Lemon Tree Montessori 2083 Montecito Avenue, Mountain View, CA 94043

"We had a wonderful experience with Mrs. Gracie at Lemont Tree Montessori. Our son learned a lot of practical skills, the basics to be ready for academics, the joy of being in charge, the beauty of sharing with friends, the love for animals, and the pleasure of reading a book in a quiet corner. We always felt welcomed, involved, and heard by Mrs. Gracie. She offers a true Montessori environment and we are amazed every day by the skills our son developed. This place is full of warmth, love, smartness, and respect. The setting is beautiful and makes you feel as if you were home. Mrs. Gracie is using a fabulous application to follow up with your child's development and sends pictures every day with the skills approached. Mrs. Gracie had our full trust since day one. We knew exactly what we wanted for your baby, and we found it with Mrs. Gracie. Caroline, Julien and Anton."

"My family is incredibly fortunate to have found Teacher Gracie and Lemon Tree Montessori. Although we had planned on keeping our child at home for his first few years, things changed and we could also see our son craving new interactions and experiences. We were very hesitant and concerned about sending him to daycare especially in the COVID era and didn’t love other daycares and schools we toured. Our worries melted away from the minute we found Gracie. Gracie is extremely diligent and dedicated to her families and the Montessori way. Right away, she put us all at ease and guided us through the introduction process and let us know what to expect from the first few weeks. She made a tough process as smooth and gentle as possible. She provided timely updates and sound advice. We knew we could trust her 100% with the care of our child. Gracie provides her children with an environment that is calm, safe, and happy. There are many activities provided to develop different parts of a person and personality. They are taught about respect for the world, environment, and animals. She truly respects each child as an individual and helps them build their confidence and independence. We felt the genuine love and care she had for our son. She also takes extra time with parents to let them know how each child is doing, and is available for guidance as babies and toddlers quickly change. She participates in continuous education so she can provide the best care. I couldn’t recommend her more! We are forever grateful to Gracie and Lemon Tree and will treasure our time there. She has left a lasting impression on our hearts."

"I decided early on with my first child that I wanted to follow Montessori principles to allow her to grow at her own pace and be able to make her own choices in a curated environment. So for me it was very important that she be able to attend a program with those values in mind. I could not imagine at the time what good fortune it was to have been introduced to Teacher Gracie and Lemon Tree Montessori. Lemon Tree is a warm and inviting place where my daughter (and now son) has grown into her confidence. Teacher Gracie is a wonderful, kind and patient teacher-both to the children and to us parents. She embodies the essence of what it is to be a true guide and has left an imprint of kindness and grace on our growing family."
