Our son has been attending Fulbright since he was 2.5 years-old and is now in Kindergarten. The detail and attention provided by the teaching staff and administration is exceptional with reasonable class sizes. The children are permitted to progress at their own pace, meaning an inquisitive and eager child will really benefit from the program. Most of the other parents that I have spoken too are very involved in their child's education and the school activities. My only regret is that my son will have to move on after this y... read more

My daughter has been attending Fulbright Montessori for almost 2 years and I have been nothing but pleased with the quality of education and caring staff. Ms. Sally the director is awesome. She always makes it a point to greet my little girl every time she comes in. Ms. Udeni is my daughter's teacher. She is very good with all the kids in the class. They always pace the learning on each child individually. So each child is at their own pace. Overall, I would highly recommend Fulbright to any parent looking for a presch... read more

Fulbright Montessori Academy is simply amazing! My daughter attended this school from age 2 until 5 1/2 and it was a pleasure to have her there. The academic program is wonderful. Going into kindergarten she is well above grade level in reading and math. She knows lots of other subjects too (practical life skills, geography, Spanish, art, music, cultural) and she simply loves learning. I attribute much of this to the focused and loving care the faculty at the school give all their kids. Each child is given instruction ap... read more

Last year 2012 our son graduated from kindergarten @ Fulbright Montessori Academy after attending the school for 4 years. It was VERY difficult for him to leave as it was for his father and I to see him graduate and move on to elementary school. He is now enrolled in a Public School and has transitioned beautifully thanks to Maria Houlihan, Sally Heath and all the teachers at Fulbright Montessori. The early years are so important in a child's development and they not only provided a safe and loving environment but also th... read more

This is a great school with teachers who really care about the kids and the Montessori philosophy. The space is large, bright and has a good size yard for the kids to use. Lots of parents who have learned about the school from good word of mouth and have send their kids and eventually younger siblings. A couple of the negative reviews here look like spammers, not real Yelp users, with only one posting for each user? Also the 'filtered reviews' are some of the most positive out there. Not sure why Yelp does this but it w... read more

My son had a great experience here. This school brought my son out of his shell after a terrible experience at another daycare. All of the staff knows every kid and really has the best interest of the kids as a priority.

I really am shocked at the comment below from the reviewer in Irvine about Maria and Fulbright Montessori. I can say, as a parent who's child actually attended the school, and has first hand experience dealing with Maria, Sally and all the teachers there, that she and her staff could not have been more professional, honest or curteous. We never once had any reason to question Maria's integrity, and I actually take personal offence that someone would slander her on Yelp. One very importaint thing to consider when ch... read more

You get what you pay for. At first, I thought the tuition in this school was too expensive, but then I realized that this school is not a daycare at all, but really a learning institution for my 2 year old. Establishing good learning habits, social skills, and good habits is important in a child, and what better place to start than at 2 years old at Fulbright Montessori. The teachers are very trained.... they're not just any adults that completed a license and know how to change a diaper. They have teaching credentials an... read more

Fulbright Montessori and Maria Houlihan exemplify professionalism and early education at its best. I first came across Fulbright Montessori and Maria after an extensive search for preschools for my first child in 2007. After researching three different, early education philiosophies, my husband and I agreed that Montessori was the best fit for our child. Accordingly, I researched and visited 7 Montessori schools. Of those, I found Fulbright Montessori to offer the most emcompassing program for the early toddler age - muc... read more
