Montessori One Preschool Academy

Mr. Sachin and Ms. Miranda are exceptional educators. My daughter is able to learn and excel in a nurturing yet challenging academic environment where she is guided to use strategies that allow her to access and practice skills above her current grade level. I am beyond pleased with my daughter’s education at Montessori One. Kudos!

Updated Review: Our daughters have attended Montessori ONE for three years now and they are thriving academically and socially. They started in the preschool program and have progressed into the elementary program where we believe they are out-performing state standards. The academy is top-notch from the facilities to the staff and the curriculum. The students are ethnically diverse, which was important to us, and so mature, happy, confident, kind, and inclusive. We appreciate the access to year-long learning with before-care and after-care built into our schedule. Having complete confidence in where, how, and with whom your children are spending their days learning and growing is priceless.

Spring 2016: My son is in the inaugural class at Montessori Elementary after having attended the preschool from age 18 months through Kindergarten (I left my post from nearly 4 years ago attached to this comment).  The Montessori curriculum has been a great fit for him - he is very advanced in both reading and math, and LOVES going to school every day.  We appreciate the small classroom size and believe it allows for truly open communication between parents and teachers on a regular basis which has provided us the opportunity to work alongside the teachers in assisting with our son's educational advancement.
During his Kindergarten year we looked at multiple private schools in Albuquerque, and considered public school as well, and allowed him to spend time at a few schools.  We felt the Montessori classroom was the best fit for him, and have developed a relationship with the staff at Montessori ONE that we didn't feel we could move him from the school.  When we let him voice his opinion about which school he wanted to attend (after we had made the decision to enroll him at Montessori ONE but not told him so), he stated that Montessori ONE was his choice of all the schools he had visited.

FROM 2012: I initially toured this facility when my son was 15 months old, and the director was kind enough to allow me to bring a friend that is a certified Montessori Instructor.  I was just learning about the Montessori theory and was impressed with the willingness of the director and staff to help me learn and understand the theory (as was my friend).  My son transitioned to Montessori ONE from an in-home day care environment at 18 months, and despite severe separation anxiety, his transition was relatively smooth.  At nearly 3 years old now, he is thriving and I continue to feel that the staff are open in communicating his daily routine and helping us with extending aspects of Montessori theory into our home.    IF YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR JUST A DAY CARE or someone that is going to care for your child more than 40 hours/week, this is probably not the place for your child...this is truly an educational facility that offers child care beyond school hours to accommodate working parents, and it does have parent/teacher days, in service days, and normal school "breaks".  If you are parent enough to be involved in helping develop your child's desire to learn, please check this place out and if you don't know anything about it, research or ask the staff how to begin learning about Montessori theory...I believe I am a better mom for it, and my son is living proof!

Montessori One Academy has been wonderful.  Our daughter has attended since she was 18 months old and she is 30 months old now.  It was difficult for me as a parent to leave her and trust a School with her.  But the staff at this school helped me feel very comfortable and confident.  They have taught my daughter so many things and have cared for her with a lot of attention and love.  My daughter was potty trained before she was 2 years old and they helped me to learn tips on how to continue this progress at home.  My daughter's classroom, in the toddler room, has 4 adult teachers which gives her so much one on one attention, it has been great! We are so happy with the director Tina, she is a very intelligent, progressive, caring and a great leader! We recommend this school to all families! They care for your children, they keep them safe, they challenge them and you'll notice that your child will be ahead of many children their age because of the great school they attend.  Our daughter astonishes us daily with how much she has learned and continues to learn.  We are very thankful for this school!

This school is the best Montessori in Albuquerque. It is the only truly accredited school. All the staff have been there for a long time and are truly helpful and care for the children. The building and grounds are immaculate and well organized. Everything has its place. When you walk in you will notice how quiet the school is because the children are on task and enjoy the work they choose to do. I am so grateful that Montessori One exists because I know my son is safe, well-cared for, happy, and truly learning. He has blossomed here and loves to go to school every day. I would recommend this school to all parents.
