Aww my Montessori Academy of Chino!! My Princess Natalie will miss you! We were here for a whole school year. (September 2020-June202) The school staff will forever hold a loving place in my heart. The peace of mind they gave me everyday was worth every dollar. If I could pay you more I would. I am that busy, divorced, full-time job, part-time student mom. Always running in 10minutes late. Somedays I would be so exhausted from life, but I knew when I dropped off my 4 year old here she was safe. The peace of mind all the staff members gave me I will never forget. Ms. Sonia, with her loving smile

My daughter has been here since Summer of 2020. Covid-19 hit everyone pretty hard but this school managed to stay open and still offer their services. The director is always updating parents on new things going on. Communication with them is awesome and they always take precautions with everything. The updated all parents on the cleaning and disinfecting process taking place, upcoming event or activities and sharing pictures of the kids on special occasions. The teachers are super nice and my daughter enjoys being here. They make sure they keep the kids busy with different activities. It's

Great school. My son and daughter attended this school for almost two years, we have nothing but great memories. Improvement was visible almost immediately on all aspects, vocabulary, math, science, social skills, etc. I cannot thank the teachers enough. They took care of my kids physically, and they helped them grow emotionally.

My daughter is 2 years old and has been coming here for a few months now. You can tell the teachers enjoy their jobs, most importantly they truly care about the kids and their wellbeing. My daughter loves coming to school and has already started to demonstrate academic progress in just the 3 months she has been there.

This school is great. A bit overpriced, BUT my child came in as soon as 3 only knowing how to count to 10 now, a year later I hear ABC's, counting to 30 and distinguishing letters. I really wish they had other languages available. I also think they need improvement on handling bad behavior since my child has came home a few times with an injury by another child. Over all they're kind and caring for your child.

I absolutely loved this school. My son was in TK and learned to read with minimal help in just a few months! He was learning side by side with kindergarten and first grade students. I believe this helped all of the students not just the younger ones, because the older kids were able to learn by teaching the younger students.... and the teach-back method reinforces learning substantially. Too bad we moved out of state. I miss this school dearly. They said my son was "fertile soil." Well I say they were "our angels." I picked this school because the hours were a good fit for my
