Little Flowers Montessori is hands-down one of the best daycare centers my wife and I have ever…read moreworked with--a true hidden gem! We toured and compared nearly every other daycare and kindergarten option in the Bay Area, and Little Flowers stood out for so many reasons. They have fewer holidays than most (which means we as parents can enjoy a more consistent schedule), and they provide healthy meals for the kids--something many other places require parents to prepare themselves. The teachers are absolutely wonderful: responsive, kind, and attentive to every detail. Our son spent a joyful 2.5 years there, and we still miss it to this day. It's a place filled with care, warmth, and genuine dedication to the children's growth. If you're looking for a nurturing, reliable, and joyful environment for your child, this is it.

My first born was very well taken care of at age of 2 yrs 3 months when we welcomed her little brother. Ms Hue and Ms Chi helped her navigate changes at home and helped manage emotions. They were so understanding always. Kids have always received warmth and love and healthy ways of learning boundaries and discipline. My son has had absolute loving and caring experience. He's been a curious child with lots of opinions and questions. All his questions and ideas were patiently welcomed giving him a great space to be expressive I can go on and on writing raving review for this school. Ms Hue, Ms KD have been pillars showering love on kids and families alike

I almost never leave a review for anything but I have to do this. My son went to LFM since he was…read moreonly two and half. The school and teachers took great care of him with effort and love. He was shy but now grown up confident and happy. Mother's day, Father's day, Halloween, Christmas and the graduation party, all very well organized and I don't know how much effort they put into it so that we can see a great performance like this. The teachers also spent a lot of time and effort on academic things. My son can do a lot of math and spelling. Overall, very great school and awesome teachers. Special shout out to Mrs Deepali. We will all miss you very much!

My son had COVID baby traits, but with the help of all the wonderful teachers - he is now very socially aware, sings songs in spanish, reads words, knows how to clean up after himself post-play, and more. In addition, they helped reinforce his potty training (at the time he was 5 months in), which he is really good at now. Ms. Palmira is AMAZING. There are no words to describe how grateful my wife and I for having her involved in my son's development. She is an angel. Not only her, but the whole staff (off the top of my head) - Ms. Rania, Ms. Sandra, Ms. Alicia, Ms. Mavie - were all so very loving and welcoming to my son and other kids. We decided to enroll our son at a neighboring Montessori closer to our home. If it doesn't work out for any reason, we have no problem coming back here since my son loved it. To the staff - thank you so much for being such caring and loving people to our children. We really appreciate you all.

The Peralta location was a great choice to place our 3 year old son for daycare. Previously he was…read moreattending the Washington location, the staff was great but found that the teachers had a high turn around so he kept getting a new teacher every few months. The transition from one location to the other went smoothly. We love the fact that the classroom size is small so their seems to be more attention to the kids. He has learned a lot and can trace letters/numbers and color within the lines of pictures. At home, he has learned to clean up after himself in regards to putting toys away, its not all the time. If he plays in his bedroom, he will clean up the toys before he goes to bed. Our son loves going to school, he's one of the earlier drop offs and the teachers welcome him with warm greetings in the morning and have him assist with morning tasks. His main teacher is Ms Poonam and he adores her, she has been a great teacher to him and has helped him become fully potty trained! My son was ready to be potty trained and when I asked the staff they would provide me a daily report and eventually were able to get him fully potty trained. It's a big help to have the school support when we were implementing potty training at home.

A big thank you to Ms. Rani, Ms. Laxmi, and Ms. Vani for their warmth, care, and dedication. We've seen a noticeable improvement in Vivaan's reading and writing skills, and we really appreciate the personal attention they give each child. It meant a lot to us that they ensured Vivaan finished his meals and encouraged him to participate positively in class. It's a nurturing and supportive environment, and we're very thankful for all that they do.

Our daughter has been attending this Montessori since she was 2.5 years old, and we've been very…read morehappy with her experience so far (over a year now). Miss Thiru, her teacher in the Lilac class, has been absolutely incredible -- a perfect blend of warmth and discipline. She is both loving and firm, which is exactly what young children need to grow, learn, and thrive. We feel truly lucky our daughter had her as a teacher this past year. The daily schedule is thoughtfully balanced with Montessori activities, worksheets, and play. The worksheets have been especially helpful in building her number and letter recognition, as well as her logical thinking skills -- all while keeping her excited and engaged. The outdoor playground is spacious, and the kids love their time there. The only suggestion I'd make is to add some shaded areas, as the summer heat can get intense during the 2-hour outdoor window. Our daughter often comes home visibly tired from the sun. Overall, we really love the school and the nurturing environment it provides. Grateful for the foundation it's building for our daughter's learning journey!

Ms.Yolanda and all the teachers at LFM had ensured that he had a smooth transition into the new environment, helping him grow his social and learning skills in the most caring & nurturing manner - getting him geared up for Kinder in every way possible. One thing that truly stands out is that all the teachers are extremely loving & it shows when the kids want to be around them even when they are playing in the yard. The facilities in the school inside the classrooms, library, gym & outside in the yard are always maintained extremely well - giving kids the best of the infrastructure at all times. What stands out is the indoor gym at LFM where kids get to play if the weather outside is not suitable for their outdoor play - and they enjoy the gym as much as they do the yard! The amount of work that is put in to appreciate every single season of the year, festival of various cultures is incredible & huge kudos to Ms.Yolanda & Ms.Archana and all of LFM's staff on being thorough & meticulous every single time. LFM Birch has been like an extended family where we knew our child was given the best care & environment to grow! We are very grateful for our child to have been a part of the LFM Birch family :)

We had a great experience with LAPMS throughout those years. The teachers supported him through important milestones, including potty training, and we could see how much he learned and grew over time.

We're very thankful to the teachers and staff for giving him such a positive experience during these important early years. We have a lot of good memories from his time there and would definitely recommend Learn and Play Montessori to other families.

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!!

Its through this school that he's learn to be brave, kind, and a leader. Of course he's learned some interesting subjects and brought home LOTS of art pieces. To start off, the parents are wonderful and I've made lifetime friends with a few of them. My son has also made friends that are so impactful, we schedule play dates to ensure their friendships continue to grow. The teachers are kind, patient, and knows how to motivate the kids to be their absolute best selves. My son calls me by his teacher's name all the time since he loves her so much! The teachers are all personable and hilarious and they naturally get to know every student AND parent on an individual level. Daycare is tough for parents since we entrust individuals with our kids and we don't know what they're doing all day. our kids may not know how to communicate (or just forget). Brightwheel is the app for all parent/teacher communication and they're very active in uploading photos, calendar events, reminders, and direct messages. There's always so many photos and synopsis of their projects, it's nice to be able to ask our kids on the details on what they did that day. Despite the open lines of communication, teachers and Ms. Kim always make the effort to talk to parents if issues arise or just to say some perceptive comments about our kids. They say it takes a village to raise a child and I truly see this childcare center as a community! The Newark city department workers are involved with events ( i.e. fourth of July parade, Santa visit, etc) and parents volunteer their gifts if they feel inclined. I've had only one other experience with a daycare and Ive felt that this daycare is established and dialed in. In comparison, i've never had my child complain about being bored or even cry during drop off. The teachers are collaborative and response and ensure we, as parents, are informed of our kids progress. You won't regret visiting this center!
