Little Minds Montessori Lynbrook

My daughter went to Little Minds in Malverne full time for 2 years and loved every day. My son also went part time and loved it. The school is clean, the staff cares, the leadership is attentive and communicates well. They do an incredible job teaching the children while ensuring they are safe and enjoying school at the same time. Highly recommend, thank you!

We can say only positive and wonderful things about this little precious school in Lynbrook. First of all it is a home away from home for my daughter. The staff not only cares about the children, they do care about your own family with sincere compassion, love and affection. The ratio is amazing and the children get a one to one attention during the Montessori activities which is hard to find anywhere else. The staff embraces the Montessori philosophy to its core: “teach me how to do it myself”. Children are allowed to be themselves, each and everyone in their own unique ways. To quote doctor Maria Montessori: “ Children are the best part of humanity”. At Little Minds Mrs Manjula and her staff truly believe so. We always loved their methods and the fact that children are not distracted by eccessive toys or unnecessary things as a result their creativity and imagination are triggered in amazing ways. They engage with the children in tailored activities and daily tasks to help their manual skills and balance. My daughter learned so much and outgrew her separation anxiety. At age 3 she fights to get dressed by herself, to go potty by herself, to fold a blanket on her on or even to help cleaning around the house. This is all thanks to the methods they use and the consistency. Also through an app the teachers always inform you on the schedule and activities and we receive on a daily basis plenty of pictures and videos so we feel part of our child’s special moments. Every year they host holidays parties, shows, informative meetings on the Montessori method (to educate the parents on how to extend the Montessori method at home) and much more. The teachers work hard to engage the children in the Montessori activities. They have also gymnastics and yoga classes which our daughter loves. Miss Eileen and Miss D. were there for our little one since day one and they have a special place in our hearts but so do all the other teachers who work hard with a smile every day. If you are looking for a “school” not simply a daycare this is the place. Thank you Mrs. Manjula and Little Minds we will be for ever grateful for your patience, dedication, love. The early years are the most important in a child’s life and we were so lucky to find you.

I love little mind Montessori, my son is a student of the school and each day he is always excited to go to school. They give educative, Montessori and fun activities to the kids. One interesting part of it is that you see all your child’s activities each day and they have teachers that gives the kids individualized attention. They are supportive and helped my son potty trained early. The manager, Ms Ashley is always on point with the kids, she knows and understand my son’s strength as well as his weakness. She calls and reminds you of activities so they don’t miss out. Little mind is absolutely a good place to start …l love ❤️ it

Let me just say that the photos and tour make it seem like you will be getting the best service for your children. However, you will also be highly deceived. Despite this being a small location, the children seem to run the place. As a parent, whenever you'd walk in, all the kids would be right by the entry area, trying to open the door. My child was constantly getting sick. I don't believe the facility is properly cleaned every day. The new director, Ms. Ashley, does not know what she's doing. She's very inexperienced and will tell you anything you want to here. She's basically a people-pleaser, and she talks as if she's reading off a script. Whereas, when you speak to Ms. Manjula, she contradicts everything that's been said by Ms. Ashley. What they do here is lie about the service you're getting. There are only three teacher assistants with one head teacher, who is also the "director." It seems as if she only has this position to save face. Despite the fact that there are four teachers, the children are all mixed together, including 2- and 4-year-olds. To improve, they need to have more safety procedures that include the health of the children and someone who can properly run the facility.
