Montessori School of San Marcos

Montessori School of San Marcos is a fantastic school! The staff and teachers communicate well, greet us with friendly smile every morning and they knowledgeable about their students needs. The curriculum is high quality and follows the Montessori principles. My 3.5 year son is thriving, making friends and learning new academic and life skills every day. My husband and I are extremely grateful to be a part of this high quality school community.

Our daughter has been attending Montessori School of San Marcos since she was just five months old, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Over the past three years, she has thrived in an environment where love, care, and safety are consistently prioritized. From taking her first bottle from a non-family member to writing the letters of her name, Ms. Crystal and each of the classroom teachers has gone above and beyond to help our girl thrive. Throughout her developmental journey, the staff has maintained open communication with us, supporting her every step of the way. We are deeply grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our daughter's early years. Kudos to owner/director Ms. Tilly who has developed a positive and effective learning environment.

Our son attended the Montessori School from 5 months to 2 years old and he flourished! He was so loved and cherished by his teachers Ms. Terri and Ms. Navya and they provided him with an excellent foundation for learning. He speaks in full sentences at age 2, knows how to count, knows his colors, and is incredibly independent. The directors Ms. Tilly and Ms. Crystal are wonderful and responsive and we will miss the school greatly!

Our experience with Montessori School of San Marcos has been nothing short of exceptional. The Montessori approach here is implemented with such care and attention to each child's individual needs. My daughter has flourished in this environment, developing not only academically but also socially and emotionally. The teachers are incredibly dedicated. We were so blessed to have Ms. Lucy as a teacher. She is the most patient, kind and nurturing teacher, always creating a safe and stimulating environment where my daughter felt confident and excited to learn every day. The curriculum is well-rounded, encouraging independence, creativity, and a love for learning that I believe will serve her well for years to come. Communication with the staff is excellent, and I always felt informed and involved in her educational journey. The sense of community within the school is also strong, making it a wonderful place for both students and parents. I highly recommend Montessori School of SM to any parent looking for a Montessori school that truly understands and respects the unique development of each child. We are so grateful to have been part of this wonderful school!

This school is wonderful! We loved all the teachers that my daughter had here. They all took great care of her and taught her so much! Ms. Tasha is a very experienced and skilled educator, and my daughter adores her. Ms. Crystal, the school administrator, was always great about answering our questions when we first moved to the area and throughout our time at the school. She is one-of-a-kind, and deeply cares about the students and families. This school is a great environment for little ones to grow and thrive!

Both our daughters attended Montessori School of San Marcos and we couldn't be happier with the expierence both girls had. We're so grateful to the amazing staff. The children have a blast while learning so much! The environment is perfect for sparking curiosity. Your child will feel safe, loved and nurtured. We will truly miss this school.

"The Montessori School of San Marcos has surpassed our expectations in every aspect. Under the leadership of Ms. Thillie and Ms. Crystal, the dedicated and knowledgeable staff have created a nurturing environment that fosters a love of learning, independence, and self-confidence. The school's expert implementation of the Montessori method, emphasizing individualized instruction, hands-on activities, and exploration, has provided a holistic learning experience. The well-maintained school offers a safe and healthy space for children to grow. We've witnessed remarkable growth in our son's social, emotional, and academic development, thanks to the incredible teachers, Ms. Tasha and Ms. Nupur, who have made a lasting impact on his educational journey. The school's warm and supportive community, with regular communication and opportunities for parental involvement, has made us feel valued and connected. We're deeply grateful for the Montessori School of San Marcos and highly recommend it to families seeking a high-quality education that prepares children for a lifetime of learning and success."

Two of my children currently attend here and It’s been a very positive experience thus far. My husband and I are very satisfied with staff and Directors Ms. Tilly and Ms. Crystal. They’re amazing !! Our oldest, has been here for just about 3 years. We've witnessed tremendous growth Educationally, socially and emotionally. His ability to focus on tasks as well as interest in montessori has increased exponentially. We are very grateful for all his past teachers (in previous classes) and his present teachers Ms. Tasha and Ms. Nupur which have shown an immense interest in his development. It is evident they are passionate in what they do. Our daughter has been enrolled since she was 5 months old. (Infant program no longer open) and now is 20 months. She’s always so anxious to go into her classroom to see her teachers and classmates. They are always so welcoming and receive her with open arms (literally) and a smile. We also get updates (via app) throughout the day including photos and videos of her participating in many fun lessons, crafting projects and outdoor playtime. Her teachers Ms. Nayvia and Ms. Terry have been warm and communicative throughout her journey. We couldn't be happier with their attention and care. Overall, my husband and I feel our children are in a safe and comfortable environment where they are free to learn and develop at their pace while also being individually challenged. We are very pleased with our children’s advancements. Highly recommend!!!

The reason I’m giving 1 star is the management at this place is nowhere. The only thing they are really interested in is your $$$. Our daughter missed her graduation because they removed us from all notifications on the school portal because we didn’t sign up for summer camp. I asked the other parents and they all received emails and notifications many times the week prior to graduation. It is completely unacceptable to remove someone from notifications who’s student attended the whole year before graduation has commenced. She loved her time at the school and deserved to be there with her classmates and teachers. I would like to add that her teachers Ms Esther and Miss Lucy we’re great. To clarify, we unenrolled our daughter because if we didn’t we would have had to pay for summer camp. So basically pay$$$ or don’t go to graduation.

We love Montessori school of San Marcos! I knew immediately after touring this school, it would be the perfect place for our daughter to grow and learn. She absolutely thrived at this school and loved her teacher Ms Tasha. The staff is so nurturing and caring.
