We are so thankful we found LOMA for our daughter. The expansive space allows plenty for exploration. My daughter is getting an enriched educational experience meanwhile the staff are are so empathic and caring. I am truly amazed at the care and dedication these teachers exhibit for their children. LOMA is truly one of a kind! I have such peace of mind going to work knowing she’s in a stimulating happy environment with other children. I have never felt stressed once. Best decision we made!

We were absolutely heartbroken to have to leave LOMA due to an out of state move. Our daughter has been in the Nido with Ms. Helena for the last 6+ months, and we could not have chosen a better place for her. The teachers there truly care about the development of the child and fostering independence. Its not even close to traditional daycare. The follow the childs lead, track their developmental milestones, and answer all parent questions. I cannot imagine trusting anyone else with my baby. Every morning when I dropped her off, shed kick and squeal with excitement to see her teachers. This is the real deal Montessori. If youre on the fence, dont be. This is the place to go!

LOMA does truly provide an authentic Montessori experience for the kids. The teachers are loving, knowledgeable and experienced. The staff are nice and the learning environment is inviting and effective . My kids have flourished to their full potentials and we are extremely happy with LOMA and recommend it to all the parents who want a strong foundation for their kids future. Thank you LOMA for making the World a happier place.

Wonderful home for our son during the day: Quality, individual education and care, a strong family-life atmosphere...we couldnt have transitioned our life when we moved to Virginia without LOMA!

So, let me start off by saying I have admittedly high expectations when it comes to early education. I truly believe that it sets the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. So prior to LOMA we tried out a few schools and while they were alright I just didn’t love them. However, after too much time at home because of the pandemic it became apparent it was time to get back to school, even though I still worried about Covid. LOMA was so accommodating in making sure my child was comfortable and happy while making the transition back to school. They have a strong Covid mitigation policy in place which was super comforting. My child made amazing progress in all areas from social to academic while here. The staff is kind and professional. Anytime I had a question it was easy to get ahold of someone and get a through answer very quickly. My daughter left the school (to move to elementary) with so much more confidence- I can say with certainty there truly was no better place for her and my only regret is not finding the school sooner. Thanks Little Oaks Staff, we miss you already!

Its hard to find the right words to express how grateful we are to have found a daycare like LOMA. We recently moved out of the area and were heartbroken to have to leave. LOMA was a core component as to why our son is the sweet but strong boy he came to be. They allowed him to flourish in the middle of a pandemic and they consistently showed up for him, no matter what. Their love and support for our family has helped us grow together and strengthen our confidence as parents. Huge thank you to Ms. Helena, the ladies in the NIDO, and anyone else who swung by to shower our son with love and attention. We truly cant thank them enough for the months we attended there.TLDR: Best daycare ever. We cried when we moved out of the area and had to pull him out. Our son is almost a year old now and we still miss them. HIGHLY recommend.

Little Oaks is the best preschool! Our child went there after CA Montessori shut down, and his teacher took a position there. Not only did she come, but the former director with 20 years of experience running a preschool also came. Together they joined a staff of other wonderful teachers and two phD child psychologists that are just all amazing with children.If you have never heard of the Montessori way of teaching children and are considering this school, rest assured youll also appreciate the independence for the children, flexible learning, emotional growth and other amazing skills for children to learn early. When you walk in you dont hear screaming children and chaos.... You see kids engaged in activities, smiling, behaving and learning m there are no loud voices or anxious spaces. Youll be impressed with children as young as one years old...waddling around with a mini broom and cleaning up after themselves!Additionally the price is very reasonable compared to other local preschools, they have good year round hours, and do not just blindly follow the public school snow schedule (hello, like 30 missed days of school a few years ago!)they have a pretty good menu, including but not limited to vegetarian food options. They are careful to focus on fruits and veggies at every meal, whole grain choices, and also do baking and cooking with the children to learn about fresh and healthy foods. You will not find hot dogs, chocolate milk or pancake sticks here.Its really am amazing place, the staff is like family to us and if we had more children we would go out of our way to take them there.

I fell in love with this school when my three year old and one year old attended a preview of its music program. Both kids were captivated by the instruction and were so happy and comfortable. Little Oaks Montessori Academy has a wonderful, nature-based, nurturing learning environment that caters to each childs interests and abilities. I give it five stars!

As a personal friend of Dr. Abbott and as a mother of 2 children, I am excited about Little Oaks Montessori! Dr. Abbott is not only knowledgeable and hands on but she has a true love of learning. She has worked tirelessly to develop a program that really allows children to flourish and her excitement over this project is contagious. I am thrilled to be able to watch this school grow!

This is the best place for children. My two year old is thriving and has learned so much in only a month. Not only is Little Oaks Montessori Academy a wonderful place to learn, all the teachers and staff are so loving and caring. I love the holistic approach they have and the clean and brand new facility. As an overly protective and ofttimes neurotic mom, this school gives me peace of mind that my child is not only learning but loved.

The Montessori method is a wonderfully nurturing environment for children to grow in. Founder Dr. Heather Abbott is so invested in creating the optimal environment for learning; I have complete trust and faith in entrusting my children to this schools care.

I cant wait for this school to open! I was lucky to be able to get a tour before they started the build and love the open-floor plan, Lots of Huge privacy windows with tons of natural light, Spanish Immersion -which is huge for my little bilingual family, big beautiful playground and emphasis to nature with their own little vegetable garden. They will even have extracurriculars like yoga! The location is great too super close to 267/Sunrise/FFX Cty and grocery store for a quick run before picking up LO. ;)Also, Definitely check them out on facebook! They are having lots of free events and activities throughout the summer. We went to the music class too and frozen yogurt social. They had balloon animals and free froyo :D Im so excited for my little one to start in the Fall.
