Our now 4 year old has been at Esperanza since she was 2 years old. She went to another much…read moresmaller, daycare previously which we loved but since we moved we had to find another daycare. We came to Esperanza upon recommendation from a family friend with a child and we are SO GRATEFUL for that recommendation. Our child is currently in the 3-4s class called the Angelfish which is led by Ms Lisa and Ms Ruby. Prior to entering angelfish, our child was VERY clingy, very quiet around her peers, and ALWAYS had to have her stuffie. Sure it was cute, but when you literally cannot go one single place without a stuffed animal and God forbid you lose the stuffie I felt like my little kiddo was hanging onto being a baby for as long as possible. There were noticeable positive changes once she entered angelfish classroom, the teachers were kind and encouraging but they stuck to certain boundaries which I REALLY appreciate because I know children need structure, clear rules, and a safe and nurturing environment to thrive but sometimes it's hard doing that for the few hours of time you have with your child at home. Although our child was very very nervous to make the transfer to her new class, we noticed within a month or two, she loved her stuffie but no longer needed it everywhere she went. She regularly started using new positive/kind language (which she got from her teachers :) ), she became much more social with kids at the parks, she would sit and eat her ENTIRE meal before getting up to play. The list goes on. These may sound like small things or things that might naturally have occured at her age, but we know these things in particular were highly motivated and clearly demonstrated at her daycare on a consistent basis. Outside of our childs behavior, my husband and I have been so impressed with the thorough communication from the teachers and the school. Esperanza and their teachers are highly communicative and do so in respectful manners. We also really like the teachers in general. Ms Lisa, Ms Ruby, Ms Franny, and Ms Tina, Ms Lydia and Ms Valerie have all been great to get to know over the last 1-2 years. I'm also so surprised that even though the school is quite large, MOST teachers we walk past know our child's name and always greet her (teachers I've never seen or met. I ask my child who they are and if they're nice and she's always replied that they are super nice to her ) I'm so glad that we chose Esperanza where there are like.. literally 6-8 playgrounds for kids to play, high parent and teacher engagement, and a safe space for our little one to grow into a big girl We are especially grateful to Ms Lisa and Ms Ruby as this is our last few months at Esperanza before we move states, they've been such great leaders for our classroom and I know all the angelfish parents feel this way as we get together quite frequently and I've only ever heard positive remarks about our teachers

They also have the worst admin services with the owner only interested in money, they held on to 3 months of tuition and refused to refund anything after telling me they can't keep my kid on their program. When you try to engage with the owner, she goes mute after payment. They do have some nice staff but their leadership, starting from the owner, is woeful, prioritizing money over everything else and summer program is very lame to say the least. I would avoid as much as possible if you want good value for your money. The school is absolutely becoming a shadow of its old self

After everything we experienced with my son's previous school, I was terrified to trust another…read moreschool with him. As the mother of an autistic, nonverbal child, you constantly worry about whether people will have the patience to understand your child, whether they will accept their differences, and whether they will truly give them a chance. This school has completely changed that fear for me. From day one, they welcomed my son exactly as he is. They didn't see a diagnosis. They didn't see a burden. They saw a little boy who deserved the same opportunity to learn, grow, feel safe, and be loved as every other child. And in such a short amount of time, I have watched him BLOSSOM. He is making progress, becoming more confident, and most importantly, **he is finding his voice.** For a mother who has spent years wondering when or how she would get to hear her child express himself, there are simply no words for what that means to me. The difference wasn't my son. He simply needed people willing to understand him. Thank you to every teacher and staff member who has shown him patience, kindness, and genuine acceptance. Thank you for celebrating his progress, no matter how small. Thank you for giving me the peace of knowing that when I leave my baby with you, he is somewhere he is wanted and supported. You have reminded me that the right environment can bring out things in a child that others may never have taken the time to see. My son isn't just attending school--he is thriving, growing, and finding his voice. And for that, I will forever be grateful.

Ms. Reeves is a tremendous asset to La Petite Academy, and I highly recommend this location to families looking for quality care and dedicated leadership.

They make sure the children are learning and are engaged at all times. I love the interaction Ms.Cody, Ms.Jenny, and Ms.Annie have with my child. Each time my son is coming into class he always has a smile on his face. My son is always happy to come to school because of these three ladies. I appreciate them so much for making this experience with my son attending Mariner a great experience for me and my family. My other son who is currently 5 months old also attends Mariner and it was a hard transition for me. But Ms.Evelyn, Ms.Joy, Ms.Virgina, and Ms.Blanca have definitely made it a lot easier for me and my family to feel relieved that he is in the best of hands. My son is always happy when he attends school. He is always smiling and baby talking all the time he sees his teachers. I appreciate these ladies so much. They are very sweet and are always supportive. I would definitely recommend Mariner because the staff there is amazing. Ms.Nataly and Ms.Daniella have definitely made a difference in the school and they are always so supportive with my family.

Our daughter has attended Mariner Montessori in the Heights for over a year, since she started…read moredaycare at 5 months old. We have had the pleasure of being in 3 different classes, each with caring and attentive teachers. Our initial transition was difficult because she would not take a bottle at first. In Infant 1 class, Ms. Eudora was patient, creative and persistent until our daughter was a bottle drinking champ. In Infant 2, Ms. Cody and the team provided so many exciting activities and were so excited to share updates as our daughter's language, social, fine motor and gross motor skills progressed. In the Infant 3 class, we have seen her vocabulary and motor skills grow even more. Ms. Yaleni, Ms. Ana and Ms. Evelyn make sure all her needs are met and she is academically stimulated. We have always felt our daughter is safe and cared for as an individual and as a growing learner while at Mariner. The building is new and is kept clean and decorated for various seasons and holidays. The play area is expanding thanks to the school's acquisition of an adjacent lot. Parents are kept updated through a weekly email newsletter and daily through the ProCare app. Teachers update the app for naps, diaper changes and meals as well as posting pictures of activities once or twice a day. Parents can chat directly with teachers through the app as well. The school provides healthy, age appropriate meals included in the price of tuition.
