We enrolled our son Emery at Beyond Montessori in January 2023, and from day one, it has been a remarkable experience. Emery has grown so much emotionally and academically, thanks to the nurturing environment provided by Beyond Montessori.The School Director’s expertise and genuine care for each child are evident in every interaction. She has a magical way of connecting with kids, fostering a love for learning that is truly inspiring. All teachers are loving and patient: Ms Emma, Ms Paige, Ms Li and Ms Amy. My son loves Mr Anthony, too. He is always there for the kids and takes great photos during school events.One of the things we love most about Beyond Montessori is the variety of meaningful and fun events throughout the year. From the heartwarming Mother’s Day tea ceremony to the joyful Father’s Day celebrations and festive Christmas parties, each event fosters a sense of community and belonging.Moreover, we're thrilled with the diverse language offerings at Beyond Montessori. Emery is not only learning English but also Chinese and Spanish, opening doors to cultural understanding and global perspectives at a young age.Beyond Montessori is more than just a daycare; it's a place where learning is a joyful journey filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities. We wholeheartedly recommend Beyond Montessori to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their child's early education. Thank you, Beyond Montessori, for enriching our son's life in so many meaningful ways!

We love the whole team here! The teachers, administration team, and the director here are accommodating and open-minded. The director, Sophia, is amazing! Both of my kids (daughters/son) have learned so much throughout the years.

As time goes on, thanks to the nurturing environment provided by the dedicated teachers and their fierce leader and cofounder, Ms Sophia, at Beyond Montessori. The school offers a well-rounded curriculum that focuses not only on academics but also on the holistic development of each child.One of the standout features of Beyond Montessori is their multilingual approach. Our daughter has had the incredible opportunity to learn English, Mandarin, and Spanish, which has greatly expanded her linguistic abilities and cultural awareness. The teachers are not only fluent in these languages but also skilled at creating engaging and interactive language learning experiences.The classrooms are thoughtfully designed and equipped with Montessori materials that encourage hands-on exploration and independent learning. Our daughter has flourished in this environment, developing a love for learning and a strong sense of autonomy. The small class sizes ensure that each child receives individual attention and guidance, fostering their growth and confidence.Moreover, the school's emphasis on fostering social skills and emotional intelligence has had a significant impact on our daughter's development. The teachers create a warm and inclusive atmosphere where children are encouraged to collaborate, communicate, and respect one another. The regular group activities and projects promote teamwork and cooperation, laying a strong foundation for future social interactions.As parents, we appreciate the open and transparent communication between the school and the families. The staff at Beyond Montessori are approachable, responsive, and genuinely care about the well-being of each child. We have always felt comfortable reaching out with any questions or concerns and have received timely and helpful responses.In terms of facilities, Beyond Montessori provides a safe, clean and stimulating environment for the children. The outdoor play area is well-maintained and offers various activities to encourage physical exercise and exploration.Overall, It has been an incredible journey witnessing our daughter's growth and development at this exceptional preschool.

It's been 1 year since enrolling my child at Beyond Montessori in Dublin. He started at 3 years old and has flourished! I already had this place bookmarked since we moved, and it was evident that this is a place committed to providing high-quality education and care for children from the moment I toured.First and foremost, the staff at Beyond Montessori are truly exceptional. They are not only highly experienced but also show a passion for this industry and ensure each child feels nurtured and supported. The director holds a high bar for quality to develop this wonderful early childhood program.The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, incorporating the principles of Montessori education to foster independence, curiosity, and a love for learning. I was pleasantly surprised when 3 year old wanted to teach me about polygons and odd-even numbers!Beyond Montessori also excels in creating a safe, clean, and engaging environment. Having managed to get through the pandemic with no closures for a childcare center is definitely not an easy feat!I also love their outdoor space! (Especially, because we don't have a yard ourselves.) My toddler talks about the school's garden and growing plants/veggies. Although he often comes home with dirt under his fingerails and on his shirt, I love the exposure to nature under the tall redwood trees.Lastly, the cultural and language (English, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish) benefits are truly the icing on the cake. I love that Beyond is welcoming of families from all cultural backgrounds. The program leads from a cultural foundation centered around Confucius matched with Maria Montessori's philosophy to create a high-quality and unique experience for your child.

My daughter has been attending Beyond Montessori since she was 2. She is now 3.5. We love it so much here that we enrolled our son a year in advance to ensure that he would have a spot when he turns 2. We originally toured the school before my daughter was born. My husband and I were so excited about the curriculum that we enrolled her at 6 months for a spot when she turned 2. Now, a year and a half after she started there, we know we definitely made the right choice. Ms Sophia is passionate about teaching, and she works hard at developing her staff. We have seen our daughter progress from a 2 year old who was still learning to communicate with words to coming home singing Chinese songs. When I talked to Ms. Sophia about reinforcing the Chinese lessons at home, she gave me lesson books and learning tools, and guided me on how I should teach them to my daughter at home. We are definitely planning on keeping both our kids there. Even when they transition to elementary school, we hope to continue taking them there for after school program.
