Montessori Academy of Upland 934 North Mountain Avenue, Upland, CA 91786

"Not the place for a rambunctious child still trying to navigate relating to others. My son has attended school here for nearly two years, after transitioning to a new class at the request of the school and agreeing because we are team players, my son made a rapid 180 in behavior. His new teachers did not have the best class management skills and would tell him things like "act like a peaceful mountain" and pretend to call Santa to tell him he was bad. Given my son has misbehaved and I do not condone his actions but over the course of 5 months he became the focus of negative attention from his teacher, I'd receive hysterical calls about his behavior and disappointment when I didn't overreact. We switched him back to his old class but again problems persisted. At one point I was told by administrative staff if he doesn't get it at 4 he'll struggle the rest of his life. Needless to say we've been asked to leave, my son still can't comprehend why. Even on his last day they couldn't manage to have his items in order or to reconcile our account credits. (Kinda funny after being asked to leave.)If you have a sweet, quiet well behaved child this is the spot, otherwise consider an alternative. This is not the place for you, I promise."

"Fantastic learning environment for our three boys. The teachers and staff are kind, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. They really care about each child. We absolutely love this school."
