Montessori of Chatsworth

There is not enough stars on Unilocal to show what I feel for Montessori of Chatsworth. They deserve at least 200 stars! My 7 ½ year old started there as a 2 year old. When I met Anna Erbe I knew right away that she had something special that no one else had. Her and her teachers had such a loving touch that I immediately felt so at ease to put my daughter there. When my second daughter came along there was no doubt that she would go there too. Unfortunately due to a death in the family and a relocation in housing my younger daughter who is 3 had to start going to a closer preschool to my work and new apartment. But I know at least for the last six years my children were in excellent hands. Read this review and start your kids at Montessori of Chatsworth. They will be your extended family and provide just what you need for your kids.

There is no better way to describe how good the staff is, other than by my son actually telling me «please take me to school all ready!» He has learned so much and developed as well. He has been attending since he was a baby and Miss Maria was his first teacher. Then he moved to Miss Angelica and Miss Hiam, then to Miss Anita and Miss Sabrina, now he is with Miss Sheryl. All the teachers have been great! Miss Ana is a great director who cares for each and every student, making sure that all the kids are in a comfortable environment, for them, the staff, and the parent’s peace of mind. As a plus, we like that all the rooms have video camaras. Finally we like the extra curricular activies that are provided such as music and dance, but also the ones that we can pay for like karate, soccer, basketball, etc. Thank you to all the staff for their hard work, for providing a safe and welcoming learning environment. To any parent looking for a school, Montessori of Chatsworth is a great place! Keep up the good work!

My son started going here three weeks ago and all I can say is that they are all amazing. They truly love their job and most of all love the kids so much. This is my first baby and I was stressed out of my mind to put him in day care but now I feel comfortable leaving him there. The director Ms Anna is wonderful, Ms Rushani and the teachers Ms Maria, Ms Heather, Ms Christy and team are so caring, fun and loving. My son loves Ms Maria so much. She is God send. God bless them all. They even have fun activities everyday and today they had horses at the school. I recommend this place strongly. Ps they are very efficient when it comes to responding to change in child’s health. They are trained and observant.

I absolutely love this school and the wonderful director’s. My only son started here when he was 2 ½ old we had a nanny since he was born and it was tough to find school where we felt safe and could trust anyone. If you’re looking for the right school «Montessori of Chatsworth» is the one. I am very thankful for the time my son has spent here and we are now moving on to big school in august truly will miss the staff and it’s been such a blessing to our family. Happy Mom :-)

I wish I could give more stars!
I now have my 3^rd child in this school and would recommend it to anyone!
As a parent, there is nothing more important than knowing your child is in good hands when youre unable to be with them. I came from a really bad private preschool with my daughter, switching when she was 3. I wish i had known of this school before, man would have saved me a lot of grief, and given my daughter an even better head start on Kindergarten. The staff are all incredible. Loving, warm and compassionate. Yet also structured and disciplined. Im partial to Heather, as she is the only person ive ever trusted with my babies outside of family. But have had many other fantastic teachers as they move up in age to different classes. If i cant have them with me, this is the only place i feel they belong.
Anna and Rushani in the office… theyre incredible. Highly recommend this school.

This school is wonderful and I would highly recommend it. We’ve been at the school for 3 years now (having been to 2 others previously) and with 3 kids aged 5, 4 & 1, I’ve experienced every classroom and almost every teacher. All of which are very nurturing, kind, patient and above all have a real talent for bringing out the best in our children. They truly love the kids and are able to tell you in detail about your child. You won’t get a standard «their day was good» answer. They will tell stories about how the child’s day was, who they played with, or if they are concerned about something. The academics are top notch. We have no doubt our kids are more than prepared for kindergarten. Starting at about 3.5 or 4 they give homework to those who want it and for those that don’t, they don’t push it. It’s completely up to you. But because they make learning such a positive experience, both of my older two love getting homework. Some of my favorite events during the year are the Holiday show and Spring show where the children sing and dance. And the songs sung aren’t your usual preschool songs. They are very creative and usually it revolves around a theme. This last holiday show was «Around the World». The kids sang in different languages and represented different countries. Mr. B is the music teacher who comes once a week and the kids all love him. The environment is clean, well maintained and secure. But what I love most about this school is that it feels like a community. The families care about each other and each other’s kids. It’s all due to the wonderful leadership of Ms. Anna and Ms. Rushani. They both have a love for the school, children and families and it shows in so many ways. My kids all love it here and have flourished under their care. I’m so thankful to have found this school.

