California records 0 routine inspection visits and no visits prompted by a complaint to VALLEY OAK MONTESSORI.

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

  • When our son first joined the class, we were naturally a little nervous and didn’t know what to expect. From the very beginning, Ms.Lucy and the staff welcomed our son with so much warmth, patience, and kindness that those worries quickly disappeared. In the beginning he was in 2-3yrs classroom. Now he is sunflower 3-4yrs classroom. As our child moved into different classrooms, we noticed how much he had grown. Over time, we noticed small but meaningful changes—more confidence, more smiles, and a genuine excitement to go to school each day. It’s clear that teachers and staff cares about every child and celebrates even the smallest milestones. They also have very well planned weekly curriculum and monthly theme activity. They have separate classroom based on the kids age. Classroom are big and hygiene and enough space for kids to learn. Teachers are very good, communication with parents are excellent. teachers send detailed daily updates through Brightwheel along with photos and videos throughout the day, so we always feel connected. As parents, there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing our son is in the hands of someone who teaches with both heart and dedication. Thank you, MS.TAN, for making such a positive difference in our son life. We will always be grateful for your care and support. Special thanks to Ms. catherine, for everything she has done for our son. She has not only helped with academics but also taught discipline to him with so much patience and care. She always took the time to share helpful tips and strategies with us on how to encourage our son to communicate and talk more at home.no wonder she has 20+yr experience in teaching.We truly appreciate her kindness and commitment, and we’re so grateful to have had her as a teacher. The management, Ms.Lucy and teachers and staff are always kind, approachable, and communicate well with families. We’ve seen so much growth in our son, both academically and personally, thanks to their hard work and commitment. We are incredibly grateful for everything they do and highly recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing and supportive learning environment.

  • Choosing this Montessori school for my 3-year-old daughter has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. The growth we have seen in her is incredible! They have helped her so much with her speaking and language skills, and she is hitting all the wonderful developmental milestones a 3-year-old should be doing. The teachers are incredibly patient, supportive, and truly care about her progress. I highly recommend this school to any parent!

  • My 3-year-old child is attending the Valley Oak Montessori Preschool that provides a well-structured and supportive learning environment for young children. The individualized attention given to each student contributes to a positive and engaging classroom experience. The program reflects a strong focus on holistic development, supporting not only academic growth but also confidence and independence. There has been noticeable progress in foundational skills such as reading and math over time. Regular updates from the school offer helpful insight into daily activities and student progress, allowing families to stay informed and connected. Overall, it is a thoughtfully run program that would be a good fit for families seeking a balanced and nurturing Montessori-based early education environment.

  • Great school and great teachers. We had our daughter start there at age 3, she is now almost 5 and able to sound out 1 syllable words, knows all the sounds of every letter including the long and short sounds of the vowels, knows her letters by sight, is able to write her name, letters, and numbers. Because of this our daughter was able to pass a kindergarten entrance exam and get admitted to a private elementary school. Thank you so much for all your hard work and for getting my girl ready for her first year at kindergarten next year!

  • Highly recommend! We send our daughter to the other San Jose center and have had a great experience. We really appreciate Ms. Varsha and her entire staff. (P.S. This is a voluntary review, not requested.) I didn’t even know she had opened a new center until a friend mentioned it to us recently.

  • Valley Oak is a fantastic institution. I have had 2 children go through this facility, and they have both grown so much. The staff is very friendly and they truly care about all of their students. The curriculum is both challenging and engaging. I highly recommend valley oak if you want the best for your children.
