Little Linguists International Preschool

Our son has been attending LLIP since he was 9 months old. It has been an amazing experience. He is learning Spanish, French, Mandarin, and of course English. The school is committed to whole child development and has incorporated yoga, movement, and community service into its curriculum. They also recently transitioned to a full organic menu. We just moved to midtown and still drive him to East Point to go to LLIP. We would not think of sending him anywhere else!

Every parent tries to do their best for their child, and as a parent of a Little Linguist International Preschool (LLIP) student, I believe I am giving my child the best possible opportunity and quality care. I am disheartened to hear such disgruntled reviews. My child has been at LLIP for over 2 ˝ years and appears to be astonishing ahead of non LLIP peers in language , comprehension and social interaction as well as exposure to culture, music and physical activity. With all organization communication is paramount, and communicating changes can be a challenge. I have found the transfer of information to be reasonable and timely, between newsletters, bulletin boards, e-mail, as well as notes at sign in/ out. There have been times we have not been “publicity” informed of changes, but the door has always been open for me to ask any questions. There are also regularly scheduled PTO meetings where parents may come together and ask questions or express any concerns to the school administration. I also did hear about an incident at the school where a child was given food that they were allergic to, but CONFIRMED that this occurred after hours, and was distributed by a parent to the child not a teacher or employee of the school; and although a horrible accident, thankfully it didn’t. As parents it is our job to provide for, protect and advocate for our children, and LLIP may not be the best fit for every child, but I am thrilled that this institution is available for MY child.

A daycare which I WOULD NOT recommend, I had to pull my child out because of the constantly changes, they were changing teachers all the time, classrooms, school coordinators At 1st the school was ok, children were learning Spanish and French but something happened, some teachers left and we as parents were paying a lot of money for a bad education where children started losing the language they have acquired before.

Also LLIP is NOT SAFE at all, one of the children got intoxicated eating PEANUT BUTTER sandwiches!! Everyone knows that nuts are not allowed at any school because of allergies.
If you are planning to sign your child up at LLIP take your own risk....

My toddler loves the school! He is never ready to leave when I pick him up.
Every staff member is nice and approachable. His teacher is phenomenal and always has him doing something new. This is one of the few schools that seem to really mean 'open door' policy. (Some will say that but seem a little threatened by you actually doing it IMO)
I think the immersion method is highly effective so far. It's amazing how fast he started picking up new words without being 'taught'. He's even learning songs , which is something he had trouble with in English before. The diverse and multi-lingual atmosphere is giving him a great appreciation for language and other cultures. Even if he never becomes fluent I think he has gained some critical skills already. He even perks up when he hears other languages now instead of tuning it out.
It's hard to find childcare or preschool with caring teachers and a quality curriculum that is fun for the kids too. ..here you get all of that plus a second language.
