We started our son at this school just as he was turning 2. He has spent three years here and as we are now moving out of state, we have had to say goodbye to Montessori North Ranch. We are so sad to have to leave. Our son was here for the entire duration of the pandemic where the school, staff and teachers took great care in keeping our children safe and still able to attend school. His time and experience here has been such a tremendous gift to us and our family. We are moving to be closer to famiy, but while here in CA, Montessori North Ranch was an extension of our family. Our son spent a lot of his time here and the care and attention he received from his teachers is unparalleled. He spent time in two different classrooms having grown up and transitioned from Toddlers to Primary and both classes were great. All of the teachers were so loving and took good care of our son. He is ready for kindergarten and beyond because of the attention that was given while in class. The work he got to learn and practice has been a huge benefit for him and he made close friends along the way as all the kids have been so great! Rola, the director of the school was always clear in the Montessori vision and I appreciated the detail she took in making sure the school was run at high quality, even in the midst of a global pandemic. Each teacher was fantastic in their own right, but I would be remiss if not to especially call out Ms Devina for helping our son grow and develop into the young man he is today. Ms Maricela, Ms Hannah, Ms Silva, Ms Sarah, and ALL The teachers there always made a point of taking time to share with our son. We will miss them all and thank them for having such a positive impact on him. We will also miss the extra curricular teachers, Ms Nikki from Dance Kidz, and Mr. B from Mister B's Buzz who did music. These two special people instilled in our son a love of Music, Dance, Art and Creative Play! He loves them both so much and I will forever be grateful to them both for helping spark a love of music in our boy.
Everything at Montessori North Ranch was great for our family, from the year round hours and schedule, to the hot lunch provided, to the curriculum offered to the children. The teachers, along with Ms Rola and the staff made this school a memorable place for our family. We will never forget them and will hold them in a special place in our hearts always.
Absolutely so happy with our daughter's daycare! We put our daughter here after being at another Montessori that didn't work out and it was the best decision we've made! Through the pandemic they've been able to give us such an inclusive experience and they've been so good at communicating about our daughter's progress on a consistent basis while also keeping everyone safe!
As a new mom- I also feel I've also learned so much more on how to help my daughter at home with the life skills she is being taught here at her school too! The teachers she has had in both the infants and walking infants classes have been truly amazing and so nurturing to our daughter! I feel at complete ease leaving my daughter here in their care. Ms. Marie, Ms. Candice, Ms. Ana, and Ms. Gracie have all worked the most with my daughter and I'm so grateful for them being in her life! I can't thank them enough as I've seen such a huge development in my daughter's overall well being - she loves to sing, dance, read books, and has become so much more independent in her play! She has learned great social skills with her peers and will communicate her needs with me through even sign language she has learned at school too!
They also have many wonderful activities for the children and family to participate within- which is the best part! The children will receive a music class experience weekly and it's great when you can see their seasonal performances filmed and shared with us online as well!
Overall, I've really enjoyed having our daughter here at the Montessori! The Director Ms. Rola and the Assistant Director Ms. Joanna have done such a fantastic job at making us feel welcomed and included in our daughter's development! They definitely treat you like part of a family here! They always communicate with us and share any information that is necessary with us either through emails or phone calls to make our experience at the Montessori of North Ranch as smooth and comfortable as possible! Ms. Rola and Ms. Joanna are also actively involved within each of the classes and we are so grateful for how attentive they've been to our daughter's needs and transitions as she has moved through the different classes. Definitely recommend them if you're looking for quality education and an overall positive atmosphere for your child to grow in!
