We've had a wonderful experience with Learn And Play Montessori over the past almost two years. Both of my girls attend here, and we are very happy with the care, learning environment, and support from the staff. The teachers and staff are very friendly, caring, and attentive. Whenever we had any concerns or questions, they addressed them promptly and professionally. My kids are especially very close to Ms. Richa, and it's heartwarming to see the bond and comfort they have with her. A special mention to Ms. Neeraja for maintaining the school so well and for always being approachable and supportive. She truly cares about the children and parents, and makes sure concerns are addressed thoughtfully and promptly. Another thing we truly appreciate is the flexibility and understanding with parents' timings and schedules. It really helps working families. Overall, we highly recommend this school to parents looking for a safe, caring, and supportive Montessori environment for their children. read more

We've had such a lovely experience at Learn and Play Daycare in Dublin. The staff are warm, attentive, and really take time to know each child. Our little one comes home happy and full of stories about art and play. The place feels safe, clean, and genuinely caring. We're so grateful we found them. read more

Our son has been a part of this montessori for over 2.5 years now and I cannot be more thankful to the director and all the teachers here. They genuinely helped him grow and learn in all his different phases through these two years. Huge shout out to Ms.Neeraja for always putting the kids first and looking out for their overall well being. From all the events they do for kids, to working with parents based on each child's needs and ensuring social emotional learning, the teachers here put in so much effort in taking care of their students that I highly recommend this center for any parents looking for early child care. Special mention to Ms.Sheila who teaches kids with immense patience and always has their back. Ms.Jinu, Ms.Sara, Ms.Kanika, Ms.Chamu and Ms.Richa have all been very attentive and very hands on in our child's learning journey. We are so glad we found this place and very happy with how our child has grown here. Thank you to all the teachers here for creating a safe and caring space for little ones. read more

This is a truly wonderful school that addresses the full child. Within a week of my son starting he was pushing in chairs, cleaning up after himself, saying good morning to his teachers, and learning so much! He's been at learn and play for almost 2 years now and we are so impressed with all he's learned. Miss Kanika is truly a wonderful educator, she meets the children where they're at. For my son, she writes personalized comprehension pages and has taught him advanced instruction such as multiplication, division, and even parts of speech. Miss Genu and Miss Sarika are kind, wonderful educators and people. And then front desk always has smiling faces with Maria and the principal Miss Neerja. We can't measure the value this school has had on our son but we know it's been a transformative experience. I highly recommend this preschool for anyone looking for their child! read more

My girls started their day care/school experience here. They've learned so much and come home with new songs, different ideas, the coolest projects - i.e. they made functioning windmills, hand puppets and cars. Transitioning from being with their parents all day to going to school hasn't been the easiest for my eldest but she always ends up having so much fun and then hates leaving. For my youngest Ms. Sheila, Ms. Nicole and Ms. Lina have been pivotal. When she sees them, she screams their names and has the biggest smile. Their genuine interest and care for our kids is more that apparent. For my eldest some of the current educators that has helped her transition to TK (also in the school, but in a much bigger classroom and with a different curriculum) include Ms. Jinu and Ms. Kanika. Let's not forget Ms. Maria (administrator) and Ms. Neerajah (director) - even though they aren't teachers they are directly involved with the girls every single day, enriching their daily experience. read more

My son started attending LAPMS at the beginning of the year and we have seen him flourish in his social, language, and academic skills. We are so happy that we found a place that has been amazing from day one. Ms. Sheila has been so great and we are thankful for her patience as he adjusted from only being with his parents to a classroom setting. She was always reassuring and encouraging when he first started attending and having a hard time. Now he is happy every morning and looks forward to school and happily shows off an art project or starts singing a new song which makes me us so happy. I highly recommend LAPMS as my son is thriving and learning something new daily. Their admin is also very responsive and promptly answers any questions that may come up. We are very happy with our experience here! read more

My son has been enrolled here since the last year when he was 2 years. We saw a huge massive improvement in terms of his learning skills , motor skills and mainly speaking skills just in 3 months. A very special mention to his class teacher Ms. Sheila who was there and worked with him right from day 1. A few things about the Learn and Play at Silvergate Drive that I want to mention is that : 1.) They have a very good student to teacher ratio 2.)the teachers take time to focus on each kid individually and are very caring. 3.) They are very friendly and Ms.Neerja and Ms.Maria always give feedbacks on how the kids day went and if there are any concerns. We are very lucky to have enrolled him here . Thanks, Navya read more

