The teachers are patient and kind and Miss Lily plans tons of activities each week. Our son has blossomed just by engaging in peer-to-peer programs. They are great about providing daily feedback on food, mood, and any challenges. Also, the schools hours are so accommodating for our dual-working parent household. He's transitioned to the next room so smoothly: ie. Group lunch and naps. The playground and garden are some of his favorite places to frequent. Even their holiday programs are so wonderful. It's a great community of teachers and families. We feel so lucky to be a part of the LTM family!

I have been so happy with Nobis for my two boys ages 1 & 3…read more My 3 year old son is very shy and was nervous about starting school. His teacher and the director have gone above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and get him involved. He adjusted quickly to the new environment and is excited daily to tell me about the many experiences that he had. Some of the experiences include working in the garden, painting, vehicles, singing, dancing, and much more. The teachers are so kind and patient causing his anxiety about the transition to school to vanish. One of my favorite moments of the day is going to pick up my youngest son from the infant room. The babies are always so happy and engaged. The teachers in the infant room are always actively playing with the babies and keep a very clean environment. They joyfully receive the babies in the morning and have a wealth of information about how the day went. He has flourished in his language development and has started using sign language at home. I highly recommend Nobis preschool.

She is thoughtful and thorough in her preparations and "invitations" she plans. She's organized and had a great outdoor set-up even including a private little outdoor potty. She genuinely loves being in nature herself and shared the awe and wonder of mother nature's creations with the kids as they discovered and noticed things each day. She's responsive to the kids needs and interests and shifted their daily rhythm if the kids were particularly engaged in something. Her experience in early childhood education is evident. I'd recommend Sandy Toes Nature Preschool to anyone who values quality early childhood education and recognizes the importance of being outdoors.

She is so attentive, always says hello to my son as soon as he walks in the classroom , and truly cares for him. She is also very attentive and creates such fun learning activities! What we really love about the school is how it's outside play learning which works so well for my son. He enjoys outside time and it's so great that they do this for a good amount of time. I also love how they communicate via sending photos and videos through an app which makes it nice to see what my son is doing each day at school. It's a great school, and has been a good fit for our family.

It truly feels like a second home, not just for our daughter, but for us as parents as well. The school is led by Priya. She is incredibly approachable, deeply caring, and always has the best interests of the children at heart. You can feel how much love and intention goes into every aspect of the school. We've seen our daughter grow in her communication, independence, and curiosity since starting here. She genuinely loves going to school, and we feel so lucky to have found a place that supports our daughter's growth. Prodigy has been such a blessing and we couldn't be happier to have had this experience for our child.

My two year old was attending the same school and we decided to transition him to Prodigy Montessori - for a better experience for him, and for a more convenient double drop off for me. Prodigy came highly recommended from our neighbor, whose son attends the school. In fact, she mentioned not only did they enjoy the school, but he was thriving. We have now been at Prodigy for two months and are so impressed with our son's development. Ms. Priya is lovely and so caring with the children. My son looks forward to seeing her and the other teachers and students, and gives Priya a BIG hug every morning. She is the owner but also onsite and devoted to the children. This is SO comforting knowing our son is in good hands. Our old preschool owner couldnt name one child at her school. Two is a challenging age, and Priya has been so helpful in including us in her teaching strategies and techniques. Every week there are new projects on display showing the children are constantly busy and developing. We are so pleased with our decision to transfer schools and highly recommend Prodigy.

From the very beginning, the staff created a warm, nurturing environment where he felt safe, supported, and excited to learn.

The teachers clearly care deeply about the children and go above and beyond to create meaningful experiences. Communication was always strong, and we felt like true partners in our child's development. If we hadn't moved, we would have absolutely stayed.
