The teachers in rooms 6 and 7 were great with ensuring she felt comfortable in the classrooms. Additionally, I could tell just from even a few days being there, she was starting to pick up social skills, discipline, and a great sense of routine with their day to day montessori lesson plans and their "jobs". The front desk staff and both directors (previous and current) were also wonderful and took the time to get to know us as a family. They always greet us with kindness and patience for all those questions we had! Thank you LAPMS!!

October 2025 Review…read more This review has been a long time coming, but we're so happy to finally share how much we love Learn & Play Montessori! My 4-year-old twins are now in their second year here, and they couldn't be happier. They attended the 3-year-old class with Miss Ayesha last year and are now in Room 4 with Miss Dhillon. We truly couldn't be more pleased -- our kids are safe, happy, comfortable, and thriving in their learning. The teachers here genuinely love their students, and it warms my heart to see the way they interact with my children. It's not just their classroom teachers -- every teacher, the front desk team, and the director, Miss Trixie, know our family by name. It feels like a true community. I'm often in and out several times a day due to appointments, and everyone always greets us with a smile, even saying hello to my 2-year-old who doesn't attend yet! The staff consistently go above and beyond. My twins were born prematurely and are developmentally behind their peers, but the teachers here have been incredible in helping them gain confidence, independence, and a strong sense of belonging. One of my twins has cerebral palsy that affects his legs, and earlier this year he underwent major spinal surgery. The support we received from the director, teachers, and the entire school community during and after that time meant the world to us. Learn & Play strikes the perfect balance between fostering independence through Montessori learning and providing the warmth, care, and guidance that every child needs. For the first time ever, my kids tell me they miss school and can't wait to go back -- even on Fridays! Thank you, Miss Trixie, Miss Dhillon, all the wonderful teachers, and the amazing ladies at the front desk for creating such a loving, supportive, and enriching environment for our family. We are so grateful for you all!

Our older daughter was only there for about two months, but in that short time she genuinely thrived. When graduation came around, the staff made sure she was fully included in the ceremony, which says a lot about the culture of a school. Our younger daughter spent a full year in the 2s class, and while it's always hard to transition to school at that age, she truly enjoyed her time there. Her Mandarin improved drastically, and so much of that credit goes to Ms. Ying, Ms. Lisa, and Ms. Kari, who are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about each child. As a busy family, we also appreciated that Empire provides meals and plans so many fun activities throughout the year, including a petting zoo, bounce house, water play, holiday celebrations, and more. Ms. July, the director, is consistently responsive and communicative, and any time we had a question or concern, she was quick to get back to us. We're so grateful for the community Empire built around our girls. Highly recommend!

Look no further if you're on the search for a Montessori preschool. My husband commutes to Fremont,…read moreso we thought it was perfect for our son to attend here. As for the campus, the layout is great. The gated fence around the school is secure with a keypad before the building's main door. Classrooms are well designed to have areas for practical life learning, math, language, etc. The structure of their day is perfect. Plenty of balance between Montessori work sessions, outside play, rest time and circle times. Meals and snacks are balanced with nutrition in mind (especially for our picky kiddo, who suddenly liked corn after school one day). We love when our son brings home his artwork and worksheets. Field trips take place on campus, which is a relief in terms of transportation and safety. One time, they brought the petting zoo there! When there are holiday events, the parents and family are welcome to see their performance for Thanksgiving and Christmas. During summer, they offer a fun variety of themes each week as well as some special days (like a Mad Science Show or Cooking week). Our 4-year-old has improved so much. He can be high energy, but the teachers have a lot of patience and understanding. The biggest factor for us was the Mandarin-immersive program. We immediately signed up for the waitlist. It was well worth it. They incorporate 2 circle times-- one in English and another in Mandarin. They learn songs, numbers, basically all of the basics and our son loves saying everything he's learned when he's back home. For their Chinese New Year celebration, they have an amazing dragon dance and have the children sing in Mandarin. The staff goes above and beyond when it comes to the children's education, safety, wellbeing and happiness at this school. Ms July, the school director, was warm and welcoming, remembering every child's name who ran up to us during our tour. Ms Lori, Ms Lydia and Ms Mia have been guiding our son with incredible care and attention. Our son couldn't pick a favorite, so he named each one. We can't thank everyone enough for their hard work and dedication.

Ms. Louise, Ms. Mary, Ms. Dionna, Ms. Gizelle, and Ms. Cynthia each played a meaningful role in shaping who she is today. Together, they helped her grow into a kind, loving, and curious little girl. We are constantly amazed by how much she learns, she comes home every single day with new knowledge, new words, and new ideas that surprise us. It's clear that each teacher pours their heart into what they do, and our daughter has thrived because of it. Beyond the classroom, the administrative team, Ms. Joy, Ms. Suzette, and Ms. Kathlynn, always greet families with warm, welcoming smiles that set the tone the moment you walk through the door. They have created an environment where both children and parents feel seen, valued, and at home. We are so thankful to this entire team for the incredible foundation they've given our daughter during some of her most important early years. We highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a nurturing, enriching place for their little one.

Our daughter has grown up here, and as she moves over to the kindergarten side, we are genuinely sad to say "see you later" to the preschool staff who have loved and cared for her so well. From day one, we have felt incredibly lucky to have found such a warm, welcoming community. The teachers and staff are not only professional and attentive, they are truly kind, patient, and invested in each child. Our daughter is always excited to go to school, which says everything to me as a parent. One of the things we love most is how family-centered the school is. They do such a great job of bringing everyone together with fun, meaningful events throughout the year, some of our favorites: - The Hawaiian Back-to-School Dinner - Popsicles with POP, where the kids can worship, play, and of course enjoy popsicles - The fall festival - A beautiful Nativity during the holidays - Vacation Bible School (VBS) in the summer These events have helped us build real connections with other families and made the school feel like an extension of our home. We are so grateful for the love, care, and support our daughter has received here. If you're looking for a preschool where your child will be nurtured, encouraged, and excited to learn, and where your whole family will feel welcome, I highly recommend POP!

The mornings my daughter doesn't want me to leave, which is rare, other staff come in to help and she quickly jumps into their arms. They're always able to soothe her. They potty trained her & feed her 3-5 times a day which we couldn't accomplish at home and honestly still can't when it comes to meal times. Whatever they're doing works!!!
