  Our child was already attending the school during the 2025–2026 school year, and in May 2026 we completed re-enrollment for the upcoming 2026–2027 school year. As part of that process, we paid over $2,100, which represented our child’s first month’s tuition for the upcoming school year beginning in August 2026. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen family circumstances, we made the difficult decision to enroll our child in a school closer to home. This decision was not made lightly but was determined to be in our family’s best interest. In June 2026—just one month after making the payment and approximately two months before the start of the new school year—we contacted the school to explain the situation and request a refund of the prepaid tuition. While I understand that schools must have policies in place, I was disappointed by the complete lack of flexibility or willingness to work with our family despite the circumstances and the significant advance notice provided. This was not a last-minute withdrawal after classes had begun, nor was it a request for a refund after the school year had begun. The payment had been made in May for tuition covering August, and the refund was requested in June, well before the start of the school year. However, the school was not willing to issue any refund. What makes this especially difficult is that the payment was not simply a registration fee or a traditional enrollment deposit—it was an entire month’s tuition totaling more than $2,100 for a month of school that had not yet occurred. Given that we notified the school approximately two months before the start date, I had hoped there would be some consideration, understanding, or willingness to work with our family. Instead, the response was strictly policy-driven, with no accommodation offered despite the advance notice and the fact that our child would not be utilizing any services associated with that prepaid tuition. In my opinion, the unwillingness to consider any accommodation despite the circumstances and the substantial advance notice reflects a business practice that prioritizes rigid adherence to policy over partnership with families. For a school that emphasizes community, compassion, and family values, this response was both surprising and disappointing. I would encourage prospective families to carefully review all enrollment, re-enrollment, cancellation, and refund policies before making any financial commitment. Families should be aware that even prepaid tuition for a future school year is nonrefundable, regardless of how much advance notice is given or whether circumstances change before the school year begins. A school’s values are reflected not only in its educational program but also in how it supports and partners with families during challenging transitions. While others may have positive experiences, ours left us feeling disappointed and unsupported during what was already a difficult decision for our family. My hope in sharing this review is not simply to express frustration, but to encourage the school to consider a more reasonable and compassionate approach when long-standing families encounter unexpected life changes. A willingness to work collaboratively with families—particularly when substantial notice is provided and school year has not started—would go a long way toward fostering trust, goodwill, and a stronger sense of community among the families it serves.

  We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful experiences our daughter, Lola, has had at Fountainhead Montessori School. From the moment she started at 18 months, the nurturing environment and dedicated teachers have played a pivotal role in her growth and development. As we prepare to move to Southern California, we reflect on the countless moments that made her time here so special. Each teacher has not only imparted knowledge but has also instilled a love of learning and curiosity in Lola. Their patience, creativity, and unwavering support have helped her blossom in ways we never imagined. We will carry the memories of her laughter and discoveries with us, and we will forever appreciate all that the staff has done to nurture her spirit. Thank you, Fountainhead Montessori, for being such an integral part of our family's journey. You will always hold a special place in our hearts! With love and gratitude, Mike and Jessica Frugaletti

  It has been a wonderful experience for my 4-year-old daughter, Alice. This is our second year at Fountainhead Montessori School of Danville, and we couldn’t be happier. The educational approach is excellent, and the social environment helps children grow with confidence and kindness. Alice is always happy at drop-off and pick-up, which says a lot about how much she enjoys being there. Communication between staff and parents is very good, and everyone is always willing to help and keep us informed. We truly appreciate the care and dedication of the whole team. Highly recommended!

  Our daughter has been at Fountainhead in Danville for a year, and we're overall quite happy with it! She is happy to go each morning. She does Spanish immersion in the afternoons which she loves - and has really learned some Spanish! Also really enjoys 'science class' weekly, and does a LOT of art. The school is very convenient for us, as it has very few closures and offers longer hours when needed. We do wish that they used Brightwheel for easier quick communication with teachers, photos, etc., but teachers have been happy to talk when we've asked.

  My twin toddlers began attending Fountainhead at the age of 2, and the experience has been exceptional. As first-time parents sending our kids away for 5-8 hours a day, we were naturally apprehensive. However, the teachers made the transition remarkably smooth, showing incredible care and understanding. We've noticed a significant, positive change in their behavior and growth. They're learning so much each day, which has been wonderful to witness. I highly recommend Fountainhead for parents seeking a nurturing and supportive environment for their little ones

  My daughter started there this fall and absolutely loves it. Her teachers are so wonderful and caring and she always looks forward to going to school. I really appreciate how responsive the site director is and how the teachers are so in tune with your child. Overall we are very happy with Fountainhead and feel confident she will be well prepared for kindergarten next year.
