“We feel incredibly lucky to have found WeeCare, thanks to referrals from our friends. Our son started in the Ladybug Room when he was just 6 months old, and now, nearly a year later, we’ve seen him thrive in ways that make us so grateful for this community.

All of the teachers are attentive, caring, and truly love on every child like they’re their own. Every time we drop him off or pick him up, he has the biggest smile, and it’s clear how loved and cared for he is.

One of our biggest concerns when choosing a daycare was that our son requires daily medication. We were nervous about whether a daycare would be able to meet that need with the consistency and attention it requires. The team at WeeCare has gone above and beyond—several teachers have administered his medication, and they do it with such care and responsibility. They’re also incredibly communicative, active on their app, and never hesitate to call if they have questions.

It’s that level of attention to detail, love, and dedication that gives us peace of mind every single day. I could go on and on about how much our son has grown here, but I’ll leave it at this: we are so happy to have found WeeCare, and we look forward to the many years our son will continue to learn and grow in this amazing environment.”

“Maryvale is a great school. The Administration has been so helpful getting my son enrolled quickly. The staff is fantastic and friendly. Their is a waiting list for the little ones but it worth the wait to know your children are in great hands.”

“My son attended Cherry Blossom from 2 years old to 8 years old and I couldn’t have been happier with his experience there. All the teachers have been loving and provided wonderful care for my son. We moved which is the only reason we left. My son was sad to leave!”

“We are truly blessed to have found Azusa Discovery for our two little ones! Everyone at the center is very friendly and are passionate about the work that they do. They have great communication with parents and prioritze the safety of the children. I highly recommend Azusa Discovery Center.”

“My son has been here for almost 3 years. All the teachers and staff are very nice and professional! He has had many happy and wonderful memories with his classmates and teachers. I would give a 5 star rating!”

“We've been a Montessori of Walnut family for three years now and we love it. Ms. Laura, teachers and staff have all been wonderful to work with in developing my daughter's life and learning skills. Our daughter has excelled here and we have seen her growth week over week. This is a true Montessori school. The school offers extra curriculum (music, dancing, sports, and summer camps) and our daughter enjoys the classes, swim in the summer and dance, music and sports classes during the other seasons. She just turned four years old and is mastering simple math equations (addition and subtractions), recognizes words, writes her name without help. She is organized, cleans up after herself when she's done playing with her toys at HOME. Together we are raising we are raising a good citizen. Now that the infant room has been reopened, our son has joined the MOW family and just like we experienced the growth with our daughter we see him growing week over week. We highly recommend this school.”

“Our older daughter attended B'nai Simcha for 3 years and our younger daughter is there now-- we have loved the sweet community, the outdoor space and education, and the Jewish education focused on teaching Jewish ethics and values and centering around the Jewish holiday calendar. We have also made lasting friendships with other B'nai families.”

“My daughter started coming here about a month ago because the day care I had her at wasn’t paying enough attention to her and instead spend there time complaining about her behavior. But there has been such a drastic/ amazing change since she started at bright stars. Her behavior/ speech and playing skills have improved so much! I can’t thank them enough. Literally the director Maria has been nothing more than helpful and supportive with my daughter. All the teachers there are also super sweet and amazing. Overall my experience has been amazing andswitching my daughter to bright stars was the best thing I could’ve done for her!”

“Love the atmosphere, caretakers and the wonderful curriculum which is play based. Very happy to have found KA. My daughter loves her school. We are sad to leave but she is well prepared for TK/kinder thanks to wondering staff at KA.”

“We absolutely love our experience at this preschool! The staff are incredibly friendly, transparent, and always approachable. You can tell they truly care about the children and create such a positive, welcoming environment every day.

The director and the staff are wonderful — so sweet, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth and well-being. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my son is in such caring hands.

My son is so happy to attend each day, and that means everything to us. All the teachers are always smiling and genuinely happy to see him — it’s such a warm and loving atmosphere.

Beyond the smiles, the kids are learning so much — not just academically, but socially too. They’re being taught how to be kind, respectful, and thoughtful toward others, which is so important.

