This has been a flawless experience for our family. Emma started at 3 and is now 4 1/2. She is…read moreabsolutely ready for kinder. Here are some reasons I loved this preschool: 1. Teachers and staff have been amazing, kind, helpful, thoughtful and fun! 2. Academically: lessons are great and Emma is already able to read many sight words and words. She basically read her first book the other day. 3. They prepare special ways to celebrate holidays and fun dates. Never dull. Emma loved saint Patrick's and Christmas. We have lots of cute videos that are shared on these fun days. 4. They teach wonderful bible stories and songs. I was amazed when Emma began singing about 9 fruits of the Spirit song the other day when she noticed I needed to calm down. 5. The drop off and pick up drive through is really easy and I appreciate the staff being outside to help! Our family is so grateful for the time we had Emma there. This is her last year and we are sad to go.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Little Star and the incredible teachers, Maria and…read moreJoana. As a mom, and as someone who has worked in child development for over 15 years, including nearly five years at Bing Nursery School at Stanford, where the most advanced, research-based approaches to early childhood development are practiced. I recognize excellence when I see it. Maria and Joana truly embody that same philosophy. Their approach is warm, affectionate, and thoughtfully child-centered. The environment is relaxed and nurturing, far from a rigid or overly structured setting. They beautifully incorporate Montessori principles along with the Bing philosophy that "playing is serious work." The children are constantly engaged in creative, hands-on learning, with plenty of STEM-based activities throughout the day. What also stands out is the level of communication and transparency. They share pictures and videos all day long, allowing parents to feel connected and reassured. It's clear the children are thriving. The meals are another highlight: incredibly healthy, balanced, and thoughtfully prepared. My daughter, who used to struggle with food, is now excited to eat! The children sit together at a pleasant table and enjoy a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins everything is nutritious, creative, and appealing. Most importantly, the care they give is truly above and beyond. Every child feels seen, loved, and valued. My daughter literally counts the minutes to go back to her "Little Star family"and sometimes even cries when it's time to leave because she wants to keep playing. That says everything. We've seen such beautiful growth in her cognitive and emotional development in a short time. As parents, we couldn't feel more at peace or more grateful. If you have the opportunity, choose Little Star for your child. It is a truly special place.

Originally we intended to have our boys go here until they're old enough for public school. However now we want to keep them in Montessori as long as possible since they are thriving. I receive updates from the school regularly on the transparent classroom app including pictures of my kids in class. It's always awesome to see what they're working on. For example just the other week my five year old was introduced to multiplication! There are tons of manipulatives in the classroom that make the learning hands on and engaging. I love that my boys are able to learn at their own pace and they are able to work with classmates to share ideas. The staff are all very kind, patient and supportive. If you're at all considering it give them a call and schedule a tour.
