We heard about LPP from our neighbors, and we are lucky we did. Our son started at Le Parc Place preschool at 2.5 and is now 4. From the outset we have had a great experience. Nadia the director helped us figure out a schedule to transition him in before he was full time. Then this was his first time in full time care and all of the teachers were so warm and caring that he was immediately eager to go to school every day. It is a fairly small school so our son was thrilled to get to know some of the "big" kids and eager to move up a class each year. He constantly amazes us with all he has learned at LPP and he loves the enrichment classes he takes like art, dance, science, and music. Since the school is in downtown Maplewood, the kids get to spend outdoor time in Memorial Park, walk over to the library, and explore on walks. We greatly appreciate the great hours as two commuting parents. Most important to us is how we see LPP helping our son become a kind and caring citizen of the world. He loves to "play play play" at school and we see how he is doing that and much more at LPP. Can't wait to send our younger child there when she is old enough! read more

Our daughter spend more than a year at Le Parc Place and we were thrilled. Ms. Nadia is a wonderful, attentive, and caring leader, and all the teachers our daughter interacted with were loving and supportive. The curriculum was key to our daughter quickly picking up new verbal and written skills, and the thoughtful music, art, movement and other programs were beloved by our little one. We credit Le Parc Place with helping our daughter grow emotionally as well as intellectually. The frequent communication and feedback from the school's staff was prompt and helpful; the app worked well. We'll be sending our daughter here for summer sessions! read more

Our daughter spent two years at Le Parc Place and we couldn't have been happier. Particularly in her pre-K year, her reading/writing/intellectual skills expanded significantly; we feel confident she is well equipped to enter kindergarten. Through the teachers and enrichment offerings she learned music and dance, piano, science, Spanish, and art. The quality of the staff and teachers is excellent- they communicate promptly, show such deep love and care for the students, and create a fun atmosphere. We loved the smaller setting- our daughter made strong friendships, as did we with the other parents. I would not hesitate to send my daughter again! read more

Our son joined Le Parc Place for camp this summer and he had a wonderful experience. Everyday he came home talking about what he learned and the awesome projects and enrichment activities. His teacher, Ms Janice, made him feel safe and loved. The director, Ms Nadia, is extremely responsive, understanding and kind. It was an excellent experience and we are extremely grateful to the entire staff of Le Parc Place who were all great to our family everyday. read more

Le Parc Place is an amazing school to send your young child. The teachers are supportive and kind, the optional extracurricular activities are well developed and cover topics from sports to science, and the school is run smoothly by Nadia. The location is super convenient for those who take the train. Your child will be very happy here! read more

We are so grateful to have found Le Parc Place. Our son has been in daycare since he was an infant, but only joined the LPP family when he had just turned 2.5yo (over a year ago), and the improvement in his communication skills and understanding of the world around him was almost immediately noticeable. The teachers are all extraordinary. They are patient and kind and loving, while still setting boundaries. Another thing I love is the classroom space itself. It's a big, wide open area with smaller classrooms all around the edges. There's more airflow, and doesn't feel cramped like some daycares. They provide a lunch program at a very reasonable price if you opt in, as well as music class 1x a week (all year round), soccer lessons 1x a week (seasonal), and dance & yoga class (discontinued since the pandemic but hoping it comes back soon!). We feel so lucky that our son can take all of these classes during school hours, rather than after school or on weekends. Through the pandemic they have gone above and beyond by keeping up instruction via Zoom until they were clear to open again. We opted to go back to in-person learning, but they still maintained virtual classes for parents who didn't feel safe. They established safety guidelines for those of us returning to in-person, held meetings with the parents so we could express our concerns and feel confident in each other's safety protocols. They've been such a great gift to us, we can't say enough nice things about them. read more

Le Parc Place - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Maplewood, New Jersey

