Enrolling my child several years ago in Crenshaw Montessori Academy was the best thing I could have done. The teachers are wonderful. My child loved attending this school. Every day, she looked forward to attending. She became sensitive to others through during her time. The school director was such a kind; sweet person. She cares about her kids. Her main focus was the children and their education. I would recommend Crenshaw Montessori to anyone who cares about early child development.

Crenshaw Montessori Academy is a school of high excellence that derives from a path of teaching and cultivating each child`s mind at the level with which they are at. They are taught on an individual level with an advanced academic curriculum in place which embodies all of the basic skills and beyond. Under the director`s leadership, she comes from a place of honesty, kindness and generosity, especially towards her staff and the clients she serves. Most of the children who have gone to the Academy have achieved great things and have come back to the director to express their thanks as well as volunteer in an effort to give back. Former students have also brought their own children to Crenshaw Montessori Academy. I have entrusted Crenshaw Montessori Academy with my child because I know my child is in the hands of a director and staff who will go beyond the call of duty to give me peace of mind that my child will excel. If you want the best school, then this is the place for your child. Their education will not be compromised, but will excel beyond measure.
