Licensing visits on record

California records 0 routine inspection visits and no visits prompted by a complaint to GARFIELD MONTESSORI SCHOOL.

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.

  • We had a wonderful experience with the summer school program. My daughter truly enjoyed every day she spent there. She made many new friends, learned so many new things, and always came home excited to share what she had experienced. The school provides a beautiful, clean, and safe environment where children can learn and grow with confidence. What impressed us the most was how caring, patient, and attentive the teachers were with every child. They genuinely take the time to understand each child’s needs and make them feel loved and supported. I also highly recommend their Montessori approach and bilingual (English and Mandarin) education. It’s a wonderful combination that encourages independence, curiosity, and language development from an early age. We are very grateful for such a positive experience and would highly recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing and high-quality early childhood education.

  • We absolutely love Garfield Montessori! This is a true Montessori school and we are so happy we moved our child into their program. The teachers are so kind and supportive, they are truly invested in the development, health and happiness of their students. Our child is excited to go to school every day and is sad to leave - a sign that he is truly well cared for and supported while at school. We have seen such growth in our child's development, both mentally and emotionally and that is in no small part to the great work of the teachers at Garfield. We consider ourselves so lucky to be a part of this community and are so grateful for Ms. Hayley, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Leiwei and the whole staff!!

  • Garfield Montessori School has been a wonderful experience for our family. Our daughter has been attending since it opened in December 2025, after we made the decision to leave another Montessori program that did not meet our expectations. From the start, we were pleasantly surprised to find that Garfield offers a Chinese immersion environment alongside the Montessori curriculum, which has been an incredible added benefit. What stands out most is the genuine care and enthusiasm each teacher shows toward the students. The positive energy in the classroom is obvious, and it creates an environment where children feel supported and excited to learn. Communication with parents is also excellent We receive consistent weekly updates that clearly outline what the students are working on and learning. We have seen meaningful growth in our daughter, both academically and personally. She enjoys school so much that she has asked to extend her day to the all-day program, which speaks volumes. It has been especially rewarding to see her bring her learning home—singing songs in Chinese and even teaching us to count. Beyond academics, the school does a great job balancing structured learning with practical life skills like meal setup and cleanup, while also fostering a strong sense of community where students support and learn from one another. Overall, Garfield Montessori has exceeded our expectations, and we are very happy to have found such a nurturing and well-rounded environment for our child.

  • Garfield Montessori School has exceeded my expectation by far! This is my son's first school ever in his life and they have taken such amazing care of him in all aspects. As a first time mom, I was very anxious about having my 2 year old away go to school with new environment not knowing how he would do and feel. Miss Hayley and Miss Jessica helped my son feel safe and transitioned him into the classroom with warm welcome. They communicate very well with how he adjusted. The learning materials and the level of education this school gives is wonderful. My son would come home talking about his day with excitement, especially about his friends and what he sang and learned at circle time. They helped my son with his social skills and now he has no issues interacting with other kids whether it is at school or making friends in public.

  • This is a very supportive, professional, and caring place for children. The teachers are respectful of every child and provide so much care and love in their daily work. They also pay close attention to children’s emotional development and highlight real-life skills that help kids build strong concentration, inner confidence, and a sense of responsibility. The topics they teach and the activities they organize are varied, detail-oriented, and high quality. My child truly enjoys going to school and has been with them for more than three years. We really appreciate all the care and love from the teachers. Highly recommended!

  • We absolutely love Garfield Montessori School! Our child has been with Ms. Hayley and Ms. Liwei since daycare and is now in preschool. Even though our commute became longer, we chose to stay — that’s how much we appreciate and trust these amazing teachers. Their care, patience, and genuine love for the children truly shine through every day. Since attending, our child has become more focused during work time and has made wonderful progress in emotional regulation. Most importantly, he is excited to go to school every single day, which means everything to us as parents. We feel incredibly grateful to have found Garfield Montessori and these wonderful teachers. Knowing our child is loved, supported, and happy at school gives us such peace of mind. We truly feel lucky to be part of this wonderful school community. 💛
