I have been supporting students at Montessori Ivy League Academy as a Speech-Language therapist for the past 1.5 years. I am grateful for the support, collaboration and the commitment by all educators to support differentiated instruction for their students. Their commitment in giving a child a well-rounded, evidence-based education with access to rich tools and vibrant learning is to be commended.

This is a very well managed school and very true to the principals of Montessori teaching !! Children learn and excel at their own pace !!

I am a grandma. I live in SoCal, so I hardly see my granddaughter but when I come to visit I see a tremendous improvements in terms of following instructions and interaction with others. She also learned new words in Spanish and English.
I can tell that my granddaughter love going to school by just seeing her eagerness to go to get ready. The MILA must have a great learning system and the same time make the place an enjoyable experience for our kiddos.
I will highly recommend MILA and give it 10/10.
Thank you to all the teachers and caregivers for all you do. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏. Job well done 👏👏👏

Even for a toddler, our daughter didnt follow directions well but within about a month, she was putting toys back and cleaning up after herself. We watched in the lobby camera as she got in line to walk from one room to the next, went to her spot in circle time, and sat/participated as needed. Its not just her, the other kids behave the same ans that tells you it's not just her or an accident. The school had an effective system that works. She comes home repeating alphabet songs english and spanish. During visits she takes us around to different stations. MILA does a fantastic job of giving latitude to the kids interests while providing boundaries and structure. 10/10 would recommend.

We are grateful to have found this phenomenal school! 🙏🏼
Our daughter loves it here, and we have seen tremendous improvement since she attended this school in October.
Our daughter is a sweetheart but stubborn; we could barely get her to listen to us or follow directions. However, thanks to her teacher's amazing work, she now stays in line, sits down, and eats meals with other kids. She even allows teachers to hold her hands to draw and do projects. Her vocabulary has improved greatly.
The students are so sweet and caring; we often see the older kids helping the little ones, which makes our hearts happy and reassures us that our baby is in good hands.
We are glad we ignored the negative reviews and came to check it out on our own. Other parents spoke highly of the school during our first tour, which was the authentic review we have seen.
The staff is amazing; our daughter's head teacher is Miss Rubina and her awesome team. Everyone we have interacted with has been friendly and professional, and the director is kind and professional; it's obvious she cares about the teachers, students, and families. Even better, the parents are nice and friendly during the drop off and pick up.
We highly recommend this school. If you have doubts about the school based on some negative reviews, ignore them, check it out on your own, and you won't be disappointed. 😊

My two daughters study in this amazing Montessori and they have been very happy since they started. It isn’t easy to trust someone with your little ones, but this place has very well prepared and loving teachers and while it isn’t easy to deal with many kids, these teachers are all so kind to the kids. They have small groups with 2 or 3 teachers pero group which allows kids to have full attention on them. The Montessori education is very interesting because they teach my kids to clean their shoes, cut bananas, wash dishes and all those tasks that they need to learn for an everyday life, and they also learn numbers and colors very fast… they all love Fridays because they’re very fun too!
The discipline is something very valuable these days. They teach them values and to follow rules. This is so much more important than any maths kids can learn.
An important fact to me, is they’re very respectful with the various sorts of faith or religious practices we all may have, also they respect My daughters’ special diet, among others.
God bless all the teachers who teach with love and respect 🩷

My son started at 19 months and I credit this school for his discipline when it comes to sitting still and taking naps as scheduled. But it wasn't the right environment for him and we had to make the tough decision to remove him. My daughter started at 15 months and has ABSOLUTELY thrived in the Montessori environment. She is so excited to go to school everyday and loves the teachers. There is good communication between the administration and parents about the child's progress. The facility maintains a clean and safe environment. I would recommend for prospective parents, but keep in mind that your child has to be the right fit for the environment to progress and do well.

