morecycled through each room at Marconi Montessori and every single set of teachers has been absolutely incredible- they are kind and warm, focused on helping our children learn how to interact and grow together. The dedication toward developing the whole child is evident in interactions staff have with children. (Even in moments when I unexpectedly show up for a midday pickup- this is consistent.) Watching the teachers/staff interact with kids is a masterclass in raising tiny humans- it's honestly shaped me as a parent. I truly believe that my kids are better people because of their time spent at MM. I feel deep gratitude for the staff at this school and the community they've built. In my experience, the director bends over backward to meet the reasonable (and sometimes unreasonable) needs and concerns of families- I don't really know of anyone who feels otherwise... and I do a lot of chatting with parents at birthday parties. My belief is that preschool is about little ones exploring the world around them and learning to interact with others (which is a big enough job as it is) so my focus isn't on academics, but I know that's a big question people have: My 4 year old is going to be entering kindergarten extremely well prepared. She knows her letters and letter sounds and can sound out words, and is adding and subtracting at MM! She knows about music (calling out, "Those are drums!" "That was piano!"when we listen to songs) and excitedly tells me about the seeds they germinated in class and how flowers grow. My sense is that teachers aren't pushing kids past what they're ready for, and are instead focused on building a love for learning, but that hasn't resulted in less exposure to pre-k and kindergarten academic content. My only rec is to get on the waitlist early because it's a long one.