I highly recommend this school. Mrs. Ana and her staff very patient and loving. They are helpful and attentive to the needs of the child and the parent. Our daughter attended Montessori of Chatsworth. During our time there, our daughter blossomed.
We can’t thank Mrs. Ana (Director) and Rashashini (Assistant Director) enough for all you have done and continue to do.
We miss you!!!

As a grandmother, and cargiver myself I knew what I wanted from a daycare/​preschool. I looked around the west San Fernando valley, and was more than pleased when I came across (Canyon Vista) now known as Montessori of Chatsworth. I was able to tour the school at any time. A very clean and safe atmosphere. The teachers and staff have all been very caring, and assist for those potty training. My granddaughter at 2 years old, was ready to learn, yet very shy. The staff was very patient not only with my baby, but myself since I wasn’t ready to let go. It has been over 8 years, and we have now enrolled 6 more grandchildren, with more coming. My older grandkids love to go visit what they like to call «our preschool». They are greated well and love to see Ms. Anna and their teachers. My grandchildren are doing very well in grade school and show confidence in them selves, they have learned much more than academics in this school. I currently have one grandson enrolled, and will recommend this school so as long as Ms. ANNA remains.

When I had to go back to work, the hardest part was finding somewhere I wanted to leave my 4month old daughter. I live in calabasas so if course I stopped in to both of the montessori’s there, which I didn’t get the warmest welcome from. I mean they were nice, but one school didn’t call me back until my third phone call and the other seemed a bit disorganized (not to mention their tuition was just $ 500 more than anything in the entire valley) After sifting through 30 places of which I found 4 acceptable infant cares I ended up going with Oakridge Preschool because Montessori of Chatsworth was full. After an unexpected and horrifically unprofessional incident a couple weeks later… I went over to Montessori of chatsworth. This time desperate having already started work and KNOWING I didn’t find anywhere else I would take my daughter in the valley, I went back over and talked to Ms. Anna told her everything and she said she would see what she could do.
Since that day I couldn’t be happier and neither could my daughter. I could not have imagined someone loving my daughter like I do, but know I have an entire school of teachers! Not to mention always hearing the different science, Spanish, music, and other extra teachers and activities they have for the kids as they grow. The cute pictures and presents they put together for the holidays and a genuinely HAPPY BABY. I love this school:)

We absolutely love Montessori of Chatsworth. Their staff is amazing. Ms. Anne and her team are nurturing, loving and all around amazing. My 3 year old daughter is learning so much. They run a structured classroom experience and have there dun as well. All the extra enrichment programs that are included add a great plus to the academic part of preschool. Spanish classes, music, dance. The facility is so safe, one way in one way out. we are so happy to be part of MoC. So happy to be part of the MoC family.

We love this school and my 2 children both have attended. My daughter (now 6) still talks if how amazing Ms. Marisol their kindergarten teacher is. My son is in their preschool class and wishes there was school on weekends. But despite all the fun-​they are a school with structured days and real classroom learning. Which the kids love, and I admire.

My husband and I searched over a dozen preschools until we found Montessori of Chatsworth, previously Canyon Vista, and met Ms. Anna and the fantastic teachers and staff. Leaving your child with complete strangers for the 1^st time was nerve-​racking and I can’t tell you enough how much the teachers comforted my son (and me) during this transition. My son has since moved on to Kinder and my daughter has started Preschool for a year now.
Ms. Anna is professional, caring, person and the teachers and staff fall are just the same. They really care for your children ensuring that they are safe, are learning and continue to challenge them and are having fun. I can’t say enough about the professional caring wonderful staff. I feel 100% comfortable that they took and are taking great care of my children.
The facilities are very nice, maintained, clean — plenty of room for the children. The playground is big, shaded, complete with a baby room, toddler room, library, full kitchen, everything that you could possibly want for your children’s 1^st school experience.
When my son graduated from this school, he was more than prepared for Kinder. He understood how to follow instructions, get along with children, problem solve, all the necessary academics required.
I would HIGHLY recommend this preschool to any family or friends looking for a safe, caring, clean, academic school to put their kids in.

This was my first time going to pick up my god kids and it was a really nice facility. It was near a private residence, but they still had place to park. It really looked nice and clean. Right when I walked in they greeted me, but they had a pad lock right when I walked in. Also to get in you needed to do a double handle system with one on top and the other on the bottom. That made me feel secure so no little ones would run out.
They have a nice playground outside and they had a nice set of classrooms. They teachers seemed pretty friendly too. I like it a lot!

My son used to attend here. We are very happy and proud we enrolled our son when he was three. He learnt quite alot with alot of enthusiasm, thanks to his teachers. The director in this school is very warm and makes the whole school feel like a little community. Thank you teachers for a job well done in making my son at his best.
