The environment is nurturing, peaceful, and thoughtfully prepared, and I love that my child learned independence, kindness, and a love for learning at such a young age.

Academy of Play

I am so happy I found Academy of Play…read more My older child was graduating from another facility when I had my baby who needed alternative options. After all, as parents, the hardest decision to make is who to trust your baby with. Most tend to stay with what they know, because it's comfortable and proven to be safe even if it doesn't fit each child you have as perfectly as the last. Fortunately for my family, we found the best fit. The fit being Academy of Play. The teachers are all caring, emotionally attentive, and tuned in with each child as if they were their own. The documentation, updates throughout the day, regular photos, lesson plans, and development assessments are comforting and reassuring that my baby is well taken care of. The staff is not lazy when it comes to speaking with the children. Your child will fully be immersed in Spanish. There is no bias if the child does not come from a native Spanish speaking environment or if the child does not have a Hispanic/Spanish/Latin background. The classrooms are bright, clean, and filled with tons of art. There is always an instructor led activity and the school invites families to attend musicals, art shows, and more. The chances to be involved especially the parent/teacher meetings regardless of age does ease a lot of mom guilt I tend to have due to needing to work long hours some days. All children are welcomed and loved. I could not speak more highly of the program.

I love that she gets to actually play, explore the classroom, and go outside. My 7 month old daughter can be a little bit of a crier, so seeing how happy and comfortable she is there means so much to me. The teachers are amazing, and I really appreciate that they upload pictures throughout the day and keep me updated on her diapers, meals, and naps. I'm so happy I found this school for her. She is truly thriving, and that makes this mama very happy.

We were so excited to hear that 2 of the teachers from Chase Ranch started their own montessori called Bostania Bright Beginnings! We enrolled our son and couldn't be happier with our experience. He had such a great preschool year that we sent him to Bostania Bright Beginnings for TK as well. He enjoyed every day going to school and learning about so many important subjects (math, science, art, etc). He also learned how to be a good little person as he learned a lot of social skills as well. This year he started kinder, and his teacher told us he is doing so well! Everything they are learning in class today he has already learned at Bostania Bright Beginnings. We highly recommend Bostania Bright Beginnings to any parent who wants to give their child exceptional care while preparing them to be successful in elementary school. Because it is a montessori school, they don't use a "one size fits all" approach. Instead, they learn how the child thinks, in order to teach them in the best way possible. The teachers are so kind and understanding with all the children. Any child that attends Bostania Bright Beginnings is in terrific hands.

Rather than just doing a quick walkthrough, he took the time to genuinely explain what was going on and answer every single question we had. His guidance gave us a real understanding of the problem, which made a stressful situation feel so much more manageable. We are truly grateful for the expertise and care this entire team put into helping us. Five stars, without question!

I don't love the location, right off a busy road, and there's been some teacher turnover, but the school feels really safe behind gates, with a lovely outdoor play area, and there's been a lot of continuity with other teachers.

This is not a traditionally structured preschool - you won't find worksheets or desks, but you will find a Reggio style environment that intentionally allows the kids to lead. No school is perfect, but it's clear the teachers are all trying their best to create a safe and open environment for the kids. Teacher Donna, Teacher Linnea, and all the other teachers, have had a huge impact on my son, and we can't thank them enough. We'll miss the sweet little BunnyBears community!

I told Little Learners about the past problems we had, and that in some ways my kid was working on rebuilding his confidence. After a few weeks there he began to be more like himself, even wore his favorite pink shirt to school! (This was something he'd been bullied for in the past, so this was a big step.) At that moment, I knew he was really starting to feel safe and accepted at LLP. My kiddo is also not one of the kids who sits still very well. He is fidgety and is still learning to be good at circle time. They have been patient with him and have kept me well informed of his progress. They even let me visit the classroom many times to see what they did at circle time, and helped brainstorm ideas on how to get my child to learn to best behave. They have encouraged me and my child, and have been VERY helpful and very good at collaborating with me to think up ways to best help my son overcome challenges, and learn good behavior. They also have been great at being sure to celebrate his successes and his accomplishments, too. They just hosted the preschool graduation and we were thrilled! They had a nice, big ceremony in a nice venue and they put a lot more thought and planning into the event than I ever expected. It's clear that they really care about the children and parents, and work hard to ensure that the families that attend LLP are happy and know they're appreciated. They really know my son, and all of his likes, dislikes, and his charming qualities and what makes him tick. I would absolutely recommend this place to friends and family.
