Review β„–1

My daughter has been going to Belltower Montessori since she was one. She is 4 now. Every day she is excited to go to school. The teachers are amazing and I would definitely recommend this school to everyone. My 4 year old writes all the letters from A to Z and also all the numbers from 1-20. Their classrooms are not crowded and they have the ability to work with each child individually. I love this school and i get stressed out thinking when I have to take her to public school. If I could keep her here till she is 18 I would 🀣🀣.

Changing to Montessori over public was a great decision. My son had major anxiety over going to public kindergarden everyday. He was not doing well with 32 kids and 1 teacher so we pulled him and put him in Montessori. He loves his teachers. He wants to go to school in the mornings and over the last year has shown an increased interest in learning and reading.

Lyndy is an amazing person. The center is filled with staff eager to learn and serve their purpose. Lyndy works well with everyone she hires new to the field or experienced. She is a multitasker and cares about the kiddos. She tries her best to offer the best care that she can. Truth is, different children need different things. Not everyone learns the same way. If your child thrives well in a structured academic Montessori based learning environment then this is a school for them. If you prefer your child to learn in a play based center then this is not that environment. My advice to parents is do your research on what structure you think works best for your child. Feel free to ask questions. Everyone has an opinion but reviews could be based on realizing they prefer Montessori. Sometimes frustrations mean parents start to realize they prefer a different philosophy for their children. I worked here as the assistant director and my experience gave me tools that I took with me to grow in my field. Im thankful for the experience and the beautiful spirited teachers I met along the way.

We moved to Riverside in March of 2017 and looked around on Yelp and visited a few places and this place looks the nicest and kids look happy so we gave it a try for our 3 years old daughter then and turned out to be an excellent place. School is clean and has plenty of Montessori style learning tools for the kids and teachers are great. Thank you Mrs. Winters! Most importantly our daughter is very happy with her school. She sometimes actually says she loves her school so we are very pleased with it.

As a newer parent. I have to say I was very sketch at first. Mostly because of all the horror stories you see. But from day one, this school has been nothing but amazing to us and our daughter. Ms. Moore has always been very wonderful to us and making sure any concerns are taken care of. Her teachers have been so great, they dont just watch your kids. They TEACH them how to be more independent and how to have good manners. I went to her Lil party for valentines day and by natural habit, i grabbed my daughters plate. Her teacher ms. Gray said hold on. Thats not daddys job. And corrected her. She got my Lil one to get up. Politely push in her chair with both hands. Then asked her to grab her cup, plate and throw it in the trash. Which she did. Everything they do at school. She brings that back home. So now she always says please, thank you (we always made sure to help with that too) and when she is finished with her food, she throws her trash away. As well as always being excited to go to school. She loves to tell us how much she enjoys her teacher ms. Gray and the other teachers. A great thing they do, not sure if its everywhere... On the outside of all the classrooms, they have photos of your Childs teachers and helpers. That way you know EXACTLY who is supposed to be in there with the kids. Would DEFINITELY recommend Belltower Montessori Academy!

I am so excited that I found Belltower for my daughter. My daughter is 6 months old and is in their infant program. I toured many of the other schools in the Corona area and Belltower is by far the best that I came across. I love all the montessori materials they have throughout the school. It is a new school and all the equipment and materials are brand new. I am excited to see my daughter grow and excel with Belltower Montessori.

I am a seasoned teacher and administrator in early childhood education with over 20 years of experience, working within several different child care environments. I have a tremendous respect for the Montessori methodology and for Belltower Montessori’s infant β€œNido” program. I am overwhelmed with joy with the Nido program at Belltower. The peaceful, calm environment allows the infants to have the freedom to move and experience tactile developmentally appropriate infant materials, specifically designed to stimulate fine motor skill and hand-eye coordination. It is absolutely amazing how the infants flourish in this calm and tranquil environment.

Belltower montessori was great to my kindergarten child we recently moved and she is now enrolled in a different school and we are seeing how much more advanced she is than the other children in her class due to the extra time and teaching that was shared with her at belltower . The staff at belltower was phenomenal and they really care about the children and their progress. The Director Ms. Moore was outstanding since day one! she was always very thorough never did we feel that we as parents were left out of the loop or misinformed she went over everything in extreme detail and made sure that we always knew what was going on with our child and anytime we had questions she always had the answer. she and her staff together are what make that school a better place for our children to learn. i would recommend this school to anyone who wants their kid to be a step ahead of the rest.

Weve been bringing her daughter to Belltower Montessori since September. From the beginning Ms. Golanski made us feel very comfortable, not only is the facility great, but the teachers are excellent. Both Ms. Azazian & Ms. Moore have cared for our daughter with tremendous amount of love. We know when shes not with us she is still in great hands, and we can tell our daughter feels at home even at her Montessori. Highly recommended, worth every penny!

Our friends recommended Belltower Montessori having recently joined their children in this new school when it first opened. We had been torn on what type of preschool education to choose from to hopefully give our daughter the best start in life, that was until we met Ms Golanski, the head of Belltower Montessori Academy . She explained to us the special gift we were giving our daughter through an authentic Montessori education, learning about practical life, etiquette, math and sciences through direct experience and our childs individual choice, under the guidance of the AMI and AMS trained teachers. Everything is this place is brand new, the school is absolutely spotless. I personally hadnt seen anything like this before in my life, which compelled me to write this review. If you are looking for the best preschool, make sure you visit this place. We have definitely found a second home for precious baby girl.

I am so glad my husband and I found this school! We were in need of a babysitter since our babysitter had put in her notice, but we found something that had equal to our babysitter and that was belltower! The teachers are so caring and knows how to talk to the kids. My son didnt even want to go near the toilet and now he ask all the time! He also knows his shapes, colors, numbers, and does house work with us. He has learned his manners at this school! Mind you our son is only 2! I cant say enough great things about the staff, but if you are looking for a school to help grow your child, please look into Belltower Montessori! We love it and plan on keeping our son there until he needs to go to elementary!
