  • We are so glad to have found Little City. They have been welcoming and supportive to our whole family. My child has loved this school from the first day and never looked back. They really know her and have given her the tools and skills to grow and learn with thoughtfulness and care. My child loves their recreational activities as well. The kindergarten program is thorough and excellent. My child is learning so much every day and always thinks of it as fun and not work. They include “work” and responsibilities and the kids feel important and think of chores and duties as pleasant and fun. The administration is very well organized and runs smoothly nearly all the time. They are just really on top of things and it makes a mom’s life so much easier. Everyone who works there seems happy to and to genuinely love their work. They always have a welcoming word and smile for everyone who walks through their doors. I really can’t say enough good things about this “Little” school! I wish it went past Kindergarten.

  • It’s hard to overstate how positive our experiences with Little City have been. From the very beginning communication has been open, timely, and thoughtful. We had some hesitation sending our child to any care program but I can say without reservation this has been a great decision for us and especially for our daughter. While we are about to celebrate her 2 year birthday now, her three months at Little City have been amazing. The teachers and administration create an atmosphere of love, kindness, cooperation, and caring that we couldn’t have hoped for before seeing it. Our daughter gains confidence daily and I attribute it directly to the coral room team. Little City has created something really special and we are very thankful to be a part of it.

  • We joined the school this year and couldn’t have been happier with our decision. Teachers are amazing, they are very kind and caring. School is new so super clean and the owners really put a lot of thought into the way they built the school and the curriculums. We love the fact they have activities like music, yoga, dance and marshal art classes integrated through the week so kids can experience many different type of activities. Our daughter is in kindergarten and we are sad that we only will be with school for a year, wish we had many more years at this school! There is only great things we can say about the LCM!

  • New to the school this year and my daughter and our family have absolutely loved the experience. The teachers have been wonderful and it has been amazing watching my daughter come home and show me the growth and skills she's learned at school. There is a true sense of community among all staff and families, combined with beautiful state of the art facility, we are over the moon happy that we decided to send our child here.

  • Our son is having an amazing experience at Little City! He's happy to run into school each morning and can't stop talking about his teachers and friends. The children are outside daily but also have the luxury of a somewhat indoor playground with the Activity Center. We couldn't be happier with our decision and highly recommend LCM.

  • I currently have a two year old at Little City and I cannot be any happier with her progress with meeting milestones. The teachers work with you to achieve potty training by the end of the school year. Also, last year my oldest completed kindergarten, and she went into first grade knowing how to read and perform math equations. In addition to the academic aspects of the curriculum the activity part is a significant plus. All the classes offered during the week:yoga, dance, martial arts. Both of my daughters love them. I’m so happy this school is there for our children.

Questions parents ask about LITTLE CITY MONTESSORI

Is LITTLE CITY MONTESSORI a licensed child care provider in Pennsylvania?

Yes. LITTLE CITY MONTESSORI holds Pennsylvania certificate 103802785-0001, listed as "LICENSED" by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning in Philadelphia County. The current certificate runs to February 13, 2027. Confirm current standing at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch before enrolling.

What is LITTLE CITY MONTESSORI's Keystone STARS rating?

Pennsylvania rates LITTLE CITY MONTESSORI STAR 1, on a scale of one to four where four is highest. That tier took effect on February 19, 2021. Keystone STARS measures programme standards such as staff qualifications and learning environment, not inspection outcomes.

Does Pennsylvania record a negative sanction against LITTLE CITY MONTESSORI?

No. The state's provider dataset records no negative sanction against LITTLE CITY MONTESSORI at the time the record was published. That is a single field in a snapshot, not a full compliance history, and it is not the same as a clean inspection record. The licensing inspection detail is at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch.

Does this page show inspection results for LITTLE CITY MONTESSORI?

No. Pennsylvania completes at least one unannounced inspection a year at every licensed provider, and publishes the results through the provider search at compass.dhs.pa.gov/providersearch. Those results are not included here, and there is no open dataset of them, so nothing on this page reflects LITTLE CITY MONTESSORI's inspection history either way. Look the provider up there and read the licensing inspection record.
