Tassajara Montessori School - In our preschool/kindergarten program, we implement the Montessori philosophy using age appropriate materials. This is accomplished in a comfortable, nurturing home setting. The prepared environment enables the child to learn through exploration and discovery. The classroom has several sections such as practical life, sensorial, geography, science, math, language, art, and music, The goal is for the children to have fun and become prepared with life long skills as well as independent, confident and have a high self esteem.
My family and I have an immense amount of gratitude for Tassajara Montessori and Ms. Mona. Ms. Mona came highly recommended from past families I know, and it was their experiences that made me feel comfortable in giving a home based school a try. Their teenagers still rave about Ms. Mona and fondly remember their time with her.
Our 3yo started during the pandemic, and Ms. Mona went above and beyond to ensure the safety of the children and the teachers. It was an additional testament to how dedicated she is to her students. My son always felt welcomed and cared for, and during his 2yrs with the school he learned how to read, write, and many other unexpected advanced topics such as the 7 continents and how a plant grows. The small ratio of children to teachers and the individualized attention puts this school at the top of the list for me. Ms. Mona was always available and forthcoming with involving my husband and I in our son's progress, and we've felt consistently confident and supported with her skillset. I know these initial years have truly helped set our son up for success in Kindergarten, since he's already familiar with so much of the educational content.
I highly recommend Tassajara Montessori and Ms. Mona, your family will not regret having your child spend their first school years here. I hope to send another one of our family members here in the future!
Tassajara Montessori School holds a special place in my heart as both of my sons, Sanjit and Diljit, attended this exceptional home-based institution for a remarkable three years. Under the extraordinary leadership of Ms. Mona, the teacher owner, the school provided them with an outstanding Montessori experience that truly shaped their educational journey.
From the moment Sanjit and Diljit started at Tassajara Montessori School, they felt a sense of belonging and comfort within the warm and inviting environment. The thoughtfully designed home-based classrooms created the perfect atmosphere for focused learning and exploration. I witnessed firsthand how my sons became fully engaged in practical life exercises, sensorial exploration, and mathematical concepts, their enthusiasm and joy for learning shining brightly.
What added to the charm of Tassajara Montessori School was the playground located in the back of the house. The well-equipped and safe playground provided my sons with a space to engage in outdoor play, promoting physical activity and social interaction. It was wonderful to see them develop their motor skills and build friendships while enjoying the fresh air and nature.
The personalized attention and individualized approach at Tassajara Montessori School made a significant impact on Sanjit and Diljit's education. With a low student to child ratio, Ms. Mona and her team were able to truly understand their strengths, interests, and learning styles, tailoring their educational experience to meet their unique needs. The dedication and care exhibited by the teachers were truly inspiring and instilled in my sons a deep love for learning.
Not only did Tassajara Montessori School excel in academics, but it also emphasized the importance of holistic development. Art, music, physical education, and other enriching activities were seamlessly integrated into the curriculum, providing Sanjit and Diljit with a well-rounded education that nurtured their creativity, physical well-being, and social development.
Throughout Sanjit and Diljit's time at Tassajara Montessori School, they spoke about Ms. Mona with immense respect. They admired her dedication, patience, and ability to create a supportive and nurturing learning environment. The influence Ms. Mona had on their educational journey is truly remarkable and something they will carry with them for a lifetime.
I would highly recommend Ms. Mona and Tassajara Montessori School to any parent seeking a home-based Montessori education of the highest quality. The combination of personalized attention, thoughtful classroom design, low student to child ratio, emphasis on holistic development, and the addition of a playground made it an unforgettable experience for Sanjit, Diljit, and our family. Tassajara Montessori School truly prepared my sons for a successful educational journey, and I am forever grateful for the positive impact it had on their lives.
Highly recommend! Our daughter has been enrolled for the past two years and next year too. We have seen tremendous growth in her reading, vocabulary and other academic skills. There are wonderful lessons the school engages in on a daily basis. Ms. Mona and her team are great at what they do in creating a fun and collaborative learning environment which keeps the parent involved as well.
Miss Mona is an excellent Montessori teacher. She helps the kids to develop in all sections of life. My daugther's English writing and math skills improved. My daugther started gardening, was more well- mannered and always looked forward to going to school. Miss Mona gives each child individual attention and makes learning fun. I hope to send my second daughter to Miss Mona too.
