    I was really interested in LLEA based off the previous reviews and their website. However when I…read morereached out multiple times I was given unprofessional and snarky responses. I would not send my child here if that's how they speak to prospective families.

    I absolutely love Love LOVE this school! From the minute I started the preschool search for my…read morechildren, this school was my number one. Unfortunately, there wasn't space for both of my children at the same time. My children have been to two schools prior to this one: Cornerstone Preschool, which was amazing until they were horrendously not (long story); and Gateway Montessori, which was also really good in terms of what I look for in a center. However, I never stopped following up with LLEA because I knew it was my dream school for my children. Eventually they informed me that there was space, and I transferred my children so quickly and have never looked back. My children have been attending since November 2024. They are AMAZING!! The teachers. The management staff. The owner. The facility. The curriculum. The academics. The fun!!! I can go on and on. I absolutely love this school and would recommend it to any parent or individual that is looking for work in a preschool. I had some challenges with my daughter's behavior, and rather than kicking my daughter out like Cornerstone Preschool did, they worked with us! Tried developmentally appropriate skills that I recommended, that they recommended, and that the owner (who is knowledgeable in child development) recommended. When all else failed, they held an SST with us and referred us to a third party that could provide in-house assistance (like a one-on-one with my daughter). They even allowed me in the facility to observe my daughter through the one-way mirror, and I was able to implement some changes with her based on what I observed. My daughter is doing SO well now. She's in their TK program this year and has made such great strides in her behavior. Even the teachers and owner are so impressed with her. This school genuinely cares about their students, and I can see such a difference between when a school genuinely cares about the successes and well-being of all students rather than just the well -behaved ones. I LOVE this school. They're an absolute God-send.

    This preschool exceeded every expectation I had and more. Back in 2018 I was looking for a…read morepreschool for my eldest daughter who was 3 at the time. I went to at least ten different preschools in the area before I toured CPCLM. The previous preschools that I toured were dirty, the staff wasn't friendly, the kids were dirty, some were just a daycare and the kids didn't really learn anything or the kids there just didn't seem happy. These things all meant a lot to me and my family when looking for a preschool. Then I toured CPCLM and it was like stepping into a completely different atmosphere than I had experienced thus far. When we were on the tour we went to each classroom and all of the kids knew the director and ran to give her a hug. All of the kids seemed like they were smiling ear to ear, there was so much joy just oozing out of this place! It was very clean, the kids were not just playing but learning as each class had a curriculum and the classes were small so each child received more attention. The prices were far more reasonable than any other preschool and they offered part time and full time options. We had found it! This was the type of place we had been looking for. My daughter graduated in 2020 then I sent my younger two kids as well and one graduated in 2023 and one in 2024, and we couldn't have made a better decision. I have literally nothing bad to say about this wonderful preschool and tell everyone I come across they need to send their kiddos here!

The sanctuary is what drew us to this location. The stain glass windows made for beautiful wedding photos. The wedding coordinator and all the other folks were so helpful and def patient. We also loved the fact that there was a gazebo out back to make for more interesting photos. With the wedding package... The price was just right as well. What a great find.

    Haiku: LiMai Montessori Academy…read more Language immersion Self-paced and hands-on teachings Warm and caring staff. --- We were at LiMai Montessori for a couple of years, and my daughter absolutely loved her time there. Thanks to the loving team, our daughter always felt safe, cherished, and eager to head to school every day. She couldn't wait to give morning hugs to her teachers, Miss Dianna and Mrs Rekha. She truly blossomed under Miss Dianna's gentle guidance, energetic enthusiasm, and deep dedication. By Kindergarten, she mastered her math concepts and built an incredible foundation for learning. My daughter still talks about the country unit studies over the years and wants to visit and experience Japan's cherry blossoms and Paris' Mona Lisa. We still keep in touch with Miss Dianna, and she was even so sweet to FaceTime my daughter to calm her nerves during her first days of kindergarten. Mrs Rekha is a ray of sunshine, supportive, kind-hearted, and a favorite among the students. The directors, Mrs Tabitha and Mrs Amy, are always welcoming and communicative. They keep the school running seamlessly. What sets LiMai apart from others is its language and cultural immersion. For pre-school classes, your child can learn Mandarin, Korean, or Spanish. Tip: There's usually a long waitlist for Mandarin, so make sure to add your kid early and keep checking in with the staff. There are also add-on enrichment classes like piano, dance, and soccer. (LMA outsources to other companies, and they teach on campus.) My daughter always looked forward to her Dancing in Harmony dance classes with Miss Amber and performing at their dance recitals. Bonus: Your kid can opt in for freshly cooked Asian lunch meals like curry, soba, and japchae. I always smelled something delicious cooking at morning drop-off. There are always fun activities happening at the school too. From Trunk-or-Treat to Mother's and Father's Day events, to Water Play Day to Baby Prom--it makes it an enjoyable place for kids to play and for families to engage with others. We still hang out with the same group of friends/families we've met at LMA. We miss the teachers, staff, and school. We still come back to visit and are always greeted with warm hugs. We highly recommend LMA!

We are especially grateful for Miss Dianna and the impact she had on our 2 boys, they absolutely thrived under her care and guidance. By the time they transitioned to kindergarten, they already knew their phonetic sounds and had such a strong foundation for learning. Miss Dianna is truly caring, patient, and dedicated, and we feel so lucky that our boys had the opportunity to learn from her. We will truly miss her, the staff, and the school. We highly recommend Limai!

    My son just finished an 18 month stint at Froebel Daycare. It was an amazing all-around experience…read morethat I'm sure he will build off of as he ventures ahead. He started as one of the babies and left as a 3 year old. Now he's enrolled in preschool, but he still says he misses Froebel. He made his first friends here. It's true, Froebel really spoiled us as a family, and I am truly grateful for everything Mrs. Jennifer and Miss Alice have done for us. We personally would have never looked into an in-home daycare, but heard great things about Froebel. My wife toured and put a deposit down on the spot. I don't know how, but Mrs. Jennifer comes up with creative ideas for projects for the kids on a near daily basis. There must be something on Korean social media that I don't know about. The other parents have been friendly at pickup and drop off. I recommend staying involved and doing your part to make birthdays and holidays fun! Communication is always a constant over text. I recommend starting a group text with Mrs. Jennifer and your family. She's highly responsive, and she sends pictures everyday. There are plenty of examples posted here on Yelp. It helps if you speak Korean, but our communication in English was adequate. She's pretty lenient with the sick policy, so parents should be advised and onboard with it. Because it's only about 8 kids, and turnover is low, I don't really think it's an issue. She really does go above and beyond to accommodate. Very few holidays and days taken off in general on her part too. Pay attention to the close days on the calendar so you don't get surprised! As a parent, I can't recommend Froebel enough. We will forever miss it here!

    I couldn't be happier with the exceptional care and attention provided by Jennifer, one of the…read moredaycare's remarkable teachers. From the moment we stepped into the facility, it was evident that this was a nurturing and loving environment for children. In addition, Jennifer's warm and compassionate nature instantly put my child at ease, making the transition into daycare a smooth and positive experience. Regular updates and progress reports are shared, giving parents peace of mind and an opportunity to be involved in their child's daycare experience. Lots of daily activities and projects to keep the little one busy. Overall, I highly recommend Froebel Daycare to any parents seeking a daycare that understands and adapts to the ever-changing needs of busy families.
