"Mission Montessori on the Desert is a fantastic school! All 3 of our children started in the preschool program and thrived! We have 2 girls and 1 boy, each child has a unique personality, and different needs and strengths. Mission Montessori was an excellent choice for all of my children because the teachers allow the children to be independent. My children learned at their own pace, when they were interested in a topic (this is called a sensitive period), and with an appropriate amount of structure. My oldest is in 6th grade now and is still thriving! My younger children are in 3rd and 1st grade, sharing the same classroom, on the lower elementary classroom and thriving as well. Many people have a misconception that children in a Montessori school are wandering around all day. I can assure you, that is not the case. There is a purpose to everything the children do, even though many times the children (and even the parents) are unaware. For example, in preschool, the children learn fine motor skills but cutting and pasting pieces of paper, sewing large buttons to make bracelets, etc. They learn large motor skills by washing windows and chairs. Each of these "works" is taught and is executed in a way that children learn to setup, follow simple steps, do things in order from left to right (since we read left to right), and cleanup. The beauty of all of this is the children independently select the work they want to do from the large variety of options. So they are interested in the work they are doing and are learning in the process. When they reach kindergarten age, the children have workplans and they must complete academic work (math and language) before they move onto other works in the classroom. But the children select the order in which they complete the academic work, so they maintain their independence. If a child is ever struggling on how to proceed, the teacher will make appropriate suggestions. In addition to the classroom work, the children have gardening where they learn about natures and planting with thoughtful lessons and hands-on work (the children plant and harvest the garden.) This is our 8th year at Mission Montessori and I am still amazed each time I am in the classroom at how focused the children are and how much they quietly collaborate with each other. The older children take pride in helping the younger children. The teachers are caring, dedicated, knowledgable, and simply phenomenal. Each of my children is different and it was absolutely the right choice for all of them. They all excel in math and language and have a love of learning."

"Our experiences with Montessori of University Village have been exceptional from the beginning of the enrollment process to the current day. Director and teachers are professional, kind, and attentive. We are greeted with a warm welcome and smile every morning. Our children are having a great time learning and becoming great individuals. It is nice that the play areas are accessible from every classroom and are fenced in. We are happy we found M of UV."

"The Early Years Academy was a wonderful experience. My children attended there for 3.5 years. The staff and management were very attentive, communicative, and constantly planned activities and structure for the kids in a fun and educational way. The staff showed endless love to my kids and knew their personalities as if they were family."

"I've had 2 kids attend this campus and had wonderful experiences with both. I'll be sending my 3 year old in the fall! It's a supportive, kind, personalized, enriched atmosphere where my kids are able to grow their love of learning and friendships. I'm so grateful to have the foundation of a Montessori beginning to our children's education!"
