"Our boys have been attending Westpark Montessori since they were 2 years old, and we cannot imagine where we would be without this community. Westpark Montessori and now Village Montessori for our oldest son, have continued to create an environment that challenges and encourages our boys in ways beyond what we knew how to. The focus is on the child and that is witnessed in many ways other than just following the Montessori method including: the low student to staff ratio, the biannual assessments for each child in their developmental journey, and at the end of the school year, the teachers gift each family a beautiful memory book of the child’s journey including pictures of the child, their art- all personalized for each child. This school has surpassed our expectations and the staff has become part of our family. The teachers, the assistants, the Directors and the owners truly care about the children and know how important of a role each conversation, each lesson, and each smile makes in our children’s lives. Our family is forever grateful that we found a home with the Westpark and Village branch of Montessori Schools of Irvine."

"For the past five years, I have had both of my boys attending the Montessori Schools of Irvine program. We have been fortunate to attend the University, Westpark and Village campuses. Every educator we have interacted with at the Montessori Schools of Irvine family has been amazing. You can tell this by the way your child is greeted each day with a warm smile and small chit chat as they arrive at school. Every teacher knows your child, as they have the opportunity to interact with them during the school day, after school play, nap times, early morning circles or playtime in the atrium. Each hand-selected teacher by the Director Ms. Cheryll truly has your child’s best interest at heart.The curriculum and methodology that is used at each grade level is superior to none. You will value each of the lessons and jobs your child has the opportunity to work with as they progress through the program. Each task they perform has multi-levels of learning. Each week your child will come home with stacks of paper they have worked on during the school day. As you look over their work; your child will guide you through their day at school. Your child will become an independent learner and will gauge problem-solving. They say “it takes a village to raise a child,” Montessori Schools of Irvine is that village."

Our family has been part of the Irvine Montessori School system for the past four years. With Ms. Pennee’s leadership there is no other school I would recommend than this one. Ms. Cheryl and Mr. Richard hand select some of the finest teachers for their schools. Many of the teachers in the Irvine Montessori family have been there for years. This speaks volumes for the leadership of the Directors at each school and for the way Ms. Cheryll and Mr. Richard treat them. Each week I have witnessed all the head teachers getting together in Ms. Pennee’s office for a staff meeting. As a parent it makes me feel good, they are collaborating their efforts to better my child’s education. When you walk through school there is a sense of calmness and my child feels they are at home. All the teachers truly love your child. It’s the way they talk to them, know them by name, giving them hugs, cheer them on when they excel and most importantly make them feel welcome. If you are looking for a place your child will flourish, then this is the place!
