For families like us with no immediate relatives' help, this center is like my kids' second home. I love this place. I have toured other daycares, no place comes close to this one in terms of how clean and structured it is. Especially in this pandemic, this center definitely takes it way more seriously than any other daycares we have seen. We just left last week because my son is old enough to be in kindergarten and unfortunately BH doesn't have that option. I miss this place so much already, the wonderful teachers and awesome director... I would highly recommend this daycare to anybody who is trying to find a perfect care center for their precious little one. Feel free to message me if you have questions.

The Cons: There is a mask mandate but no social distancing. The senior classes are crowded and all who wish to attend cannot be accommodated. The website for registration is not user friendly and is cumbersome. That being said, I enjoy the Y, the employees and the classes.

Our child just completed their third and final year at Montessori Children's Community, finishing…read morewith the Kindergarten program -- and what an incredible journey it has been. Today, I watched with immense pride as my 5-year-old stood in front of a room full of parents, children, and teachers to deliver a confident, three-minute presentation on "Castles" -- a topic they researched, wrote about, and presented entirely on their own. This moment perfectly captured the kind of growth MCC fosters -- not just academically, but socially and emotionally. Under the steady guidance of Ms. Rocio and the dedicated MCC team, our child has transformed from a shy, curious preschooler into a self-assured, articulate learner. MCC adheres closely to the Montessori method, and while the environment of independent exploration may take a little adjustment at first, the results are extraordinary. Over time, the children develop deep concentration, intrinsic motivation, and a love of learning. I've seen my child confidently use words like ruminate, tenacious, and paroxysm in writing and conversation. They've explored the life cycle of a moth, practiced addition and multiplication, and developed a genuine enthusiasm for knowledge. Beyond academics, MCC creates a nurturing and joyful community. From field trips and holiday celebrations to visits from local business leaders and sweet traditions like sending postcards to grandparents, the school experience is rich, well-rounded, and deeply personal. The bonds between the students are strong -- they support each other like siblings, and that emotional intelligence translates into real-world confidence. This also extends among the MCC families as well! (Shout out to the PTO and the MNO/DNO activities!) If you're seeking a school that invests deeply in your child's development -- academically, socially, and emotionally -- and a place where your family can plant lasting roots, look no further. Montessori Children's Community is a place where children truly flourish in ways you can't even imagine.

We would not be able to pursue our professional callings while also fulfilling our high standards for family life and child upbringing if we did not have such a trusted support system and partner in place. We not only see MCC as partners in raising our children (they are a great force for instilling positive behaviors and perspectives and growing the individual), but we also learn so much from Ms. Rocio and her staff. They have opened our eyes to a great way to co-exist with children that gives them the guidance they require but in a way that is peaceful, enjoyable, and just plain sensible. We especially value MCC's Parent Education Nights and Parent-Teacher Conferences, which give us new insight every time. The kids have pretty much always been happy to be dropped off at school, which is pretty amazing, and they are growing into amazing little humans. Moreover, MCC's community is larger than the classroom--we love that we really know and spend time with the other families and even teachers; when the kids are brought to school, it feels more like they are off to spend time with their loving extended family, a comforting effect for both us and them.

Words cannot express the experience my children have had at Kensington School. Two different…read morekiddos with two totally different personalities, both thrived in the best possible way. Curriculum is top notch, having an education background as a parent I was definitely more critical on what was being taught to my children. They exceeded my expectations from the Jolly Phonics, Handwriting without Tears, to the hands on science experiments. I can continue on with so many praises, from the administration being open and supportive, the teachers are friendly and welcoming, to the variety of snacks and lunch options (which was huge in our household by introducing a variety and them willing to try new things since they were exposed at school). The environment is warm, makes you comfortable and feel like your home away from home. If you are even considering putting your little ones Kensington School is the way to go :-)

I'm blown away at how immerse and diverse the curriculum is here. The outdoor play area is very nice & secure, they grow a garden in the summer & harvest in the fall. The preschool & pre-k kids perform in a musical in Fall/Spring, which is honestly nothing like you'll find at any daycare. They have music class with teacher who plays piano, have appropriate & seasonal activities & an organic lunch & snack catered menu. The building is secure & the staff is responsive. They assess your child & send progress reports each "school year" Spring/Fall. Very hygiene conscious, which was a huge thing for me, and will communicate with parents.

We will truly feel a loss when he starts Kindergarten next year, but I am so grateful that we found a wonderful place with Ms. Funmi and her team for so many years.

Couldn't ask for more.

My daughter is always happy/excited when she walks through the doors and is always greeted by her first name right away (the staff is great at remembering all the names of the students that walk through the door). When I pick her up from school, she is always excited to tell me about everything she did that day and always leaves with a smile on her face. I recommend Little People's Country over any other daycare nearby to my friends/Family. Thank you LPC Staff for being such amazing individuals and keeping our children safe/happy.
