She We we sitting in a highchair (with no food) while the teacher was sitting in the play area. This made me sick to my stomach, the child could easily feel out & hit her head.

I have a 5 month old as well and I would never ever send my daughter to a daycare/preschool like this ever! I walk in and there are 3 ladies in this room and they all just look at me and look away. I have my daughter in my arms, holding my friends daughters hand, have her snack pack and booster seat in my arms and not one person greeted me, asked who I was, not one word. So I stand there for a few moments and look around. One lady finally comes over and says to my friends daughter "come on I'll take you back" I look at her and say I also have her booster seat for when she gets picked up later. The woman takes it and walks away. I'm just left standing there with my friends daughter still. The woman comes back inside and I'm almost yelling because she's across the room, and I ask if there was anything I needed to do, and she says " no, I'll sign her in" just like that. So I said goodbye to my friends daughter and told her to have a good day and walked out. When you work at a daycare/preschool and you see someone new bringing in a child your supposed to greet them and talk to them, not be rude and say nothing. It was so unprofessional and something that you don't do when you have children involved. I looked around the whole room when I walked in, made eye contact with all 3 woman and not one of them greeted me, or said anything when I left. I can only imagine if they do that when you bring the children in what they would do when the children are picked up. My daughters only 5 months old but when that time comes for her to go to preschool kinderland will not be and option for my family. I would have given no stars, but yelp makes you add a star before you can post. So this actually is a no star

I couldn't believe what my oldest learned. He was the first in his K class to count to 100 and he was able to add, subtract, and multiply by the time he was in K. Our youngest has really come a long way verbally since attending preschool. Most important is the community and friendships that they have made. My oldest son's two best friends are friends that he met 3-4 years ago from preschool. Some of the families have become like second families to us while we don't see others as often it's still so fun to see each other at sporting events or out and about. I won't say that the transition to public school was smooth for my oldest son because he just wanted to go back to preschool. But I really don't see that as a bad thing. When I had questions about education for my eldest Lynn gave me the most helpful assessment of my son's educational needs that I've ever received. So while it's only a year or two of my kids life it really feels like it has had a lasting positive ripple effect and I'm so glad my kids have this important opportunity to be little.

My son is in his third and final year (Kndergarten) at Morningstar. I loved the culture of the…read moreschool the former teachers built, before summer 2024, and I love the progression into the school Morningstar has become under Ms. Gigi's ownership as well. The teachers bring their substantial training, experience, and unique gifts to a beautiful environment. Montessori builds independence, autonomy, and initiative as it guides children into becoming passionate, lifelong learners. I am so grateful I found Morningstar in 2022 and can't recommend it highly enough to parents who have high hopes for their child's early education. One benefit I particularly treasure is the opportunity for leadership my son is experiencing as a Montessori mentor. As the caboose to our family, it struck me that this is his big opportunity to be the oldest among his peers. As I see the pictures and videos the school provides daily, chat casually with the teachers at pickup, and observe in our home life, I am seeing my "baby" grow into a confident, thoughtful boy who can apply reason and empathy, modulate his responses, and make good choices in his daily life. Even though he's eligible for Kindergarten (and I am a big supporter of the WPUSD elementary he will attend next year), I keep him here for the low teacher/student ratio, the peacefulness and productivity of his work day, the laughter, fun, and joy that is so clearly enjoyed by the children and the teachers, and the warmth, love, and kindness that welcomes in the families in the mornings and tells them goodnight at the close of day. As Morningstar matures under Ms. Gigi's leadership, I highly recommend it to all families looking for childcare / school in Lincoln.

A lot of reviews here mention the rudeness of the staff and the preferencial treatment they give…read morecertain parents and students. I had first hand experience with this. I attended their open house to see if the school would be a good fit for my son. We entered through the back gate and from the start I noticed I was being looked over. I figured it was because I looked somewhat sloppy carrying my infant in the carrier and haven't had the chance to change in order to make it on time. I was wrong. This was during the pandemic when masks were required indoors. All parents arrived with masks, but upon seeing the staff not wearing them, they also removed them. I attended with my toddler and infant who cannot be vaccinated, so we were also wearing masks and we did not remove them. Quickly, we became the only people wearing masks. When I asked if masks would be worn indoors, I was told no. Again, this was during a time when wearing masks was the safety guidance. I told the staff that I wasn't sure this would be the best fit, and she told me there were plenty of other preschools for my child. That's it. In no more than five minutes, I was bullied, made to feel uncomfortable, and told to leave. I left fuming. I could not believe she would 1. violate safety guidelines. 2. jeopardize the safety of my children. 3. tell me to go somewhere else rather than explain her reasoning. Also, this was done in plain view of other parents quickly setting the tone for the rest of the tour and establishing the type of treatment that is acceptable at this school. Obviously, I left. Looking back, she did me a favor as this is not the kind of environment I would want for my child. I have no doubt that what other parents have said in their posts is honest as the bullying behavior by the staff was in plain view with me. I am left feeling sad about what children are learning at this school about the treatment of others, and about their role in a community. This school is a detriment to all of Lincoln.
