“To anyone wondering if this is the right school for their child, it is!

Crystal, Josh, and all of the staff at Montessori in Motion are excellent. They do everything! Academics, crafts, music, play, cooking, wellness - you name it! My favorite thing that they teach, though, is independence and consistency. My daughter has flourished in her time there.

I highly recommend Montessori in Motion. If you have any questions and/or want to know more, reach out to Crystal and Josh and see for yourself.”

“I started my journey with Creart back in 2015 with my first born child. Being a first time parent and not having personal experience on what to look for in a child care facility made me a bit nervous, on top of my attachment issues. It was hard for me to leave my child with anyone who wasn’t family. Paty went over her child care program routines, introduced me to the staff and made me feel I could trust them with my child. From the first day my child attended Creart, they kept me informed by text or talking to me at pick up time of how my child did during the day. They shared picture of my child’s developing growth and any accomplishment my child made. Their curriculum includes, creative art, outside playing, multicultural activities and much more. When my child was diagnosed with Speech Delay and learning disabilities at age of 2, Paty facilitated his services by allowing the specialists to evaluate and provide his therapies at the child care facility. From day one, they were very supportive. Two years later, my second child started Creart. My experience didn’t changed. Both of my children loved their child care, their teachers and the experience they had while at Creart. They loved looking at their photo albums and remembering their preschool days. On early school dismissal, they come to visit their preschool teachers and pick up their little brother. Creart has been more than just a quality child care facility for us, they are family ♥”

Reporting the results by Laura was exceptional. I am grateful for the detailed information and clarity about the action plan.
I greatly appreciated the thorough approach and hopefully a positive outcome after remediation occurs!”

“We are so grateful we found Oakview. After moving to Marin during COVID, it was difficult to find a sense of community, but Oakview gave our family that and so much more.

Our daughter started at Oakview at age two, and from the moment we toured the school, we knew it was special. The warm and welcoming environment stood out to us. Every classroom felt joyful, engaging, colorful, and thoughtfully designed. After touring a handful of places we knew Oakview was the one.

Over the years, it has been a joy to watch our daughters grow and thrive. Our oldest recently graduated and is heading to kindergarten with confidence, independence, and a genuine love of learning. I have especially loved seeing how much she admires and adores her teachers. The teachers really go above and beyond with unique and creative, hands-on projects and building relationships with each child and their families.

Lastly, as newcomers to Marin, we met so many wonderful families through the school who have become some of our closest friends.

Oakview has been an incredibly special part of our lives, and we are deeply grateful for the love, care, education, creativity, and community it has provided. We couldn't recommend it more highly.”
