Montessori For Toddlers - Edu (CA)

5 /5 Rosemary Kumar: Like many worried parents I spent countless hours researching, talking to community members, and spending sleepless nights worrying about where to send my little ones. Everyone kept recommending Montessori For Toddlers. After doing a tour, I enrolled my daughter. She had the most wonderful, enriching, confidence-building experience. Terese promotes a positive parenting approach and demonstrates it exceptionally. She is extremely loving and patient with every child, while also knowing exactly what to say in every moment to steer our children toward more desirable behavior and personal growth. Under her care, my daughter learned how to respectfully interact with others, and also extend her sense of independence. My favorite day was when she came home, showed me how she could button her own jacket, and proudly declared, "Mommy, Im so capable!" That ability, that confidence, and that language is reflective of the amazing work of Terese. I have since put my two younger sons through her school and she met both of them with the same care, love, and respect as she did my daughter. She met them where they were and helped them to grow cognitively, socially, and emotionally. My children moved on to Waldorf education after graduating from this school and all of them are thriving!

5 /5 Leila Baradaran: My daughter was so fortunate to get her start at Montessori for Toddlers. Terese is full of so much knowledge and that helped us navigate many ages and stages through my daughter’s toddler years. Lori is such a kind and loving teacher. They both made such a memorable impact on my daughters life and memories. I highly recommend MFT to anyone who would like to see their children learn independence, and mindfulness in a safe and supportive environment. They will develop many skills, learn so much, and make lasting friendships. After 2 years at MFT, we decided to continue onto another Montessori school because we love Montessori so much!

5 /5 Alisa Gillilan: My three children, ages 6, 8, and 11 all went to Montessori for Toddlers from age 18 months to 4. It was so thrilling to see all that they were learning at such a young age. They came home excited to tell me that Miss Terese or Miss Lori had taught them how to squeeze an orange to make orange juice, put on their own shoes, how to use a real screw driver and socket wrench. They were learning amazing life skills that have prepared them for life. And as they got older they were identifying 10 different primates and knew the names of so many species of whales, as well as learning their letters and numbers. I would often hear them singing songs or reciting poems and even learned how to sign with real sign language, the songs they learned at school. This program started them on their educational journey with a real love of learning that continues today. We parents learned so much as well, through Parent education in the Positive Discipline approach. Our first experience with Montessori helped us through this challenging parenting path. I highly recommend this beautiful little Montessori program for your little one

5 /5 Eric Graham: MFT has been an outstanding experience for our son throughout his time there. Terese, Lori, and the rest of the staff are deeply attuned to the needs of young children and have created an extraordinary early education and social experience. We couldnt have asked for a better learning environment for our son to grow up in. Highly recommended!!

5 /5 Jason Zahorenko: Both my oldest and youngest have thrived at Montessori for Toddlers. Terese, Lori and Connie provide such a nurturing and creative space that teach children they are truly capable of doing so much. So grateful to have found this school.
