Full Ranking Detail
MontessoriInfant CareAges 0–5yr
Monty's Montessori Academy of Ontario, located at 2460 S Euclid Ave in Ontario, California, is a Montessori program that stands out for offering both a dedicated infant room (licensed for 16 infants) and a larger daycare facility licensed for up to 83 children. The center has been praised by parents for patient, engaged teachers and demonstrated learning gains, and it maintains below-market Montessori pricing. Under new ownership, it has brought noted improvements over its previous iteration as Applepea Montessori. Its limited public review footprint (only 19 Yelp reviews, no Google presence) makes direct due diligence advisable before enrollment, and prospective families should confirm the depth of its Montessori curriculum and the stability of its new ownership structure.
