School Reviews

Sending our daughter to Millbrae Montessori is one of the best decisions that we have taken throughout our stay on the Peninsula. Our daughter has been here for nearly two years and we have seen her grow as a person, learn and build confidence in herself. Both my wife and I have nothing but gratitude for the teachers here. Here are some things I would highlight.- Teachers with vast experience: Miss Perry has been leading Millbrae Montessori for nearly 40 years and is the kindest, most passionate, and most incredible teacher you would ever get. She, along with Miss Nicolle and all the other teachers is just the best set of teachers you want for your kids at this age. Kids love them, they help impart life skills and also help gain confidence. Our daughter loves all the teachers and loves to be at the school every day- Diversity: Our daughter has learned from a diverse set of teachers and students. The teachers encourage learning multiple languages, and celebrating different festivals and that has been such an amazing experience- Focus on learning by doing- Extracurricular - Kids get to do plays, go for fun short trips, participate in festivities, and field visits which help them grow every day- Regular feedback - The teachers are always willing to share regular feedback- Warmth- Last but not the least, we have been blessed that the teachers here offer warmth to all the kids. For kids this age, it is their home away from home. The school and the teachers go that extra mile to make the child feel that they are loved and are in a safe space. I could go on and on but would just summarize by saying that this is the best preschool environment that you can offer your child. Thank you, Millbrae Montessori.