We’re truly grateful to be part of such an amazing community!”

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this school! The staff is kind, professional, and truly cares about the well-being and growth of every child. My daughter has not only learned so much academically but has also grown in confidence and social skills. The communication between parents and teachers is excellent, and I always feel involved and informed. I’m so grateful for the safe, supportive, and encouraging environment they’ve created. Highly recommend!”

“My daughters have attended Hope since they started Kindergarten, and we are exceptionally pleased with this decision. We are grateful for the school's positive impact on their education. We commend the dedicated staff and teachers.”

“I have two dogs and the staff here keeps me coming back. They deeply care about what they do and it shows in every interaction from the appointment setting to handling my pups at pickup. Sabrina at the reception is always helpful and the appointment reminder calls are a plus. Liza and Randy are so sweet and mindful with both my pups (one of them is a chihuahua if you catch my drift,) and they always come back shiny and happy!

When I had a concern about one of the grooming sessions, Liza and the team made me feel heard and made sure that any concerns I had were addressed without my asking. Glands can be tricky depending on the dog post-grooming, but their initiative from the get-go and ever since goes such a long way for me. Highly recommend the folks here!”

“Bright star is the definition of the perfect preschool/daycare. I have two children who attend this school (1 yr, 3 yr) and I can’t explain how much I love both the school and teachers. They truly care for the well being of the kids and teach them so many things. Just having my daughter in for a few months I notice her education growing. This school is everything Montessori and they are amazing with communication.”

“Love Don Julian Elementary, I have 4 kids there from Tk to 6 grade. The school has been changing since they added 7th and 8th grade and We got a new Principal a little over a year ago. First of all Mr. Arellanes (our new Principal) is awesome, my kids say he's Cool and he's doing a very good job. I heard about some issues going on with middle schoolers vaping and other stuff and let me tell you that school staff is not to be blamed for it. We as Parents are responsible for what our kids are doing. Education starts at Home. If you're really concerned about your kids education go to school meetings, district meetings speak up. Don't just come here and complain about it.”

“My son attended Tomorrowland this past year and we were beyond impressed. The staff, teachers and Ms. Claire really care for the students. My son loved learning there and is better equipped for Kinder.They have a clear system of how to communicate with families and teachers. They were very accommodating with our son’s allergies (there are many).The facilities are new and clean.Thank you to Tomorrowland!”

“My son was in this school and was the best school for toddlers kids . Wonderful teachers and we miss them. Unfortunately The fire in Pasadena born it down. But I just wanted to take some time and thanks the owners for a wonderful job and to continue . My son will love to be back with you .”

“We could not be happier with our decision to send our son to Hacienda Heights Christian Preschool. He was having a very hard time adjusting to a school setting and we had bad experiences at 2 previous schools. The differences are night and day. We feel as though the staff truly cares for our boy. He adores his teacher (Ms. Ana) and he looks forward to going to school every day. His behavior at home has improved greatly since moving to this school as well. His listening skills, patience, and attitude have never been better. We are forever grateful for Ms. Ana, Ms. Michelle, and Ms. Lisa.”

“Today is a bittersweet day as it is my daughter's last day at KinderCare Covina before she begins her journey to kindergarten. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible teachers who have played such a vital role in shaping who my baby is today.

My daughter started here just a week after her 2nd birthday, where she joined the 2-3 year old class. She was welcomed with warmth, patience, and love by Ms. Sandy and Ms. Monica who are absolute gems; Always nurturing, consistent, and full of energy & patience. They created such a happy and safe space where my baby could explore, play, and build confidence. Their ability to balance structure with creativity made her early learning experiences both educational and fun. I will always appreciate how much they cared for her and helped her develop those early social-emotional and classroom-readiness skills.

It was in Mrs. Rani's Pre-K & TK class where everything came together in the most extraordinary way though. If I could give more than five stars for Mrs. Rani, I would in a heartbeat. She is nothing short of phenomenal. She is rare kind of teacher who brings passion, wisdom, and heart into EVERY moment of her teaching.

