  Our experience with Reach Montessori Preschool for the past 2 years has been great. Our daughter has learned a lot and she also enjoys her time with her teachers and friends at school. Ms. Annie and the rest of the staff are amazing.

  I can't say enough positive things about Reach Montessori! My daughter, Aubrey, has been attending this school for the past 2 years, and it has truly been a wonderful experience for our family.Ms. Annie and her team of teachers are simply the best. They have created a nurturing and stimulating environment where my child thrives. The level of care, kindness, and patience they exhibit is outstanding. It's clear that they genuinely care about each child's development and well-being.Prior to enrolling at Reach Montessori, we had tried another Montessori school, but there was no comparison. Since joining this incredible community, we have noticed such a remarkable difference in Aubrey's personality and growth. She is now excited to go to school every day and has blossomed into a more people-oriented individual.Additionally, I appreciate how accessible Ms. Annie is as an administrator; she always takes the time to address any concerns or questions promptly.If you're looking for an exceptional Montessori school that fosters both academic excellence and personal growth in your child while creating a warm and welcoming environment - look no further than Reach Montessori!Thank you so much to Ms. Annie and her dedicated team for making our journey with Reach Montessori so fantastic! We highly recommend this school without hesitation.

  The facility is nice and neat. All the teachers are friendly, patient and helpful. My daughter is autistic kid, so she has hard time to communicate with people. However, after a year she is more open and adapt to the environment. I would recommend this place to other people to come.

  Our daughter just graduated from this charming school yesterday and we will miss it so much! Our daughter has grown so much during her time here, gaining not just skills but confidence! The kids here are safe and well cared for. Ms. Annie always gets back to my emails right away, Ms. Kaur is a remarkable pre-K teacher, and the other staff clearly care about the students.

  We have loved having our daughter here. She has gained knowledge and independence. The teachers are kind but the rules are clear. They have so much fun, but there is structure and variety. Our family is so grateful to this sweet school!

  This is a preschool that might be ignored by some parents because it is relatively small, not at a fancy location, and doesn't have the fanciest facilities. My 4 year old daughter has been here for 8 months and she is happy every day going to this school. She was from a much bigger bilingual school with brand and she was not as happy as she is now. I like the diversity of the school, and it's a real Montessori school that mixed age kids have a lot of opportunity interacting with each other. And my daughter has grown and learned a lot on how to take care of younger or interact with older kids. She will go to Kindergarten this fall and everybody including herself feels prepared. I highly recommend this school!

  My 3.5 years old daughter has been attending this school for the past 1.5 years and she loves it. Although the facilities are not top-of-the-line, the classrooms and playgrounds are spacious and immaculately maintained.The teachers are truly amazing - they're caring, responsible, and dedicated to helping each child develop socially. My daughter has made great friends and enjoys a range of activities, from singing and dancing to arts and crafts. The teachers also ensure that the children take regular bathroom breaks, and as a result, my daughter has been accident-free since being potty trained. All in all, if you're seeking a warm and stimulating environment for your child, this preschool is the perfect choice!

  My daughter started at Reach Montessori Perschool at 3yrs old, and she loves going there to meet with her friends, teachers and learn so many things. And her favorite teacher is Ms. Kaur and Ms. Deil. Highly recommended for your Kid/s.

  (I wrote the same review on Google) This is a preschool that might be ignored by some parents because it is relatively small, not at a fancy location, and doesn't have the fanciest facilities. My 4-year-old daughter has been here for 8 months and she is happy every day going to this school. She was from a much bigger bilingual school with a brand and she was not as happy as she is now. She barely can understand English before joining this school and now she has no problem having daily English communication or watching English program. I like the diversity of the school, and it's a real Montessori school where mixed-age kids have a lot of opportunities to interact with each other. My daughter has grown and learned a lot about how to take care of younger or interact with older kids. She will go to Kindergarten this fall and everybody including herself feels prepared.

