Kinder Academy Montessori

I still remember touring through different preschools and meeting Ms. Sophia for the first time.  I was so impressed by the way she engaged us as parents while also masterfully engaging my 3yo in an activity.  Who knew such a gem was hiding in plain sight in an unassuming street in San Mateo!

Having been blessed to have my three children graduate from Kinder Academy, I only have one regret:  I wish we had a fourth so that our time at Kinder Academy does not have to end.

Teachers at Kinder Academy are genuinely caring and thoughtful toward each child.  My children have learned so much, not only academics (solar systems and biology anyone?) but also how to share and be kind.  I always had 100% confidence leaving my children at Kinder Academy every morning, knowing they will have an amazing day filled with learning and fun.

We met so many wonderful families through Kinder Academy, and my daughter still counts friends she made here as some of her best friends even years later.  We are so lucky our kids grew up in Kinder Academy.  It truly is a gem of a school for children.

We love KinderAcademy Montessori.  Our son entered the school during the COVID time when we both worked from home.  Like many parents experienced, it was very difficult to take care of a 3 year old while working.  We were glad we toured the school a year ahead and KinderAcademy was our top choice for pre-school even before pandemic.  We know the school is super clean and well organized.  In case you are wondering, during the COVID period, all COVID protocols are followed strictly to ensure everyone is safe.  This school is the best I heard.  We are comfortable sending our little one to KinderAcademy and happy we did so early.  He has been there for two years and is more than ready for kindergarten this fall.  He learned so much in two years.  He can take care of his own hygiene, keeping mask on in the public and washing hands often.  He knows all kindergarten materials, ABC, phonics, addition, even subtraction and multiplication.  He also had fun and learn new skills making all kinds of art works and dancing and singing.  He loves going to KinderAcademy playing with his friends and teachers every morning.  Thank you, Ms. Sophia, Ms. Linda, Ms. Jenny, and Ms. Marilyn for giving so much love to and keep nurturing our little one.

My son recently started attending full time, and he is so happy there! He cried the 2nd-4th day at drop off, but the staff was so patient with him. They helped redirect his attention and he ended up transitioning well. This place is a total gem!

Kinder has been such a nurturing, safe, educational place for our 2 little people. Now that my daughter has graduated to TK (my son is still there) I appreciate even more how amazing the teachers - Ms. Sophia, Ms. Jenny, Ms. Linda - are. They have all been long-times educators at Kinder unlike some other school that might have teachers cycling through. Pre pandemic I may have factored in more environmental factors like playground size or design aesthetic into my decision; but after being at Kinder I would absolutely prioritize the warmth and experience of the teachers and how they teach the children to respect and relate to each other and to them and Kinder is top notch on all these fronts!