Hello everybody
I am very emotional because the graduation of my last child is coming soon and I can tell that I am so proud to be a Montessori mom.
Montessori Ivy League School means a lot in my family, both of my children studied there and they have made a big difference wherever we go. They are so polite, empathetic and respectful children. I have received a lot of congrats because of them. Even Today my primary doctor asked me where your child goes because she has been so respectfully waiting for you respecting the silence of a Doctor’s office, I feel so amazed. I am a mom who cares more about values and principles in life, of course I can tell and everybody knows that all Montessori kids are super smart, teachers work so hard and they are super open to work with parents, education is not only one side is both home and school. I sincerely recommend Montessori Ivy League school .

Great school, even though they expelled my son because he’s a little too aggressive. I wish we had more time to correct this but I guess it’s easier to replace us. Please see to it we get our refund, $1500 per month is no easy task.

My child use to go to this school, here my experience. Within 2 weeks my child started acting out at home, this is normal per se because my child is around other kids and see this. My child was happy going to school up until 2 weeks ag he would start bursting in tears not wanting to go, this week this school started complaining son is biting other kid I did a conference with this school yesterday they can’t provide any video evidence of what’s occurring to cause this, they aren’t watching the kids because if they were it wouldn’t get to a point where this would happen. When I enrolled my son in this school they bragged about small class settings but then advised me they have 30 kids in the class it’s hard to watch all the kids. Excuse me I was originally told this was a small class, RED FLAG. Then they stayed my child was biting kids on the slide, next lie hard to believe. My whole family knows my son is scared of heights especially slides. When I seen how my son interacted with the teacher at the conference my son was scared of her. Why is my son scared of a teachers he’s been with for 3 months. There are so many signs something is so wrong, these are 1 and 2 year old be for real what do you mean expel I told you my child won’t come back to this school because I feel some abuse is going on and your response is maybe he’s overstimulated by the 30 kids in the class well of course you all lied saying it’s a small class setting when I first enrolled to now your trying to have 1 years olds behave as if they have the full development to not get overstimulated. This is what I’ve noticed and I am saying look at the signs if your child behavior changes and they start back crying not wanting to go to school something is going on. My child is fearful of his teacher didn’t jumped back not wanting her to touch him. He doesn’t do any of the things you all claim at home. There’s a forum about this school where there’s complaints about things like this. This is my experience and what has happened.

My wife and I are very happy to have our daughter in this school. We are very proud of her progress. We moved from our country just a year and a half ago, and we have noticed how our daughter (4 years old) has already mastered the language, math, reading and other skills. Most importantly, she is happy to go to school and comes home sharing her classroom experiences. The staff is always kind to us and willing to clarify any questions. I highly recommend this school.

If you want to give your child the best experience in the Montessori system, which is very useful for kids nowadays you should come to Montessori. Only the good manners, intelligence, and clarity you can expect from this school. The school is equal for everyone, and my friends are happy too.

My daughter is in the 4 year old class! And yesterday we had an incident with a teacher! It should not be allowed under any circumstances for any teacher to physically abuse children!!!! Yesterday, watching the cameras in the classroom where my daughter is, we saw how she was pulled abruptly by the arm because she did not want to sit where the teacher told her!!!! I find this type of behavior unacceptable on the part of a teacher!!!! We had already seen other incidents with other similar children... I really do not recommend this place for you to take your children!!! When these types of things happen they tell you that you should talk to the main teacher of the classroom (but she never knows anything!!! Be careful they always cover each other!!!) And to talk to the director you have to make an appointment (a week to talk about an event as delicate as this) I really don't recommend this place at all!!! Unless they want their children to be mistreated...

If I could give this school and staff 10000 stars I would. I lived in Seattle for 15 years and met many kids that went to Montessori schools and before I even had a kid I wanted my child to goTo Montessori school. The staff here is so communicative. They constantly send pictures and texts to us all day when she is in class and a daily summary. Our daughter is only 20 months old and I am a Helicopter dad and very protective of her. I don’t even worry about her in this school or when I am not around.The security ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Teachers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Education ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Caring and attention to our child ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Cleanliness ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I could keep going but you get the point. Our second child will be born within the next year and we will be sending him or her here as well. Not one doubt.Thank you Montessori Ivy League
