Temecula Montessori Academy

awful school and owner ‘ run! they are perfect up front until you get to know them. i.e., Melinda

I «attach» parented my daughter, as many would say, for almost 3 years so the transition from stay at home with mom all day to going to school for 10 hours a day was huge. I wouldn’t ask for a better place to send my girl because this was it. She needs a lot of love and attention and she definitely needs patience and guidance that isn’t harsh. The teachers here offer it, I couldn’t find this anywhere else in Temecula.
Anyways, this is a wonderful place to send your children. Summer activities are all through the months for kids, field trips, hot lunch option, little parties etc that the kids enjoy through the year.
She is happy here which is a relief on me because I know she’s taken care of and not being scolded for simple things or snapped at for doing something wrong. I’ve seen teachers snap at kids at other schools and it really bothers me. Sharp tones and an angry attitude towards innocent kids is just sad but not here, so I am just really thankful for that.
The teaching methods are visibly effective. She’s learning a lot and I’m really impressed. Did I mention they potty trained her?!
Take a tour of the school you’ll see it’s really the best option here, no others are comparable in any way.

As a new mommy, I was hesitant to start my 3 month old in daycare. Nervous that he won’t receive the love, attention, and care that he deserves. But, Temecula Montessori and the amazing Teachers proved me otherwise!!! Miss Rhonda, Miss Kathy, Miss Arial, Miss Mimi and the director Miss Melinda (& the other teachers who come in to visit or say «Hi Logan» as we walk in) provide my baby boy (now 9 months) such an enriching environment!
I truly feel that they really love my baby! They helped develop his sitting up, crawling, eating, playing and learning skills!
I now drop Logan off knowing he is going to have a great time, learn, sleep well, and be happy by the time I pick him up.
Plus, they are so very flexible with my ever-​changing schedule! Always accommodating Logan and I.
I am no longer scared of «someone else raising my baby», but instead proud and glad that they are a part of his life!
Thank you!

My son started in the infant room when he was 7 months old, he is now 22 months and loves going everyday! Miss Rhonda and the other teachers are great and always keep him busy. He brings home the cutest art projects and is already learning colors, counting, and his ABC’s!

I am very happy with the school. My grandkids wake up every day and are excited to go to school. The staff is very caring and loving. It’s a GREAT SCHOOL if you’re looking for a great education for your children!

My husband and I decided to put our daughter into preschool at the age of 3. She is an only child and she needed the interaction of seeing how other 3 year old kids behave and play. We were able to take her in for a Trial Day with one of the classes. On her own, my daughter went to the 3 – 4 year old class. She had such a Great Trial Day that she was super excited to start going to school.
Since starting school in May, my daughter has started to write her own name, she no longer asks for the teachers help, she says she is a «Big Girl now and can do it on her own.»
All of the teachers are Wonderful and super friendly. I Love the weekly progress reports the parents get about how the kids are doing in class. I’m so thankful that the school (Miss Melinda and staff) are flexible when it comes to making up a missed day during the week.
I’m very Happy that my husband and I decided to put our daughter into preschool when we did. She has thrived tremendously and she will be moving up to the Pre-​K class once school is back in session. She has talked about going «upstairs like the Big Kids» for a while now, and she is Super Excited to finally be making the transition upstairs with the Big Kids.
Thank you TMA!

My children, b/​g twins have attended this school/​Temecula Montessori Academy from preschool/​age 2 through 2^nd grade/​age 7. It is a wonderful school and has a loving atmosphere. I can honestly say everyone there is like family to us. My kids have learned so much and are very advanced in all areas of curriculum for their age. I especially love the concept of Montessori and how it brings out the individual best in each child.
I noticed in another review concern about location. I’d like to mention that the school has made many improvements inside and out in the last year, including brand new playground equipment and the addition of an infant/​toddler room. In any case I’ve always loved the vintage feel of the buiding’s architecture.
My kids are moving on to another school for 3^rd grade and we are SO SAD to be saying goodbye now. I only wish the grades went higher so they could still keep attending! We will miss Ms Melinda and all their teachers very much. But we’ll be back for sure for summer break!

My daughter attended the montessori at jefferson/​overland in temecula. Great school, Mrs. Melinda was great, loved her and the staff. My daughter learned so much. She went there from preschool to kindergarten, and they prepared her for 1^st grade and beyond. They had her doing phonics and reading by kindergarten. The children had uniforms, it was great. Amazing curriculum.
My only dislike was the location, hence the 4 stars. I think it is time for them to find a more child friendly location as it appears they have been there a while and its a little rough over there.
