Countryside Montessori Academy 2266 Griffin Way, Corona, CA 92879

"I love everything about this school. The environment, the kids, the staff from the owner, director & teachers. My daughter started in the school year 2020 & staying for another year until she finished kindergarten. She used to be a very shy type little girl but with the help of this school, she's now starting to come out of her shell. Talkative & knows how to socialize. We are grateful & highly recommend it for your precious little ones."

"I really love Countryside Montessori Academy. My daughter (now 11yrs old) attended this school and Now my son (5yrs old) attends Montessori. I am really happy with all the staff, teachers, and administration. Most importantly, I can see how my kids learned/learning not just about educational skills but also about their social skills."

"I am so grateful that I found this school. My son was kept at home during the COVID pandemic/quarentine and did not start school until Fall 2021 for the first time at age 4. I was worried that the delay would stunt socialization and he would be behind on some of the fundamentals. I was very apprehensive and critical while touring other schools but was immediately impressed upon visiting Countryside Montessori Academy. Everything was systematic, organized, and the classrooms were meticulous. Myself, my husband, and most importantly my child were comfortable and sensed a calm but exciting new learning environment. My son has thrived at this institution and will continue here for as long as possible. He genuinely loves learning now, has made wonderful friends, and asks when can he go back to school on the weekends. Ms. Natalie Maldonado (Director) is a fantastic conductor of all things front and center for this organization, as well as the limitless tasks behind the scenes. I trust her and the teachers with my child's safety and education. I am fortunate that I have my child enrolled in a school that instills confidence in their level of sincere concern and devout care."

"I have so much gratitude to everyone at Countryside Montessori school from the teacher to the administrative staff. All are blessings to the success of my child's growth and academic success. They're always willing to give that extra 10% my child needs. If I can give 10 star's I would."

"PLEASE DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD IN THIS SCHOOL. YOU RISK THEM BEING DIMISSED FOR ANY REASON, EVEN IF IT ISNT A GOOD REASON. THEY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST CHILDREN THAT HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS. SHE DOESNT EVEN ACTUALLY HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS! SHE IS A NORMAL THREE YEAR OLD WHO MIGHT LAY ON THE FLOOR WHEN TIRED OR WHEN BORED! They just seemed to put it back on me that she needed more one on one care. What kind of school and daycare does not address these issues with the parent throughout the week? I got daily reports from her classroom teacher and not once was I told there was an issue. I was blindsided by the director who "observed her all week" and just told she was not able to come back on a Friday when she was picked up. She does not need one on one care, she was just too difficult for them to want to deal with. That is so upsetting to do to a parent. I was not given a choice. I was totally caught off guard. I was so upset I cried and the director did not seem to care. They have the right to do whatever they want but this is not how the matter should have been handled. Natalie is a very unprofessional director and I very much would appreciated a better approach to this situation. Take accountability for the fact that you don't want to deal with our child. What was done was very manipulative to put it back on me. What do I think? I think your school is discriminating against my child! After one week of enrollment I was completely blindsided by the assistant director Natalie. She told me that our child, who's is 3 was no longer able to go to that school because she was laying on the floor too much! She had only been there a week! She is being discriminated against for the weakest reason ever. I am furious and very dissatisfied with this school. We were also told we wouldn't get all of our money back which was $150 for registration."
