This school has been the most amazing space for my child to learn and grow. It feels incredibly safe and secure—and I am able to rest at ease knowing that my daughter is in wonderful hands. The teachers and staff are all incredibly supportive, communicative, and knowledgeable. They also work with low-income families and take outside subsidies, making it a very inclusive and accessible space for all. I highly recommend this school to anyone in the area that is looking for their child to have a rich Montessori education. As a mother who attends UCSD full-time, while also juggling a full time job, LJMS has helped provide me the support for our family to truly launch. My daughter has made incredible friends here, attended wonderful field trips, and has learned so much! It is clear that the teachers uphold the children to a high Montessori standard, while still being extremely warm and caring. The environment has been excellent for my daughter who has an incredibly active mind and wants to be involved in all aspects of learning. I have seen her blossom and bloom – and at 4.5 years old she is now incredibly independent. She has learned Spanish, how to sew, arithmetic, and so much more!
