The music teacher is incredible and the programs they put on for the parents and families are so amazing. I would love to see the teachers get more of the salary than the bigwig who runs the show. I would also love to see a woman running the school instead of an overpaid man.

He is very happy in school and always makes faces when I pick him up because he is having fun learning new things every day. From class teachers to lunch lady, director to principal, everyone welcomes you with a warm heart and takes very good care of your child. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for the best child care in the city.

Before we signed him up we would walk on the trails nearby and be amazed at the outdoor space this school offers. We would see kiddos in rain or shine deeply into play. We scheduled a tour and rest is history, we were hooked! We have watched our son happily go to school every day, seen him grow and thrive both social emotionally but also academically. The guides are amazing at what they do and the building, classrooms and grounds are deeply rooted in the Montessori method and gives our child plenty of room to grow both mentally and physically. Its a must see!

My son had a lot of apprehension about day care ( and me too) and as a Covid baby he has not really been around kids or anyone besides his parents. The staff have been so patient with him. They truly care about the kids who attend. It's a smaller place then your traditional day care which is only concerned about making a profit and you can feel the difference the moment you walk through the doors. Melissa who is the Director is absolutely wonderful as are the teachers. I had a great feeling when I went to tour the place and my gut feeling has been absolutely right. So happy to have found Living Christ.

This preschool is run by Living Christ Lutheran Church. It's a small and wonderful preschool. A…read morelot of places have 20 kids to a room, but here it's only 10, and there are only 4 classes, divided by age, meaning only 40 kids max in the entire school. They take infants through pre-K. LCELC has very nice facilities that are on par with larger schools. Also, because the school is on church grounds, they have space for a large back yard area (including a garden) and a much nicer and larger playground than others I've seen. I appreciate that the teachers do a lot of fun, enriching, non-academic activities with the kids - probably made easier because the school is so small. The 4- and 5-year olds walk to the park weekly, there's a weekly bike day and water day, and they've been on field trips to Gale Woods Farm and the nearby Arboretum. Tuition runs about the same or slightly less than many commercial places like New Horizons or KinderCare, and includes cold breakfast, hot lunch and a snack. The teachers are very caring and attentive, have proper grammar (and there are places where they don't!) and they have all been with LCELC for a long time. I've always felt confident that they provided my daughter with a safe, fun, nurturing environment and would highly recommend this preschool.

Always safe & fun! A good time for kids and they have many programs from infant to school age care!read more

We've had a really good experience here every time we've been here (3 times). The playplace is HUGE-- a couple of stories tall, padded, very safe, with lots of slides and tunnels and fun stuff for the kids to explore--and it includes a digital dance floor, an arcade, and food to order. You can also drop your kids off for periods of time. My 5-year-old loves this place. He can't be torn away. The one downside is that it's often VERY busy, and consequently a little chaotic. But if you're looking for somewhere fun to bring your kids (little kids all the way up to, I'd say, 10-12 year olds) this is it. Not exactly a relaxing atmosphere, but the kids have a blast and wear themselves out.

We are impressed by the talented staff, diversity of programs and genuine care each staff member shows toward our daughter, even those that do not interact with her on a daily basis. We are looking forward to having her grow through this Montessori program and highly recommend this school to anyone looking for trustworthy childcare.
