I can't say enough great things about this school. My
son has been attending since he was three and our
youngest will start in the spring. The staff here are
just wonderful- extremely loving and attentive. My son
just absolutely loves going to school each day. The
class structure provides a sense of comfort and my son
just seems to thrive in their learning environment. In
the three years we've been attending, there has been
little to no staff turnover. This has allowed my son to
form a very special bond with his teachers. The school
also continues to add additional items to their
educational program each year, such as yoga, music, art
history and Spanish to name a few. My only complaint is
we'd wish they offered a program past Kindergarten. It's
going to be difficult when my son is ready for 1st grade
to locate a school who can top this one! Needless to
say, we would highly recommend this school.

I have so many things to say that I don't know where to
start! I am a VERY protective mom who was anxious and
nervous about sending my child to preschool for the
first time. However, Montessori American School won me
over very quickly and allayed all my fears! This
preschool/kindergarten is the perfect blend of
academics, culture appreciation, and socialization. They
foster independence, creativity, and a genuine pride in
learning in all of their students. The entire staff is
dedicated to guiding each child in discovering and
maximizing their strengths while encouraging them to
tackle new tasks/learning experiences they may not be
familiar with. This staff also provides a very
nurturing environment which I was very drawn to and one
I had not observed with other schools when I was
choosing a school for my daughter (and believe me, I
looked!). This year, they have begun to incorporate
Spanish, art, and music as part of their core
curriculum. They even started a new class for non-potty
trained 3 yr. olds with a dedicated nanny to help train
the kids how to potty. I could not have asked for more
& would have enrolled my 3 yr. old son were we not
leaving due to a military move!
I see the progress my daughter has made in the year she
has been there and my husband and I are amazed! She has
become a confident, independent, and respectful little
lady who loves to learn. She is excited to come home
each day and share all she has learned and accomplished!
As for tuition, as a previous reviewer mentioned, it is
a little pricey. However, if you compare the other
tuitions of the other Montessori schools in the San
Diego area, Montessori American's tuition is very
competitive AND they offer so much more (even beyond
what's in print)! This school has won Best Preschool in
Chula Vista for several years in a row and it is
well-deserved!!! You can't put a price on education and
giving your children the best chance at a great start! I
recommend this school with no reservations!
Thank You Miss Edith, Miss Yoly, Miss Dani, Miss Yuri,
Miss Aimee, and the rest of the wonderful staff at
Montessori American!
Sincerely,
Irene DeLeon-Dudas, MD
The Montessori American School will provide your child
the best foundation for their academic endeavors. Not
only did my 10 year old and 7 year old sons attend the
school for their preschool and kindergarten years, my
youngest son (age 3) has recently started attending the
school. The school provides the structure that children
crave, the tools that help children gain skills, and
staff that are nurturing and protective. As a full-time
working mom, it is very important for me to be assured
that my child is in a safe environment and, at the same
time, my child is given every opportunity to learn and
discover. I have never been disappointed in the 8 years
I have been involved with this school. In fact, I credit
the school for the easy transition my children had going
into the 1st grade at their elementary school. My
children continue to be high achievers academically and
very respectful towards their peers and adults. What
more can a parent ask for? You will not be disappointed
if you put your child in this school!!
Nilanie Ramos
I love this school! My son is loved and nurtured as well
as academically enriched. This is his second year and he
loves going to school! I've recommended this school to
friends and continue to be very happy to have my son
attend school here.

Edith, my wife Deborah and I would like to extend our
heartfelt appreciation for the nurturing and education
your school provided to my son and my daughter. Edith,
as you know I was a board member of a local school
district for five years and witnessed the administration
of the educational process first hand. Edith, I want you
to know that I understand how difficult it is to
maintain staff as dedicated as those you have. I firmly
believe that the reason they are there is because they
believe they are involved in something very special.
Edith, when both my children were entrusted into your
care they were toddlers As time went on it was clear
that your school was a special place for learning
respect, responsibility, independence and logic. Edith,
there are not many organizations where you can’t find
some type of weakness. In evaluating the type of
education and care you gave to my children over a total
of six years, I can proudly say your school is as close
to perfect as a school can get. Edith, my wife and I are
forever grateful for the foundation you have established
for both my children and are forever indebted to your
school for this. My children love you, your school and
their teachers.
