LiMai Montessori Academy

Update： the owner said this I didn’t visit. I did visit under a different name. However who will leave a review under their real name for a school while their child is still at school age? The director did hand out the price list after greeting and gives no interest in introducing their school like what is different in Montessori .etc. I already found somewhere else and hopefully they are better than this one. Former post: This review is about the director. I Visited this school and the director shows nothing about caring or loving for kids, all she cares about is the money. First thing after greeting she handed out the price list. Maybe she thinks not everyone can afford? Lol. And she is very impatient answering questions or give some intro about her school or class. Can’t imagine how she will treat my kid and how teachers will be under her management. Not recommend this place.

My daughter started at Limai the day the pandemic started in March 2020. She barely spoke English. She now speaks English very well, knows the good manner in English, and also started speaking Spanish since she is in the Spanish Immersion class. We are French speaking at home and we were looking for a play-based program with great attention to the child's identity. We love Limai and are so proud of the way they handle the respect of the safety rules for our community. We love all the team, from the director who is welcoming all the children with a nice attention and caring for the well-being of everyone. The teachers who are really professional all the way to Miss Candy, the chef, who cooks a variety of food and expose our children to other flavors and recipes. I had plenty of boxes to check before sending my daughter to school and Limai checked them all and more!

혹시 자녀분들을 이 학교에 보낼생각이시면 접으세요! 거의 2년동안 보냈다가 돈만 엄청 날리고, 교육상 배우는게 아예 없습니다. 제 자녀가 이 학교에 다니다가 다치고 치이고 친구가 때려도 제 아들이 나중에 이랬다 저랬다 제 아들이 잘못했다 이래서 충격적인 사연들이 너무 많고 또 많아서. 요즘 젊은층 엄빠들이 많은데다 이렇게 행동하시면 정말 큰일나세요! 아무리 씨씨티비가 설치되고 director 선생님이 그걸 항상 지켜보고 계시는거 같은데 정말 그런 행동들 정말 unprofessional 해보여요! 아직도 계신지 모르겠지만 자녀 분들이 교육상 뭘 배우고 싶으시면 다른곳 추천 드립니다! 그리고 씨씨티비가 전부가 아닙니다! 얘가 다치고 치였는데 그걸 보상이라는 생각 전혀 없으시면 그냥 조용히 입다물고 사죄라도 하세요! 재수없어서 정말 어처구니가 없네요!! Dont go here!!! Not the place to learn from these teachers!!!!

we been sending our son here for 3 years now. If it wasn't for the move, we would of continued here for many more years. We truly love all the staff here!!The teachers are so sweet and patient with our child and he is a very active kid. Everyday after school, my son would tell me what he learned in school that day. Some of the knowledge he knows truly amazes me. We are currently looking for another school for our son and it's so hard to settle with any. None of the schools that I looked so far offers all the options they have here. We feel lucky and spoiled by this school. This school also offers Chinese and Spanish classes. Some of the staff here speaks other languages as well. It truly is an awesome school. We will miss Limai greatly!!

We started attending this school less than 6 month ago. I was hesitant at first because my son has had a bad experience with a daycare. However after the first day, he was so excited that he didn’t want to go home. He kept asking all evening when he can go back there. And still till this day he is happy to go to school in the mornings. He loves the kids there (his friends) and he talks with excitement about his teachers. I can already see some academical progress which makes me happy. I also love the convenience of checking in and out. You just scan a barcode and that’s it. So much better than writing and signing. Same goes for monthly pay. I set it up once in the app and I don’t have to worry about it every month. So convenient!!!

I enrolled my child there for almost 2 years. They kept increasing tuition every semester. If you are a working parent, DON’T enroll your child there because you will be stuck in so many days. They take so many days off throughout the year and even if they open during closures, they make you pay extra money than the monthly payment which is extremely unfair. On the other side, teschers there are well experienced and supportive. My child loved his teacher so much. School is also very clean.

Before our decision to put my oldest son in LiMai Montessori academy , we checked out couple preschools in our neighborhood. LiMai Montessori academy became a very special school for our family . First , no religion, instead, a concentration on academics, which I think is much more important. My oldest son enrolled here when he was 2,5 years old. After 1 year we have to take him out because of our financial problems. And it was such a hard time for me as a mom because I see how my child became unhappy and every day he was asking when he can come back to the school. After 7 month we enrolled our oldest son 3,8 and 2 years old daughter. And they love it so much. Every morning they are so excited to go to school and in evening they don’t want to go back home. That’s the first sign this school rocks. Usually when kids start going to the preschool for first time they cry a lot and they don’t want parents to leave them there. But this is not about this school. The enrollment occurs very easy and smooth. Second, every teacher , faculty members, etc, reinforces a positive environment that enhances my kids self esteem and confidence. The teachers care so much about their students and are extremely dedicated to their jobs. My kids started the potty training at 2,5 ( my son) and at 2 ( my daughter) years old and it went so well and so fast. I was so impressed. Third, they have two chefs who is making a healthy and delicious breakfasts and lunches , which is very important for me. So for our family’s opinion this school is worth every penny.
