3 Best Preschools in Boise, ID

"As a parent who tries to balance work and home demands, finding a school that shares my values of laying a strong educational foundation, teaching my children to be kind and compassionate, Lakewood Montessori exceeds my expectations every time.

Lakewood has been absolutely wonderful with our two children. I toured many daycares and fell in love with the gorgeous playground and garden space at Lakewood. The teachers are so warm and genuine and I can see how loved and supported my children have been. They have both absolutely blossomed here! Our toddler was diagnosed with diabetes which was completely unexpected and his teachers and school staff were so supportive throughout the process. They do everything with intention so I have been able to have confidence that they take his care seriously and have been willing to learn along the way. I would absolutely recommend Lakewood!.

It’s hard to overstate how special Lakewood has been to our family. Both our kids absolutely loved their years there, and my husband and I had the pleasure of knowing with certainty that they were safe, nurtured and loved when we were at work. Lakewood creates a true community of respect, gratitude and independence. The kids get to climb trees, splash around, build forts, plant flowers, raise baby quails, harvest their own veggies — oh, and learn crucial preschool and kindergarten skills, too. Just 10/10.

As a parent needing childcare for the first time, looking through all the locally available options and weighing the benefits and drawbacks was anxiety-inducing. We were lucky enough to choose Lissa’s right off the bat, there have been no regrets and we plan on keeping our kids there until they’re grown enough to attend school. It’s heartwarming to see how much the teachers love and care for our children. It’s been the greatest experience so far as working parents, knowing our children are being watched over and taught by responsible and loving people and that we don’t have to worry about their wellbeing when we’re gone most of the day.

I love Lissa's Learning Ladder! I couldn't ask for a better place to take my kids. I had so much anxiety looking for a place for my son and when I walked into Lissa's Learning Ladder I knew it was the place for us. Everyone is so kind and amazing with the kids. When I'm at work I don't have to worry about my son or daughter when she goes. I know they are being well taken care of. With my sons health issues I finally feel like I'm not crazy. They notice all the little things that a mom would. I have been able to start to get my son the help he needs because they are so vigilant. They go above and beyond!.

My son has gone here since he was 12 weeks old (now almost 4 years old). The staff are amazing and have always taken such great care of him. Now that he is in the preschool room he is learning to write his name and practice numbers, letters, and shapes. He has made great friends here. I have nothing but good things to say about Lissa’s!.
