OC Montessori Academy

I took my child out after an unannounced visit during lunch time… Be careful… Look elsewhere.
Director is defensive and has tagged my review with a comment (see below). I have waited for over 2 years to put a review to keep my anonymity. I have never forgotten my child’s experience with OC Montessori Academy and it still pains me to this day.
Please take heed of negative reviews rather than be tempted by positive ones.

I’m so happy and thankful I found this place!!! First off, my rambunctious 3 year loves going to school everyday. I’m so amazed to see how much he’s grown within the past 6 months that he’s been attending this school. His teachers, Ms. Parker & Ms. Nikki are so caring and loving towards the children. Ms. Robyn, whom is the school’s Director is so personable and welcoming to the students and parents as well. The cost of tuition is reasonable and competitive within the area. I highly recommend this school to all families with young children!

Always take your time when choosing the right school for your child/​children.

Let me first start off by saying I’ve visited 7 local schools in the surrounding area before we decided on Oc Montessori Academy. I called a few times but they never received my messages. I found it odd so we decided to drop by the school unannounced.
The director, Krista was really sweet and showed us around even though we didn’t have an appointment. Our son loved the school. He had just turned two. He didn’t want to go home after the tour was over. The director gave me the option of sitting in a class before committing to anything. This made me feel so much better. It’s tough leaving your child with a stranger.
The first day he was a little clingy but was very curious of his surroundings. Ms. Le had a very thick vietnamese accent and worried me for a minute. I was concerned that my child’s first words would be with a vietnamese accent. That wasn’t the case. After being in Ms. Le’s class for 4 weeks my son was about to count to ten, he knew most of his colors and could sing his abc’s. It was amazing. She taught him everything I was trying to teach him for months. Every time I stop by unannounced she’s feeding him or changing his diaper. She really cares about her kids. She sings to them if they can’t nap. She’s so good with him. After a few months of school my son told me he loved Ms. Le. It made me so happy to know that he is in good hands. She changes his diaper every hour. She remembers every little detail of each child. Every time I pick him up she gives me a report of how much he ate and how many times he went to the bathroom. I tell this to every parent I know, you can’t get better care for your child than the staff at Oc Montessori Academy.
It’s been one year since we started and my son has moved to the next class. Ms. Le still comes by to check on him. His new teacher Ms. Parker is also very sweet. She’s very good about making sure my son becomes independent. He’s now three. Ms. Parker has taught him all his shapes, more phonics, lefts and rights, days and months.
I honestly can’t say enough about how wonderful this school is. It’s amazing how much growth and independence my son has shown in one year. Education is very important to me and I am so happy I chose this school for my son.
