Our two kids love going to school. They’re always excited to show us what they’ve done that day and we’ve seen exponential growth in both of them.

We absolutely love this school! The staff know our kids so well and truly feel like family. They prepared my now kindergartener wonderfully for Esencia elementary school, and are doing the same for our second child who is currently enrolled now. Ms. Tamara makes you feel so welcomed from the second you step foot in the school. Can’t recommend them enough!

We love that’s the staff is so friendly! It’s safe and welcoming and our daughter has learned so much this year. We love her teacher, Ms Kevonna. Just a great experience all around.

It’s difficult to adequately express our gratitude and appreciation for MOTR! From the facility, to the philosophy and the faculty, it’s clear how much love and attention goes into every detail!

We love the independence factor. Letting our kid learn to himself with proper guidance and patience. The teacher(s) seem great and our kid sees to love being there! The updates are nice as well.

How welcoming they’ve made my daughter feel, how they speak to her (18 months old) like she’s fully capable of anything and everything.

I wish this Montessori went to 6th Grade!! We are having such a hard time picking a Kindergarten for Kennedy, because I compare all of the schools we look at to the Montessori. Big shout out to Ms Michelle (P3) Ms Brooke (P3) Ms Hannah (P3), Kennedy took her Kindergarten Assessment test and did very well. So many above average scores!! The Montessori is absolutely preparing her for the next step. We are so happy we kept her there instead of utilizing a “TK”. Thank you!! - Monica Molloy Akers

The teachers and staffs are so nice and supportive. I love getting the updates and photos to make myself feel better that my baby is doing well and enjoying the class.

Very welcoming & friendly. Ms Abby and Ms Maddie are already bonded with our son. He asks about them regularly after school and on weekends. We couldn’t be happier!

We are relatively new to the Montessori on the Ranch family and from the first monument we walked through the doors we have felt welcomed. Warm smiles greet us daily, all of our questions have been answered and we are always kept up to date about all the happenings. Our daughters teacher has been so caring, comforting and patient as she transitions to school.

We have our two kids at Montessori on the Ranch. One started with Ms Marisol and moved on to Ms Jennifer while our other has had Ms Jennifer for two school years. They’ve thrived and grown so much and absolutely love their teachers. If you’re looking for A great place to start your kids education and growth this is the place.

The teachers and curriculum.

Michelle and Hannah (primary 3) as well as school administrators Tamara and Tia are doing an excellent job. I would say that they are some of the best early childhood education employees in Orange County (if not California)! The classroom environment is welcoming, well cared for, and clean. The kids all seem happy and look forward to being there. The curriculum is what is expected for a Montessori, and Kennedy is enjoying her “letter work” and circle time. She regularly discusses her experiences and she loves her teachers and school (she especially loves the new playhouse in the play yard and Mr. E’s music class, and summer water days!) Happy Kennedy = Happy Mom!!!

We love how friendly all the teachers and staff members are. Everyone is so welcoming and caring as soon as we walk through the front doors. Also, I feel like our child has learned so much for only being there for 4 months so far!

Great experience. I've already recommended it to others.

Our boys have truly flourished at this school. My older son went into Kindergarten with a strong foundation and did really well. Our younger son has gone through so much development. Truly wonderful community, teachers and administrators.
