ELMO is a great school where the teachers are invested and really care about your child. The preschool is an amazing program with lots of fun activities and learning opportunities. My daughter has been incredibly happy here.

Amazing school, we are sad to be graduating from 6 the grade but feel prepared for an academic jr high. We will miss this sweet school with its wonderful teachers.

Our family absolutely loves ELMO. All the teachers go above and beyond their duties and really care about each child and show them Gods love everyday! I highly recommend this school! We have had 3 kids go through the preschool program here! And each child had a wonderful experience.

Absolutely phenomenal. We went into the elementary school with high expectations, having heard rave reviews from friends whose kids have attended, but incredibly even our expectations have been exceeded. It is quite simply the most incredible little school. The teachers pour into the students, which is one of the most beautiful investments in your child, and the students' peers are fabulous kids--the type you're happy your kids are friends with! The music program is off-the-charts SO GOOD, the school has incredible artists, they teach Spanish twice a week to all the kids, chapels are fabulous and curriculum is comprehensively Christ-centered, and the home room instruction is so dynamic and fun. My daughter adores her teachers, loves her friends, and her joy about this school is so contagious that her younger brother literally every day begs if it's his time to go to Kindergarten yet.

We've been at Elmo for 3 years and now have 2 children there. It is a wonderful community for our children and family. Our kids love it, too!

Our first year at ELMO has been a great experience. The teachers are incredibly loving and nurturing. It's been a great joy to have our daughters first experience away from us be so positive and fun for her. ELMO is a very family environment.

We were new to Elmo this year and felt so welcomed by the sweet community there. My son flourished in the pre-K class with exceptional teachers with decades of experience. We are so grateful for the quality of the school grounds, teachers, administrators and families at this school. Elmo is a treasure. One visit and you'll understand why.

As a homeschooling parent, I have found El Montecito to be a gem. For our family, sending one of our children back to formal school was a huge victory. We didn't have to do so and as a result were being very selective. ElMo popped up in the considerations and it has made all the difference. We have been surprised with the ease of transition from our home to ElMo. It is rare to find school where the curriculum and class size allows a flexibility to cater to each student's need and learning style. You then add in an expansive community of genuine love rooted in Jesus and, for us, its as close to home as you can get - precisely what we were looking to find.

Elmo is a special place. They don't just teach our kids, they love them! Kids get to join a family.

This school is amazing. The campus is ideal and last year they offered tons of convenient and inexpensive after school enrichment programs. My child has loved track, Jujitsu, Violin and Art. What awesome way to incorporate school relationships through extra-curricular activities on site.Update 1/2016: I now have two children at this school and live having preschool and elementary in one drop-off! This school continues to be amazing for my kids. Now they have healthy hot lunch too! My kids are flourishing under the uniquely talented teachers. Best decision ever.

I love how Elmo instills a strong love for God in the kids and how it deeply cares about forming the kids' character getting to know who they are and the potential they each have. All of that done with dedication, attention and unconditional love.

El Montecito School San Roque offers Preschool- 6th grade education. I loved having both my preschooler and elementary aged child at the same school, where they could see each other throughout the day. The teachers truly love and care about my children and provide many classes beyond traditional learning. My children enjoy art, music, Spanish and chapel throughout the week and have the option to take several after school enrichment courses such as Jewlery making, Ceramics, and Art amongst others. My children's teachers find new, fun and innovative ways to creatively teach concepts and keep learning enjoyable. We are so happy that our children have El Montecito School for their education!

As a former high school teacher I had specific expectations for my 2 young children entering school. After my daughter first 3 years here, going through pre-school, I am happy to recommend ElMo to any friends and family. The perfect balance between personal enrichment and academic goals help every child succeed to their full potential, and be happy with wonderful community support and values