We love LAPMS - Dublin. Ms Rhiannon, Kanika, Sarah, Jinu, Crystal and others are wonderful teachers who personally care for the students. Our daughter went to LAPMS right from up to Kindergarten. All the teachers ensured that she was growing academically, had fun through activities, and feeling secure and safe. The student teacher ratio is good. Our daughter got all the help needed to cope up in the weaker areas and excel overall! Ms Neeraja, the Director of the school has designed a well-rounded curriculum. It helps students build a solid foundation via experiential learning in the areas of geography, history, math, science and more. The music class, dance class, story time enable students to make all round progress. Thank you LAPMS! read more

We absolutely love this school! My child has always been very cautious with getting to know people, and especially letting them into her "circle". For example, she's still cautious with talking to or hugging our friends. At this school, all of the teachers are so kind to her and are so patient with her cautious little ways. She sometimes even runs up to hug teachers. She comes home with fun stories to tell and it's clear that she learns so much from everyone there. Each day we're in awe of the new things she's learning. At 2.5 years old, she's counting to ten and singing most of the ABCs correctly. It's astonishing. We had her on a waitlist for another school, which we originally thought would be better. When the other school had a spot open, my husband and I very easily said, that we love this school and wouldn't have her go anywhere else. All the teachers and staff members are genuine with their care for the kids. read more

My son just turned 2, so I was looking for a Montessori School for him. I toured a few schools and ultimately chose Learn and Pay Montessori School - Silvergate. I scheduled a tour and was greeted by Ms. Neeraja. The tour allowed me to observe the different classrooms and teacher/child interactions. She did an excellent job at answering all my questions. The enrollment process was smooth. My son had a difficult transition from staying at home with me to full time M-F 9am-5pm, which was expected. The teachers at LAPMS were superstars and were very supportive and patient with the transition. He improved day by day and felt comfortable attending LAPMS. Communication with LAPMS was seamless and they kept me updated about his daily progress. I also had the opportunity to call them during the day if I had any questions or concerns. My son enjoys all the different jobs that LAPMS has to offer and I am so happy to know that he is in good hands with all his teachers. read more

I recently had a pleasure of enrolling my son in Learn and Play Montessori school, for their Summer program. My son is the youngest of 3 siblings and this was his first experience in a formal school setting. They have dedicated and caring staff especially with Ms. Neeraja and Ms. Jinu. Their facility is well-maintained and safety is one of their main priorities. Lastly, they have a comprehensive curriculum that is well rounded, incorporating academic knowledge, social-emotional learning and physical activity. Thank you, LAPMS, my son Trent had an amazing time there! read more

I enjoy how the entire staff is kind and uplifting. My daughters enjoy coming here, and they are learning so many wonderful skills. Ms. Giselle is so attentive and kind towards the teachers. Thank you!!! read more

We have been sending our Daughter to this Montissory since a year now and we have had a great experience overall. Our daughter loves going to the school from day 1 and she has made a lot of good friends for life. Ms. Neeraja and all teachers are extremely sweet and great listeners. We have felt comfortable to bring up any concerns any time with the teachers and have been listened to and actions taken to help alleviate any worry as parents. Diversity, Teaching style and Discipline are all given attention to and we appreciate that. The curriculum is comprehensive and I like that our daughter enjoys learning as much as playing. The kids school festivities and events are fun and we love being part of that. This is a great place to send your kid without worry, we recommend it. read more

Dear Teachers & Staff, We wanted to extend our sincere thanks for the wonderful care and support you've provided to our daughter during her first two weeks. Your kindness and dedication have made her transition smooth and positive. Knowing she's in such capable hands beings us comfort and gratitude read more

The LAPMS Silvergate campus in Dublin has truly been a great experience for my daughter who attended for T-K and K (two full years). The Director Ms. Neerja along with the entire group of teachers Ms. Kanika, Ms. Jinu, Ms. Rhiannon, Ms. Crystal, Ms. Giselle, and front desk Ms. Maria are all wonderful. My daughter has thrived academically and socially, while the montessori structure has improved her confidence and ability to be a role model. Upon moving to the Tri-Valley area, I toured and considered many private school options and LAPMS was the best for us. The value of the hands-on attention and teacher to student ratio has been worth it for our family. read more

I send my daughter to this school. Most teachers are so caring and nurturing, have motherly instincts and fun. As a dad, what else can I ask for my baby girl? She is always happy and excited to go to school. She has picked up a lot of art skills from this school. Today was Father's Day celebration. I was touched with all the prep work that went in to recognize the importance of father figure in a child's life! Thank you Thank you teachers!! Y'all doing awesome -- keep it up read more

Our daughter been coming here over a year and she learned and grew so much. She would often sing songs and tell us things she learn from school, it is a great feeling knowing she is enjoying herself in LAPMS. The staffs are friendly and address our inquiries in a timely manner and Mrs. Neeraja (site director) has been very hands on as well. The interactions have been great! Thank you, LAPMS! read more

