My son has been going to this school for 2 years now. Ever since we met the owner and teachers at this school we were impressed with how much individual attention is given not only to my son, but to all children and in the same way. When I ask my son "what did you do at school today" his eyes start to shine and all I hear is: "I learned about a new role model and artist and mommy I love my school and friends and teachers and I want to be the best role model". His learning progress impresses us every day and we are so very proud of him and his desire to be a good person. Thank you, Robin Hood!

Love, love, love this school!!!! I was not very sure about the location first! But don't let that discourage or fool you! Inside you will find the most lovely and homy place you could ever envision! Not only warm but SOOO clean. I have toured many schools and am impressed with everything. Before I enrolled my son, I sat in for an observation and found myself in the most precious world - where children scrub and polish and serve you cheese. Very polite and well manered children! Most loving teachers! We are very happy to have found this place!

The reviews we read about this school helped us tremendously with our search. We were looking for THE school where teachers observed what our daughter enjoyed and needed for a safe, fun and independent growth. The director took so much time explaining the school's philosophy; no other school has done that! We observed the classrooms in the mornings and in the afternoons and found the daily schedule to be very organized and structured, yet fun. Our daughter loves her new school, teachers and friends and we feel very blessed.

We tried very hard to reach them under the posted phone number. Their new phone number is (949)364 6342. We found their website very informativeand helpful!!!!! After finally reaching them we understand they just moved to Mission Viejo and have already updated their information with Yahoo but these changes take time. The plaza where they are located is under major renovations and construction. Once you pass that you will find an amazing and warm place inside. Greatly renovated classrooms, very clean and cute bathrooms. Impressive!!! Very professional and caring staff members. We are happy we tried so hard to find them and decided to join this new program.

Our overall experience with Robin Hood Montessori School exceeded our expectations. Prior to choosing to work with Robin Hood we toured several Montessori Schools in the area. We love Robin Hood for its originality. We respect the cohesiveness of the relationship between school and home. We can honestly say that our child has been drenched in love, understanding, knowledge and social awareness.

We toured this school and are extremely excited to have been selected for their waiting list. The tour was very impressive; the director takes so much time to explain every step in their teaching.
Make sure you decide fast as they have limited capacity and LONG waiting list. They conduct several interviews with the parents and your child has a trial day - GREAT!!! as it gives you the opportunity to see how comfortable your child feels around new friends and teachers. The school is very quality oriented - good manners and discipline are a must!! This is not a daycare!! The school is very pleasant, peaceful and makes you want to become child again and join preschool.

When you are looking for preschools you will notice the various approaches to teaching children from child-led-play-bases to traditional teacher-led instruction. Our attitude towards academics in preschool changed dramatically when we started at Robin Hood Montessori School. This school sets foundation for the love of learning. Our son has found joy in learning and looks forward to going to school every day. Our son has developed an inquisitive mind which drives him to explore the world around him. We have been looking for a place where the children are given the love to learn and become an active part of their own learning - and we found it. Thank you for your efforts and passion for teaching.

Wonderful school, wonderful teacher, wonderful philosophy! If you don't believe it, go check it out! You will not be disappointed, it is an excellent school. They are a true Montessori school, practicing the Montessori method as it should be done. If you want your child to learn from a well-rounded curriculum, this is it. The topics covered each month include art, human values, community role models, geography, among many others. The staff is professional, kind, warm, and dedicated. My child amazes me with the things she is learning and looks forward to school every day!

What a big difference this school has made in my child's life! My child thrives in this structured and loving environment. I love their cultural curriculum and the universal approach of our world. My child receives so much attention and after talking with other parents I realized that each and every other child in the classroom receives the same level of individual attention. Great organization and fabulous communication with the administration! 
We highly recommend this school!

Robinhood Montessori is the best thing that happened to my child. This is one unique school where the focus is on the child itself - making the child grow as a confident, humble, educated and loving individual ready to take up the challenges ahead, a recipe that is required for every child. The child is given the right kind of attention and knowledge based on the child's ability and nature. The staff is respectful, loving, humble, supportive and extremely kind. Robinhood has the best mixture of multi-cultural parents, teachers and children and it is amazing how we all speak the same language - a language of friendship. And finally, the teacher student ratio - well, there are those big named schools which boast of a low teacher student ratio, which surprisingly is the same as Robinhood, but fail to deliver in the child's growth. ROBINHOOD ROCKS!!!

Prior to enrolling our child in Robin Hood Montessori, I spoke to the parents of children who are currently attending and to those who's children had attended in the past. One of the reasons we decided to go with Robin Hood was that I repeatedly heard from parents that their child thrived under the tutelage of the staff. Since our child has been enrolled, we have seen this first hand. When our child was having trouble with a subject, the teacher tried many different ways to approach the subject until she found the one that worked. We are impressed with the individual time spent with our child. Now we can't stop our child in this subject. The enthusiasm the staff brings to the learning process is priceless. As for the parents being unfriendly, it is always hard being the "new" person, but if you give it time, I think you will realize that the parents, teachers and children at this school are kind, caring people and you will be welcomed into the group.

My daughter has thrived and blossomed in this environment and LOVES to attend school. Her "work" fills her with such confidence and pride, and I can appreciate the academic progress she is making through the teacher's constant feedback about her daily activities. The staff at this school is respectful and attentive to every single person that comes in their door, it is amazing. The quality of care and attention to detail and love for teaching is obvious the minute you walk in. After touring about 8-10 preschools, this was the first and only school my daughter felt comfortable in as soon as we set foot in the door. She was a shy 2 1/2 year old girl, yet she immediately held the teacher's hand of her own free will and connected with the teacher and environment. To me, that was priceless. She obviously was just as comfortable with all we were seeing at this school, as was I. I can drop off my daughter with total peace of mind that she is well taken care of, loved, respected, and of course, taught using the best quality materials and most interesting curriculum in a warm, peaceful, yet fun environment.

We started sending our child to Robin Hood in January, and have never met such a group of lovely people! The staff is so caring and so dedicated to giving each of their students the most individualized and impacting education you could hope for. In teaching children to be responsible for themselves, the staff are not turning the kids into little janitors, they are teaching them INTEGRITY, something that is in short supply in most schools today. In a couple of short months, our child had learned so much and overcome (those oh so difficult three year old) behavior issues. We have been so positively amazed by what we have seen with this school and it's staff- they just care so much, and are so professional! Our child even gets upset on weekends, when she can't go. As for the other parents, they all have been so friendly.

HEAVEN SENT MONTESSORI PRESCHOOL!! A++++: We LOVE this school! Our family has been through several preschools (we have 3 children) and out of all the schools I have researched and visited (I have researched many schools including the UC Irvine preschool programs) I have not been so impressed as I was with Robin Hood! The teachers are EXTREMELY professional & courteous. I felt very comfortable leaving my daughter there and she confirmed my feelings by letting me know that she also felt comfortable. The environment is very beautiful, clean and well maintained (I am extremely ANAL when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene) and this place blew me away in comparison to other preschools I have observed! This is a structured environment so the children must be very respectful of each other and learn to be polite. They will only accept children into the program who are potty trained. These are policies which I support 100%! My daughter has never been happier! This is a great Montessori preschool w/a great enriched academic program!!
