Little Flower Montessori School 66 Heatherfield Road, Valley Stream, NY 11581

"Little Flower Montessori has been the most fulfilling educational experience for my early learner. Tailored to each child’s needs, it serves our community well to have this gem in the neighborhood. Thanks to Ms. Pat and Ms. Fatima for nurturing the minds and hearts of the students."

"My daughter was lucky enough to attend Little Flowers Montessori, as we just moved back to the area. My daughter is delayed in speech and she made some improvement just from the month that she went there. Mama Pat is very caring towards the kids, and also teaches them please and thank you and how to be respectful, so I really appreciated that! She never leaves any kids out even though my daughter was there for only a month she got to graduate with the rest of the kids."

"If you are looking for reliable great child care services look no further. Grandma pat takes amazing care of her little ones. They go on trips around the neighborhood and do fun science experiments in the classroom. She helps with potty training and other milestones. Just an amazing place to enroll your child in. You won't regret it."

"I highly recommend Little Flower Montessori School. Grandma Pat, as we lovingly call her, is a gifted educator and administrator. She has created a five-star preschool program for children to grow, play, and learn. Grandma Pat works hard to foster a community, including parents and staff, that supports the development of each child."

"I am a certified NYC educator and searched hard and long for a Montessori school in Rosedale/Valley Stream Area. I have had the pleasure of sending my child to Little Flower Montessori school located on 66 Heatherfield Road in Valley Stream Long Island and would like to share my positive review. From the moment I stepped into the school, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere that Dr. Wilson (Grandma Pat) has created. Dr. Wilson and her staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the Montessori approach to education. Grandma Pat has many years of experience as a school leader and is well seasoned. What impresses me most about this school is the level of individual attention that my child receives. The Montessori method emphasizes personalized learning, and I could see that my child is thriving in this environment. My daughter was born during the COVID-19 pandemic, as a result, she was extremely shy and was not exposed to people outside of our immediate family. When she started school at Little Flower, she was 1 year and 2 months old. She would often stare from a distance and run away from adults. She was hesitant to play with other children. The teachers took the time to build a trusting relationship with my child that helped her to feel comfortable and safe. They took the time to get to know my child's unique interests and learning style, and they were always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had. The facilities are top-notch, with a wide variety of learning materials and activities available for children of all ages. I am impressed by the level of independence and self-direction that my child was developing, and it is clear that the Montessori approach is having a positive impact on her confidence and overall well-being. She is now social butterfly and has made tremendous progress. Communication is also fantastic - I receive regular updates on my child's progress and activities. At the end of every school year, I receive a comprehensive report that gives me a good sense of how my child is going and how I can support my child at home. It is clear that they genuinely care about my child's development and are invested in her success. The school is always neat and clean. The children learn how to clean up after themselves and maintain a neat space. They say the grace before they eat lunch and the staff teach them about table manners. They wash lunch dishes for you each day and send them home neat and clean. The children and families are all ONE BIG FAMILY. Everyone is just so thoughtful, and we are caring bunch of people. The children are well-behaved and kind.They celebrate each child’s birthday together, and families voluntarily bring cute grift bags for all of the children on holidays. My child loves the other children, and she is always so happy to come to school. Children never want to leave when their families come to pick them up, including my little one. Overall, I highly recommend this Montessori school to any parent looking for a high-quality, and engaging educational experience for their child. The staff and facilities are top-notch, and the Montessori approach truly fosters a love of learning and independence in children. Thank you Grandma Pat, Mrs. Ami, Mrs. Faatimah, and Mrs. Zedica for all that you do for our children! This institution is truly a place where your seeds can and will blossom in radiant flowers!"
