It’s time for a review after 2 years. I have two children attending LAPM Silvergate and both children are opposite personalities. My son can be extremely shy and require some extra support— I am beyond proud of him and how confident he has gotten here at the school. We used to attend bright horizons and pulled him out after a year— it just wasn’t for him. He loved LAPM pretty quick and has found his interests. He’s grown to be much more confident. The school was very helpful with him— they allowed him to choose where he wanted to be at drop off weather in class or upfront at the reception— they kept it interesting and supportive. He was a crier at drop off and now confidently goes to school on the morning. They are consistent.
They also offer extra curricular activities which my kids love like music and sports. My kids also are confident in Spanish because they teach them.
The teachers are great and I’m overall happy. I am amazed at how much they know and are excited to learn. I also don’t feel pressure for my kids to be at any level of academia— as every kid goes at their pace but they are encouraged to keep going.
My children are also Palestinian and Spanish and I’ve always felt welcomed and love that they have international day where every child gets to share their culture. I’ve never felt like we had to hide our culture or fit in which is a big reason we love this place for their inclusivity.
We’ve had such a lovely experience at Learn and Play Daycare in Dublin. The staff are warm, attentive, and really take time to know each child. Our little one comes home happy and full of stories about art and play. The place feels safe, clean, and genuinely caring. We’re so grateful we found them.
We have had such a wonderful experience with Learn & Play Montessori at the Silvergate branch. My son started here an year ago and since then we have noticed great improvement in him.
The teachers are warm, caring, and very patient with him. They take the time to understand his personality and needs, and I really appreciate how they encourage him to become more independent while still giving him the support he needs. He has learned so much—not just academically, but also with social skills, communication, sharing, and becoming more confident in doing things on his own.
What I appreciate most is that the school genuinely feels like a nurturing environment rather than just a place where children spend the day. The teachers are attentive, communicate well with parents, and keep us informed about how our son is doing.
As a parent, leaving your child at school can be difficult, especially in the beginning, but the caring teachers and welcoming atmosphere at Silvergate gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind.
We are very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend Learn & Play Montessori – Silvergate to other parents looking for a loving, structured, and engaging environment for their little one.
Thank you, Learn and play Montessori 🙂
Best,

My son recently started attending the after-school program at Learn and Play @Silver Gate Dublin. Initially, he faced some challenges adjusting to the new environment; however, the staff and teachers demonstrated exceptional patience and care in helping him feel comfortable and settled without any complaints.
The facility is clean, well-organized, spacious, and well-ventilated, providing a welcoming environment for children. The program follows a structured and thoughtfully planned curriculum, which has helped my son learn and develop new skills.
We are extremely satisfied with our experience at Learn and Play and truly appreciate the dedication and support of the entire team. We look forward to their continued guidance and support in my son's growth and development.

My daughter went to Bhavika when she was a year old till 4 years old. Bhavika is a very caring, intuitive, and loving caretaker whom looks to enhance child play and looks out for the kids needs. I never had to worry about my daughter as I knew she was in good hands. Now my son is there now it’s been already a year and can see him be with Bhavika till he starts T-K. Thank you for all you do!
