Our program supports individual and group needs, suited to a wide range of developmental patterns and individual differences by providing experiences within a child’s range of interests and competencies so that there are many opportunities for success that contribute to his or her sense of self-worth; establishing a climate that fosters feelings of security and a sense of independence so that an awareness of one’s values both as an individual and member of a group can be felt; providing guidance for the child as he or she learns to relate to others, so that warm human relationships can be developed.
My son has been with Les Enfantes Preschool for six months now, and we couldn’t be happier. He absolutely loves his teachers, and it’s clear they truly care for him. The staff are warm, professional, and attentive to each child’s needs.
Before joining Les Infantes, we had tried another daycare, but drop-offs and pick-ups were heartbreaking—my son would cry every day and even started having nightmares. Everything changed within the first two weeks here. He began asking to go to school on his own in the mornings.
We are so grateful for the positive, nurturing environment you have created.

---------------------This is my rating as a parent --------------------
Would not even give a star if possible. My judgement is based on only one teacher: Teacher I**s. She would never provide me a brief feedback about my child's day at summer camp and if she did, she was very reluctant and used these exact words: "We do not provide feedback for SUMMER CAMPERS". She also literally shoved my child out the school door for the last three consecutive weeks when she saw me a few steps away from the door and shut the door right in front of me because of "safety issues". And yet, I always saw her in a distance away, chatting with other parent (either already or are going to send their child to Les Enfants) with the door widely opened. I have been in this field as a professional for ten years and have NEVER seen a teacher display such behavior. After receiving this type of discrimination, I lost trust in Teacher I**s and withdrew my child from her last week of summer camp.
---------------------This is my rating as a professional --------------------
This rating is based on the classroom which my child was assigned - do not know how the other classrooms are managed.
As a professional, who has been in the field of child development and education, and also a current child therapist for the last ten years, the school curriculum itself is great. I trusted the school curriculum and decided to send my child to Les Enfants.
I had a chance to observe the classroom for two days and the curriculum is not conducted in a professional way. Class materials are not prepared in ahead of time, which causes the children to easily lose interest, lack of transition time for the children to get ready for the next activity and teachers display too much emotion to children. Teachers must display empathy not emotions to children, and it was clearly noticeable that the teachers (both primary and assistant teacher in my child's classroom) lack training in this professional area. (Not to forget about establishing rapport with parents - not a single parent should be felt left out like this - very very unprofessional). It is such a pity to waste such an excellent curriculum due to the lack of skills for both classroom management and teaching. The teachers also drop snacks from the air - I wouldn't even feed my dog this way - so I was very shocked.
------------------------------------------------------
In conclusion, I am not sending my child back to Les Enfants and will not recommend Les Enfants to my friends. I would rather spend that money on a luxurious trip.

I'm surprised I'm still living to write this review -- I drove my patient wife crazy with the number of schools we examined. But then we stumbled into Les Enfants - and it was well worth the search.
For what it is worth, our search involved 3 criterion: 1) strong and stable leadership at the top of the school, 2) teachers/assistants that will form a healthy, positive relationship with our child – there is ample evidence that this is a statistically significant driver of a child's cognitive advancement in preschool, and 3) a curriculum that is well thought out, believed in by all staff, and aligns with my views OR educates me to an improved way of viewing things.
Going on third year and still love the place.

I visited office to see how the Nursery school was like, but I found the lady in the office is repressive and never listen to what I say, or think.
I would not like to go there.
