Londonderry School

I was so happy to have this opportunity for my 4 year son to go to this school and I am so sad to have to move away. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the teachers, especially Ms. Lavendero and Ms. Strappello, directer, Ms. Dawn Malcolm, facility and the program. When I signed my son up I figured the basic stuff would be taught, ABC and 123's. Now that the school year is almost over, he is 5 and teaching me about the heart and how blood pumps through it, DNA, and he is spelling I am constantly amazed and Thankful.

Our families become apart of our extended families and we appreciate each and everyone.

I love this school! My first son went there and they helped me with diagnosing him with ADHD, he had previously been kicked out of 2 schools. There was a lot of patience involved in the whole process. The staff is great and very kind. I have my second son enrolled there this year and am very pleased that I got him in. Great school!!!

As a public school teacher, I am very concerned about the appropriate places to send my 3 year old for her preschooling. I was looking for a school that fulfilled the educational, spiritial, and social skills that my daughter would need inorder to be a successful child. After much research into local preschools, Londonderry is the school that was recommended time and time again. My child had never been in a school setting but quickly adapted and bonded with all of the wonderful staff members at the school. She is a cautious child but at school she is confident, loved, and appreciated for all that she brings to the classroom. I could not have dreamed of a better environment for my daughter to be in. Her first year there has been a great joy and I feel like we have extended our family all the teachers there!

I Love this school! I did not realize how unhappy my child was at her previous school until she started at Londonderry. My child never liked seperation and cried every morning. Now she goes right into the class, gives the teacher a hug, and begins her day. I have to ask for a kiss good-bye. She even wants to go on the weekends! I can see how much happier she is at school and even at home she seems less fussy. Also, she has learned more in a few months at Londonderry than she did in a year at her last school. If you really care about your child's happiness, this is the school for you!

My husband and I are very pleased with Londonderry. Our child does not adapt well to new situations and can get very upset upon our departure. This was a big concern for us. I addressed this initially with the staff and they helped her work through this beautifully. We have to coax her into leaving in the afternoons. We are amazed at her academic progress thus far. Londonderry has been the answer to our prayers!

I am very pleased with this school. From the first day I entered I was greeted and made to feel welcome. The director gave me a tour of the building and introduced me and my daughter to the teachers. After that every teacher seems to know me and my daughter. I talk to the director several times a week and have also exchanged emails several times. I have had conferences twice to check up on my daughters progress. The only problem I have had in two years is getting my daughter to leave at the end of the day.

This school is good, however, I am so disappointed with their curricuram. They claim they use montessori method, but they do not use montessori materials so much.(only early morning. kids does daily craft or other program during morning and afternoon.) I think it is another daycare, not montessori school we wanted.
