She creates a warm and welcoming environment where my girls feel safe and supported. One thing we especially appreciate is her excellent communication with us. Ms. Ana is very responsive through WeChat; she provides us peace of mind when we have any questions regarding our kids. Ms Shiela was excellent in introducing both my daughters to writing/math/reading at the beginning of the year. She was able to identify different needs for each of my daughters and created a plan for us to follow at home to reinforce what was being taught at school. The time I had with Ms Shiela in the teacher parent meetings showed me that she really cared about her students and treated them as if they were her own. I am so impressed with my daughters' growth throughout the year; seeing the work they did in class and also the activities they have and are doing now at home is just amazing. We are so grateful to have had Ms. Ana and Ms. Shiela take care of and teach our kids. Ms Ana and Ms Shiela's kindness, patience, and dedication are qualities that every parent hopes to encounter on the first day of school.

Ms. Haley is the teacher who helped my daughter achieve a breakthrough in learning her letter sounds and number fundamentals. She is energetic, creative, and makes learning so much fun that even my husband and I wish we could be students in her class! She has a special gift for challenging each child while supporting them in their own unique way. Homework became a positive part of our routine because she always made sure my daughter was learning, growing, and being appropriately challenged. Her curriculum and classroom activities are engaging, thoughtful, and fun. Simply put, she is truly one of the best teachers we have ever met. Ms. Emily is the most patient and loving teacher. She has such a gentle and effective way of teaching discipline, manners, and positive behavior. Rather than simply telling children what not to do, she helps them understand right from wrong in a caring and respectful way. Her kindness and creativity shine through in everything she does. Ms. Andrea has left a lasting impression on our family. Thanks to her, our household will forever know how to sing the table manners song! She has a wonderful ability to turn lessons and nursery rhymes into daily habits that children can carry with them beyond the classroom. Together, these teachers create the perfect balance of nurturing, encouragement, structure, and learning. They have built an environment where children can thrive and grow at their own pace while feeling loved and supported every step of the way. We will miss them so much and already look forward to our second child having the opportunity to learn from them one day. We also cannot forget Room 2 and the amazing Ms. Cecilia, Ms. Ellie, and Ms. Griselda. They were my daughter's very first teachers and helped her learn boundaries, social skills, and independence while showering her with love and care. Anyone who works with two-year-olds deserves special recognition, and these teachers have endless patience and dedication. They are simply the best. We also cannot forget about Ms Reyna! She was the one providing comfort to during her first few weeks of transitioning. Our daughter has truly thrived here and has learned so much. We are incredibly grateful for all of these wonderful teachers and the impact they have had on our family. You simply can't go wrong with any of them!

When he first started, he was really shy, hardly spoke, and would prefer playing and being alone, which was concerning me. However, my son soon began to excel. He's become more social and verbal, constantly learning new things and continuously showing improvement. When I pick him up from school, I love seeing how happy and comfortable he is playing with the other children. He now tells me about his friends and what he did that day, and sometimes, out of nowhere, he'll sing songs he learned at school. The teachers are incredibly kind, caring, and patient with all the children. They genuinely show how much they care for every child's development, well-being, and education. They are always willing to discuss any questions, recommendations, and concerns I or they may have. I appreciate it when the teacher not only informs me of his progress but also points out areas that he needs improvement in. The staff also helped me with potty training and were always understanding and accommodating to schedule changes. I have peace of mind every day when I drop him off, knowing he will be safe, well cared for, and in good hands. I completely trust my child in their care. I 100% highly recommend Discovery Montessori Preschool to any family searching for a high-quality, reliable preschool where children are encouraged to learn and develop. Thank you so much Ms. Nilani, Ms. Dishani and Ms. Ayanti! You are all greatly appreciated!

With my son starting kindergarten this August, I know he will miss this school very much.

From the moment we joined the school, we felt welcomed, supported, and confident that Ellie was in a caring and nurturing environment. The teachers and staff at Acacia Montessori are exceptional. They are kind, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's growth and well-being. In the Dragonfly class, the teachers create a calm, positive, and engaging space where children feel safe to explore, learn, and express themselves. Ellie looks forward to school every day, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and happy she feels there. Academically and developmentally, Ellie has grown so much since attending Acacia Montessori. The Montessori approach encourages independence, confidence, and a love of learning, and it has been amazing to see these qualities develop in her at such a young age. She is learning important skills while also being encouraged to be curious, respectful, and kind to others. Communication with the school has been excellent. The staff keeps parents well-informed and is always approachable and supportive. It truly feels like a partnership, with everyone working together to ensure the best experience for the children. The overall environment at Acacia Montessori School is warm, welcoming, and well-organized. It feels like a community rather than just a school. Knowing that Ellie is cared for, understood, and encouraged every day gives me so much peace of mind as a parent. I am incredibly grateful to Acacia Montessori School and the Dragonfly class teachers for the love, dedication, and effort they put into nurturing young minds. I would highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a high-quality, caring, and enriching early childhood education. Acacia Montessori has truly been a second home for Ellie, and we feel very lucky to be part of this school community.

