Carmel Mountain Preschool

CMP is such an awesome preschool. It has everything I was looking for in a school. It’s outdoor and play focused, they serve organic snacks, and all of the facilities and staff are wonderful. We started with the Parent and Me class with Ms Sylvia. It was so fun, my son loved it, and it was a great way to familiarize him with the school. At 18 months, he started twice a week in the toddler class with Ms Carolina and Ms Ruby. They are so amazing with all the kids. My son absolutely loves them. Ms Ariz is another toddler teacher my son loves. All in all, I can’t recommend this school and the teachers enough. 5 stars all around

We love Carmel Mountain Preschool! The curriculum is so rich and creative, and my kid is always excited to go to school. The environment is warm, welcoming, and filled with wonderful activities. Huge thanks to Ms. Autumn and Ms. Wendy for being so kind, patient, and encouraging. With their support, my kid even successfully completed potty training this year! We’re so grateful for everything you do!

CMP is absolutely amazing! It had everything I was looking for in a preschool for my son. It is secure, has a ton of outdoor time, exposure to so many different activities and events. Their campus is beautiful and most importantly it had a Spanish immersion class starting as young as 3y/o. It was the only preschool with a choice of a different language I could find in Poway. Mis Ruthie is our Spanish teacher. She is an absolute angel. She is amazing with all the kids in her class. She keeps all the parents completely updated on the day in the app. I feel like I never miss a day out of my son’s life with her detailed updates and photos. She is so kind and understanding when my son has a bad day. She is encouraging and individualizes for each student. I could go on and on about Mis Ruthie!!

We are approaching the end of our first official year at CMP with our now 3-year-old son and we have had a wonderful experience, thus far! Ms EMMA and Ms NATALIE have been GREAT teachers to our slow to warm son who, to this day, occasionally still cries at drop off. They have both been patient, kind and have been excellent communicators throughout the year. In this relatively short window of time, we have witnessed a tremendous growth in our son's confidence, level of politeness, and overall linguistic development. They have both been great partners to us (parents) in creating a nurturing environment to foster early childhood development in all aspects and we are so incredibly grateful to them, and to the entire staff at CMP!

We love CMP! I love that they spend so much time outside and have so many outdoor activities to rotate through. My daughter is very shy and I was so worried sending her to school for the first time at almost 3 years old and I could not be happier with the experience she’s having at this sweet preschool. My daughter is really coming out of her shell at school and outside of school and I really think we have CMP to thank for some of that progress. Her teachers Ms. Cassandra and Ms. Yui are both so patient and kind and I really hope my younger son gets them as teachers in a few years!
