Our daughter has been attending the full-time program since she was 2. She is pleased there, and so are we. Using the Montessori method, the academic curriculum is accurate, and our daughter excels wonderfully at her age. We are a multi-lingual family, and they do an excellent job teaching in other languages. The director and staff are professional and caring, delicately meeting our child's needs. The team communicates well, welcomes feedback, and always aims to improve. The classrooms are spotless, with cleaning crews cleaning daily. We also want to add that we have found it the best value overall compared to similar schools in the area.

I've had my son at this school since June 2022. Firstly, the location and classrooms are fantastic. The entrance is secure, and the sign-in/out process is accessible on devices. Their outside area is gated and faces away from the street, so it also feels very safe. Secondly, the staff are attentive. Outside the classroom, the director or owner communicates quickly and directly. The teachers are excellent inside the school, and they enjoy their job. They have plenty of fun activities for the kids and exciting special events! The primary teachers have stayed consistent, which is excellent for the kids. Our family loves this school. I can't thank them enough for all they do!

I love this school! My son has been coming here since he was two, and now he's four and a half, and we're on to elementary for fall. I am genuinely sad for him to leave this excellent, nurturing, warm environment. The admin is helpful and responsive and cares about the kids there. They want to see your kid flourish. The teachers are incredible and have a unique way with students; my son responds to their teaching style and kind hearts. As a parent, I know it's hard to trust people with your kids, and in today's world, it's scary. But that's what I love about this school. I genuinely trust this team with the most precious people in my life, and I'm incredibly grateful to have found them. We'll be back next year when my second turns two!

My Princess Natalie will miss you! The staff will forever hold a loving place in my heart. The peace of mind they gave me every day was worth every dollar. My baby will not stop talking about how fantastic this team is on our rides home after school. I happily say that I was very pleased with every answer from my little child. Trust me, she tells me everything! So when I tell you she loved it here, she did. My baby has moved on to our local elementary school, and she always refers to Montessori Academy of Chino as the pretty school that I used to go to. I am so grateful to this school and its caring staff. Even when my daughter did not attend other staff members' classes, they knew her name and were so loving! She always felt so special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My daughter has been here since the Summer of 2020. The director is constantly updating parents on new things going on. Communication with them is fantastic, and they always take precautions with everything. They update parents on the cleaning and disinfecting process and upcoming events or activities and share pictures of the kids on special occasions. The teachers are super friendly, and my daughter enjoys being here. They keep the kids busy with different activities. It's a great place to have your child start early with education and being around other kids. They helped my child improve her speech; she potty trained and developed excellent social skills. I love picking my daughter up at the end of the day, knowing she's learning in a great environment.

Happy Dad here! I've had my daughter at this school for the last six months, and there are a few things I love: Everyone here is so awesome; I love how they care about the child's experience and make everything easy for parents with email reminders, schedules, bill pay, etc. This location is safe with gates, access control coded entry, a security system, and more. They had a cute little holiday performance, and the kids loved it! I feel fortunate to have found this school. The Director cares about how my daughter adapts, learns, and enjoys her time there. If you're looking for a school for your child, I highly recommend the Montessori Academy of Chino!

I loved this school. My son learned to read with minimal help in just a few months! He was learning side by side with kindergarten and first-grade students. I believe this helped all students, not just the younger ones because the older kids could learn by teaching the younger students. The teach-back method reinforces learning substantially. We moved away, and I miss this school dearly. They were ""our angels."" I picked this school because the hours were a good fit for my hectic work hours. However, my son benefited more than I could have dreamed of, and I am so glad that I needed the help and chose this academy. I have never left a review before, but this was needed. I hope it helps another parent out there.
