Our twins have been going there for 2 years now and we are so grateful for the kind and wonderful…read morestaff here who take such good care of our kids. Our kids have grown so much in their vocabulary and always come home from here telling us about all their wonderful teachers and their day. It's always been nothing but positive things and sometimes comical, which we love to hear, coming home from a long day at work. We always feel comfortable and trust that our kids are in the best hands possible. We love Eagles Nest and are so thankful that our coworkers told us about this place.

I wish we had a great experience like the others who left a review. But unfortunately my two year…read moreold son did not get the same treatment as others. My 2 year old has a speech delay which makes it difficult for him to communicate his needs/wants which sometimes resulted in hitting other classmates. I would think the teachers here could provide recommendations on how we can decrease this hitting behavior because of their "experience"But their only solution was to send him home whenever he hit others. It made me feel like my son was unliked and not wanted there. Every day the teacher complained to me on how "bad" my son was. It made me feel awful and even more worse that the school did not want to create a plan on how to decrease my son's negative behaviors. Thankfully he was only enrolled for a few months and now my son is at a preschool willing to work with my Son and make him feel welcome

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!

I had my wedding here on April 2013. The church was just right…read more I had both my ceremony and reception here and it was just perfect for about 150 people. 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.

There is no better Montessori daycare. They've taken care of my little one since he was 18 months…read moreold and he loves it here. His socialization skills have improved immensely and his intellectual capacity has grown exponentially. I'm always amazed by what he knows or has learned. Their tuition is very reasonable. Their teachers are honestly the best there is and they love the kids so much. Quality Montessori education in a loving environment. Edit: I don't understand the negative review below mine. I'm actually offended that this person even attacked Ms. Tabitha or Ms. Amy's character. They are nothing but the kindest and caring humans I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I reiterate: My husband and I could not be happier with our experience at this Montessori daycare. From the moment we walked in, we felt warmth, calm, and genuine care. The classrooms are beautifully prepared, inviting, and thoughtfully designed to encourage independence and curiosity. The teachers are beyond amazing -- patient, attentive, and deeply respectful of each child as an individual. They truly embody the Montessori philosophy, guiding rather than directing, and nurturing confidence, focus, and a love of learning. It has been incredible to watch our child grow in independence, communication skills, and self-esteem in such a short time. We especially appreciate how the program fosters practical life skills, kindness, and problem-solving. Our child comes home excited to share what they learned and proudly demonstrates new skills every week. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed and included. The sense of community here is something special -- it feels like an extension of our family. If you're looking for a nurturing, enriching, and joyful environment where your child will truly thrive, this Montessori daycare is an absolute gem. We are so grateful we found it! You won't be disappointed nor regret your decision in having your child learn here. We're even going to put our daughter in once their infant room is up and running!

I've had the intention of writing a review for some time now (my kid just transitioned to public…read moreschool TK in August) but it's very hard to put in words how special LiMai was to me and my family. Our kiddo had a hard time transitioning (he started at age 2) however the teachers were super supportive and kind to all three of us. We stayed 2 years at LiMai and I will definitely be returning if we are blessed with another baby. Our kiddo went from us thinking he had a delay with speech to being a chatterbox in one month! When he transitioned to the older kid class, his teachers were also phenomenal here! Ms. Dianna and Ms. Rehka are so kind and treat every kid like their own. My kiddo looked forward to going to school because he felt so comfortable in his class. Overall, LiMai is a great investment, for many reasons. I always felt safety and our children's privacy was the upmost importance. I also felt like there was huge difference in our child's academic ability compared to other kids his age and also noticed how he began picking up healthy habits such as wanting to be more involved and helpful at home. Definitely a very great way to build some important foundational skills.

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!

My daughter loves going to school and there have been so many times she has a hard time coming back home because doesnt want to keave school! My daughter is always bringing home fun crafts and activities she worked on. We are truly sad that my daughter is moving onto preschool and will be leaving. We have an older child so we will sending her to the same preschool so we only have 1 drop off and pick up. We truly wish we had known about this place earlier so I couldve sent my first child here as well!
