  My daughter recently attended this school from the age of 2 until she turned 5, and I truly couldn’t be happier with our experience. The entire staff has been incredibly kind, caring, and supportive throughout these past three years. They always made my daughter feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. Watching her grow from a shy little toddler into a confident, kind, and knowledgeable little girl has been amazing, and I know this school played a huge part in that journey. She learned so much academically, socially, and emotionally, and I couldn’t be more proud of everything she accomplished. The teachers genuinely care about their students and create such a positive environment for them to thrive. Thank you to everyone at the school for your patience, dedication, and love. We will always be grateful for the wonderful memories and strong foundation you gave my daughter. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a place where their child will be cared for and encouraged to reach their full potential.

  This is for the Indiana campus but reviews are turned off for that one. I was really excited for my daughter to be here- but had so many disappointments throughout the year. First of all it really didn’t feel very “Montessori”. Lots of worksheets sent home for homework, and typical school activities. On rainy days and minimum days they would watch movies (which it’s expensive to be watching Disney movies!) there were several mishaps throughout the year including the school being shut down for multiple weeks due to a flood leaving us scrambling for child care, as well as an incident where other children harmed my child while they were supposed to be supervised. I know the teachers and staff care but honestly was disappointed. Would not recommend .

  I’m really grateful my family found RIVMA. My child has been attending RIVMA starting summer of 2022. They have been flourishing ever since. Teachers and Staff are very communicative and are always eager to help out students and parents. This school channels inclusivity in and outside of the classroom. 10/10

  Hands down, best school in the Inland Empire! I went here when I was younger and just had to bring my son as well. After leaving Riverside Montessori Academy I went to public and was always the top of my class. My son has been attending since 2013. He is now a 4th grader, but his Math is at a 6th-7th grade level. As an educator myself, I know how important it is to make learning fun. All the teachers and staff at RMA are passionate and energetic. The Pachappa campus has such a large grass plot too! It is beautiful. The school is run smoothly by a highly-qualified Executive Director, Dr. Chandrapala who is personable and so professional. Thank you Riverside Montessori Academy for all that you do!

  My children currently go here and it is great. They have hours and rates that work with my work schedule. The teachers and staff are kind, patient, and focused on each child. I feel my children are safe in their care. I regularly compare my children's academics to other kids in public school to make sure it is still worth it. The program at this school is so advanced that it blows my mind. My kindergartner is an amazing reader and mathematician. The school really tries to make sure the parents and students are listened to and are constantly striving to make the program even more well rounded. Both my kids have been going there since they were 2.5 yrs and now my oldest is 8. The Christmas program mentioned costs money only because they have to rent a hall. It is a very impressive production that they put on and it gets better every year. It includes catered lunch and the kids really look forward to it every year. They all have the confidence to perform and then love to celebrate by sitting with their family and friends afterwards. The school pictures someone complained about also is optional. I like the convenience of the Christmas photos that they offer. I send them to school in their Christmas wear and they can take a nice buddy photo that I can give to my family. I get them in time to include as a nice gift for the grandparents and my mantle. They offer Spring photos as well but I opt out of those and it is no big deal. This school provides such a great foundation that I know my children will be able to go anywhere after and do well. My children go year round. The summer program they offer still keeps them moving forward on their academics but also throws in fun activities. My kids really love it. It is a very close community feel. The kids can recognize every other kids parents and always announce it and say hello and goodbye. I highly recommend this school, especially for preschool. Once your kid starts in preschool, you wont want them to leave. Mrs. Deepika is an amazing teacher! She is ground zero for getting your child ahead for the rest of their lives. I recommend googling what the Montessori Method is and then you will only want your little one taught that way. They are nurtured to be well educated, considerate, and independent minds. I'm a fan.
