Between my two kiddos, we've been with the Montessori School of Agoura for 4 years, and I cannot say enough good things about it! Before starting here, we had toured several preschools from Burbank to Thousand Oaks, and it wasn't until we toured MSofA that we really felt like we found a good one.
I had never heard of the Montessori method of preschool learning before starting at the school, but wow we love it! Our kids have truly thrived academically, socially and independently. The teachers are engaging and attentive, and truly care about the kids and how they are learning and growing. And all of the teachers have been with the school for years, some decades. It's like family here.
One of the big draws to the school for us was also the outdoor play area. It's expansive with room for the kids to exert their energy along with several different areas of interest appropriate for the littlest kids to the bigger kids like play structures, tricycle area, sandbox, building blocks, playhouses, etc.
And another thing I love about the school is their environmentally friendly mindset with encouraging reusable lunch boxes/components, using cloth napkins for lunchtime and snacks, repurposing and reusing resources for writing work and crafting, composting, etc.
It honestly is just a lovely environment and I love who my kids are becoming with help from their experience here.
We’ve had the best experience at Montessori School of Agoura! For both our girls it was like a second home! They enjoyed so much the atmosphere there and the carring teachers. They have the best memories! They bonded lasting friendships there with a large group of kids. They always remember Montessori as a wonderful time. We felt like the teachers were like our extended family. We loved Miss. Karen, the school director, for her academic skills, authority and her valuable parenting advice when we asked for one. It made our life easier, especially with the morning routine.😁
