“We’ve had such a great experience with La Plazita II! The maestras are super kind and really care about the kids. They work hard to create a warm, welcoming place where my child feels happy and safe. I also love the family events they host throughout the year. It’s a nice way to meet other parents and build a community.
One thing that really stands out is their monthly themes. They’re fun and keep the kids interested, and it’s amazing how much my child’s Spanish has grown because of them. Every month, the new theme brings in fresh words and ideas, and it’s helped my kid become really fluent in Spanish in such a natural way.
Lupe is great too. She’s always quick to answer any questions I have, which makes things so much easier.
Overall, you can tell how much effort they put into the curriculum and caring for the kids. I’m really happy with how much my child has learned and grown here.”

“Cindy and the team at Rockridge Little School are absolute rock stars. We've been fortunate to have been part of the RLS family for almost five years. The school has done an amazing job creating a safe, stimulating, and fun environment for young kiddos. I strongly recommend that any prospective parents consider the school.”
“Wildwood has been a great choice for us! In particular, we love the community aspect of this school — from the parent-teacher partnership, to festive school events for families to come together and connect. We also really appreciate Anita’s leadership (Program Director); she’s thoughtful, transparent, and very involved — which is evident in the relationships she’s built with each kiddo. The fact that she actively supports in the classroom on a daily basis gives us assurance that decisions and updates are informed by on-the-ground experiences. Wildwood’s focus on learning through play resonates with us. Having multiple age-appropriate classrooms also provides good exposure / role-modeling for kids in different learning stages (from infants to pre-schoolers).”

“After not even a full year at the school with a preschooler and Kindergartener, my husband and I agree this is the best decision we've ever made as a family and are beyond thrilled with everything we've experienced so far-the teachers and staff, the curriculum, and above all, the community and support we feel. We cannot wait to see what the rest of this year and subsequent years will bring!”

“A truly special place for children. Amazing teachers (especially Steph and Chianai), a warm and caring school director who listens, unassuming and thoughtful parent community, a magical place for your children to grow and learn. Cost is relatively affordable and they offer scholarships. Can’t say enough great things about this lovely school. Send your kids here if they’re great.”

“Our child is now 4 and has been attending OMS since she was 2 years old. Most importantly, she is always excited to go to school and comes home happy. We appreciate how the school maintains the core Montessori principles, ensuring a learning environment that’s both structured and flexible. The child-led approach fosters independence and curiosity, while allowing her to explore at her own pace. The classrooms and outside play area are spacious and feel good. She gets individualized attention that allows her to thrive based on her unique needs. Additionally, OMS has a wonderfully supportive parent community, and we’ve made lasting friendships that will continue for years to come. We are pleased with our experience and hope to send our second child to OMS as well.”

“My son has been at Daisy since October. In that time, his confidence has grown and he has clearly learned a lot. Irfan, Fey, and the rest of the teachers have supported him during transitions and cared for him deeply. He loves the outdoor space with the animals, all the art projects, and yoga and music classes.”
