My oldest son has been a student here for about 4 months, and I cannot say enough good things about…read morethis preschool! What's so great about it, you may be wondering.... Constant contact with the school. I receive weekly emails from the director, updating me on lesson plans and any special events (think field trips and fundraisers). The teachers call parents monthly to address any concerns or questions we may have. Each month, photos of my child are uploaded to a private Snapfish account. They're cloth diaper friendly! Your child brings their own lunch each day, or you can opt to order lunch (menus and order forms are available from the school). Right now, my sons options for ordering lunch are Mac and Cheese from McAlisters Deli one on day, or Grilled Chicken from Applebee's on another day. Refrigerators and microwaves are available in the classroom, so my son generally takes leftovers for lunch. Also, the school is completely nut free! Okay...but what about academics?? Each week has a theme. Let's take the week they learned about dental health as an example. It included making tooth artwork, reading books about teeth, a visit from a dentist and learning the Spanish word for teeth (diente). In the short time my son has been in attendance, he's made so much progress. Their program truly is Kindergarten Prep. I can't wait until my younger son begins school here in the fall.

It has been such a FANTASTIC experience. The director knew every kid by name. The teachers were superb and absolute saints! They taught her so much this past year. My kid never wanted to miss school, not even for fun stuff. She knows her alphabet, numbers, some blends, colors, shapes, how to behave in a structured environment, and more. I felt she was safe and very well cared for. Absolute five stars and will recommend to anyone else who lives in the area.

It's simply the best school to prepare young learners for a successful educational journey. The staff is exceptional... dedicated, nurturing, and deeply knowledgeable. I can't compliment them enough. Their commitment to each child's growth, both academically and personally, is evident in everything they do. Many of us in education have entrusted Londonderry with our own children because we knew they would be in the best hands. The environment is structured, yet warm and inspiring, exactly what young minds need to thrive. If you're looking for a place where your child will be both loved and challenged, Londonderry Montessori is it. - Heather B

The teachers and staff here have been great to us and our daughter, she has made some new friends and is learning to socialize with other children. The pricing is great, a little below average pricing for preschools in the area. I guess my only gripe is the preschool meets 8am til 12pm; I would rather school start at 7:30 and go all day so it didn't interfere with my work schedule. But I do understand that's how most preschools are and we are lucky and happy to have found St. Timothy's.

Please be cautious before trusting St Luke's Children's Center w/ your kids…read more My daughter attended St Luke's CC. She had behavior issues. One morning, after a long, difficult struggle, we decided to spank her. Because I stupidly believed their whole "working together" pitch, I mentioned to her St Luke's teacher that I had spanked our daughter. WITHOUT A SINGLE WORD, they waited til I left, photographed my daughter's back side (no marks), and called the cops! DSS got involved and - that same day - told me I'd done nothing wrong. A DSS management-level person asked to meet with me and told me DSS had similar "over-reactions" from St Luke's Childrens Center. She asked me to keep her statement between me and her, then she suggested I switch preschools. DSS closed the incident that same day. Several teachers at St. Luke's also suggested I change pre-schools - requesting anonymity bc they feared losing their jobs. I went to the preschool director and politely asked what in the world she was thinking when she called the cops. She bobbed and weaved, but essentially admitted her motivation was that she disagreed with corporeal punishment, even though it's legal in this state. I had to request my meeting with the Children's Center director. None of the church leaders reached out to me during any of part of this. I got my daughter out of St. Luke's as quietly as possible, not wanting to make waves that would scar her further. But this incident hurt her at the time and hurt our family, our trust in church, our trust in God... I have waited a considerable time to post this review because I don't want anyone who spoke to me on condition of privacy to get any blow-back. I looked at their website, it appears the St. Lukes CC director at the time this happened is gone, as are sonof the teachers. In retrospect, I think the director at the time and a cliche of teachers put their desire to be social engineers ahead of the best interest of my daughter. I don't even like to drive past St. Luke's. I would never recommend St. Luke's Childrens Center to anyone. ******* Seven months since I posted this review. Notice there has been ZERO response from anyone at St. Luke's. Not surprising. They can't openly say who they are or what they stand for. When called out on their actual motivations, they can only hunker down in silence. Not people you want shaping your child's character.

My child graduated this year from Christ Lutheran Preschool and will be entering kindergarten. I…read morecould not be happier about the care and education that my son received. We moved to Hilton Head from another state where he attended very prestigious schools. This school has been both his and his parent's favorite school. At the end of the day, he would not want to leave. I am a teacher and a former Head Start teacher. I was extremely impressed with their curriculum and learning centers. The school is well stocked with quality educational supplies and toys. The teachers are educated in the field, which is hard to find at a preschool level. The children where always actively playing or learning every time I observed. Even at nap time, when my child did not nap, the teacher would teach him individually. My son excelled both emotionally, socially, and academically at this school. There were some concepts that I had planned to teach him over the summer that are advanced for his age. I was pleasantly surprised that he had learned these concepts at school. Being an educator for that age, I have been to numerous schools. The teachers and children are the happiest that I have seen at any preschool. The teachers are not only excellent educators, they are wonderful nurturers. My child is an only child and needed help learning how to share and manage his emotions around other children. This school taught him these skills. The highest end schools in a large city did not work with him to teach him the skills. Teachers have to be very skilled and patient to teach a child how to manage emotions. I wish that we had moved sooner. My son is the happiest that he has ever been. My husband and I can say that Christ Lutheran Preschool is an excellent preschool. They go beyond the normal duty and provide music, chapel, learning activities, and family activities. Our family and my son have wonderful memories due to the school and staff. The staff was always very supportive of our needs. We will miss my son attending this school.
