Learn And Play Montessori Irvington INC.

A heartfelt thank you to Miss Tashia, Miss Raizza, and Miss Ragini for arranging such a wonderful movie night during Christmas time at the Montessori. The arrangements were absolutely brilliant and thoughtfully done. Our daughter’s first-ever movie experience couldn’t have been better, from the cozy setup to the delicious hot cocoa, pizza, and popcorn, everything was perfect. Both our daughter and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening. It truly felt warm, festive, and memorable, and we’re so grateful for the effort that went into making it so special for the children and families.

My son goes to this preschool with joy every single day. He has never once said he didn’t want to go, which says a lot about how comfortable and happy he feels there. All of the teachers in his current class are incredibly kind and supportive, and he comes home each day having learned something new. I’ve been especially impressed with how well they teach early literacy and STEM concepts. Their approach is much more thorough and engaging than I expected, and I’m truly grateful for the care and quality of education they provide. It has exceeded our expectations, and we appreciate everything they do for our son.

[Negligence and Major Safety Concerns at Learn and Play Montessori, Irvington] My family had a deeply concerning experience at this location. On September 15, 2025, my 23-month-old child was left unsupervised on the playground after outdoor play. The teachers failed to perform a proper headcount and brought the other children inside, leaving my child alone outside in the heat. The incident was only discovered approximately 20 minutes later when my spouse arrived for pickup and found our child crying alone on the playground. It was not the staff, but us, who identified the issue. While the school's incident report confirmed the event, the fact that a toddler was left completely alone and unnoticed for that length of time is a serious safety concern. This incident highlights a major failure in supervision and accountability. We chose a Montessori school for its reputation for structured, attentive care, but this experience shows a critical lapse in basic safety procedures. I urge other parents to be cautious and strongly advise against enrolling their children at this facility until significant changes are made to their safety protocols.

Our child started attending LAMP Irvington right after we moved to the U.S. when he turned three. It was his very first preschool experience, and we were naturally concerned about the language barrier and the big transition. But thanks to the care, attention, and thoughtfulness of the teachers and staff, he adjusted smoothly and now looks forward to going to preschool every morning with a big smile. He has even made a best friend, and it’s been heartwarming to see him learning, playing, and sharing with other children. We truly appreciate how the school understands each child’s unique personality and needs, offering guidance that feels tailored and supportive. The daily feedback we receive during drop-off and pick-up is always gentle, insightful, and reassuring. If you're looking for a safe, nurturing, and thoughtful preschool environment, we wholeheartedly recommend LAMP Irvington.

I absolutely loved this preschool! The entire staff is so patient and involved, making sure both parents and children feel comfortable from day one. Miss Tasha (the director) is incredibly present and has done a fantastic job selecting the right teachers. My children, ages 5 and 2, have been so happy at school that they never want to come home! The teachers are deeply committed not only to academics but also to listening to parents’ concerns. It’s such a warm and nurturing environment that I always felt at ease leaving my kids here. Miss Rakhi, Miss Ragini, and Miss Razia have been amazing—welcoming us every day with big smiles and warmth. They are always professional, attentive, and truly dedicated to the kids. Seeing them each morning reassured me that my children were in the best hands. My kids’ teachers created a safe and enriching space where they made new friends and learned so much. My 2-year-old already knows so many songs and the ABCs, while my now 5-year-old is doing addition! Compared to other preschools, this one stands out as an exceptional blend of academics, nurturing care, fun, and safety. We only had to leave because we moved to a different city. We love you all and will miss you dearly! Thank you to everyone for making my kids’ first years of school such a wonderful and memorable experience. Thank you Bhava Patel