  My daughter Serena attended this school from 2020-2021, and based on what she had told me everyday after school I knew that she had a great time at Reach Montessori Preschool. Serena was always excited and ready to go school. She made a lots of friends and also bonded well with the teachers. After class she often shared with me what she did in class such as counting numbers, subtraction, addition and learning the alphabet. It made me felt relieved knowing that my daughter is learning well at this school. Serena liked most of the teachers there especially Mrs.Annie who protected her from a misbehaved kid. There was a time when Serena mentioned to me that a kid from her class was constantly picking on her, doing thing like pulling her hair and throwing her stuff on the floor. I didn't want to use the word "bully", but that kid was giving my daughter a hard time, which need to be corrected as soon as possible. Mrs. Annie took action immediately after I reported the situation to her and I never heard from Serena about that kid bothering her again. I cannot imagine if the teacher decided to take a soft approach while the misbehaved child was constantly disturbing others. It set my mind at ease knowing that the teacher at this school cared about the students and would firmly prevent school bullying. Having a misbehaved child picking on other kids does happen in a lot of schools, but what makes this place different is that the teacher responded quickly and efficiently. The the overall atmosphere at this school is very friendly and sociable. I always see kids laughing, playing and having a fun time whenever I go pick up my daughter. I would definitely recommend this place to other friends.

  I have send my child to Reach Montessori Preschool for 2 years already. My daughter loves her teacher Ms. Dil and Mrs. Kaur.she went to this preschool when she was about 2 years old and now she can read and do addition problems. The school always post classroom activities , newsletter on Facebook business page. Through the posts I know what is the currently monthly theme that my child will learn at school. When I have concerns, I communicates with the director, she is always listen and her answer help me & my daughter learn better & easier. We are very happy with this school, & we always recommend "Reach Montessori" to my friends & neighbors.

  Mrs Annie screams at children . My child being delayed speech was really affected with the way children are yelled at here . Three occasions I saw Mrs Annie yelling , once at a 3-4 year old girl when she asked them to stop at classroom 2 and they did not . I don't expect a child that young to follow instructions so well and yell at them if they don't . She was bending down at the girl and screaming "I asked you to stop at classroom 2 , why don't you listen " . The other time a 4-5 year old kid hit someone- then she screams at him "keep your hands to yourself , this is getting ridiculous, this is not acceptable " . Discipline is necessary but not by screaming- She was also yelling at a teacher one day when I went to pick my kid up. Not an environment I want my child to be around . When I asked her about it she says oh our stadium just gives resound that's why. I'm an adult and you think I can't differentiate between screaming and resound? There was no visibility as to what the child does at school. My child had expressive language delay and he couldn't tell me what he ate or what he did at school. When I asked the teacher- they always said he ate his lunch well. But in reality my child was hungry and by 2:30 pm when I picked him up he used to be ravenous . In his previous school in Fremont he used to come home singing rhymes or saying new words that he learnt at school each day. Here in this school , he just became silent . He didn't learn anything, either the curriculum was faulty or the screaming made him shut down. He is again learning fine in the new school he joined now and is actually academically ahead of his peers. His issue was expert language. Also lot of teacher turnover. My child's class had 2 teachers ms Marcela and ms christina. Mrs kaur was a teacher for 4-5 year olds not my 3 year olds teacher . Mrs Marcela moved and to find her replacement the teachers were changed 3 times in 5 months he was there. Post covid lockdowns it was hard on my child who has social anxiety. Due to delays my child started becoming more aware of his surroundings / peers etc at 3.5 and he also saw some kids hitting at school etc which is a habit he picked up and he was hitting others.she told me that he started to hit others on a Wednesday. On Thursday, Instead of disciplining the child with methods like using a quiet corner or hands to yourself, separating them from the peers etc she called me to pick him up because he was autistic(He is not, mind you we didn't have an assessment yet at this point). She herself deduced that he was autistic and started to look at everything he does through that lens, I asked if she tried discipline methods that she uses for other kids - she said no, basically her disciplinary methods are yelling and screaming .She said we are not a one on one facility, the teacher has to serve food and can't watch the children while they are playing in the playground. If children aren't being observed at play then why run a school? One of the new teacher actually understood my child and started to be assertive to him to get things done by him and he started to respond beautifully. In the one month she was there he did so well, but then she was terminated. I asked Mrs Annie about the reason because my kid responded to her so well. She says I think she is also special needs so he responded to her. She questions with my methods and doesn't listen so I had to let her go. At my breaking point , I asked her to return the tuition because she was unable to tend to my child's needs - she says it's school policy for termination after a 30 day notice .Now it was her who said she can't provide attention, how will I trust sending my child here anymore? She did not return the fee, I did not send my child for the remainder period. In February they informed us to get our child assessed and we did, they filled out a form for our pediatrician- not any walkthrough like they are faking it here. Due to the system and covid delays the appo

