Evergreen Montessori Preschool

"After having a line-up of nannies we decided that we needed more structure, stability, and peer interaction. We visited many daycares in our area, and we settled on Evergreen Montessori on YB. Since attending, my daughter has sung a lot more songs, created wonderful keepsake art, and made a lot of friends. The staff is stellar, and I truly can see the care and concern each has for my daughter. The staff watches my daughter closely and aligns with her interests. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Evergreen Montessori on YB. We look forward to watching our daughter blossom."

"Our first son went there from June 2015 to August 2018. He went to all three classes at Yerba Buena, Willow, Maple, and Birch. Later, he went to KG at Silver Oak. He was ready for school, anf few weeks later, he is reading story books. He was reading small words and solving additions and subtractions at Pre-K. Now, we are trying to repeat with the next son, who has been there since he turned1.5 years old. One great thing about this school is that they listen to parents."

"We are very happy with 2 years class, our daughter is happy with the school and teachers, she loves them. And the school have a good curriculum and the school are ver clean."

"I am truly grateful to have found and be apart of the Evergreen Montessori community/family. My son has has been attending EMS since he was 18 months and started out in the Willow Classroom. My first impressions when I toured the facility was its friendliness, cleanliness, location, and security- in that order. I met with the director and the staff who would be interacting with my son and immediately felt comfortable. They were all so friendly and appeared to enjoy being around and with the children. I was very, very impressed on how clean the facility is both inside and outside. Inside the classrooms are nicely tucked tasks/activities (what they call “work”) that is placed on top of a rug that the children learn to roll and unroll. Their play yard is also very clean and spacious for the kids to roam around on their bikes, go up-and-down the slide, or into the playhouse. There also is NO trash! In fact, one one occasion something has spilled out of someone’s car when I noticed that the director was cleaning it up. In addition, as I was touring EMS one of the seller points for me was its location. EMS has three locations but we are the most familiar with the Yerba Buena campus. It’s a 5 minute drive from our home so God-forbid there should be an emergency we are just a skip away. Lastly, when you drive in there is a security check-point. The security guards there roam around the campus which makes any parent feel at ease knowing that their children are in safe hands. Above all, I am really pleased with Evergreen Montessori because when my son was first diagnosed with speech delay, we felt so helpless. I brought my concerns to the director and she was willing to work with us. She assured us that the lead teacher and staff would be aware of my sons circumstance and we sat down in several meetings creating goals and a “plan of action” on how to encourage and cultivate an environment that would produce more talking, socialization, and expressive language in the classroom. I also brought in a private SLP and again, EMS was very cooperative and was on the same page working towards the betterment of my son and his speech. The director is very motivated and willing to help out families who need a little extra attention and will meet their needs. Another thing, my family and I really enjoy about EMS is their celebrations. We had the opportunity to participate in their Diwali (celebration of lights) party, Winter and Spring celebration etc. I love the diversity and camaraderie that is shared within the EMS community as my son has made many friends while being there, and I as a parent have also made lasting friendships with the mothers at EMS."
