South Bay Montessori School

My both kids went here, very friendly and caring staff, great new facility, reasonable fee.. great value

PERFECT MONTESSORI SCHOOL IN SOUTH BAY, LOS ANGELES! With so many options for schooling/daycare, we are really glad we choose the South Bay Montessori!

Our daughter has been attending this school since she was 19 months, she's now 3 years and 4 months old. It has been a pleasure writing those tuition checks each month because our baby girl has really soared here!
The staff of woman really deeply care for the children and the job that they do. For drop off's and picks up the staff is always so welcoming and helpful. We have had not ONE single ISSUE with anyone or anything while attending here. We have never had a compliant, not once!

The school hours and set up are perfect. We could send our daughter to school early mornings with breakfast and she would get help eating it.

The curriculum is fantastic, our daughter comes home singing songs and doing things she's learned at school; putting away her plate after eating, laying down place mat, knowing the continents on the world map! They have generous amounts of play time during the day and upload pictures on an app for us parents to see what are kids are up to during the day.

Most importantly I cannot express our gratitude to this school staying OPEN during the PANDEMIC. The teachers and staff that were willing to work and watch our children during the most uncertain time of our generation really says alot about this school. Thank you Ms. Mary for keeping this school alive!

I love this place!  My baby, Atlas, is in the youngest class as he's 20 months.  I like that there is a curriculum for the babies to learn.  I've brought some of his little art projects home and hung them up! There are many things great about this place: it's new, they keep it extremely clean, the staff is very nice, the teachers are great with the kids, and everyone there seems authentically joyful. My wife and I toured many places in the South Bay before choosing this place.  We're extremely happy with the choice.

My kid is still coming here and I couldn’t be happier! 11.23.2020

Tour of the school was late. Owner Mary was on her cell phone yelling at her son while we walked in... The Teacher pulled us aside and said it was their last week at the school at to visit other Montessori nearby as this school is run without care for the kids. No sand in playground and MONTHLY TUITION IS over $1,500!!!

Location is off of a very Busy Street.

Owner Mary  is very rude and condescending to the staff and to other children.

Price of tuition is very high. We went to Tour other schools nearby and the Monthly Tuition was more than 40% with Staff that have been with the school for over 10 years.

Very hard to turn in during the morning drop off.
Overall - 2 star Rating is a More than Kind Rating for this School that is a Glass House - Looks pretty on the outside, inside is very dark, and bathroom is not stocked and always empty of toilet paper.

I don't recommend this school. Their playground is flanked by apartments that are 2 and 3 story high. Not safe for kids playing in the back.

After leaving this school, I looked them on Google and Not surprise to read the Staff's Review on Next Door.

We loved our time at Southbay Montessori. Our son had Ms Monica for pre-k and she is absolutely the best! He thrived in her class and was excited to go to school every morning. We kept him at the school through kindergarten and he continued to excel. Now in 1st grade (at public school), he is testing well above grade level in reading and has a passion for learning and we attribute this to the education he received there. Highly recommend South Bay Montessori. Ms Evien the director is amazing. She is super responsive and caring. If they offered higher grade levels we&#39;d still be there.

Our daughter attended SBM from 18 mos to 5 yrs old and we are so grateful for the care and love she received from the teachers and the community. We&#39;ve met such caring and attentive teachers over the years who guided her through major milestones such as potty training, learning to hold conversations, reading, writing, and math, and she&#39;s also participated in a wide range of extracurricular activities such as dance, soccer, and yoga. <br><br>The way they handled the COVID pandemic was impressive and reassuring, quickly implementing safety protocols in line with the health dept, with relatively low rates of exposure and classroom closures. We were SO thankful our child was not in the public school system at this time. <br><br>We unfortunately had to move away from the area for Kindergarten but SBM staff will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you Ms. Evien, rockstar program director, Ms. Monica, Ms. Veronica, Ms. Giselle, Ms. Theresa, Ms. Lea and so many others that I&#39;m forgetting for caring for our daughter with so much love!
