Rising Star Montessori School

This is a rigid environment that is inflexible, and the teachers seem to cater to one personality — someone who is introverted and pliable. We have a son who is very bright, engaging, loves to try new things, and loves to talk and socialize. We felt he was not being intellectually stimulated enough, and slowly started to lose interest in the young age group over the months. But he does great with the older kids. The teachers tend to be self-​righteous and make comments about how he’s not conforming to his own age group (they do not allow mixing ages), instead of being cognizant of how each child is unique and ages differently. We opted out and went with a more inclusive Montessori school that has a better reputation for teaching to each kid’s ability, and not the other way around.

I searched high and low for a private school for my daughter. From Lamorinda area to Hayward This is the only school that met all of my high standards. From PreK to 5^th grade this school is completely dedicated to the education, growth and happiness of each child. Parent involvement isn’t suggested it’s expected and makes this school all the more better. They understand working parents schedules and time constraints. Following the Montessori theme of educating and ultimately going above and beyond for the children, this school is the answer most parents are looking for. I have recommended this school to several parents and will continue to do so. Other than providing a safe and healthy environment, providing a good education is the most important thing a parent can do. Check out Rising Star Montessori School if you are in the market for quality education for your child.

Son really liked it there and didn’t want to move but he was too old to continue. Very supportive atmosphere for introverted kids.
