Carlsbad Montessori School

Posted: January 10, 2014

The school and the program have undergone a lot of major renovations in the last year. At first I was skeptical, but now I'd say all the changes have been for the best. The building is where the biggest changes have been made, but the new administrative staff is a lot better at communicating. We were thinking of pulling our son out because of the distance, but now we're recommending it to our friends. You wont find a better school for academics in the area.

My child has attended this school for 3 years. even though the facility might look a little old, and the playground a little beat up. I can see were the school thrives the most. ACADEMICS ! we are forgetting the puprose of a good school its not how they look its how they teach your child and the experience your child has. My four year old now reads, writes , adds and subtracts Thanks to this school. All the teachers are loving and very well educated. I understand its a non-profit org. So I can relate money is tight some times, to make cosmetic renovations. If you are looking for a well balanced enviorment for your child not simply a playbase or a fancy facility give this school a try. Of cousre as of any school children need parent involvment as well dont expect the school to do everything parents need to practice at home with their child as well.

I have sent my son to this preschool for over a year now. In this time he has learned to read as well as some math functions. I interviewed the school before to ask about the teachers and most teachers had been there for 2 yrs plus. Since my son has been there, there has only been one teacher change and this was due to the previous teacher having a baby. They do have somewhat of a high turnover in teachers aides, but of course is understandable due to this depending on child concentration. All the head teachers are very knowledgeable and patient. I love the Montessori teaching practices and the emphasis on academics. The director is understanding and caring of all the children. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating is the playground could use some upgrades.

My girl went to this school for 1.5 years and she had 3 different teachers and the third one was about to quit when we left the school this year. earlier this spring, the school put short metal stacks all over the playground to protect the new grass. my girl fell and her neck landed on one of the stack and could have died! what kind of safety is that?! i deposited the refund check from the school director and just found out the check bounced. will never recommend this school to people!
