We had a great experience at Heritage Montessori! Lily felt comfortable, built good friends, improved her social skills and learned from her time there. The staff were very helpful and respectful. Ms. Michelle was great! Thank you for taking care of Lily, the last couple of years!

PLEASE ALIGN SPRING BREAK WITH SADDLEBACK UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT SPRING BREAK (HMS Lake Forest). Currently, it is the week prior to SVUSD. Please consider this in all future years when calendar planning. Thank you.

We have been so impressed with the transformation in our child since joining Heritage Montessori. It’s not just about academics; the school focuses on the whole child. We love seeing how our daughter has developed a genuine sense of responsibility and independence. The teachers are incredibly observant and seem to know exactly when to step back and when to provide guidance. It’s a peaceful, nurturing environment that truly honors the Montessori method

We love Heritage Montessori Lake Forest! It's a beautiful, clean and creative campus and the staff are all very kind, organized and have helped our daughter grow tremendously. They truly help teach kids to stay healthy with washing hands, I never see a kid with a snotty nose, and they have such top notch academics in the Montessori style. Our daughter at age two told us about learning about "Nelson" - as in Nelson Mandela for history one month, and has also thrived in her coloring skills, hand coordination and language/speech. We've seen our daughter feel nurtured, encouraged and cared for since her time in Class 2 and seen her grow in confidence since her time in Class 3, where her creative side and friendships have truly blossomed. We love how great and frequent the communication is from the preschool director - photos and videos - as well as the fun parties/events for kids and families. The open houses and consistent communication with teachers is much appreciated so we can see what our daughter has been learning and how she's been doing.

I’m my experience, receiving good communication is hard to execute. I’ve had a great communication experience with this school. That speaks volumes to me and the level of importance and expectations the school staff has to family involvement for our children.

The teachers and staff. The ease of getting responses from the front office, whether it be a simple question or needing detailed info. We love all the kids ‘parties’ for different holidays/times of the year and to be able to spend an hour with them and meet their friend’s parents.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Heritage Montessori School! Our son, Monse, attends this wonderful school, and it’s been such a joy to see him thrive there. From the moment he started, we noticed how happy he is—always eager to share stories about his day and the friends he’s made. The Montessori program has been a perfect fit for him, fostering his love for independent play and hands-on, practical learning. It’s amazing to watch how much he’s grown in such a nurturing environment. We’re truly grateful for the dedicated staff and the thoughtful approach that make Heritage Montessori so special. Highly recommend it to any family looking for a place where their child can flourish!
