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

I'm leaving one star because I have no choice. The principal there is extremely rude. I called 3 times to complain about three separate incidences and all she did was interrupt me and be little me. She doesn't know how to address complaints properly. Not only that, but she doesn't understand how to complain about parents behind closed doors. I went to pick up my child today and she was complaining about parents not buying Pizza for their party that they are throwing. I'm sorry I don't feel like spending $50 for 34 students students. I can't wait until my child goes

Our daughter has been attending the full-time program since she was 2 and she is very happy there and so are we, as her parents. The academic curriculum is the true Montessori method and our daughter is excelling wonderfully for her age. We are a multi-lingual family and they do a great job of teaching, to a small degree, in other languages, too. We are very pleased with the cultural diversity there which is good exposure and experience for our child so as to be well-rounded and respect those with different backgrounds and cultures. The director and staff are professional and caring in delicately

Happy Dad! I've had my daughter at this school for the last 6 months and there are a few things I really LOVE. THE STAFF, everyone here is so awesome , I LOVE how they really CARE about the child experience and how they make everything so EASY for the parents with email reminders, schedules, bill pay etc.
This location is SAFE! Gated, Access Control Coded Door Entry, Security System, etc.
For the Holidays they had a cute little performance the kids did. Super COOL! :)

I've had my daughter there for about 2 years. Since day one it has been nothing but bad experience.
My daughter is in a classroom with not to many children but she was always coming home with bite marks. Teachers do notify you when it happends but it was happening very frequently. And several bite marks at a time. After several times of complaining they moved my child from her new environment. Moving her to a different classroom was upsetting to my child. They punished my child.
I've had insistent where I've dropped her off and her teacher was standing talking to me and a child

Good comments is from fake parents. If they know how the great school does. They won't come back here in Montessori EVER! They not teach anything here. That's the matter of all. But if you do want day care maybe??!! I felt same like one of review here that all the good teacher were leaving. I put my son 1 year they change 3 teacher in one classroom. And move kids to other room back ad force without reason. After one year I move my son to one Christian School in Fern and Edison Ave. OHH.. That's when I know what the heaven is. My kids learn a lot from that school. And school does

This daycare has been going downhill. All the good staff is leaving. Jumping ship before it sinks. The only one who is Montessori trained is the manager who doesn't teach. Overall it isn't a great experience I want for my child. The teachers play favorites and neglect children there. It's kind of sad.

I cannot say enough great things about the Montessori Academy of Chino!! My son has completed two years there, he has been attending since he was two and a half. Although my son is not great with transitions, the teachers at the MAofC have ALWAYS worked with him and I feel very comfortable leaving my son in their arms (literally) when I drop him off. I have a one year old now and cannot wait to have him there next year. I am also glad that they have the option of keeping my boys there until 2nd grade, which I am definitely planning on doing. My son always gets compliments about how smart and well

I have my six year old attending this school since 2013 and he absolutely loves it. His teacher Mrs. Chami , Ms . Naomi & Ms. Mary are THE BEST TEACHERS EVER! They dont only teach him the essentials as a student but they go beyond making him feel comfortable and he always has a great time being there. Even when its time to go home he is always trying hard to be in his best behavior in order not disappoint the teachers. THANK YOU FOR THAT ... RECOMMENDED 100%

My daughter has been going to this Academy for a little over a year now and my only regret is not bringing her here sooner. I've had babysitters ranging from family, to strangers, as well as, church daycare but the one on one attention my child and other children get is amazing. Due to the small classroom sizes, the staff works very well with each child, catering to their needs. Unlike my previous experiences, this school really challenges my daughter and makes learning fun. I highly recommend taking a tour and seeing for yourself. I'm truly satisfied with the Academy.

I am deeply disappointed in the Administration and Teaching Staff of this school. I feel that they told me what I wanted to hear to get me to enroll my child without taking in consideration what I was telling them.
I sat down with the principal of this school on Nov on 2011 and explained that my child would not be the best student there and they would have to have strict disciplined and follow thru in order to be able to handle him.
The Principal assured me that they would utilized the "Principal's Office" as a punishment and require him to sit in the office and complete his