We absolutely love Learn & Play! The teachers are amazing and treat the children like their own. It's been such an amazing experience to watch our child learn and grow here. If you are considering a Montessori in the tri-valley area, don't pass them up! read more

Not the best montessori and avoid if possible: This feedback is from our experience and 3-4 parents had similar feedback. Problems: 1. There is only 1 teacher who can teach well and 3-4 supporting staff does not support much. 2. Kids pick up bad accent and its hard to correct. Its due to teachers. 3. Teachers keep complaining to kids parents about how their kids need to improve. They dont help on anything. 4. Kids keep wandering in class. read more

Our daughter started at Learn & Play Montessori when she turned three years old., in the middle of the pandemic (July 2020) when they had only eight children enrolled in the entire school. At that time they only had virtual tours, but we felt comfortable sending her to LAPMS because of their safety practices and the Montessori curriculum. After two years, my daughter graduated from pre-K at LAPMS. She has gained so much confidence, learned so many life skills, improved academically in math, writing and critical thinking. Thank you to the LAPMS staff and teachers for their support and guidance... hopefully our son will get to attend soon! read more

I can't say enough positive things about our experience at LAPM. It has truly been a game-changer for our child's education and development. Our daughter started attending the Silvergate location in January and moved to this location in August. She has continued to thrive due to the hard work of dedicated and passionate staff. I believe that they truly try to understand each child's unique needs and interests and tailor their approach to ensure that every student is receiving the attention they need. They take the time to answer any questions. Ms. Alondra is very caring and kind! A few weeks ago, I stopped by Ms. Kathy's office to ask her a question about the curriculum. She stopped everything that she was doing and took her time to give me the most detailed and articulated answer. She walked me through some of their stations and explained the concept behind the lessons. It was extremely informative. Above all, I was really impressed with her professionalism. Her passion for the curriculum really shined through our conversation, and it made me feel great about my daughter being in good hands. read more

Very friendly staff. Absolutely professional & family like. Big shout out to Ms.Neeraja and Ms.Celina. Thanks yet again and our son has a great time at your place. read more

Update 2-12-2019: I added one more star because the regional director contacted me directly to discuss about my daughter. That at least shows they are willing to communicate and resolve problems. Original 2-11-2019: I have put my two kids here for 4 months now. Experience has been good until recently my daughter started potty training. Ever since I put undies on her, she refused to use diaper anymore. And she's able to keep her undies dry at home for two weeks. She's definitely on the righy track for potty training. But learn and play doesn't want her to wear underwear to school because she is not asking to go potty and has too many accidents. I mean, who doesn't have accidents when potty training?! And who would speak out right away at the early stage of potty training?! So at this point, my feeling is they do not want to potty train the kids while they charge extra $100 for potty training. My daughter stays in daycare 8 hours a day, and I have no idea how long it would take her to be potty trained. I am currently in communication with management to try to resolve this issue. read more

Our son has been going to this school for about a year now and he loves it. We love the transparency in everything they do. Over this year we have enjoyed and celebrated various events with them like halloween, thanksgiving, Mother's Day, etc. and all of them have been wonderful. Highly recommend this school. read more

My son has been going to LAPMS for almost a month now. It has a clean and comfortable environment with friendly staff.My son had doing well day by day and he learnt lot of things.Im very thankful to the teachers and employees.. read more

Our 2 kids have been coming here for 7 months now. We love the homely atmosphere. And how all the teachers know all the students by name. It makes you feel like you're part of a big family. Their program and structure provides a conducive atmosphere for learning. Kids are encouraged to be independent and have discipline to choose their work and finish them, respectively. The tuition is very reasonable. Kids get morning and afternoon snacks along with lunch. They provide vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. We are not vegetarians. But I like how our kids have learned to eat veggie salad. I hope they eventually have a Chinese language introduced to their program. I would love our kids to learn Mandarin as a second language. read more

LAPMS Dublin is a great preschool to start your little ones at. I have both my kids (3y/o son and 2y/o daughter) enrolled and I can just see how happy they are when I pick them up from school. The teachers are affectionate and caring, and always informs me at pick-up how the kids day went (did they nap? eat well? being good? etc.). I'm a mom that worries often and this process provides reassurance that the school is a safe place and that my babies are truly be cared for. Another thing, they serve hot lunches! Which saves me A LOT of time and thinking as a working mom. Lastly, I love getting continuous updates via email on lunch menus, school news, and fun activities/ dress up themes LAPMS has planned. read more

Our toddler son has been going to LAPMS Dublin for the past few months. It's sheer joy for us to see him walk out excited day over day. He seems to be thoroughly enjoying his classes and it's reflecting in his day to day activities and development. We would gladly recommend LAPMS Dublin to any parent considering quality daycare services! read more

