  Our son just graduated from the Early Childhood program and was there for the last 2 years. We are so thankful and lucky to have found Yellow Acorn. For the last 2 years, he’s been loved, guided, taught, and nurtured by his incredible teachers as well as the staff. He connected with each of his 3 teachers and would talk about them with admiration and respect. The various developmental programs were so amazing (different languages, music, chess, etc) and he would talk about them constantly. There were lots of opportunities for families to join the class for special activities or projects and birthdays. The facilities are very well kept and updated. Our son especially loved going outside to the bike yard and playgrounds. He made so many friends and memories and while he will miss his time there, our youngest will be joining the school for their toddler program! We can’t wait to see how she grows over the next 3 years there!

  Yellow Acorn has become a home away from home in our family. My son attended the early childhood program for two years before kindergarten, and my daughter has been at the school since 18 months, benefitting from time in both the toddler and early childhood programs. We've watched our children grow developmentally and their curiosity blossom through the varied and thoughtful Montessori curriculum. While we've found the curriculum to be beneficial to them both academically, I think more importantly they feel loved and supported at school by their incredible teachers. There's really something special happening here!

  Both my kids are Yellow Acorn graduates, and we were so lucky to have been a part of this community. Ms Rupa and her teachers are dedicated, patient, and truly focused on the strengths and needs of each child. My kids came home every day, jabbering about what they learned that day and the friends they played with. They follow the true Montessori method, with work cycles, lots of independence around the classroom, and older kids teaching younger kids. The “academic” aspect is tailored 100% to the ability of the child, and both of mine learned math & reading before kindergarten! More importantly, they learned the value of working with their classmates, being curious, not letting setbacks frustrate them, and self confidence. We are so grateful for the Yellow Acorn family and will miss them deeply! ❤️

  I am so happy to have sent my daughter to this preschool for the past two years. She has grown tremendously and learned so many new things during this time. The teachers are incredibly loving, caring, and understanding. A big shout-out to all the hard work they put in to help our children grow and thrive. The head of the school, Ms. Rupa, personally observes every child and thoughtfully decides which class would be best for them to flourish. Ms. Victoria, Mrs. Lillian, Miss. Nene, Mr. Julian, and Miss. Brellein are wonderful. They pay attention to every small detail and make sure the children are learning, happy, and growing. Previously, my daughter was in the toddler class with Ms. Marie, who showered her with love and cared for her selflessly. Mr. Julian has taught music in a way I never thought possible for such young children to learn. Ms. Anu makes the extended hours fun and engaging for the kids. The school's operations team is always prompt in sharing updates, and overall, everything is very well organized and coordinated.

  Our daughter is finishing the 3–5s program at Yellow Acorn Montessori, and I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about this community. Ms. Yesim and Ms. Mona are simply exceptional. They have a rare gift for truly knowing each child, their quirks, their strengths, what they need on a tough day. Our daughter blossomed under their care, and we could see it every single morning in how eagerly she ran through the door. What Yellow Acorn gave our daughter goes far beyond academics. She grew in confidence, in curiosity, and in the simple joy of learning. She came home every day happy and full of things to tell us. That is everything. We are so grateful for the foundation Yellow Acorn has given her, and we will miss this community deeply. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  Our daughter just graduated from the Yellow Acorn Montessori 3–5s program, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better start to her school experience. From the very beginning, it’s been a warm, supportive, and joyful place for her to grow. Ms. Yesim is an incredible teacher: kind, thoughtful, and deeply attuned to each child. She played such an important role in helping our daughter feel safe, seen, and proud of herself. We’ll miss her so much. We’re also so grateful for the steady and thoughtful leadership of Ms. Rupa and Leena. You can feel their care in everything from how the classrooms are run to how they welcome families each morning. It’s clear they truly love what they do. More than anything, Yellow Acorn helped our daughter build confidence and joy. She walked into school every day with a huge smile and came home calm, happy, and full of stories. That sense of belonging and delight is something we’ll always carry with us. Thank you, Yellow Acorn, for giving our daughter such a beautiful foundation.
