Empire Montessori Preschool - Willow Glen

Empire Montessori has been great for my son. The Director, Ms. Mei, accepted him on such a short notice when he turned 2. He has been thriving at Empire. I am grateful for all the staff and teachers. The facility is always clean and has ample space! I wish my son would have started here when he was younger. I would highly recommend Empire Montessori.

We are so extremely grateful for this school. They took amazing care of our son the past couple of years and we will miss them dearly. The outdoor play area is amazing and the classrooms are large, bright and full of fun things for the kids. The hallway currently has a large tree on the wall full of pictures and every day my son loves to look at it and point himself out as well as his friends. The teachers are so loving and truly take great care of the kids. They provide food, helped us navigate potty training and even gave us tips for other issues such as thumb sucking. Most important is that they love on the kids and help them grow. Miss Mei is fantastic and always makes sure there are fun big events for the kids as well as constant art projects and things for them to bring home. From the bottom of our hearts we will always be grateful to you all for taking such good care of our kids and setting them up to succeed.

Both our children have attended, the staff has been fantastic, and Ms. Mei, the director, has been an absolute pleasure our entire time here. Would highly recommend them to any families looking for a safe and caring location for their little ones.

I had an overall good experience. I loved that they celebrated all festivals and involved kids in different kind of activities. They sent my kid with their daily art or craft work done and I liked that they had a letter of the week where kids shared their toys with each other. Ms. Mei was good answering any questions we had. The only thing I didn’t like was they didn’t have their kitchen and their food menu was kinda same every week.

I am immensely grateful for the exceptional educators at Empire Montessori in Willow Glen, who have had a profound impact on my daughter's educational journey. From her initial days in Room 4 under the guidance of the nurturing Ms. Selena to her transition to Room 1, where she flourished under the care of both Ms. Manjeet and Ms. Krystal, every step of her learning experience has been enriched by dedicated and passionate teachers. In addition to the wonderful classroom teachers, I must also commend Ms. Mei, the school director, for her outstanding leadership and unwavering commitment to creating a supportive and enriching learning environment. Under Ms. Mei's guidance, Empire School has become a beacon of excellence in education, fostering a culture of inclusivity and academic excellence. The commitment and expertise displayed by these educators, including Ms. Mei, have not only fostered academic growth but have also instilled in my daughter a sense of independence that extends beyond the classroom. The skills and knowledge she acquires at Empire School have empowered her to take initiative and demonstrate self-reliance in various aspects of her life at home. I would highly recommend this school.

Personally it’s been one of the best schools my son has attended. Teachers and parents are very friendly. I love the family environment that the school has shown all of us.

Great learning and friendly environment, my kid has increasingly improved with vocabulary he’s is able to read fluently with no problem! Great teachers !

HORRIBLE Director Maria. Has covered up instances of teachers pinching children and has created a toxic environment for teachers and children by yelling at teachers in front of children and having non qualified adults in the room watching children. Check the many citations they have before entering that school!
