I want to acknowledge all of the wonderful teachers, staff, and especially the Director, Mrs. Karen, for their dedication and care. The Montessori approach, combined with the academic and extracurricular programs, truly supports children in developing their academic, emotional, social, and communication skills. My son, who is now 17, attended OC Montessori Academy years ago, and now my daughter is enrolled. One of the most meaningful parts of our experience is that my son's preschool teacher, Ms. Teama, is now my daughter's teacher -- which speaks volumes about the consistency and long-term commitment of the staff. I was amazed to see how quickly my daughter began reading and writing in kindergarten. She has advanced tremendously, and the confidence she carries in her learning has been incredible to witness. I was especially impressed when she volunteered to recite a poem for her Kindergarten graduation. This moment showed how OC Montessori Academy empowers children with confidence, independence, and public communication skills that will benefit them for life. I'm so grateful for the foundation OC Montessori and incredible staff has given both of my children. This school is truly a gem!

Over the years,…read moreall three of my children have attended this school and each of them had a wonderful experience. The teachers and staff are incredibly caring and dedicated, creating a safe and nurturing environment where kids can truly thrive. The tuition is very reasonable compared to many other programs and the school is flexible and supportive of families. My children absolutely love their time here and grew so much... Not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. As a former Montessori student myself It's been so meaningful to see the same values and quality of education carried forward for my own kids. I wholeheartedly recommend montessori children's world to any parent looking for a loving, supportive and enriching school community.

This review is long overdue, as our family is coming up on the end of our time at LLP after 4…read morewonderful years and two children later. We came to LLP per word of mouth from a friend who was about to enroll their child as a student. I found out there were about 3 families from our church that were all sending their children here, and my son was at another preschool at the time. We made the switch because of the families, and at the time my son was a bit speech delayed- after touring here I felt strongly that he would thrive here, and he did! We enrolled him during summer session as a 2 year old, and he stayed all the way until he was 4 and it was time to go to TK in the fall. He ended his full time enrollment while being in the Tigers class, which is the 4yo class before being in official TK, and through the love and care of all the teachers here, he was beyond ready for public school TK. You would never have known this kid was speech delayed by the time he went to public school. His public school TK teacher had said during back to school night that my son was helping other children roll up their blankets for nap time, and I fully give credit to his time at LLP! While my first son ended his time at LLP, my 2nd son was able to enroll as soon as he turned 2 just as my first son was off to TK, so it was so sweet to have back to back enrollment with the teachers already being familiar with little brother. The 2nd child's enrollment at LLP were reminders of how quick time flies, because by the time he was enrolled I knew all the annual events that occur such as the thanksgiving potluck, the Christmas program, drive-in movie day, and pedal to the medal- all of which I truly made sure he participated and I was present for. My first son was able to return to LLP for the last two summers, and now My 2nd son is about to go to TK, and both of them as well as me will terribly miss our time. My 2nd son has thrived in his own way, he was the shy kid that wouldn't smile when he first came but over time he became smilier and galloped into the class every morning. There's definitely been a lot of changes in 4 years, some teachers and staff have come and gone, but I can say the care of each child has still remained all along! They will take safety seriously and communicate well with all parents. They will encourage each child to be independent especially when potty training- and trust me both my sons had their moments of learning how to be restroom independent that I give credit to their consistency at LLP. Many basic everyday life skills will be learned, and I definitely encourage the consistency! We hope to return for summer session if enrollment availability is there! If you're on the fence but have made it this far in the review, please give the director a call or email and you won't regret it. Attached are some cute crafts that you as a parent will adore especially when your child's picture is utilized as the craft, I was blessed that I got to see both kids do the same picture crafts for different years at the same age

Not only that, he had some great friends with him. These are all skills and friends he made while attending Patti's Preschool for the past 1 1/2 years! We were on their waiting list for years and when we got the call, we were thrilled our son could go to Patti's and get a taste for "real school". It was beyond our expectations. Patti herself knows our entire family by name and often greets us personally at drop off or pick up. Miss Susan and Miss Pam were his teachers both during the year and for summer camp, and both are warm, funny, caring and supremely patient preschool teachers. When I tell friends and family about the pony rides, magic shows, "mad science" special guests, and puppy days at Patti's, they can't believe it! We feel so lucky to have had the chance to experience Patti's program and our son is set up for a lifetime of LOVING learning. If you are looking for a program for your child, part time, full time, or summer camp, look no further. From the front desk team to late afternoon teaching crew to Patti herself, you will immediately feel part of the Patti's Preschool family. Get on the list... it's worth it!

The teachers care for these children beyond just teaching them lessons and making sure they are alive when you pick them up. They are all young and enthusiastic. My kids hug all the teachers before we leave and talk about their amazing day when we get home. They have become an integral extension of our family and my children genuinely love being there. I know because when I pick them up it is like pulling teeth to get them to go home. There are activities lined up and they let kids be kids. But, they also make sure the development of the children is utmost, academically and emotionally. I have been able to text and sit down to talk about the behaviors of my girls with the director and teachers. They are all in school and further deepening their early childhood education and I can see how they employ and execute that in the classroom as well. I have developed such a deep respect for all of the teachers here. Words really can't express how amazing this place is. Don't be fooled by the old church building they occupy. There's so much more to caring for your children than that. Orangefield really and truly care for your child. They involve the families and encourage positive reinforcement. Thank you and love you Orangefield! You are doing an amazing job!
