My daughter has been attending Spectrum Montessori at Portola for about a year and a half, and we’ve had a great experience. We especially appreciate Ms. Mahnaz, Ms. Anahi, and Ms. Michelle - they are wonderful with the kids and always kind and supportive. Honestly, everyone there has been friendly and helpful, and it’s been a really positive environment for our daughter.