Great Montessori for kids, I have been sending my kid for 2 years now and had a great experience with staff & teachers. The kids gets to do school projects based on their age & levels. The Dublin location also had meal plan pre covid and they offered diverse meal variety at that time. read more

We and our 4 year old love LAPMS Dublin. Miss Neeraja has been great to work with from the first time we went to visit the facility and has always been prompt and helpful every time we reach out to her to talk about our kid. The facility is clean, well organized and well run. They do a great job of teaching a good mix of Math, language and other skills. Everyone from Miss Chelsea at the front desk to all the wonderful teachers that take care of her all day have been courteous and amazing to work with. They make sure they give individual attention when needed. This is a great Montessori to send your little ones to! read more

My daughter is going to L&P Montessori for the last 2 years and I am extremely happy with the school and its staff members. My little one is very happy here and kids are so much loved here. Ms. Neeraja and Ms. Celina are always ready to talk if you ever have any concerns. I did recommend the school to a few of my friends and they are happy too :) read more

I had a great experience at LAPM Dublin. My son loved it from day 1, and would cry any day he didn't get to go to the school, even weekends :) The teachers have been very helpful, and helped my son to pick up on speech, where he was a bit delayed. He speaks quite well now, thanks to LAPM and he is ready for Kindergarden. The other part I loved about LAPM, was how they handled the COVID pandemic and closed school when required. Even after they opened up, I had no issues sending my kid, as they maintained all the COVID guidelines. I would highly recommend LAPM to all parents. read more

We enrolled my 4 year old daughter last November. She came from an in-home daycare and adjusted quickly. I was so anxious to move her to a preschool, but everyone welcomed her with open arms! The curriculum is fantastic and the teachers are great! I always had confidence in the care and teaching she received. The facility is secure and clean! In 10 months, she has learned math (addition and subtraction) and has started to learn how to recognize sight words and sound out letters for reading. She always brings home creative art and sings new songs she has learned. She has also made great friends! We are deeply sad to leave in a few weeks, but are so thankful for Learn and Play for preparing her for Kindergarten. A special thank you to Ms. Mina, Ms. Shalini, Ms. Sridevi and Ms. Chen!!! My daughter is going to miss them tremendously! read more

I don't have much to say. As pictures talk more than words, adding few photos which surprised me. Can you imagine a 2.5yr old kid learned to make such things in a couple of months? My daughter joined LAPMS in January 2018. She started saying numbers, letters, singing songs and surprisingly helping her mom. I should really appreciate LAPMS for their time and effort each. Each faculty (Espc the Director Ms Neeraja) treat the kids as their own and give necessay caring. She is very interested in going to LAPMS. I strongly recommend this place to all my friend's kids. read more

See all

Our experience with Learn and Play Montessori over the last year has been great. We saw the transformation in her once she started going to this school; she actually looked forward to going to school every weekday morning. She loves the environment, the teachers and the activities. The staff at this school made the transition to the school so seamless and enjoyable, both for us and for her. I highly recommend them. We are looking forward to enrolling our now 18 month old son once he's a bit older. read more

My son joined Learn and Play 1 and half year back. He is very happy with daily activities. We never asked or put any specific study time but I see the way teaching staff prepares kids to make it interest.That brings self interest and I see that in my kid. My son always shows very much interested to go school do not want to miss a single day. Teaching staff and administrative staff each and every one is very nice and responsive. I have recommended few of my friends and they were very happy too . I highly recommend Learn and play school read more

My son made a big progress in this school! He had a bright smile on his face since the first day here, even though it's the first time for him to stay at a place without mom. He made new friends here, improved his language, and learned many academic skills like counting, spelling, singing, and so on. The teachers are patient and always ready to help kids whatever and whenever they need help, and the most important is they love kids like they do to their own kids. I really appreciate what they did and really want to recommend it to people who is looking for a preschool! read more

Nothing educational, they provide no guidance nor standards for kids to follow. My girl has left this place which has ruined the Montessori name to a better one!! read more

I recently enrolled my 2.9-year-old at LAPMS, Dublin, and have nothing but good things to say. My son has difficulty transitioning and adapting to new environments but Ms. Neeraja and Celina along with his teachers Ms. Sara and Christine have made it smooth for him. He talks a lot about Ms. Sara and how she helps him. Looking forward to his graduation from the school to Kinder in the future. read more

LAPMS Dublin! You cannot go wrong in deciding this school for your child. The director, front desk and all staff are just awesome. They are very friendly and caring! My son started 6 months ago and I love this school. I love the Montessori way of teaching.. learning with jobs, learning to do things independently and instilling values in kids. I see that my son is learning many things. Their warm lunches are a plus plus for any working mom. Highly recommend! read more
