The teacher truly cares about what she does. She's patient, very hands-on, and gives each child individual attention. You can tell she's passionate and genuinely invested in the kids, not just "watching" them. The space is clean, organized, and thoughtfully set up. It is safe and welcoming, and a lot of thought went into making it a true Montessori environment. Her curriculum is detailed and intentional. My kids learned so much ..not just academically, but socially too. Honestly, they were learning above what I expected at their age. I also really appreciated how seriously she takes safety. That gave me so much peace of mind. I never worried when my kids were there. Overall, if you're looking for a caring, safe, and strong Montessori environment where your child will really grow, this is a great place.

From the very beginning, she treated him with patience, kindness, and genuine care. She helped him learn good manners, guided him through age-appropriate activities that supported his growth, and always made sure he was comfortable and eating well. As parents, it means everything to know your child is safe, happy, and understood--and she truly gave us that peace of mind. We have seen such positive changes in our son, and we know it's because of her dedication and warmth. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference in our child's early years. We will always appreciate you.

I put in a request to schedule a tour of the school…read more Because I answered "everyone" to a question about who would be masked in the "ideal" circumstance, I received a two sentence email thanking me for my interest and telling me they are a "mask free school." Never mind the fact that I was not insisting on masks and merely answered a question about what would be ideal. Not to mention, I didn't mean that this should be a year round policy--only if and when necessary. They didn't even ask if I had questions that might address any concerns, or if I would even like to tour the school and learn about the program. In my opinion, this is unprofessional. Not sure why I was treated this way.

LPPP in Mission Viejo was recommended to us by a friend who had her 3 children attend and are now…read morealumni. We did a walk-through of the school and didn't need to look anywhere else. Our son started with the Parent & Me classes. It was a great way to ease kids and parents into the world of play-based preschool. The Parent & Me classes are led by Teacher Jackie (all the teachers are amazing, btw) and she not only prepares your child for preschool by focusing on the child's well-being and social emotional skills but the parents as well on managing expectations around this age and how to help reinforce the lessons learned at LPPP by implementing them into your home. I can honestly say that attending these classes made me more comfortable when it came time to start the 3-year-old classes and initiate drop offs. Our son now attends the 3-year-old class and is really thriving. We watched our only child learn how to engage with other children and follow direction better. He's now formed friendships with his classmates. He loves learning about different cultures, exploring the sciences, and listening to stories but his favorite is still playtime. Parents also continue to be educated at monthly meetings in order to support their children inside and outside the classroom. LPPP is special in that it gives the parents opportunities to engage and contribute to the school. It has been such a blessing being there to watch my son learn and grow at LPPP. We've already signed him up for next year!

When I say this school is an OC hidden gem, it's an understatement! My daughter had the privilege…read moreof attending Lppp for the last two years and I'm beyond grateful. I have never met a group of teachers that  cared so much about each individual child's needs. Our first year there, my daughter was struggling with transitions especially during pick up time. Teacher Jackie went out of her way to come up with a plan to help my daughter. She would also walk with us to our car to help minimize any additional behaviors. I don't know many schools where the director of the school will walk you to your car to help with your child's transitions. Any emotional or behavioral concerns the teachers will come up with a game plan and implement it to help your child grow. The support they offer is unmatched. Also, every month is educationally play themed and so much fun for the kids. My daughter was excited everyday for school. She loved lppp so much. Everyday I dropped her off, I knew she was in good hands. They also had monthly parent night where all the parents would get together and teacher Jackie would go over topics to help us parents implement support strategies for our kids. When I say this school cares, I mean it. It was truly a magical two years that I am forever grateful for.

Our oldest attended VMC from 2 years to leaving for kindergarten today at 5.5, and our youngest…read more(almost 11 months old) is now following in her footsteps there. I cannot sing their praise enough. To echo what others have said in their reviews, what sets this school apart is how much they truly care for the kids and families who attend. It doesn't hurt that they're also very competitively priced, even compared to in home options. Their care was especially highlighted when I recently went through an unexpected challenging medical issue, and the director and her son were so loving, caring and understanding. They provided flexibility for the kids schedules which was so appreciated, checked in on me, and are overall just incredible humans. It's a family run business (hence director and her son). The director, Ms. Nayna, has years of Montessori teaching experience so she's able to jump in wherever is needed. She's lovingly firm, which is something I aspire to be (ha!). We've had a wonderful experience with all of the teachers we've had, and look forward to many more years there with our second daughter. Truly, cannot recommend them enough.

