What California does not publish here
The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

CMA is a true gem. Their program is academically rigorous, fun and engaging. The school is tidy and organized. My daughter rarely got sick while attending her first year which I credit to their cleanliness. Most importantly, they have the most incredible teachers! You can guarantee your child will be cared for, respected and nurtured in the best way possible. Edited to add: my daughter is able to read independently thanks to CMA!
Juliet EvansOct 25, 2025An amazing Montessori school and amazing family that runs it 💙 spots here used to be hard to come by. Both of our kids went here and felt the love daily, sometimes they didn’t even want to leave which is the best feeling as a parent. They focus on teaching kids how to be independent and respectful which makes our lives as parents trying to do the same much easier when the school also focuses on this. My oldest started kindergarten this year and he’s already well prepared educationally. I highly recommend this school.
amy griffithOct 25, 2024We started sending our little guy here about a year ago. While communication leading up felt light, once we met with Ms Lorena and started to seriously consider going to CMA, there was much more communication. We came to learn that this is because of just how much attention she and the other teachers give the students they already have! While our kiddo started off as the youngest student in his class, he thrived under their care -- making friends, doing projects, and bringing home new pieces of information! He is now tidier at home, practices emotional regulation when he doesn't get his way, and is excited to see his friends at the farmers' market.
Willow IdlewildAug 27, 2024I had two children who attended Children's Montessori Adventure from age 2 until elementary school. My children were in good hands with Ms. Lorena and the staff. My kids were safe, happy and nurtured at this preschool. The program helps children learn how to participate in a structured group setting while also allowing children to select learning activities and move at their own individualized pace. The staff are actively engaged with the children, and the Montessori approach included hands-on, individual and small group activities to practice life skills and gain early math and literacy concepts. When my children got upset, the staff taught them tools to manage their emotions and calm down. There is lots of outdoor play, art, song and dance, and storytime mixed in also! The preschool has two classrooms and a sweet outdoor play area in the backyard. The staff helped with potty training too. We're all done, but if we had another child we would enroll them to Children's Montessori Adventure too!
Karissa Yee FindleyAug 14, 2024Our little guy has been attending Children’s Montessori Adventure since he turned two, and has now been there a little over a year. He loves it. We love it. The teachers are so deeply kind and caring, and they are so supportive of the children. They focus on empowering kiddos to make good choices and helping them learn responsibility. It was actually quite hard for us to get in, but unusually due to the TK expansion they have a couple extra spots this year! If you are looking for a place for your young child to learn and grow I don’t think you can do better than CMA.
Reed IdlewildAug 2, 2024As a former preschool teacher I recommend CMA preschool for families who are looking for a full day program. Both my grandchildren have benefited from the calm, supportive and learning atmosphere there. The staff is excellent and the kids love them. The children are more than ready for Kindergarten as they move on.

What kind of child care licence does CHILDREN'S MONTESSORI ADVENTURE hold?
- California licenses CHILDREN'S MONTESSORI ADVENTURE as a day care center, a category that covers preschool-age children in a centre-based programme. The category comes from the state's own licence record, not from the provider.
How many children can CHILDREN'S MONTESSORI ADVENTURE care for?
- CHILDREN'S MONTESSORI ADVENTURE is licensed for up to 36 children at one time. Licensed capacity is a ceiling set by the state, not a count of current enrolment or of available places.
How often has California inspected CHILDREN'S MONTESSORI ADVENTURE?
- California records 4 inspection visits to CHILDREN'S MONTESSORI ADVENTURE, the most recent on May 27, 2026 and the earliest on record March 10, 2022. The state publishes the dates of these visits but not what they found, so this count reflects licensing activity, not results. Read the findings themselves in California's own facility search.
Has California visited CHILDREN'S MONTESSORI ADVENTURE in response to a complaint?
- California records no complaint-driven visits to CHILDREN'S MONTESSORI ADVENTURE. That means no concern prompted a visit on the public record, which is not the same as a clean inspection history: the state does not publish what its visits found.
Who holds the licence for CHILDREN'S MONTESSORI ADVENTURE?
- The licence is held by LORENA R. ALEJANDRE. California lists the licensee separately from the facility name, so the two often differ. The facility is in Alameda County.
