    We have been part of the Piper Preschool family since our son started in the Poppy classroom, and…read morenow he's thriving in the Johnny classroom. From day one, the staff at Piper has been incredibly loving, nurturing, and attentive. It's clear how much they care about each child's development and happiness. One of the things we truly appreciate as parents is the regular updates we receive throughout the day via Procare. Whether it's a picture of a special moment or a note about how he's doing, it gives us so much peace of mind knowing what's happening in his day. Additionally, Piper's community room is a fantastic resource that allows me to get work done while being nearby. It's such a unique and thoughtful offering that adds to the sense of being part of a supportive, caring community. The campus is beautifully put together and taken care of! And I can't say enough wonderful things about Rainbow, one of the directors. She is truly amazing - always warm, approachable, and eager to make sure every family feels welcome and heard. My son literally RUNS to her, to give her a hug!!! We feel so fortunate to be a part of this wonderful preschool, and we can't imagine a better place for our son to grow and learn! The founders have made such an amazing place for kids to learn, be creative, become empathetic, and be loved! + they have made a place for community and FAMILY!

Classroom ratios was one of the big things that drew us to piper, as my son has very serious allergies but the attention to detail & questions that they ask at the start and continue to ask is what makes me feel safe taking my son to school. As an allergy mommy is special to see your son Participate in all events without feeling different, the staff and teachers do a great job of letting me know in advance wants coming so I can prepare my soon food. Piper is a special place and we are thankful to be apart do the community.

    We've been incredibly fortunate to be part of the LePort community for over ten years. My son has…read moregrown up at LePort--starting in the Mandarin program, then Westpark, and now the Spectrum North campus. With just a year and a half left before he graduates, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the amazing teachers and administrators who have guided him along the way. My son has truly grown up a happy child who loves school, and I attribute so much of that to LePort. I'm constantly told what a wonderful young man he is, and I believe the character-building foundation at LePort Montessori has been exceptional in shaping who he is today. At LePort Spectrum North, he has had the most caring and thoughtful teachers--Ms. Jacobs, Ms. Masha, Ms. Cassandra Kolacinski, Ms. Lauren, and Ms. Robin. We are thoroughly enjoying the middle school program: it blends Montessori principles with strong academics and emphasizes helping others, self-discipline, time management, and critical thinking. During alumni night, every graduate shared that they felt extremely well prepared for high school after completing LePort's middle school program. Thank you, Ms. K, Ms. Lauren, and Ms. Robin, for everything you do! I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the phenomenal administrative team--Head of School Ms. Krista, Business Manager Ms. Karyn, and Admin Support Ms. Jen. You make the school run seamlessly, and I love the new subjects, events, and programs you bring to the community. Thank you--it has truly been a joy to be part of LePort.

    This review is for the South campus…read more Both of my daughters started at LePort in the Spanish Immersion when they were 18 months old. My older daughter did great in the toddler program but we started to see issues when she moved to Primary. I met with Ms. Ana many times where we tried bringing in books from home or I sent her pictures and Ms. Ana made a special work item for my daughter to keep her interest. Eventually we found out that my daughter is Autistic. At that point I asked Ms. Ana to work with me to have a Behavioral Therapist in the school with my daughter. Very long story short, this Montessori environment is not the right environment for my neurodivergent child. But over the last 2 years I have spent upwards of 50 hours on the phone and in Ms. Ana's office trying to find ways to help my daughter succeed. Ms. Ana never gave up trying to help us. I love the Montessori curriculum and LePort was able to nurture my daughter's intelligence where she has just turned 5 and is reading chapter books and learning division. My younger daughter is currently having a blast in Ms. Ivette's classroom. A word of advice for parents experiencing behavioral issues - get your child assessed. My relationship with my daughter improved infinitely once I had professionals helping me understand how her mind works and how to speak to her in a way that she understands.

