Testimonials

“My child has been going to Alka Montessori for 3 years. The school provides perfect mix of safety, play, learning and emotional development which is needed at this age. Ms. Alka and all the teachers are easily accessible and have always addressed my concerns. My child is very happy and loves going there. Recently they started the food program and my child is enjoying it.”
Ginni Grover
“Highly recommended! My daughter joined Alka at the age of 4 and stayed until she entered Kindergarten. Similarly, my son began his journey at Alka Montessori at just 18 months old. Leaving our little ones at daycare, especially at such a young age, is always a challenging transition, but the teachers and staff made it incredibly comfortable. I had confidence that my daughter's emotional, physical, social, and educational needs were well met.”
Asha Ramachandran
“We love Alka Montessori. My son has been going here for last couple of months and we have noticed a tremendous curve in his development. We have also opted for their food program and we love the variety in the meal options. Would definitely recommend this place if you love Montessori curriculum.”

“Alka's preschool exceeded all our expectations for the structure, fun, and love that would be shown to our daughter. We started when she was 2 years old in the younger child classroom, where she eventually graduated to the older kid classroom and turned 3. We always felt that our daughter was supported, even when she experienced big life changes that can be hard for a toddler/preschooler to process. She spoke fondly of her school every day and would come home on Fridays with folders of the awesome crafts and school work that she accomplished each week! I cannot recommend Alka Montessori enough.”
