This is the second time i give reviews, my first review they deleted it. In 2022 my son went this school just for a month and i took him. They always sent my son home because they say my son requested something with no proper language. I told them how my son learn if you guys keep send them home? They dont give solution either. They have strict rules at school and not all kids can understand and follow it as soon as they told student. They only preschool kid age, how can they understand strict rules soon? Instead they teach kid they just send student home if don’t follow rules. I thought my son was trouble maker but nope. I research about montessori school. Montessori is good method for all kids but doesn’t mean montessori school for every kid. This school should have trial days for new student. Just make sure a kid “fit” for the montessori school.

Anyway they have corner spot they called “square” where student who misbehaves will go there. Again this method not for all kids “ old school” . Every time we pass by this school my son told me “look at mommy Mean school” i guess my son got traumatized from this schooli

Lifestone Preschool is such a wonderful school! We enrolled in Lifestone preschool almost 1 year ago and started off by attending the summer program. Our daughter was 2 years old then and potty trained. She immediately took to all of the teachers and loved going to school. Her vocabulary and social skills flourished. She has learned so much in such a short period of time. We are so impressed. We love that the curriculum is bible based- this was very important to us. The school is super clean and the teachers are so warm, welcoming and patient. The school has a vegetable garden, chickens, butterfly garden, and a class bunny. The children are also taught life lessons, like folding laundry, cleaning and serving the other students. We definitely recommend this school to anyone searching for a preschool. It has surpassed all of our expectations!!

We are extremely happy with the training and care our daughter has received at Lifestone Preschool. The teachers do an amazing job fostering a peaceful and fun environment for the children to engage in creative exploration as they learn together. Our daughter has thrived since starting the program five months ago. She is excited to learn about the world around her and is being taught self-control and how to treat others with kindness and respect. The character development she is undergoing at Lifestone will benefit her for the rest of her life. We are grateful she has the opportunity to attend such a wonderful school and plan to enroll our younger two children as well.

This school is great for daycare & preschool. My daughter loves attending here. There's lots of hands activities for the kids to learn new skills & techniques. The staff is excellent. They are so informative about how your child did that day. I recommend this school to anyone looking to put their young child into school.

My daughter has been attending since she was 3. Her last day of kindergarten is tomorrow, and I am so sad this school doesn’t go any higher. My daughter has learned so much here and she is so happy to go to school. When I pick her up she’s usually upset with me because she wants to be the last one to be picked up. The teachers are amazing. They have so much patience but they are also strict. One of my favorite rules is the listen first time rule. Children are expected to listen the very first time they are asked, this has been great for at home too. The children are taught to resolve issues amongst themselves. Teachers will interviene when nessesary, but it’s nice that they teach the children how deal with each other instead of just telling on each other. Montessori has been great for my daughter, we have seen a great improvement in her academically. I have also seen her faith grow. She has developed such a kind heart. The fact that the curriculum includes bible teachings, is a big plus for my family. The values taught at this school are in accordance with the word of God. We will miss Lifestone so much and I can’t wait until my younger daughter is able to attend.

I absolutely love Lifestone Preschool!!! My daughter started going to Lifestone this past summer and she loves it too. She has a very shy personality and in just a few months she has blossomed in all areas, socially, physically, academically and spiritually.

The curriculum is PHENOMENAL and truly develops the child as a whole and at their level. She comes home with things she’s learned and I am amazed at how well the curriculum is thought out. My daughter is in the pre-K program and with her weekly letters she is learning the letter sounds, Bible truths, AND sign language in a rhyme that she can remember. For physical activity the school not only allows outside play, but they have “Brain Gym” which is directed play and helps with their coordination and balance. This is great for my daughter because she has long legs and could use a little help with coordination 🙂 The school also really emphasizes eating healthy which I like because it keeps me accountable to choose healthier foods for her. They learn about other things too, like the different seasons, how to cook simple things, who firemen & policemen are, and even Spanish. I can go on and on about how much she is learning. It is so much more than just ABC’s and 123’s. What I am very pleased with is how they prioritize character development and reinforce moral choices based on Biblical truth. This is truly a Bible based Montessori that incorporates God and His love in what they learn. Even before she started, Lifestone provided us with a welcome book. This book had pictures and explained the daily activities in a rhyme, which I really feel helped my daughter transition extremely well from being at home with me.

My husband and I are very protective over our children, but we feel extremely safe having our daughter enrolled at Lifestone. From day one the director, Marty, and the rest of the teachers have been wonderful. On our tour before we enrolled our daughter, Marty was very thorough in what we could expect from Lifestone and the school has exceeded our expectations. If I have any questions the staff and the teachers have always been more than willing to take time and chat with me. They have multiple forms of communication so I never feel out of the loop 🙂 Oh and the school is very clean! And they teach the children great habits on washing their hands and not spreading germs. This is so important to me because, I admit, I’m somewhat of a germophobe. Overall the teachers and staff are very nurturing with my daughter and we are so blessed and so thankful to have her in such a wonderful school. I highly recommend Lifestone to anyone!

This school has been such a blessing to my girls. It has prepared my 5 year old so well for kindergarten that we had her tested for the gate program and she did so well. Love this school and all their teachers.
