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.

Recent parent reviews

  • All three of my children attended from as early as they could start, we love the CDM family. The level of care, attention, interaction, education, and confidence building is unmatched. Wish they could stay all the way through high school. Great parent community too! Thank you Carol and Julie for all you do.

  • CDM is the best community of parents, teachers, and volunteers. Everyone shows up for the students. I feel great dropping my daughter off for the day which is such a relief compared to previous experiences. The teachers truly love the students and create a safe, loving, inspiring place for the kids to learn about the world and themselves while treating each other with respect.

  • The absolute best!

    Katelyn KeeneAug 3, 2025

  • We feel so lucky to have been part of the Country Day Montessori community for the past two years! Both of our children thrived here — they were loved, supported, and challenged in all the best ways. The teachers are incredibly nurturing and truly understand early childhood development. Our kids learned so much during their time here — not just academically, but socially and emotionally, too. They’ve grown into curious, confident, and kind little humans who are more than ready for TK and kindergarten, and we credit so much of that to their Montessori foundation at Country Day. We’ll always be grateful for the calm, joyful environment this school provided and all the beautiful ways it helped shape our kids’ early years. Highly, highly recommend!

  • Our son attended this preschool for three wonderful years, and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience. The teachers are truly amazing—caring, patient, and deeply dedicated to each child’s growth. It’s been such a nurturing and joyful place for our son to learn and thrive. While we’re sad to be moving on, we’re leaving with full hearts and so many happy memories. Thank you for everything!

  • This preschool is Montessori based and absolutely fantastic. The kids are encouraged to work independently on their jobs (Counting beads, letters, pouring, cutting - a lot is considered fun and playing, but there is a more academic basis) but also the older children help out the younger ones. The kids are indoors as well as they spend plenty of side outside (Weather permitting) The staff is incredible - they support the emotional side (let's make some friends, help de-escalate strong emotions, cuddles if needed) teach to the academic side (but it's not intense, they follow the childs lead, and they realize play is a solid foundation of a long school career) Honestly, there is not a school that fits every child. I highly encourage you to take a tour of several Montessori schools (or just preschools in general) and find the for that works for your kids and family. For my son, this was the best fit hands down. The staff is amazing, we couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Country Day.