Sincerely,
Albert Armas and Deborah Armas
Our experience at the
Montessori American School has been excellent. Not only
have my daughters received the love and care they needed
outside the home environment, but the program is great.
As a mother of three, this will be my ninth year in
School. Two of my older daughters already graduated from
Kindergarten and are doing excellent in their elementary
years.
Everyday I drop off my daughter at School; I leave her
with a smile. She loves her teachers. I am very thankful
to Edith and her excellent staff for all the good things
they taught my children, but most of all for helping
them become strong, smart, secure and happy children.
Frida Franco
We are very pleased with the
education our sons received at Montessori American
School. Edith and her staff provided a positive and
loving environment for learning. They gave our sons the
foundation blocks they needed to excel in higher
education. This is thus far, the best investment we have
ever made. We will miss all of you.
Moises & Ceidy Pacheco, parents of Moises & Dominic
Our experience with the
Montessori American School is nothing short of fabulous.
The caring and nurturing nature of the owner and
teachers made a foundational difference in the academic
lives of our children that only becomes more evident
every year. They outpace their peers in each academic
area, and have continued to develop the sense of self
and of community that is fostered at MAS.
After enrolling our first daughter (now 11 years old) in
three different Montessori schools, it was easy to
determine which school had the right fit... clearly the
Montessori American School. She was able to grow so
substantially that when it came time to pick a school
for her younger sister 5 years later, there was really
no other option for us...The Montessori American School
without hesitation.
Edith and the staff at Montessori American School made
us feel like family. They are not just teachers, but
family members. They truly care deeply for each
student’s welfare and strive to make each student
special. Our children still love to go by and say hello
when they can, and Edith and the team welcome them as
you would a family member you have not seen for a while.
From their daily welcome to the students and parents, to
their warm hugs and farewells at the end of each day,
the staff at Montessori American School provided an
unparalleled environment in which we began a bright
future for our children.
Russ & Victoria Buckley
The experience my children
had with Montessori American School was incredible. From
the very start, we were impressed with the discipline,
patience and caring environment which the children were
taught. This is by far an educationally superior school
with highly experienced and dedicated teachers. Our
daughter developed a passion for the arts and our son
significantly improved his language skills to the point
he is now fluent in both Spanish and English. We highly
recommend the school to any parent who wants the
absolute best education for his child.
Rod and Ana Molina Rodriguez. Max’s and Paulina’s
parents
The best gift any parent can
give their children is a good foundation for their
educational future done within a safe environment. The
staff at the Montessori American School are
conscientious, skillful and knowledgeable. The children
academically grow in an environment that is very
nurturing. As parents that are employed full-time, it
was very important for us to place our children in a
setting that could provide them with a strong academic
base, a setting that our children could feel like they
belonged, and most importantly, a setting where we knew
our children would be safe.
Our first son attended the school from 2004-2007, our
second son has been there since 2007, and we plan on
sending our third son in the future when he turns 3. The
moment our first son entered the first grade we were
able to see the benefits of sending our child to the
Montessori American School. Not only was he achieving at
a higher level, he was confident with himself and his
abilities.
THANK YOU MONTESSORI AMERICAN SCHOOL
Ronnie and Nilanie Ramos
We know first hand how the
Montessori American School is unique and very special.
Each child is greeted by name and with a tussle of the
hair or a big friendly hug they are sent on their way to
the sweet and friendly playground each morning. Their
academic program encourages children to ask questions,
use their imaginations, take time and care with their
assignments, and to make the most of each day.
Both of our sons attend the Montessori American School.
They have become very confident in their problem solving
abilities and very self-reliant. Their art, music and
Spanish programs are fantastic as well.
It is obvious everyday how much Miss Edith loves her job
and how serious she takes her responsibility as an
educator. She has assembled a wonderful staff who shares
her passion: The atmosphere within the grounds carries
the joy of learning, the thrill of discovery, and the
fun of fellow classmates.
Our only regret is that the Montessori American School
does not go beyond kindergarten.
Aubyn and Jack Gominiak
Our children were taught to
be independent thinkers and learners.
We attribute our children’s ability to stay focused and
current scholastic success, to the Montessori American
School.
The staff was loving, nurturing, professional and kind
to our children and family.
The music and language programs were a favorite part of
the school week for our children.
We would encourage any family with preschool to
Kindergarten aged children to enroll their children at
the Montessori American School.
