Rainbow Montessori - Sunnyvale, CA

Posted bylhultqui1on 3/29/2008

My son attended Rainbow Montessori from the time he was 8 weeks old through 1st Grade. Rainbow Montessori, in its capacity as a daycare facility is fine however, as an educational institution, it fails miserably. In both Kindergarten and First Grade, I was told my son was behind (even though the Montessori Method on the Rainbow website states that 'children learn and progress at their own pace. . . slow learners are not frustrated by their inability to keep up'). On top of tuition fees, I was encouraged by Rainbow to hire a tutor for my son (additional $360/month). I pursued this route and even so, my son still had to be held back. I am pleased to report that I've switched my son out of Rainbow to our local public school . My son has gone from zero confidence to excelling in the areas he was told he was behind.