My daughter attended Village Montessori Center from 15 months old until she left for kindergarten…read moreat 5, so this school was a huge part of our lives for almost four years. Leaving was incredibly bittersweet. What always stood out to me was how genuinely loved and cared for she was. It's a small, family-owned school with very little staff turnover, and over the years her teachers really knew her. She learned so much there, but as a parent, knowing she was with people who truly cared about her meant everything. I have to shout out some of the amazing teachers who loved her through each stage. Her infant room was full of love with Ms. Marieva, Ms. Estephanie, and Ms. Naghma. Ms. Monika and Ms. Maria were absolutely wonderful during the toddler years. Ms. Nina is an amazing preschool teacher and has such a gift with kids, especially during those big-emotion preschool years. She gets silly with them and somehow knows exactly how to reach them. At one point, I noticed my daughter was skipping a few numbers when counting out loud. I tried correcting it at home and failed miserably. I mentioned it to Ms. Nina one morning, and by the next day she had fixed it. Ms. Shirin is incredibly kind and patient. One day she gave my daughter a tiny stuffed animal as a reward for having a good day. Years later, my daughter still treasures that little stuffy. It was such a small gesture, but it says a lot about the relationships these teachers build with the kids. And Ms. Roshani is an absolute gem. I was constantly impressed by how much she taught the kids. They learned about different countries and the United States, and somehow she even taught an entire class of preschoolers six different songs for their promotion ceremony! Watching them perform and seeing how much they had learned was such a special way to end our time there. The community was another unexpected gift. We became close with several families, and some of the parents I met there have become lifelong friends. Between that and the Halloween carnivals, holiday shows, art shows, and other little events over the years, we came away with so many great memories. After almost four years, Village Montessori really did feel like our little village. I'm so grateful my daughter got to spend such an important part of her childhood there, and I would absolutely recommend it to families looking for a smaller, loving Montessori where the teachers truly know and care about your child.

This has been…read moresuch a special place for our family and a huge part of our son's early growth and development. We started our son here when he was just 6 months old, and as a first time mom who is naturally very anxious, I was incredibly nervous about leaving him. I worried about everything. From day one, the guides took the time to get to know not just our son, but us as parents too. As time went on and as I built relationships with the team, my confidence grew because of the care, communication, and trust they created. Ms. Abi and her team have been absolutely incredible. Ms. Abi has been amazing at helping guide us through our son's milestones and development, always offering reassurance, insight, and support. Every single guide we have interacted with has shown genuine love and care for our son. Ms. Abi, Ms. Michelle, Ms. Marianna, Ms. Dora and so many others always took the time to give thoughtful updates about our son's day, which meant the world to us. Our son truly loves it here. He lights up every time we pull up to the building and is excited to see everyone inside. Knowing how happy and comfortable he was made all the difference for us. We are heartbroken to be leaving, only because we are moving out of state. This community has meant so much to our family, and we will always be grateful for the role they played in our son's early life. Thank you to everyone at Guidepost Foothill Ranch for creating such a warm, nurturing, and supportive environment. We will miss you all so much.

We have been so impressed with the Spanish Immersion program as well! it's been amazing to hear our child come home using Spanish words and phrases! Our children have grown tremendously in their independence, confidence, social skills, and communication. The teachers do such a wonderful job helping them reach important milestones while making learning fun and engaging. As busy working parents, we also love receiving updates throughout the day with Transparent Classroom where they post photos, meals, naps, and their toileting schedule. It gives us so much reassurance and helps us feel connected even while we're at work. The teachers have also been a wonderful source of guidance and support for us as we've grown into our roles as parents. We are incredibly grateful to the entire LePort Montessori team and highly recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing, engaging, and enriching environment for their children.

We have brought our daughter here for nearly four years starting in toddler class. We are very…read morefortunate to have had Ms. Adriana; after toddler class, Ms. Neda with the help of Ms. Flores. Because of them, we had stayed a year longer than we had originally planned. We will send our second if we had one. This location is located farther inside the complex so there is very limited through-traffic. Majority of through-traffic are other parents or school staff. You have to check-in and check-out your child for drop-off and pickup. It is nearly impossible for a child to wander out of the building without staff noticing. Ms. Wendy who is in charge of front desk area has been a pleasure to work with. As far as I have been there, she has known the names of all the children that go by the front-desk. My daughter and her friends are all happy to interact with her. If she was not there, there was someone else to make sure who goes in and out the front area. We had opted into the extended care which allows us to pick up our daughter later (4:30) than the standard school hour. This allows me to have more flexible time to pick her up after work. I believe they have option to extend farther (I think 6 but not confident). We also paid for the year long program which also allows additional care during the school's standard days off like spring break. For any random incidents like scraped knees, minor injury from playing, etc., are reported and provided to parents. Over a few years, there will definitely be students and parents that are not a good fit. We understand this can happen at any school. The staff were able to handle these situations to our satisfaction. Our overall experience was very good. I would recommend this location.
