There are so many reasons I like this school I don't even think I can list them all here, but here goes: -The school is owner run and I really feel like the director has a passion for sharing montessori with the kids and families. -The classes are staffed with wonderful montessori trained teachers. -It has a very cute setting in a cottage-like building and nice outdoor space which makes it feel very homey -You have the option to purchase lunch or bring your own where all the other schools I found required you to pay for lunch even if you brought your own. -There is a great group of parents who are active in the parent association -There are monthly educational enrichment programs brought in for the kids -There are monthly school-wide play dates so kids can socialize outside of school. There is a focus on fostering independence and responsibility in the classrooms and both my daughters have really enjoyed and thrived in this environment. I am very thankful to have found a place that is such a good fit for us.

They have great onsite programs for dedicated dance classes, art classes and Spanish classes after school hours to give them enrichment outside school without me having to take him anywhere else.

I appreciate the owner, Ms Barbara and her desire to create an amazing environment for my son and a place where I feel included and appreciated as well. Your family will enjoy this learning experience.

My wife and I were in a scramble to find a summer rest are for our son (the delay caused by not…read moreknowing if he would get extended summer classes, he's mildly special needs). My son is 4 but not yet potty trained. He's polite, gregarious, and laughs a lot. But, as a kid potentially on the spectrum, he will have melt downs. Usually a hug and a cracker will bring him back down to earth. We told all of this to the supervisor during our initial phone call and she said, "We definitely have openings, this won't be a problem. Why don't you come take a tour?" We scheduled one for that following Friday. We were toured by Soni (sp?) and it became clear that this would be a problem. She only talked about the gifted kids in the school and, when prompted to talk about the average kids, she shrugged and said, "We deal with them." We met the 4 year old class, all sitting quietly and coloring, while the teacher looked on. We were introduced as the parents of our son, "Who has special needs, so I don't know what to say to you." What does that even mean? My son was quiet and polite, if not a little shy, the whole tour. We left with the feeling that this wouldn't be a good fit. 5 days later, we received a voicemail from the supervisor saying, "We don't have the teachers to handle him or any openings." What happened to "this wouldn't be a problem"? What happened to the openings? It's as if, by some neuro divergent prejudice, our son magically became a problem. Do not send your kids here unless they are "perfect".

We attended the open house in fall 2024 for our child who would have started WRM for third grade…read moreduring the 2025-2026 academic year. We were sufficiently impressed and the kid liked it, so we applied. The application fee was $500. There was supposed to be class visits for student applicants in February-March 2025 to see if they were a good fit and if the child liked the environment. We were never contacted for a visit. In fact, we were never contacted about anything at all. I am writing this review in May 2025 and we never received notification that she had been accepted or not. Clearly, she had not, and we have moved on so that is fine. But aren't we at least owed an answer for our $500? My wife wrote to inquire and was told that a post card acknowledging the application was sent in October 2024. Ok, fine. But what about after October 2024? My wife was told the file was incomplete. Ok, if that is the case, why were we not notified? We sent all required materials so we we were unaware that the file was incomplete. But that still raises the question why the admissions director at WRM did not follow up and notify us that certain materials were missing (apparently lost by their side)? I cannot speak to the pedagogy at WRM. It may be very good. But the admission process leaves much to be desired. The two stars are for an unwillingness to follow up or to notify us of their decision. I guess we were just to supposed to figure out that no news meant rejection. As I said, that is fine because we found an alternative school and accepted its offer. But WRM needs to get its admission process corrected. We don't think it is right to take money and then never respond with an answer.

I looked up the school online as we are moving soon, and wanted to find the perfect Montessori for…read moremy child to attend. Background info: my child currently attends a montessori in California and judging from the website I thought this school would be a pretty amazing fit. I saw there were only 3 spots left and I wasn't sure if it were for the current year or for the start of the next school year so I called and left a voicemail to learn more information. I received a call at 8am PST (a few minutes ago). Instead of introducing herself, and the school. She just stated "what do you want to know?" We'll generally ma'm all of the information that one would need to know when a parent is excited (was excited) for their child to possibly attend this school of course . I mentioned the word "tuition" and was cut off immediately with a boisterous "it's fifteen thousand dollars". Ok, I saw that part posted online, what I wanted clarity as to know things like the tuition scheduling breakdown for payments over the course of the year...but according to her I'm assuming its a lump sum payment. And since I was cut off I'm assuming the admission fees, supply fees and any other fees are just thrown in the abyss of fees without a breakdown. Her next question was followed by what grade and I mentioned LOWER ELEMENTARY. She then proceeded to ask me if my child were in school...well of course, yes my child is in school. I was then asked if I we're familiar with Montessori education... yes I am (one should draw the conclusion that if I mention that my child is in LOWER ELEMENTARY that would most likely mean that my child is already enrolled in a Montessori). I was then asked what grade my child were in. I mentioned technically it would be 1st grade (for a public education). I was then asked if my child started school...of course, yes. She then proceeded to say, "so he would be in 2nd grade next year?" this seemed like a trick question to check my knowledge of the Montessori method, or to see if I knew what number came after 1 . I felt unnecessarily grilled. The representative seemed bothered that she had to call me back and stated that I could go online "as theres a ton of information on there". I informed her that we were moving from CA, and I wanted to be on top of things since the schools website mentioned there were only three spots left and I didn't want to miss out. She mentioned nothing else really, just when did I expect to move and I mentioned for the fall... I was told to schedule an appointment online. Ok, It would make absolutely zero sense for me to schedule a visit to a school that doesn't have any openings for the intended school year while I still live in CA. What is so wrong with wanting a seamless transition? I would also like to mention that the school's website invites parents to call for more information (which I did). I didn't like her tone, it was snarky. How dare I call White Rock Montessori to learn more information (only to be redirected back to the site that could not answer my question which still went unanswered on the phone call). The schools online presence does not match with the attitude of school personnel, and the way the representative came off was as if this were an exclusive boarding school for uber wealthy investors in the UAE.
