Montessori Children’s Academie

This is an outstanding school. I interviewed and observed several schools and decide to go with The teachers are so caring, genuine and compassionate and Nina, the administrator truly cares about every child. My daughter and niece both attended here for almost three years and absolutely loved it. As soon as my little one is old enough I’m putting him in their program as well. I highly recommend this school!

What a great place for the kids to learn and interact with other kids. My little one has been going to this school for over a year now and she loves it.
The teachers are very sweet and takes good care of the kids. They even help potty train which was a great help for me and my little one. It took only two weeks and she’s fully potty trained! I couldn’t have done it without the amazing teachers at this place.

My nephew has attended the Montessori Children’s Academy at 2400 W. Burbank Blvd. for the school year 2013 – 2014.
It is an amazing school. The principal and all teachers are very professional and highly trained. My nephew looks forward to going to school every day and always says, «This is the best school!, You are all the best teachers!» The program offers a top notch education and great, fun environment to learn.
I highly recommend this excellent school as one of the finest in Southern California.

This place is great! My little girl loves Montessori Children’s Academie. They really go out of there way to make the kids feel safe. They also do a great job teaching the kids. My little girl has really excelled since we put her in Montessori Children’s Academie. The staff is helpful and really go out of there way to make feel as a parent that your child is in good hands.

Montessori Children’s Academie is a great school. My son has been going here since he was 2 and he will turn 5 soon. The school manager Nina is on top of everything. Majority of the teachers/​staff have been with the school for over 5 yrs and some 15+ years which you will not find at most preschool). They have very caring teachers and staff that love children.
The janitor is an older gentleman that many will see walking around with a big plastic trash bag which the other reviewer may have mistaken for an older gentleman carrying a large bag entering the school grounds.
As for the 1^st negative review, every preschool has 1 teacher assigned to x number of kids so a child with a disability will require more care/​attention which most preschool will not be able to accommodate unless they hire extra teachers.
If you want reviews from a school, any school, the best way is to talk to the parents whose kids are going there. They will tell you everything, all the good and bad. Not everything school will be perfect. I wish the Montessori Children’s Academie is in a newer building and the playground has more equipment for the kids to play with, but all this is not as important as knowing your child is well taken care of by the teachers and staff at this school.

We went on a tour of this school and while we were impressed with the cleanliness and organization of the children there was one thing that strongly stood out as a negative.
We are very concerned about safety and most importantly, whether or not a child can leave the school by themselves, or if they can be abducted easily.
The director was adamant that the schools grounds were safe and that no child could get out if left unattended. Twenty minutes after telling us this we witnessed a four year old unlock a gate that was within reach while his teacher was on the other side of the playground (about 50 feet away) not paying attention because she was paying attention to the eleven other children playing.
When we left, my husband who is a police officer wanted to to a drive by of the back of the school. We witnessed an older gentleman carrying a bag full of recyclables open the back gate which is unlocked, walk into the classroom area and go up some stairs.
All this happened AFTER we were assured that no one comes onto the campus during school hours. He walked right in and had access to all the classrooms and children. We may be paranoid, but like I said, my husband is a cop and has seen how easy it is for a child to get abducted and later found molested and worse, murdered.
This school is unsafe. If you love your child, which you do if you’re reading this, then avoid this school at all costs. Safety is not a large concern for them.
