Learn and Play® Montessori School & Child Care Niles

My son absolutely thrived in Room 9 with Miss Ritu and Miss Maritza! He was in their care for about a year after starting at LAPMS Niles when he was 18 months old, and I couldn't have asked for better teachers. They were incredibly patient, especially when he was learning to eat independently. He actually ate better at school than at home! He learned so much during his time with them – songs, dances, numbers, and arts and crafts. They always made time to chat with me at the end of the day and were very welcoming, with an open door policy for parents. The school itself is wonderful, with big and well-maintained playgrounds that my son loved. Miss Ana and Miss Raji at the reception desk are also incredibly welcoming and helpful. I remember calling frequently in the beginning to check on my son, and they always answered my questions patiently and put my mind at ease. Miss Ritu and Miss Maritza also provided fantastic support when he transitioned to Room 8, going above and beyond to ensure he felt comfortable. He missed them dearly after moving, and often asked to visit their classroom. I highly recommend Miss Ritu and Miss Maritza – they are truly wonderful!"

We have been very pleased with the quality of education and care provided at LAPMS niles. My son has been attending this  preschool for more than a year now :) A huge shout out to the teachers of classroom 8 - Miss Darshi, Miss Sowntharya and Miss Siliva. Their most remarkable quality is their genuine care and compassion for their students. They approach each child with patience and empathy, understanding their unique needs and fostering a positive, inclusive environment. The teachers are dedicated and engaging. They create a positive learning environment that fosters curiosity and growth. They are very supportive as the child progresses towards different milestones. They also provide regular updates on the children's progress and are responsive to any questions or concerns. The curriculum is well-structured and age-appropriate, with a good balance of educational and creative activities. The classroom is welcoming and well-organized. The environment is clean, safe, and designed to stimulate young minds. The school also offers some extracurricular activities that complement the core curriculum. Overall I would highly recommend this facility!

After a lot of research, we decided to go with Learn and play Montessori school. They have great teachers who make sure every kid is well taken care of and respected. They are very supportive and go above and beyond to help each child to adjust in the school. Admin staff is also very friendly and welcoming. They have lot of fun and learning activities. This school has everything any parent can ask for. We are very happy that we chose LAPMS for our child.

My son has been attending Learn and Play since he was 2 years old and I am so pleased with the school curriculum. He has learned so much. He knows how to write his first and last name. He knows how to add and subtract and talk about what he’s learned in science. He practices handwriting daily. They also teach him many life skills that builds his confidence and independence. But most importantly he enjoys it so much he likes to show me what he’s learned when he is home. The front staff Ms Ana, Ms Rajbir, and Ms Kelsey are always so friendly and welcoming. Ms Lupe teaches Spanish and has my son yapping colors and numbers fluently. Ms Rania the School Director is always available and supportive and knows all the students. My son’s teachers are Ms Rose, Ms Dhillon, and Ms Kris and they are absolutely amazing. I was able to observe them in class and how they teach and care for the children left me speechless. They are so patient, wonderful, and organized. It’s no wonder my son has learned so much in their class. I could easily have him start TK at his older brother’s public school next semester but I’ve made the decision to have him attend TK at LAPMS and continue to make the 2 stops. This should be a testament on how much I love this school and their program curriculum.

I am very happy with my experience at Learn and Play Montessori Niles. It holds a special place in our hearts as it was the very first school my son ever attended. Born during Covid, he was reserved and clung closely to his parents. The apprehension of entrusting his care to someone else was immense. However, the school's principal (Ms.Rania) and dedicated teachers (from classroom 8) quickly alleviated our concerns, and made the transition seamless. Now when I arrive to pick him up, he's reluctant to leave – a testament to the nurturing environment that Learn and Play provides. His language and social skills have flourished beyond measure and he is very well mannered. He is growing and thriving thanks to the hands on lessons and engaging activities Learn and Play provides. To us, Learn and Play is more than just a school; it's an extension of our home. My child is not merely another face in the crowd; he receives individualized care and attention. We are grateful for the invaluable impact Learn and Play has had on our child's development.
