Learn and Play® Montessori School & Child Care Hercules - Hercules, California

All the teachers are excellent. I think the best part is management and the school system are excellent. They have rules to keep my child safer than the previous preschool my son went to. My child has not gotten sick once at this school versus the previous preschool where my child got sick often. We finally left the other preschool when there was too much inner turmoil between staff and the owner. I never felt any turmoil here at LAPM Hercules, so very glad that we switched schools.

I referred another family and they were glad that they switched preschools as well.

LAPMS is nothing short of amazing! My husband and I are SO happy we transferred our son here.

The Montessori approach in Hercules is truly inspiring—our child has developed independence, confidence, and a genuine love for learning. The hands-on, child-led curriculum allows children to explore at their own pace, fostering curiosity and creativity. The classrooms are in pristine condition and thoughtfully designed, with materials that encourage problem-solving and critical thinking.

My son’s teachers Ms. Nancy and Ms. Sehar and his teacher aids are so awesome! From my own observation and the feedback I get from my son, I can tell they are nurturing, patient, and invested in each child’s growth. What I love about the teachers is that they take the time to understand every child’s unique needs and interests, creating a supportive and enriching environment. In the short time he’s been there, we’ve seen incredible progress in our son’s social skills, emotional intelligence, and academic abilities. Every day he demonstrates something new, and I can see his little wheels still turning when he gets home from school.

Ms. Lizette maintains excellent communication with parents, keeping us informed and involved in our son’s development. I appreciate all the staff I encounter at pick-up or drop-off are personable and engage in conversation about my son or his progress.

We recommend LAPMS to any parent looking for a nurturing, engaging, and inspiring place for their child to learn and grow.

We feel very fortunate to have found such a warm and wonderful school. Over the past 4 months, it has been amazing to watch our son learn and grow through the care of Learn And Play school. The dedicated staff, combined with fun and educational classroom structure, has truly made a positive impact on him. We couldn’t imagine our son going anywhere else!

We are very happy that we enroll our daughter at LAMPS. It is very spacious with nice playground. They have such a wonderful staff with good knowledge on how to deal with kids like my daughter . My daughter is 2.5 year old very shy and didn’t like new environment we were having a hard time looking for daycare for her since she wasn’t comfortable on the other day care we put her in . She used to cry a lot and we were very stressed about it . She changed after we put her here. She is now a happy kid who likes to go there every morning without crying. I like how the staffs gives us update about every little thing she does there. I noticed She is learning a lot of things and its not even a month she started there.Thank you for everything you do there.