  Today was supposed to be my daughter's last day at the Reach Montessori Preschool, but I decided to let her stay home with me. No email or phone call to check up on the student :)First of all, I'd like to thank Emma, Kristy and Vivian for being great and caring teachers. The rating star is for you. Despite of that, Reach Montessori is the worst preschool/ summer camp ever. I made a big mistake when putting my 4.5 years old daughter here. I would never recommend this place to any parents. These are the terrible issues that I have experienced:1. There are no phone exchange and conversations about how my kid is doing during the school time. I have no ideas what my kid learn and her activities in school, her friends' names, what she has for lunches, etc. I don't see my kid improve knowledge or learn any skills and new things at this school. I intentionally to put her to summer camp, and after talking to Annie, I thought she has summer camp themes and curriculums for her ages, but there is none. 2. School has no AC and the principal does not care about kids' wellbeing. My kid got heat strokes and heat exhaustion several times because the teachers let her expose under the sun and hot weather for too long. Also every time I pick her up, her water bottle is always empty even though I mention it to the teachers several times that they should check and refill it. 3. School shares with me the lunch menu but every time I try to check with my kid about her lunch, for example I ask her "how was the spaghetti today?" if I see the menu provides spaghetti, she tells me that "no, I didn't eat spaghetti. My teacher told me to eat my snacks." When my daughter went to other daycare/ preschool, she always shared with me what she had during lunches or what her friends eat. Also, the teachers let the kids use bare/ dirty hands to eat snacks instead of putting them on plates when they play outside. 4. I don't think teachers supervise the kids, including kids at school ages. One time my kid told me that her friend who is a girl showed my kid and other friends her "private part." I don't know who that girl is (teacher never teaches the kids names of friends), and I'm wondering where the teachers were at that time. Also there was one time that the principal gave me the project kit for 9+ years old kids because she said my kid couldn't do it by herself in class. When I went home and opened the kit, I couldn't believe what I saw (see the pictures). The principal tried to call and explained to me, but this incident should not happen if school kids were well supervised. What scares me is I'm wondering what older kids could do to younger kids if the supervision is not in-place. Further, my kid got bit by a friend at school (see picture) but the school never notified me. She told me that she cried but the teacher didn't pay attentions and didn't try to figure out what happened. There was no accident report given to parent either. I feel unsafe when putting my kid to this school. 5. When registered, I told the school principal Annie about parents' situation and about my daughter's Dad pickup schedules. There was 1 time that my daughter's Dad forgot and picked her up on the day that he was not supposed to. When I got to school and didn't see my kid, I asked Annie. Instead of her trying to communicate with me and figuring out what's going on, she stood really far away and told me "Scarlett got picked up by a guy. I think he is her Dad" then walked into a room. There was no follow-up after that. I don't accept that kind of behavior from a school principal and how she handled this type of situation. 5. Overall, the principal does NOT care about the kid. My daughter got heat exhaustion and was sick, so I let her stay home on Monday and sent email to the principal to inform her. No response back. I let my kid stay home again the next day. Again, there was no follow up or concern email. With other preschools, if I dropped of
