OC Montessori Academy

"Exactly what my daughter needed. Ms Karen the director is so kind and genuinely loves children. Nice and clean, open space where the kids love to play under the trees but also a nice playground. I love their teaching method, very focused on independence but nurturing. The teachers are actively playing with the kids and having conversations during outdoor times which you don't always see in other daycares. I've toured many many daycares in this whole area and this is truly the best. Also, hot in house meals offered here. Thank you so much!"

"This school traumatized my 2 year old daughter. We just went here for 2 weeks and change her school as we can’t stand how they treat my child. My daughter felt very scared that he clings to her dad for the whole month. She would cried hard telling us about how her teacher was mad at her. And every time I picked her up she is alone and crying. She is a mommy’s girl before I sent her in this school. As a mom I felt terrible that I choose this school. They should have trained their staff well to care for the children. We filed a complaint but the school just played deft about it. No for this terrible school."

"I love my daughter going here. The school is great. She learns something new every day. Mrs. Karen is the best school director ever. My daughter's teachers are great teachers."

"I write this review to alert parents out there who might have the same situation I just have had at this school First need to read carefully about the advanced monthly payment policy as it is written misleading to me personally after all that would not reserve your privilege to get back your refund by the time you are not happy to continue to have your kids with them I have my little kid 5 years old enrolled at this school beginning of 8/2018. Paid 150$ for enrollment, 755$ for monthly fee and 40$ supply fee (80$ total but I paid only 40$ I told them I want to evaluate the school how my son would get along well By 8/20 they asked for the next month deposit of 765$ By 8/30 End the day I found my kid sat alone by a tree with some tiny scratches on his face and taped with an emergency bandage. And no one was around him. I asked the caregiver she said already alerted him not to climb the tree. (I am agreed at some point of kid playful characteristics) but I think it is an irresponsible respond somehow. I understand that the caregiver could not look at all the kids at once but I found my kid was left alone while they could gather and guide them all together under their supervision. I talked to my boy how well he was getting along with the school and with friends etc... he said he felt lonely in school and wanted to go back to the public school where he is already attended last year So I explained the situation with the office and quitted the school that day. No refund of my next monthly deposit given after all Tricky situation is school policy refund requests a 30 Days Written notice in advance To summarize to parents. It won’t work for me because it’s only the first month enrollment I would not even have the time to evaluate the school performance Besides that as if a sudden happening in life for long absences I am also locked up without any open option as school payment requesting 10 days paying in advance and the 30 days written notice so that not even a portion of payment will be refunded even in a case of unsatisfactory to quit the school for any reasonably causes"

"Love the staff and teachers here. I highly recommend OC Montessori Academy."
