Garden Grove Montessori Academy

Our daughter started pre-​school when she turned 3−½ and has been going to Garden Grove Montessori (GGMA) for seven months now. Her experience and ours has been no less than spectacular. Her progress has been exponential and she still surprises us every day by the new things she learns at School.
When we first thought of enrolling her, we visited several pre-​schools and went through a rigorous review filtering out schools. Needless to say, we were looking for the highest standards in education and a place where our daughter would feel at home.
My wife and I unanimously and with very little effort decided on GGMA even though it was the farthest from home. And we are so glad we made the decision to enroll our child here. Top down, the School’s management and teachers are wonderful. The Director of the School, Ms. Karen is simply amazing. She has a genuine passion for teaching and a motherly loving nature. She along with Mr. Kris have been running an amazing program at the GGMA. The teachers are deeply hands on and very creative, focusing on each child and their specific needs. Combine that with the school’s Montessori ideals and you have a solid foundation for your child’s first educational and self developmental experience.
From day one, our daughter felt like home at GGMA. Seven months later even today, she hates weekends because she doesn’t get to go to school. She has progressed amazingly since she started. She began with her alphabets and numbers and has gone on to learn the days of the week, months, planets, parts of the tree, parts of the flower, continents, countries just to name a few. Her writing skills have been developing nicely. Even beyond education she has shown a lot of promise. Her art skills are evident in the arts and crafts projects she brings home. The school also encourages extra-​curricular activities and has dance and karate classes. Other life skills taught in school are obvious in her day to day life as well, her confidence, independence (she is going through her ‘I can do it myself’ phase) and manners are exemplary.
Every parent wants the best for their child; we are confident that we’ve been able to give our child the best education and environment at GGMA that will equip her with the foundational skills necessary for a better brighter future. Thank you Garden Grove Montessori Academy!

My daughter has been attending Garden Grove Montessori Academy for 8 months now. I’ve done a review when she first started and I thought I would do an update. For all the parents reading this that are deciding if this is the right school to enroll your child or children in; my response to you is Absolutely! I know there are so many schools to choose from but finding the right one can be a difficult decision. By far, picking this school for my daughter has been the best decision I have made!
Here at Garden Grove Montessori Academy, you will find nuturing, friendly, loving and amazing staffs that will give you a peace of mind knowing that your child or children will be in good hands. The love and support of the staffs will make any child fit right in on Day 1.
The teachers at this school has so much love and dedication for each child. They are beyond an ordinary teacher! I love the fact how the teachers keep track of what your child know and does not know. Not only are they teaching the class as a whole but they take the time to go over with your child what they aren’t understanding thoroughly. This was very impressive because it takes alot of dedication for a person to do this for every child. Academically, this school has surpassed my expectations!
My daughter is 2 years old. She can count to 15 easily and identify her numbers. She also know her alphabet and can make all the sounds of the letters. She also knows shapes and colors. Plus more! Her speech has improved tremendously that sometimes it makes me wonder; is she really 2 years old? As you can tell, I am a proud mother and thanks to the staffs here at Garden Grove Montessori Academy!
Look no further, come visit the school and check it out for yourself is all I can say. I am still 100% satisfied and extremely happy I made the right choice! My daughter loves her second home and so do I!

Staffs: Amazing!

All here at Garden Grove Montessori Academy!
Thank you to all the staffs!

I wanted to write a review for many reasons… one of them is that I want to share with others how happy we are with Garden Gorve Montessori Academy! I feel that my daughter is in good hands… from the very first day we visited this school we felt very welcomed I know how hard it is to choose the right preschool for our kids… I have to say that the staff at GG Montessori are very friendly and professional, and a special thank you to Mrs. Karen who is always there to help and answer any questions regarding her students.

My husband & I enrolled our son in Garden Grove Montessori after his 3^rd birthday. He’s been attending school here for about 3 months now. When we used to live in LA county, our son attended preschool at a big name «corporation». Despite being a big name corporation, we never really felt like our son got much out of being there, academically. On top of that, he hated going to school. It was such a battle getting him to part with us the three days out of the week that he went.
At GGMA, he immediately felt at home. He looks forward to going to school every morning, and he takes off every time my husband or I drop him off. Doesn’t even look back! I’m amazed with his speech. My son has always been the talker, but we noticed that just after attending a few weeks here, he’s speaking in complete (and coherent) sentences. There’s also an improvement in his letter recognition, and counting. We’ve noticed such a tremendous difference in him & we’re so impressed.
More importantly, the staff is great here. There’s a whole lot of heart behind this charming little preschool, and I think that’s what makes it so successful. They love what they do, and in turn, the kids get back tenfold =)

We feel so fortunate to have our daughter attending GG Montessori (5 months now)! The teachers are so nurturing, caring and loving that your child will feel comfortable right away. We feel that our daughter is receiving the best education possible by attending Garden Grove Montessori and we look forward to having our son join her when he turns two in January ;o). My review is short but it’s not because I don’t have a thousand more wonderful things to say about the GREAT job they are doing teaching and nurturing our children… I could go on & on about this school… Just read the other two reviews, I couldn’t AGREE more with those two parents!!! ;o)

We were so lucky to find this school. The employees are very caring, encouraging and are great motivators.
We enrolled our son after he turned 3. This is one of the few schools that will accept your child if they are not potty trained and they will potty train your child for you. What a blessing…
It hasn’t been a year yet and our son has learned his ABCs, counting, shapes, colors, the planets, phonetics, writing and the countries in South America. Not only do they teach academic materials, they also teach life skills like manners, how to use the bathroom, cleaning up, getting dress, etc…
The cost is very affordable and we feel like our son is getting so much out of the school. Definitely one of the best value around. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention we love the little shows our son is involved in, the kids are so cute dancing and singing on stage.
If you are thinking about enrolling your child to a preschool, Garden Grove Montessori Academy is definitely a place you need to check out.
