Montessori Center of Pearl Harbor

I was a former student at the Montessori Center of Pearl Harbor. It gave me the educational foundations that I needed to succeed in the later stages at school. I am currently in high school, and I still remember all of the help Montessori has been to me in my career as a student. This school has taught me how to read, write, use the basic functions on a computers, and perform basic arithmetic effectively, and pushes you to learn in a fun, hands-​on method. Not only does it give one an educational foundation, but also a social foundation by teaching you what is right and wrong to helping one another and sharing. I hope that all people looking for an exceptional preschool choose the Montessori Center of Pearl Harbor.

I am the parent of a 3 ½ year old boy who attends the Montessori Center of Pearl Harbor. We are active duty military (Air Force) and my son is the youngest of three children. The school is located on the Pacific Fleet Command base (Makalapa) so you must have access to the base to attend. This is the best preschool that my children have ever attended. While the cost might seem high at first, it is actually very reasonable by Hawaii standards (same cost for us at the Hickam AFB child development center). My son is in a class of 8 students with two teachers – an unbelievable ratio. His main teacher, Miss Sandy, has been teaching Montessori for over 30 years, and Miss Liz (who teaches the older class of 4 – 5 year olds) has the same amount of experience. The third teacher is a young teacher who adds the perfect touch of creativity and modern techniques. The school practices the traditional Montessori principles with all of the old school materials and offers instruction in math, science, language arts, reading, sensory and home life. There is a lovely covered outdoor play area with water tables, art stations, etc., as well as plenty of playground equipment. My son loves this school and his classmates and teachers and looks forward to school everyday. I give this school the highest recommendation.

My daughter is attending her 2^nd year at MCPH and now my son has started and we couldn’t be happier! When we first started looking at area preschools, were amazed to find a Montessori school that was nearby and affordable. Very organized, as is expected with this program. Friendly, kind, and patient teachers that the children adore! Great outdoor space too. They also offer a summer program where the kids learn all about Hawaii.
I love that this is a small school where my kids get lots of attention. And the security it offers being on base is great.
It has also been great as a parent, many of us get together regularly at the park, and at parent meetings so that we can help out any way that we can.
I highly recommend this school to anybody looking for a quality preschool for their child.
