About Us
Our History
In 2015, Argentinean entrepreneur Nicolas Kogan and his wife, Annabella Mondi, a Venezuelan artist, collaborated with several passionate and experienced educators to establish the first Lovely Little Einsteins Preschool in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
​
The Founders’ vision was inspired by the unique teachings of Albert Einstein which promote creativity, curiosity, inquiries, observations and a love of nature.
​
Their mission was to promote every child’s ability to make leaps of innovation; understanding that genius happens when the right environment allows us to embrace differences and to nurture creativity.
​
In 2019, a new Board of Directors was established with the guidance and support of the Founders.
The Founders’ legacy continues in the growing network of Lovely Little Einsteins Preschools here in Puerto Rico.
Curriculum
Our Learning Program
Language & Literacy
Early childhood is a critical window for literacy development. During the early years, children acquire the ability to think, speak, learn, and reason. Our program is designed to prepare our students for reading readiness.
Social &
Emotional
Research shows social-emotional intelligence is one of the best predictors of future success. Our specific approach weaves character development and life skills into daily experiences so children can learn behavioral and relationship skills.
Mathematics
Early experiences with math help children develop reasoning and problem-solving skills. Our math program introduces numbers, measurements and patterns through hands-on learning.
Mental and Physical Development
Early intervention is a critical window for healthy neurological development. Our preschools provide occupational and speech therapists, psychologists, and specialists to make sure your child is supported in every way possible.
Science & Engineering
We believe that children are capable of being little scientists by learning concepts and engaging in disciplinary practices. Children are eager to investigate their environment. We support them by providing activities that encourage their natural curiosity.
The Arts
Our curriculum integrates visual, creative and performing arts into daily routines and school-wide performances. Arts integration combines the arts with subjects like math, science and reading throughout each student’s day.

Testimonials
What Parents Are Saying
Helma Selby
“I moved to Puerto Rico a little over a year ago. I was really worried that I wouldn’t find a good program to put my daughter in that compared to the schools where I’m from. Early education is important to me and I love that this foundation supports that. I toured a few schools and some felt like daycares. When I walked into LLE, I knew I was in the right place. The cleanliness and sheer size took me in at first. There’s an indoor and outdoor playground. And they have a garden! The curriculum is outstanding and I love that my daughter has healthy and nutritious meals served. I’m so glad I found this school and I can’t say enough nice things about it.”
