Our Testimonials
Having had both of my children enrolled at The Learning Child for over two years, I am consistently impressed by the entire program from the dedicated teachers and thoughtfully designed classrooms to the calm, nurturing atmosphere and even the meals provided. The staff go above and beyond for our children, consistently finding creative ways to enrich the monthly curriculum. They use customized materials for each unit and even brought a real alpaca during a lesson, an experience my children absolutely adored!
What I value most is seeing, every day, that my children are in an environment that encourages them, teaches both life and academic skills, and genuinely cares about their growth and well-being. The teachers are exceptional, and I would not hesitate to recommend The Learning Child to any family seeking a high-quality, nurturing Montessori education.

The Learning Child provides a well-structured learning environment, complemented by unique hands-on experiences and engaging live events. The teachers are soft-spoken, attentive, and highly educated, and our child truly adores them. Our child looks forward to attending every day, thriving in the warm and energetic atmosphere. The meals exceed our expectations, offering a wide variety of healthy and delicious options. We are extremely satisfied with the care and education provided and would highly recommend The Learning Child to any family.
J and J. Reyes
Our 2.5-year-old son is naturally a cautious child who takes time to adjust and warm up to new faces. From the moment we joined The Learning Child, it was clear he was in excellent hands—his personality was not only respected but celebrated. The teachers genuinely love and care for the children, which is evident in how they interact, the personal attention they give, and the variety of fun and enriching experiences they provide.
Since joining, our son has learned many new words and is beginning to string them together. His confidence has grown tremendously. He now tries new activities independently rather than just observing, which is a huge milestone for him. He has also learned to take care of his belongings, independently managing his outdoor clothes, hanging them on his hook, and placing his shoes on the mat at home without prompting.
The quality of the meals is exceptional, an important factor for us as I am a nutritionist and they thoughtfully accommodate his allergies. We could not be happier and highly recommend The Learning Child as a true home away from home for our little one.
J & K Do
Our family has been a part of The Learning Child since 2015, starting with our eldest son, Zachary, and now with our youngest daughter, Lucia. Ms. Kris, as we fondly call her, works tirelessly to create a warm, family-like atmosphere within the center. We are continually delighted to see how the children thrive under her care.
Ms. Kris is deeply dedicated to providing the highest quality of education and care. The Montessori program is implemented exceptionally well. Our son entered kindergarten with advanced skills beyond what is typical for a 5-year-old. His teacher even commended his preschool preparation, highlighting the outstanding work of his Montessori teacher. The love and dedication of the staff are evident in every interaction with the children.
Communication between parents and the center is excellent, and Ms. Kris’s warm, approachable character fosters strong relationships with families. It is no surprise that The Learning Child is consistently full, with long waitlists, thanks to its exceptional programs, outstanding facilities, and stellar reputation.
Above all, it is Ms. Kris’s unwavering devotion to positively impacting children’s lives that truly makes The Learning Child stand out.
