Our daughter loves going to school here and especially loves her teachers Ms Cary and Ms Lisa, and the director Ms July. She comes home learning so many new skills and even started speaking mandarin. We are very impressed. As parents we've really appreciated the communication between us and her teachers (thank you for the photos, nap and meal updates) and we feel a part of the curriculum that's being taught. They also have so many fun/special activities such as a petting zoo and the option to enroll in soccer or gymnastics. Could not recommend more and wish she could stay in this class forever :)

My wife and I were looking tirelessly for a Montesorri program for our 2 year old daughter, and we are extremely grateful we found this school. Prior to this, we attended another Montessori program which was not the right fit, and also another program that claimed to be a Montessori, but didn't actually practice Montessori values. Finding the right program is tough! This school really focuses on nurturing their students. My child comes home reciting things she's learned and it's amazing how fast she's growing with her hand skills as well as basic knowledge. I believe that she would not be the same student if we had tried to teach her ourselves at home or attended another program.Ms. July is the director and is highly trained with children, along with our teachers Ms. Kari and Ms. Lisa. The staff do a great job of updating us on what's been going well with our child, and also what needs work. They are non-judgmental and extremely supportive.I highly recommend this school if you are searching for a true Montessori program with teachers that dedicate their full energy and time to cultivating good learning habits for your children.

I enrolled my daughter here when she was 3, and we have had such a wonderful experience! She started kindergarten in a mandarin immersion program this year, and Empire really prepares your little one with a good foundation in both English and Mandarin. I also loved attending the school performances and my little one enjoyed the fun activities and holiday events the school puts together for the kids (petting zoo, Easter egg hunt, pumpkin patch, Halloween treat or treating, art exhibits... just to name some...). The fresh in-house made lunches for the kids are a bonus too (healthy and delicious according to my little one)! And honestly the best part was knowing she was being taught and cared for by a loving staff! Thank you to the staff at Empire (especially Ms. July, Ms. Lydia and Ms. Lori) for making my little one's preschool experience so fun and memorable!

My son went here for 1.5 years. During this time, his Chinese improved so much. I was very impressed. The teachers and director are kind and do their best to help my son succeed. He is awfully shy and they encourage him to be more confident in himself. They have all sorts of activities and events and put on shows for the parents to attend. This is a good preschool.

this place sucks never let your child go here. The staff is so horrible that it is unbelievable. The treated my child like dirt. And it is not worth the money. My kid literally has childhood trauma from this place. If I could I would give this place 0 stars. I am warning you if this looks like a great and happy place to put your child well consider again because this place is probably the most HORRIBLE place to put a child in.

My daughter has been attending Empire since she was 3, and she stayed for one and half years, we had to change her school because we recently moved.My daughter is one of the hard kids because she is has trouble following the group schedules and routines. Her teacher Miss Lydia and others treated her with nothing but patience, love and professionalism.Empire is not one of the big branches preschools, every teacher knows every kid and every kid get the attention he/she needed.In terms of parent-teacher communication, they kept parents informed in timely matter. There are also diversity of celebrations and activities for festivals and special events.It saddens me to have to have my daughter leave Empire. She would definitely miss her teachers and friends. My husband and I are grateful and happy that we made the right choice for having sending her to Empire.

My kid has been going to this preschool for almost 4 months and she loves it. The Director, Ms Julie, and the entire teachers team, recognize each parents and can call out your kid's name right away. Also, they are a team that try their best to help your children to get comfortable at this school. From crying like a pig to "say" that she is going to cry since Friday is teacher's development day, (because of no school to go), my kid has improve drastically, thanks to the caring of the entire teachers team here at Empire Montessori preschool-Fremont. Even we live far, we still drive 25 mins one way to drop off/pick up our kid at this preschool.

Empire Montessori Preschool is the best. Why? I can see that the teachers are passionate and are very caring to every little one. Our Son has been there ever since he was 2 years young. He has made great friends and enjoy every moment of it. Keep it up Empire!

Been here since June 2013 and found the Director Eva to be very caring. Several teachers are very good. My children love the playground and I like the bilingual aspect of the school.
