My First Montessori

My two children have thrived at this school. I don't understand the comments about teachers in sweats and being passive at all. I volunteer in my child's class and haven't seen anything negative. I talk to many of the teachers since I am there a few times a week and all of them so far have had exprience and many are Montessori certified or trained. My girls both learned to read early, are verbal, kind and the teachers have always kept me inthe loop. I love it! and recommend all parents who are interested check it out themselves. more

My two children have been going to MFM for 2 years and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I picked the school initially because their hours fit my needs, but I have kept my children there because I am confident that I am leaving them in the best of care.

I've seen huge improvements in both children since bringing them here. The facility is better than any others we toured by a substantial margin and the quality of the staff is consistently high. I've not encountered one person here in the 16 months we've been with them that gave me pause for their credentials or their attitude. Offering special trips to the Long Beach Aquarium, Tanaka Farms, and the Getty is yet another example of how they consistently go the extra mile to provide a special experience to the children who go there. Perhaps the greatest tribute to this provider is from our own children, who both are eager to go to Montessori each day (except after vacations, then more