Ms. Elin was my son's Pre-K teacher, and he absolutely adores her. Under her guidance, he learned all the alphabets, shapes, and colors, and can now count to 20 -- skills I know are often taught in TK. Beyond academics, Ms. Elin always incorporated fun, engaging activities that the kids loved. She also helped my son become more independent with eating, which was something he really needed encouragement in. In the afternoons, when Ms. Elin left, other wonderful teachers stepped in to provide care -- Ms. Silvia, Ms. Christine, Ms. Mary, Ms. Marie and Ms. Nour. My son knows and loves them all. When I once asked my son if there was any teacher he liked the least, his answer was, "no," which says it all!) Last but certainly not least, Ms. Virgine is an incredible director. My son was both a Covid baby (super shy) and a preemie, so I had extra concerns as a first-time mom. One of the main reasons I chose LPG was the smaller class sizes, so he wouldn't be overwhelmed. I was nervous at first, but my worries quickly faded as I watched him grow and thrive. By the time he graduated, he not only had friends in his own class but also knew the names of kids from other classes. I am genuinely grateful to everyone at LPG for giving my son such a memorable preschool experience. You truly can't put a price on that!

Our oldest daughter started here when she was just two and a half, and now our second daughter has gone through the same journey -- and we're already excited to send our youngest soon! What makes Kid Junction so special is the people. Every teacher pours so much love, time, and intention into the kids. They create fun, hands-on activities, celebrate holidays with so much joy, and keep parents updated every step of the way. You can tell this is a place where faith and care guide everything they do. Both of our girls had Miss Sandy, who is truly the best person to care for 2-year-olds -- patient, nurturing, and full of joy. Then they had Miss Susan, who is the sweetest! She helps build confidence in each child and makes every day special (my daughter loves when she pulls out her spray bottle and hair ties to give her a cute little hairstyle!). We also adore Miss Eileen, who does a wonderful job preparing the kids for Kinder she's a TK teacher -- she's caring, creative, and the children can't wait to be in her class. And Miss Belinda made those early toddler days so special with fun morning activities that set the tone for a happy day. We loved it so much that we decided to keep our daughters here for TK instead of going to elementary because we knew they would get the care and elevated education prior to going to Kinder. My daughters assessment going into kindergarten, she scored very high on the skills for this grade. It was an easy transition and she thought kinder was too easy she kept asking for more hw!! And holding it all together is Miss Clara, director -- she has the most tender heart and genuine love for children. We've known her for five years now, and her care shines through in everything she does -- her communication, the way she supports the teachers, and the way she continues to check in and send us updates. Overall I'm always blown away how clean everything is! So organized and clean which demonstrates the teachers diligence in providing a safe and modeled classroom. We are so thankful for Kid Junction. It's more than just a preschool -- it's a loving, faith-filled community that feels like family.

The whole campus is always very clean and well-organized, which speaks volumes about how much they care. One of the things I've valued the most is the daily communication. For three years straight, I received updates on how my daughter was doing--whether she napped, how much she ate, and even little notes if her behavior changed.

My three daughters were…read moreenrolled there, but we were forced to leave after an upsetting and unprofessional incident involving my 16-month-old. At drop-off one morning, I informed the teacher that my baby had a dirty diaper. The teacher responded in an irritated tone and insisted it was diarrhea before properly checking. While changing her, the teacher removed all of my daughter's clothing--including her clean shirt and jacket--and refused to give them back when I asked. During the diaper change, the teacher handled my daughter in a manner that made her visibly uncomfortable and distressed. My baby was crying and clearly upset. When I calmly asked the teacher to please be more gentle, my concerns were dismissed and both teachers in the room became defensive. When the director, Ms. Haydee Galvez-Diaz, was called in, she immediately sided with the staff without listening to me. Instead of addressing my concerns about how my child was being handled, she asked the teacher if she felt attacked. I then asked Ms. Haydee if we can speak in private. As I'm trying to explain the situation that just occurred, She raised her voice, told me I was "not happy here," said she thinks I needed to find another place for my children, and walked away, slamming the door in my face. As a working mother, I left in tears and felt helpless because I had no immediate childcare alternative. My baby was picked up within a few hours and never returned. I have since removed all three of my children from this center. No parent should be treated this way for simply advocating for their child. Instead of professionalism and understanding, I was met with hostility and disrespect. I would not recommend Montessori of Via Verde to any family who wants to feel safe, heard, and supported.
