Foothill Progressive Montessori Preschool

I cannot say enough to praise the wonderful Principal, Directors, and Teachers at FPMS for how well they have taken care of my 15 month old son these past 3 months. We were referred to this Montessori by our former home daycare that closed at the end of 2018.

Transitioning a 1-yr old to a new school is not easy and I was worried how my son would adjust. The professionals at this school showed my son sooo much love that he adapted very quickly, and developed an instant connection with Mrs. Shamalie (Director).
This school is extremely meticulous, clean, and organized. The day includes and consists of learning, playing, napping, reading, crafts and socializing.

Their hours of operation are designed for working parents (7am-6pm), they are a lifesaver and it is very rare to find schools that offer these hours of operation.
The highlight of my day is picking up my son so I can see what new words, signs, or facial expressions he's learned. He has learned so much here and his development surprise me everyday!
We are beyond excited to have our son attending the infant/toddler school and transfer to the K-2nd school for many years to come.

I trust them 100% and have total peace of mind while I'm at work. I would recommend FPMS to anyone.

Foothill Progressive is a wonderful facility for kids. The staff is professional, and loving to all of the children in their care. This facility offers a top notch curriculum, after school care, sports activities, and even a pool for summer time fun.

My daughters received an exceptional start to their formal education at Foothill Progressive Montessori School. Ms Joseph, Kusum, Shamalie, Isquii, Alex provided an exceedingly robust level of learning. As a result, my daughters are well ahead of their peers at their new public school which is considered the best in California. My daughters thirst for knowledge is insatiable and I have Foothill Progressive to thank for that. Thank you Ms Joseph for providing a phenomenal environment for our future generations to be the best they can be.

Our school has provided education in the La Canada Flintridge community for 30 years and operates out of two locations. The school maintains a high academic program balanced with activities to develop practical skills, respect for self, and tolerance for diversity in a nurturing and safe environment.

Students are taught in the Montessori method of education - Pre-School through Grade 2. Thereafter, they gradually transition to Mainstream teaching using California Recommended Standard text books and take the Stanford Achievement Test (10th Edition) in the spring of each year. Mainstream learning continues till Grade 8 when the student leaves our school to further his/her education in the school of his/her choice.

Our school thrives on small class sizes - "Small is Beautiful" - where a child finds himself/herself and leaves us ready to fit into the larger world.
