Children’s Montessori Center of Via Verde

My son has been here for almost 2 years and I absolutely love it! He has been to 3 other day cares and this is exactly what I was looking for. He’s learned so much! Potty training, manners, basic everyday skills! He’s only 3 and already tracing his letters and numbers! Even my brother takes my niece here, I recommend it to everyone asking about daycares.

This is the worst preschool ever! I found out after my daughter was going there that her teacher was fired from her previous preschool position, yet was employed at there. The obviously do not check references or qualifications of their staff. My daughter was alienated and ostracized for having adhd and not conforming to the it idea of «normal». My daughter hated going there due to them harrassing her and belittling her in front of her peers. Lets not forget to mention the constant harrassment they inflicted upon me on a daily basis after I found out they hired non qualified people. The director Kimberly is a fake and does not care about the children. The school is dirty and you can see the half naked children in the restroom from the parking lot since thwir bathroom door is left open so the children have no privacy.

My daughter, who is turning 8 this year has been coming here since she was 18 months. In mu honest opinion, I have nothing but admiration and gratefulness towards Ms. Crystal, Ms, Rutka and the entire staff at the school. My daughter loves and has been loved by all the staff from day one. She is advanced in all areas of academia and will continue into a GATE Program starting in 2 years. Each time I enter the school, I would routinely see one on one time between the students and a teacher reading or writing. My daughter has been in a class of no more than 10 kids and with a loving staff, that is why she has excelled. It’s going to be heart breaking next year when my daughter is forced into another school.
The reason for such is this particular Montessori school only goes through 2^nd grade. I wish it would extend into higher grades but there are no plans as of yet. I absolutely love this school, the staff and the care and integrity in which they have raised my daughter. It was also outstanding that they taught inter-​religion respect and understanding for all ethnicities and cultures. I can’t say enough about this school. Yes, it is in a strip mall, yes, it is an older building, No, they don’t have millions of dollars to spend on glitz and glamour, but you don’t need any of that if the school is filled with love, respect and giving teachers… My daughter will never find an environment filled with such wonderful, caring teachers than this school.
God Bless you Ms. Crystal and all your team, you are today’s miracle and inspiration for others to follow.

When I decided to put my daughter in preschool I was concerned whether I would ever find a place that would take care of her as well as I did. Well, I did find that place. It is the Children’s Montessori Center of Via Verde. The teachers and administrators are amazing. They are loving and caring and the school has a very well-​rounded curriculum. My daughter enjoys going to this school everyday and that makes me a happy mom with a peace of mind.
