Schools in Danville, CA

“We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experiences our daughter, Lola, has had at Fountainhead Montessori School. From the moment she started at 18 months, the nurturing environment and dedicated teachers have played a pivotal role in her growth and development.

As we prepare to move to Southern California, we reflect on the countless moments that made her time here so special. Each teacher has not only imparted knowledge but has also instilled a love of learning and curiosity in Lola. Their patience, creativity, and unwavering support have helped her blossom in ways we never imagined.

We will carry the memories of her laughter and discoveries with us, and we will forever appreciate all that the staff has done to nurture her spirit. Thank you, Fountainhead Montessori, for being such an integral part of our family's journey. You will always hold a special place in our hearts!

With love and gratitude,
Mike and Jessica Frugaletti”

“Both of our sons went through Learn and Play Montessori and we spent 6 year total with the program. We couldn't be happier with our experience and LAPMS' impact on our boys' development. We had teachers who truly cared about our sons and fostered their continued growth with their friends.

We will miss the program and recommend it to anyone.”

“Our daughter started at Autumn Creek when she turned 2, and we have had the most wonderful experience over these last two years.

Starting a new daycare is never easy, but the teachers were consistently kind and loving, always showing such patience and care for her at drop-off. She quickly grew to love going there and to this day, she happily walks straight in.

She has really thrived at Autumn Creek and continues to grow in so many ways. Of course, there is the academic component. She regularly comes home talking about everything she’s learned - from foundational skills to facts about the Earth to phrases in Hindi. But what is most important to us is how she’s grown as a person. The teachers place such emphasis on social emotional learning, always encouraging and helping kids to become more resilient, caring, and confident.

We’re very lucky to have our older daughter at Autumn Creek and know our younger one will enroll as soon as she’s old enough.”

“My daughter attended Danville Montessori from 2023 to 2025, and it was an amazing experience for her. The school is very well organized and maintains a good balance of structure and discipline, while still creating a warm and welcoming environment.
She learned not just academics, but also so many valuable life skills that will stay with her beyond the classroom. The group of kids here are wonderful, and the caring teachers have been incredible - always supporting her and helping her catch up in areas where she needed extra attention.
Communication with the school has been excellent and prompt, which made the experience smooth for us as parents. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the choice of Danville Montessori and highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing and well-rounded environment for their child.”

“OK so this review is long overdue even though my son has only been attending the school for a few months. So we moved from a close by school that was amazing. We loved being there. We loved the staff; they were so friendly and so kind and we really appreciate them and everything they did for my son. The only reason we looked into switching was because we felt like he's getting bored. We really saw that. He has so much more potential only if the curriculum or the school goes after what he is very good at. Now it has only been a few months, but I cannot even find the words to tell you how much improvement I see in my son. The school focuses on academics but also emotional and social growth so much that it is unbelievable The amount of hi's, goodbyes, calling everybody by their names, and just any social growth that you would not just expect but you would dream of your child having, they have put it in him already. And the way they go about is so amazing that I don't even have to ask him to do those anymore. Now moving on to academics and sciences and art - so my son was always very interested in animals and science and things like that. We read all sorts of books like that at home, and I know he was already advanced for his age. However, ever since we have moved to the school, it has been taken to next level. The school is ran by two fabulous women who care, who are very passionate, who love children, and who are on top of everything. And I mean everything. Their communication, the way they keep you involved, yet make sure their policies and rules and children's independence stays intact is beyond amazing. Also they have done a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful job picking out the most caring, passionate, informative, kind, and responsible teachers you can ever find. You can tell how happy the teachers are and how much they love what they do. I can honestly go on and on and on bragging about this school and everything about it. So anything you could possibly ever ask ,want, or need in every school they've got it all and more. Thank you for taking care of our little ones so well and for preparing them for what's to come. We truly love and appreciate you all.”

“My daughter has been going here for a little over a year and absolutely loves it and thrives here. It’s personal and I know most of the teachers by name. Priya is absolutely wonderful and has set a beautiful environment for growth.It’s not just daycare; as an after-school program as well, the teachers truly care about your child’s education and go the extra mile to provide exceptional care. My daughter loves going and has never had a bad report. I particularly love the additional reinforcement they provide in addition to homework from the school - the packets are fantastic!!”
