Stars Montessori Academy is the most amazing school. I feel so privileged and lucky that my three children (4, 2, and 1) have the opportunity to learn from the wonderful staff members at Stars. Their program teaches children Spanish, yoga, cooking, gardening, music, reading, computers, math, writing, and more! They always have additional programs available for parents busy schedules such as soccer and karate. I am an elementary teacher in Oceanside and as a teacher I am so blown away that my four year old can already read complete sentences, speak some Spanish, sound out words, write, and add and subtract numbers within 20. My other younger ones are showing amazing skills and talents and love going to school! This is the best place for any child. I love love love Stars Montessori Academy.

We chose Stars Montessori because of the convenient location, reasonable cost, serene and beautiful campus and very friendly staff and owners. The staff support my son and his budding personality with looking at him as an individual and allowing him to explore his own interests while providing appropriate boundaries. The teachers show love. The environment is calming and not over stimulating. We found out about how important this is with our older son. We knew what we were looking for and Stars was the only Montessori school in our area that provided the philosophy and curriculum of true Montessori. Our preschooler loves his teachers, friends and the opportunities that this school provides. He has been there for over a year now and we have since decided to put our older son in a local free Montessori Elementary Charter school. Here's a great video explaining the difference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcgN0lEh5IA

"Thank you for the care that you and the infant room team provide my Ila! They are so friendly, nice and comforting. I visited many daycare and preschool facilities before choosing Stars, and the quality of other places paled in comparison to your wonderful school. I would totally recommend anyone bring their children to Stars Montessori Academy!" - Liz DiGeronimo

"I did not know much about the Montessori method. As I learned more, I was surprised how it works! Kids were always busy learning and exploring! My son was actually sitting and learning and enjoying!
The teacher found the way to my son, and they became big friends. I have learned a lot from the Montessori professionals at Stars, like how to educate my child and help him to gain social skills and academic knowledge. So the teacher, director and me became a team, and our goal was to educate my child so he could be ready for the public elementary school. I am very happy I brought my son to Stars Montessori, and I thank the talented teachers and dedicated director!" ~Alla & Sasha Martin