Academically, my daughter flourished under her care. Mrs. Rani's ability to introduce foundational skills in reading, math, science, and critical thinking is masterful. But what sets her apart even more is her emphasis on the WHOLE CHILD. She guided my daughter to become independent, kind, emotionally aware, and eager to learn. Traits that are just as important as academics in my eyes, and ones I know will stay with her for life. Mrs. Rani built a classroom culture rooted in respect, curiosity, and compassion. She believed in my daughter and gave her the tools to believe in herself. Thanks to her, my daughter is not only prepared for Kindergarten, she's excited and confident about what's next!

And of course I can't go without also thanking the amazing Director & Assistant Director, Ms. Jessica and Ms. Arlene. They have been such a dependable and positive presence, always on top of communication, and always a fresh, smiling face to greet us at drop-off and pick-up. Their leadership has truly helped make KinderCare Covina feel like a supportive, well-run community.

And lastly, a wonderful part of this school (and probably my favorite thing I like to tell inquiring friends/parents who are unsure about sending their baby to daycare/preschool) is the KinderCare app! It kept us closely connected to our daughter's day. Getting updates in real-time, from what she ate (and how much), to how long she napped, to photos of her learning and playing, to the weekly curriculum; It gave us such peace of mind and made us feel like we were right there with her. It's an amazing tool for any parent who loves being in the loop.

KinderCare Covina has been more than just a daycare or a preschool for us. It has truly been a second home. I can't thank the staff enough for creating such a positive and enriching environment for my daughter.

To any parent considering this center: if you want a place where your child will be seen, supported, challenged, and deeply cared for, THIS IS IT!!! And if your child is lucky enough to have Ms. Sandy, Ms. Monica, and/or Mrs. Rani, know that they are in the BEST possible hands.

With all my heart, THANK YOU TO OUR FAMILY at KinderCare Covina. You've made a lasting difference in our daughter's life.”

“A huge thank you to Harry for his incredible dedication in teaching my son music theory! In a relatively short time, Harry not only prepared him to pass the CM music theory exam, but to excel, achieving high marks and even state honors. I was truly impressed by the depth of understanding and progress he made before the test. Harry has a fantastic gift for explaining complex topics in a way that's clear and engaging, making them accessible and truly understandable. Thank you, Harry, for your excellent teaching, guidance, and instruction!”

“It has been 2 years for my son. Two years before he was 4 years old. Now he Getting better and better and Had lots of fun！Coaches are strict but kids all like them”

“I can’t really emphasize enough how amazing this school is. All of the teachers here are great and they’re always doing so many fun activities with kids/parents. It’s a very open and inviting atmosphere with a great outdoor play area. I love the no shoes in classrooms. My child rarely got sick here. Compared to his last school where he was sick every other week and even contacted HFM. Big thanks to Ms.Susan, Ms. Giselle and Ms.Annie! I know Alan’s wild and a handful so we really appreciate it.”

“We want to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation for the unwavering love, care, and dedication you provide to our kids at the daycare. Your commitment to creating a safe and nurturing environment goes above and beyond, ensuring that our little ones not only thrive academically but also emotionally and socially.
Thank you for being the guiding light in their early years and for instilling in them a love for learning and a sense of security that will stay with them for a lifetime.
Thank you Ms.Joana , Ms.Nancy , Ms. Kathy and Ms.Delilah for all your efforts ??

We strongly recommend this preschool . ??”

“My kid had a really good experience here. It was just post pandemic where everything was opening up. The teachers and staff were caring and attentive. Of note, my nephews and cousins all attended ACGS through a couple of generations and all recommend it.”

“Excellent school ! There is a reason why close to 80% of graduating students attend a 4 year university. My only feedback would be that some of the school buildings are outdated and need some upgrades.”

“What a great organization! I have fond memories of going to Boys and Girls Clubs as a youth, and have volunteered at the Monrovia Boys and Girls Club several times to help out. The director is a great natural leader and a devoted advocate for our community and its youth.”
