Exploring Minds Montessori, Van Nuys | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

When I saw the 1 review posted, I just had to write an opposing review for Exploring Minds Montessori Preschool because we absolutely LOVE the school!

Our daughter has been at Exploring Minds for 3 years (including the parent program) and our experience has been beyond FANTASTIC!!!! Our daughter has thrived developmentally, socially, intellectually, and physically thanks in large part to Exploring Minds.

We are so very thankful to the school’s Director, Doha, who has always been easily accessible and available to answer all our questions and offer guidance to our family. In addition, the entire staff has ALL been outstanding including the full-time teachers, extra-curricular activities teachers, office personnel, and even the lovely housekeeping staff. Everyone is very caring, attentive, nurturing, and personable. The curriculum is truly excellent as well. Our daughter has gained valuable knowledge from the various subjects, topics, and activities she has been exposed to at Exploring Minds. All the while having a really FUN time in preschool!

I just asked our 4 1/2 year old daughter to tell me why she likes Exploring Minds and here is exactly what she said: “I love the teachers and I love the kids. Exploring Minds is the best school ever and I never want to leave that school ever!!”
I can’t offer enough compliments about Exploring Minds and how incredibly grateful we are to have found this preschool. It has been the perfect fit for our daughter and our family. We have connected with so many other incredible families and have made lifelong friends.

I HIGHLY recommend Exploring Minds!

EMM is a gem! My daughter started there at 2 years old til she was 3 1/2. The only reason why we left is bc we relocated but this place is unlike no other. Trust me, I’m having a hard time finding her a new preschool now bc EMM sets the bar so high. The owner and director Ms. Doha is so involved and you can tell. Everything and I mean everything is immaculate, from the classrooms to bathrooms to the playground. The teachers and assistants here are the sweetest people I know, you can tell how much they loved my daughter. My daughter has become so curious, imaginative, and independent. It’s so amazing to watch her progress. I can go on and on, the enrichment classes, the student to faculty ratio, the diversity, the flexibility, the easy access to speak to anyone, the security, the beautiful ness of the place and a big one for me was how far Ms. Doha goes to make the children feel even more independent that they have made a kitchen counter for the children to prepare their snacks and also the bathroom sinks and toilets are small for the children too. I can’t believe that I’ve toured preschools where they can’t even have a child size toilet for them. EMM even had a farewell ceremony for my daughter and all the children and teachers had a chance to acknowledge my daughter, hug her and say their good byes. Lastly, I appreciate the healthy eating environment they create. I toured other preschools that serve pizza and ice cream every week. No thanks. EMM covers all bases, if you have the chance to have your child attend, you’ll see what I mean. EMM is THE best.

We love it here, and feel part of a strong, caring community of teachers and parents. My child has blossomed here and has made friendship bonds that I hope last a lifetime. We enjoy and have become friends with many of the parents.