Tim and Jori Stuber
2003-2007
All my 3 children attended
this school. They loved it and looked forward to
learning new things. The teachers were very nurturing
and attentive to them which is very important to young
children. The Montessori environment encourages the
children to be self-starters and take initiative. This
attitude is very important especially now that the kids
are in the higher grades. Even to this day, our children
recall special times and special teachers in this
school. I am very happy with the results of this short
but very important part of their education.
Joel & Judith Apides
Deanne and I wanted to
express our appreciation for all that you Ms. Edith, and
your staff have been doing for children. This is such an
important time in their lives and we feel so fortunate
that you and your school are guiding and shaping their
futures.
It is obvious to us that you create a culture of caring
and development that is a perfect fit for our family.
You set the tone for your staff and it shows in the
wonderful interactions we have with your staff on a
daily basis.
Lastly. we realize that you have many children and
parents that you talk with on daily basis. The great
thing about you style is that you always make us feel as
if we are the only ones on your list.
Thank you so much.
Chuck Matthews and Deanne Sharp
We were very pleased with
the wonderful foundation Montessori American School gave
both of our children. The teachers are devoted, caring,
and skilled at challenging each child to excel
academically at their own pace. Kaelyn’s and Kevin’s
years at the school set them up for later success in
elementary school. It also was a place that our children
loved and looked forward to going to each day.
Steve & Ellen Kappes,
Parents of Kaelyn & Kevin
Our son graduated from
kindergarten at Montessori American School this past
June. I must say that I never expected to be as
emotional as I have been over the great care, love, and
fabulous teaching that was continually demonstrated by
all of the teachers at Montessori American. Each time
that I speak with my sons teachers or Miss Edith, I
truly well up inside because I am so grateful for how
they all helped in our son’s transition to the school
and his growth during his time there.
Justin participated and learned so much from his daily
coursework, art class, Spanish class, and music class. I
happily recommend Montessori American School to anyone
that is looking to place their child in a positive
environment with an excellent curriculum.
With love,
Juliette Ceseña
You are a Godsend to our
family and children’s lives. The school and ideas that
you plant into our community will live on. Leaders and
future role models are a legacy that will surely endure.
Paul and Cecilia Barbabosa, parents of Cameron and Sofia
The Montessori American School and their faculty is a
great establishment for early childhood learning. The
school is highly academic, encourages confidence,
nurtures the child’s social and academic abilities and
most especially the school and staff provide a loving
environment to develop these strengths. The school set a
solid foundation that prepared our son Derek for 1s tgrade
and that will continue on through his academic years.
Dennis and Lea Dimalanta
The Montessori American
School has provided my twins with an excellent
environment for learning, but what really sets the
school apart from others is the teachers and staff. They
have a true passion for learning and are deeply
dedicated to the emotional well being of all the
children. They are able to provide the perfect balance
of discipline and compassion that has really helped my
children excel.
Paula and Michael Saracen, parents of Anaїs & Lorenzo.
“I have to say
I was a little skeptical at first placing my Isabella
into the Montessori system. I couldn’t see how playing
with blocks and water could prepare my daughter for her
future years of education. However, what I thought about
blocks and water, the Montessori American School was
teaching my daughter the fundamentals of consistency and
organization that would give her the tools she needed to
have a successful academic career. My daughter has begun
her 1st grade year at a reputable public school and is
already reading at a 3rd grade level and the teachers
cannot stop raving about how students that come from the
Montessori school are well more advanced in their
reading and math skills. It was worth every single penny
and there is no question in my mind where I will be
sending my 9 month son when he’s old enough as I have
told Mrs. Edith to save a spot for him.”
Rebecca Aleta
Our experience with the
Montessori American School has been outstanding. We see
our son’s progress with his intellectual and social
development. He truly enjoys learning and looks forward
to attending his school.
We feel confident with the care and personal attention
the highly capacitated staff displays with each
individual student inside, and out of the classroom.
Jael Nava and Cliff Mosley
Congratulations on the well
deserved recognition for the Montessori American School.
As a public school teacher, I have carefully looked for
a program to suit Harmony’s curiosity of the world and
inspire her to love learning. The additional Spanish and
Music classes make it a very well rounded environment.
