Finding LPC for daycare for my 1.5 year old son was finding my peace of mind. Both of my sons have loved attending the toddler and preschool program, excited to come in the mornings and happy to share their day afterwards. Play based learning is the gentle way that the wonderfully talented teachers guide students every day into pursuing their interests: whether its exploring insects, gardening, cooking, building. Kids truly thrive here and we as parents appreciate the teachers availability and experience. Teachers here ROCK! They are playful and imaginative, nurturing but very capable of setting boundaries when needed. Great prep for K: my older son learned all the pre-K basics at LPC : numbers, counting, recognizing letters and a bit of writing. Activities are abundant, and children LOVE visits from various musicians, magicians, story tellers, yoga teachers etc. Fields trips are organized on a regular basis. Last but not least the outdoor playspace is wonderful - spacious, some shade, lots of fun structures to play on. The kids go outside multiple times a day (in winter as well!) The school provides healthy snacks (a very creative menu!) and on-site cooked treats every now and then.

My son attended LPC as a toddler and spent a year in the toddler room with Ms. Talia and Ms. Leslie. We had an amazing experience. We found the teachers to go above and beyond at every opportunity. The teachers are extremely attentive and attuned to the needs of each individual child. The communication is exceptional. In addition to the daily written communication log, I often found emails and extra notes sent my way just to update me on how my son was doing in school . My son came home every day with a smile on his face and many stories to share about his friends and teachers. We would highly recommend LPC to any family looking for an exceptional preschool experience for their child. The director is extremely knowledgeable and highly efficient. She is always willing to work with the families in any capacity and always shows so much compassion. This is a pretty special school and the best choice I could have ever made for my son.

We love LPC!!!! My younger son went there for three years (he was 2-5yo) and loved every minute of it. He still refers to it as his school and asks to go back and play on the playground (which is awesome by the way). The teachers are warm, caring and fun and have no shortage of energy and creative ideas. They really treat your child like he is one of their own. I never worried for one minute about him while he was in their care. Most importantly, the emphasis at LPC is on play and discovery. The kids go outside all the time, no matter the weather, and teachers organize a ton of projects from cooking to gardening to art. The teachers take the kinds on a walk to the fire station, or the library in town. Believe me, if you dont have kids in public schools yet, you will be shocked at how little time there is during the school day for physical activity and fun, creative activities. I am so glad my son was able to spend 3 yrs at LPC!!

Amazing people. We are so sad to be leaving, but will be moving out of state. Top notch care and we loved that the kids got outside even when the weather was sub-par. No babying the babies, but a lot of love and care. Lots of well thought out projects and activities, and lots of books and toys available for the kids to explore and use. Also great ratio of 2 teachers for 8 kids with a floater, so usually 2.5:8 if not better than that. (we had a 2y/o in the young toddler classroom with Talia/Leslie).

Our daughter has attended LPC for 4 years. The teachers and administrators have been very kind and thoughtful. She has learned so much and had a lot of fun there.