We are so grateful to have found Nadia and the team at Le Parc Place! Our son is deeply cared for; thriving socially and academically. The teachers create a warm structured environment that gives the students room to grow. When our 3 y/o started he had missed a year of day care due to the pandemic, he couldn't write and have no interest in drawing. Within a month of being at Le Parc Place with Ms. Mariana, he was writing the alphabet and obsessed with drawing. They have a ton of activities for the kids like music, art, soccer, yoga, and local field trips. Their health and safety protocols are super strong and we feel so safe there. We couldn't be happier! read more

Amazing preschool (for ages 2.5 to 5/pre-k). My son has been here for 1.5 years. The diversity in staff and students, classroom quality, and variety of activities are great. From day 1, we appreciated that the director runs the school well and is great at communicating with students and parents. The curriculum is appropriate, educational and teaches various skills to prepare toddlers for kindergarten. The teachers are truly hardworking and wonderful, especially in the little Lavas class (Ms. S and Ms. D and Ms R). They truly care for my son and were very attentive and contributed greatly to his development. read more

My 3 year old daughter has attended LPP since May, and we and she couldn't be happier. The teachers and director embody the perfect mix of kindness, love, organization and direction. The schedule is incredibly diverse, with lots of time for play, activities, varied enrichment classes, and the occasional field trip. My daughter is learning so much, and making great friends along the way. The school is also just a short walk to the Maplewood train station, so it's ideal for commuting parents as well. Highly recommend LPP! read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! We have had two kids at LPP now, starting in January 2020 and still have ~2 more years to go with our youngest. Nadia is an incredibly thoughtful, organized, and communicative director who staffs the center with true experts in early childhood education. Both of our children have grown leaps and bounds in their confidence, communication, and independence thanks to LPP -- and they surprise us all the time with showing us they've learned to write letters, numbers, started to appreciate books, etc. Our son has graduated and moved onto elementary school now and we can see the strong foundation he had from LPP serving him well in a larger school setting now. The entire center is warm, organized, well-run, and has navigated countless challenges thanks to Covid incredibly successfully. We couldn't recommend more highly! read more

Le Parc Place is a great daycare, with some amazing staff. Our daughter has been going to Le Parc for almost a year and we have seen major progression and growth. Le Parc staff treats your child like their own and I feel extremely at ease when my daughter is there. The location is great and they even have an app where you receive daily updates and pictures of the activities. The community of Le Parc parents are also a major plus, very involved and active. Will give a special kuddos to our daughters teacher Mrs. Chrissy who goes above and beyond every day. She deeply cares about the children and will often give us advice/activities on how to help her learn more at home. I would highly recommend Le Parc to any parent looking for a daycare. read more

My daughter has been at LPP for 3 months and has thrived at this school. The school is smaller than other daycares/schools we were considering, which was the right choice for us because the children get closer interactions with friends and teachers. The director is incredibly loving, organized, and professional. The teachers are all wonderful and have great communication. The school organizes various enrichment classes (art, music, sports), field trips, and activities for the kids, which have been amazing. Location is also excellent, and the school takes advantage of the lovely town we live in. Cannot speak highly enough about LPP! read more

If I could give Le Parc Place 6 stars I would! If you're nervous about sending your child to school for the first time, this is the place for you. The environment is kind and nurturing with the exact right amount of play and learning. The staff and teachers truly care for the kids as if they were their own. Both of my children have attended LPP and loved every second! read more

My three year old recently started at Le Parc Place and absolutely loves it. He cries on the weekends because he can't go to school. The teachers are incredibly caring and attentive. I'm always so impressed with the activities and projects I see them doing. He comes home with the cutest artwork. The school feels very organized and offers an app that you can use to check in on your kids or see photos etc. W are very happy we found this school! read more

My son attended lpp 2 years ago, we move out of state and my son Sam is doing extremely well he still remembers experiences from when he attended LPP. Sam recently was tested for first grade and he placed out of his grade if that is even possible in first grade. When we congratulated him on doing well he shocked us when he said to my husband that he remembered things he was taught at LPP ( his teacher) Ms. Mary and it helped him with the answers. I had to share!!!!! read more