Harmony loves coming to school to discover new material
and adores her caring teachers. The Montessori program
is indeed extraordinary. It is a solid foundation,
timely, interesting and challenging. Thank you for the
significant contribution you are making to Harmony’s
education. The Montessori American School is truly a
fantastic place to learn.
Sincerely, Cynthia and Antony Richardson
I learned about the
Montessori way of teaching over 23 years ago when my
first daughter was born. Unfortunately, due to the
location being 100 miles away…she could not attend.
Surprise…18 years later, a second daughter is on her way
and there is a Montessori school approximately 5 miles
away! The entire pregnancy I was anxious to get her on
the waiting list, even though I knew the entry age was
2.5 years. I visited Ms. Edith at Montessori American
School in Bonita when she was 8 months old.
One of the happiest & proudest days in my life was when
my daughter walked through the gates of Montessori
American School. I cried tears of joy! My husband and I
are convinced that we made the right choice for building
our daughter’s academic and social future. The
schoolmaster and teachers are warm, loving, talented and
able to create a positive learning experience with the
feeling of a secondary family. Our daughter takes
additional classes offered in Music & Spanish.
Melissa Gibson
In the year 2003 we move to
Coronado. Camila, my first daughter, was 7 months
old. When the time came, I started looking for a school
that would satisfy our educational needs. We wanted
first and foremost a school with bilingual teachers, so
my daughter who didn’t speak English yet, could
communicate with her teachers.
Camila now 7 years old, entered elementary school
with a very high academic standard and the best memories
of her 1st school. Greta, my second daughter is a
Kindergartener and is about to finish the complete
Montessori cycle. There has not been a day that they did
not want to go to school. I am completely satisfied that
we made the right choice. The most important thing, for
us, is that the teachers do their work with love,
patience and dedication.
Montessori American School has all the requirements that
parents are looking for when choosing a loving, caring
and at the same time stimulating and rich learning
environment for their children.
I highly recommend this school.
I have my third son and we are definitely looking
forward to enrolling him at the Montessori American
School. We want him to enjoy learning as much as his
sisters, and truly love school from the beginning.
Love,
Troncoso Family
We believe that everything
that starts with a great beginning has a better ending &
we couldn’t have picked a better school for the
beginning of our boy’s education.
They both have had a great foundation and are on their
way to excellence because of Montessori American School.
Mrs. Edith and all teachers at Montessori American are
wonderful and have taught our boys so much, for that we
are truly grateful.
Carla & David Martinez
David & Diego Martinez
Sending our
daughter to the Montessori American School was the best
thing we could have done for her. Our daughter has
learned how to be independent and make decisions that
have a positive outcome. As she grows, she continues to
follow a pattern of excellence that was taught to her by
the teachers and staff at the Montessori American
School. The Montessori American School's standards
surpassed our expectations and made learning a truly
wonderful experience for our daughter.
Charles and Jenny Vigil, parents of Jeniffer.
People like you and your staff make this world a better
place for us and our children.
Miriam and David Bukaroff, parents of Oscar, Danya
and Nathan.
The things that he learned, the fun that he had, all
wrapped in a warm, wholesome, welcoming environment will
always stay as a beautiful memorable experience for him
and for us. To you we will always be thankful.
Tagumpay and Elena Sacamay, parents of Timothy.
This Montessori environment truly provided an excellent
learning experience and solid foundation for higher
grades.
Judith Apides, mother of Elyse and Matthew.
It is one of the best schools and one of the best
choices we could have made for our children.
Dr.Manuel and Patricia De la Mora, parents of Manolo
and Rodrigo.
The teachers and administrators are dedicated, loving
and caring. I cannot say enough great things about this
school. Learning with the Montessori program was a huge
advantage for our child. ¡My son thought learning the
states by the age of 4 was a game!
Laurine Ball, mother of Matthew.
Thank you and your staff for doing your job well; for
shaping positively the educational future of our
children, for encouraging them to think on their own,
for guiding their curiosity in discovering new things
and experiences, always with love and respect.
Josh and Flora Balin, parents of Aaron and Nadia.
Thank you so much for the wonderful program you
coordinate at the Montessori American School. We truly
appreciate the terrific job you do with the kids,
teachers and entire program.
John and Julie De Rubes, parents of Brian, Sean and
Frank.
The Montessori American School was a great experience
for our family. Our daughter really excelled with
exposure to the program's wonderful teachers.
Luis and Elizabeth Valderrama, parents of Elizabeth.
