Our family couldn’t be happier with our past 3 years at Montessori Five Canyons. From ages 2-5 our son has gone through many milestones surrounded by very loving and capable teachers. I am continually impressed with the professionalism of the staff and grateful for the care they have given my son.

Excellent montessori school and community. Both of my daughters attended from 2 years - Kindergarten. The teachers are wonderful, caring, and very child-focused. This place is a gem.

Ive had both of my children at M5Cs and have watched them flourish. I have also been a teacher at the school for many years . I love working with such loving and dedicated Montessori teachers and really appreciate our supportive parent community.

We have nothing but good experience with M5C. The staff and management here are very professional. Theyll be up front with you about everything. The school is also very clean and equipped with high quality educational materials. Though the tuition may seem high at first, but when comparing to other schools, M5C is actually more affordable than other schools of similar ranking. I am glad to see how M5C is able to keep tuition at this lower end and still maintain high quality staff and facility standards. That way, more kids from middle-income families can attend. Thank you M5C.

My son has attended M5C since he was 18 months old. We love the school. His teachers are incredible and really care about the kids. He picks up after himself at home and eats with utensils - all credit for this goes to M5C. Couldnt recommend it more.

The teachers are good. But the school director treats parents like idiots and scams their money. Once you pay the deposit youre hooked for a whole year. Want to withdraw? you need to give 30 day notice AND pay an additional 30 day penalty... The director will also make up stories about your kid and play all kinds of dirty games to make you pay more money... its all about money money money! and while my child was here, he got sick just about every month of the school year... The place looks pretty clean, but there mustve been germs and viruses everywhere. My son has been going to his new school for 5 months and he hasnt gotten sick at all!

This school sent my grandson home with a diaper rash so bad he needed medical attention. He was put on antibiotics because pus was coming out the next day. This child had been in another preschool for nearly a year - no diaper rash. Of course we had to let the State know. They investigated asking for the diaper changing records - they did not have. They privately interviewed each teacher everyone all denied changing him. The school was slapped with a Class A violation - there will be a hearing in a few weeks. Im a retired nurse - I have never witness such a horrible diaper rash in my life. Almost looked like a burn.

I highly recommend Montessori at Five Canyons (M5C). I enrolled my five year old grandson in M5C in March 2013. This was his first introduction to school and he joined Ms Sarahs Sunflower room for Pre-K. He absolutely loved the school, his classmates and Ms Sarah! Ms. Sarah made him feel so welcome as he joined her class after mid-year. After completing Pre-K and summer school he joined Ms. Ilas kindergarten class where he honed his math and reading skills. Ms. Ila was also a very caring teacher who also advanced her students well. I was very impressed when in Kindergarten my grandson began reading.Montessori at Five Canyons is so much more than a school. Ms. Meher, the Director of the school, ensures the perfect atmosphere, direction and caring for her young students.I highly recommend Montessori at Five Canyons (and only have one regret which is my fault!!). When the kindergarten class participates in their graduation ceremony Ms. Meher says a few words about each student which gives a glimpse of their personality. My only regret is that I did not turn the recorder on my phone on to record Ms. Mehers comments about my grandson. It would have been great to have recorded that so he could look back on it as he grows.So I guess I have two recommendations: 1) Send your kids to Montessori at Five Canyons (you will be pleased with that decision) 2) When you child graduates from kindergarten make sure you record Ms. Mehers comments about your child!
