Montessori Shir-Hashirim Los Angeles

While I have always like this school, the reality is that this school has taught me what a school experience should be. Each morning, my youngest song wakes up, excited to go to school, reviewing what he hopes will happen that day, and what his favorite parts of the previous day were. I'm sure this is not normal for most kids. If it's a day off, he spends at least part of the day trying to recreate what would have happened at school, using me, his brother, and the family dog as his classmates. He feels safe and secure and loved, as much there as he does at home while at the same time, he is learning to share, cooperate, and contribute to a large community of peers and adults. We're thankful that MSH is his school and I am determined to have every every educational experience a positive one.

Very pleased with the experience our son is having. He is truly growing and we are lucky to have found this school

My daughter attended Montessori Shir-Hashirim for 3 years. She LOVED it. The school is truly amazing. It has fabulous teachers, a smart, focused curriculum, a director who is present and oversees everything and helps kids love to learn. My daughter left this preschool incredibly well-prepared for kindergarten. Elena, the owner/director is an experienced, passionate educator who truly loves educating kids in the Montessori method. The school is clean, well-managed, safe and serves healthy snacks. My daughter flourished there. I highly recommend this school! And, if you want your kid to attend a private elementary school, Elena is not only well-connected with admissions directors at top schools, but is very knowledgeable about the admissions process. My daughter was accepted everywhere we applied and so were numerous other families.

We have had three kids attend this preschool -- we couldn't be happier! They love going to school every day and come home and surprise us with the fun and interesting things they learn. One day it's the latest ballet move - the next day is counting in Chinese! The teachers are dedicated, caring and inspiring. We wouldn't change a thing.
