Teachers and administration really care about the students. It really feel like a family environment. The facilities are outstanding - new and well maintained. The outdoor area is unparalleled.

The staff is amazing! My daughter is in Ms. Bianca, Ms. Mackenzie and Ms. Penelope class and looks forward to school every morning. Her reading, vocabulary and social skills has increased since her enrollment 6-months ago. She’s created friendships in and out of the class. One of my favorite experiences was the Christmas performance!

My daughter has been in Ms. Mahnaz’s class for the last 2 years, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s kind, caring, and an amazing teacher! She truly cares about every child and treats them so well. My daughter is 4.5 and knows how to read/write 3 letter words, addition, subtraction, she’s completely ready for kindergarten. Ms Anahi is also wonderful with my child and we truly appreciate them both. All staff members are very kind and welcoming. Ms Michelle is amazing! We love the school.

My daughter has been attending Spectrum Montessori at Portola for about a year and a half, and we’ve had a great experience. We especially appreciate Ms. Mahnaz, Ms. Anahi, and Ms. Michelle—they are wonderful with the kids and always kind and supportive. Honestly, everyone there has been friendly and helpful, and it’s been a really positive environment for our daughter.

The teachers and staff are kind and take the time to get to know the families and children. Their kindness and attentiveness give us confidence and comfort each day knowing that our children are well taken care of.

Leaning to how make friends and engage other children is a valuable life skill. Spectrum Montessori does a fantastic job promoting kids to make friends on their own. This goes beyond play based learning where kids socialize in a supervised platform. On thr academic side the Transitional Kindergarten program exceeds the IUSD kindergarten standards. The kids are easily able to count well into the 100s, are doing 3 digit addition, and are able to spell simple words. To my surprise, the kids even were able to read a few street names.

My daughter is so clearly loved, cared for, supported, and TAUGHT extremely effectively. My daughter's speech, independence, and social skills have skyrocketed every since she started at Spectrum Montessori. Lastly, the teachers really are SO kind and loving yet firm and consistent. I wouldn't want my daughter in any other preschool.

My two year old went from 3 word phrases to full blown sentences, questioning things, understanding her emotions better, and she academically is doing amazing. She’s learning the write and read and has already started with math.

I really love the dedicated teachers and their assistants, who demonstrate compassion and empathy everyday and it is great to see various styles of pedagogy being used to help individual kids and on a group level. A very big shout out to all the staff, teachers, and assistant teachers! Thank you for taking care of our future generations and for all that you do.