    Our daughter started at MPCS in 2023, and finished her pre-k class with Ms Amy, Ms Venus and Mr…read moreErick last May. This was so bittersweet, as we all wished that she could stay longer (as long as possible) in Marco Polo! We didn't want to leave! We were a part of such a tight-knit, warm, supportive, and welcoming community - the teachers, fellow parents, all the students - that I truly believe that the bond forged and positive effects gleaned (both academic and non-academic) will last well into the future. We felt that the Reggio Emilia approach worked so well in helping kids of different character traits and temperaments grow according to their own pace and strengths. We loved all the teachers that have taught our daughter, as well as others we saw every single day in their various supporting roles (admin, front desk, meal times, science, subs, etc). It took a village, and boy was that village awesome. We could feel that the teachers (and everyone else) working there truly were there because they loved kids, and they loved helping kids thrive. The Preschool and Pre-K programs were particularly notable and instrumental in their roles in helping our daughter get more than ready for her kindergarten year (and beyond). Under the relatively new leadership of Ms. Kimberly, I saw notable improvements in terms of the variety of interesting new subjects, activities, and a stronger sense of direction, leadership, and community. We can't possibly thank Marco Polo enough for helping shape our daughter, for encouraging and loving her, and for supporting us throughout. Ms Amy, Ms Venus, Mr Erick, Ms Paris, Ms Fatemeh, Ms Destinee, Ms Kimberly, Ms Jing, Ms Caitlin, Mr Ruben, Ms Lisa, Ms Janet, and everyone else - you truly made Marco Polo such a wonderful journey for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    We will forever be grateful to Marco Polo. Our daughter started attending when she was just two…read moreyears old, and now at four, we're blown away by how much she's grown. Her vocabulary has taken off, she's genuinely curious about the world, and most importantly, she's confident in who she is. She absolutely loves going to school. The teachers are warm, passionate, and deeply care about the children. They create an environment where learning feels like joyful discovery. The curriculum is thoughtfully play-based and beautifully rooted in nature and the world around them. Marco Polo has played such a meaningful role in shaping who our daughter is becoming. We couldn't ask for more.

The environment is peaceful, spotless, and designed with so much intention--from the low shelves to the natural, developmentally appropriate materials. Our son has absolutely thrived here. We've watched him grow in ways that continue to amaze us--gaining confidence, developing fine motor skills, and becoming more independent each week. It's clear that the Montessori approach is being implemented with a deep understanding of infant development, and it's been so beautiful to watch our son respond to that. The caregivers are warm, attentive, and truly gifted in working with little ones. Ms. Julia has created a calm, structured rhythm that makes our son feel secure and supported. Knowing that he is in such a safe, clean, and loving space brings us so much peace of mind. I truly love the individual attention that each family gets. We are treated with a lot of respect and personal touch. Little Explorers Montessori has been incredible, working around our schedule and being super flexible. We also appreciate many enrollment options, even for infants (which most schools do not offer). And finally, they use an app where they post updates through out the day! It is very convenient for the infant so that we are aware of the feeding, diaper changes and naps. Makes it much easier and beneficial to keep the routine going! We have been here for a little over a year and have more years to come! Big thanks to the team of Little Explorers!

    This daycare has brought happiness not only to my son but to our whole family. We are truly…read moregrateful. It has all the advantages of a home-based daycare, without any of the typical drawbacks. Here are just a few reasons why: The teachers are everything when it comes to choosing a place to care for young children -- and in that regard, this daycare scores beyond perfect. Ms. Julia and Mr. Vlad, along with their amazing staff, always greet the children with warm smiles. They are caring, patient, and handle discipline with just the right amount of firmness and kindness. As a result, the kids both love and respect them -- and they listen well! The daycare uses the entire first floor of their home plus the backyard, creating a cozy, homey atmosphere. But at the same time, the space is fully designed for children -- much like a larger preschool. There are swings, a slide, a seesaw, and even rabbits and parrots for the children to enjoy! Despite being a home daycare, there are engaging daily activities, many of them Montessori-based. There's even gentle academic learning, tailored to the kids' pace. In just 3-4 months, our child joyfully mastered phonics here! Every week there's also a "Show and Tell" time that our child would look forward to -- likely because the teachers are so encouraging. They also make sure play is part of every day. In the summer, there's daily water table play. They even change each child into dry clothes afterward -- something many parents, including myself, would find hard to do at home every single day. Because of all this, our child -- who struggled to adjust emotionally at a large preschool before -- became visibly happier at this daycare. He looked forward to going each day, shared lots of joyful stories about his teachers and friends at home, and even sometimes asked to stay longer at pickup time!

The school's team, Maria, Samantha, Irina, and Ivy, have created an environment that provides much more than just great academics. They have created a second home for our children where they feel loved, respected, and cared for. They wake up every morning with excitement to go to school. Since our children started attending Pomegranate, their childcare-related illnesses have subsided. We attribute that to the perfect cleanliness of the space and the much lower number of children in the group compared to other schools. Ms. Maria cooks homemade, healthy lunches for all kids every single day, and the kids love it. Our children love their teachers, Ms. Irina and Ms. Samantha, and greatly enjoy working with them. They've learned a lot very quickly and seem very excited about the learning process, which feels like play for them. The classrooms are beautiful and cozy. Children literally fall in love with the space the moment they see it. Holidays at Pomegranate are always fun for the kids, with many organized activities (e.g., Santa visiting and giving out presents). We recommend Pomegranate Schools to everyone living in the area. We wish every family and every kid the opportunity to experience a school like that.
