“My son loves this place. He had Ms. Gaby, Ms. Alba and has Ms. Anita. The teachers are wonderful and I have seen him grow leaps and bounds here. He will be ready for preschool I’m sure. Love the events and the bilingual focus here. Also, it’s nice to know that if I have a baby, that baby can attend the same school which will minimize drop off/pick off time and stress.”

“Our experience at Love and Care Christian Preschool was nothing short of wonderful! My two children, aged 4 and 2 years at the time, attended this preschool for about 6 months, and they absolutely adored all the teachers.

It was my daughter's first daycare/preschool experience, and she initially had a tough time adjusting. However, Ms. Silvia's patience and care made all the difference. My daughter went from crying in the first couple of weeks to eagerly looking forward to school, especially to see her "best friend," as she lovingly called Ms. Silvia.

Ms. Lucia, in particular, stood out for her kindness. She was always very caring. Sadly, we had to relocate to a city far away, and saying goodbye to Love and Care Christian Preschool was difficult. The progress I witnessed in my kids during their time there was remarkable – from improved writing skills to enhanced personalities overall.

I truly recommend this preschool to every parent. The dedication and care exhibited by the teachers make it a nurturing environment for children to thrive. If you're looking for a place where your kids can learn, grow, and build lasting connections, I guarantee you this is the ideal place. :)

I am forever thankful for all the wonderful teachers at Love and Care Preschool for taking such good care of my kids.”

“Well, I like the school because of how attentive and friendly the teachers are to the students. I don't speak English so they try to talk to me in Spanish.⊂⁠(⁠◉⁠‿⁠◉⁠)⁠つ”

“We put our 3 1/2 year old son in lyric preschool for three months while we were in LA visiting family. If we were local we would have kept him there. He learned so much in his three short months there. He loved his teachers and made good friends. I cannot recommend this school enough!”

“It's an excellent place for young children to expand and grow. With many years of having an outstanding reputation for excellence, this small school takes personal pride in the education, safety, and development of each of its students. All of the staff and teachers know each of the students. And each student is greeted personally by name each morning!

The teachers are incredible! With years of experience, great pride, and a true desire to do the best for each child, the teaching staff excels! They are well-trained and well-versed in a wide range of behavioral and academic learning techniques, as well as being truly passionate about teaching each of their pupils. Each child gets a lot of individual attention in their classes.

Our experience has been remarkably positive, from Nursery to TK to Kinder. It was a bit overwhelming and confusing at first, especially as it was our first school at the time, but after a couple months we could see the value clearly and really began to appreciate the teachers and staff.”

“I can't say enough about this lovely little school- our son loved it, we loved it. The social/emotional child led play based structure was exactly what our child needed after being inside for a year because of the pandemic. Gilbert and Wendy care enormously for the children, as do the other parents. It is extremely bittersweet to be moving on....If you haven't found your village yet, look no further!”

“As a parent with a child who has autism, it has been a hell of a journey to find a community and school that accepts and cares for my son. The owners, the managers, the teachers all have been amazing advocates for my son and have helped coordinate with our state IEP for extra care and support and therapy. We couldn't have survived these last 2 years without Mentor School and we are proud to have sent our son here. Highly recommend for all parents and kids.”

“We've been at GSCC since January 2020. It came highly recommended by a local mom and after touring with Ms. Linda we loved it. All three of my kids have attended here. They love it and have learned so much. The teachers are so compassionate and caring towards my kids and me. They helped with potty training and transitioning through different developmental milestones. I would highly recommend it.”

“We can't say enough amazing things about IMA. Our daughter recently graduated and we watched her thrive here. The teachers and staff were incredibly communicative throughout the program especially during the pandemic. They challenge the kids while giving them enough space to grow at their own pace. I always felt like the teachers really saw who my daughter was and helped her grow into her own. Highly recommend!”

“Giselle at RLC 2 is a true gem! She is patient, kind, caring and takes very good care of the children. If I have any concerns the directors takes my needs seriously and we find resolutions together for the benefit of my son. My son is learning ALOT and is thriving. The owner is dedicated to excellence and it shows with the growth and development of my son.”

“I was on vacation in California and took my six year old daughter here for a day. She had so much fun exploring, inventing and playing with the other kids.

When we woke up the next day, the first thing my daughter said was, “I want to go back to Imaginology.”

We had plans to go to Huntington Gardens, but instead we took her back to Imaginology and dropped her off.

The adults had a nice day at the gardens and when we went to pick up my daughter from Imaginology she didn’t want to leave.

My daughter is usually very shy and anxious around new places and people. The fact that she wanted to go back the next day and was okay with being left there without me speaks volumes.

The staff is very friendly and professional.

The philosophy and activities at Imaginology changed my life and perspective on parenting/childhood development for the better.

I would for sure 10/10 recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun day with their kid.

I would also for sure 10/10 recommend this place to anyone looking to learn more about the power of imagination and play. These are such an important concepts to understand in our modern high tech cookie cutter society.

If we had one of these in Michigan, we would visit it at least every month.”

“My son has been attending Goldenwest Preschool since March 2022, and I am incredibly pleased with the experience. I initially chose this school based on a friend's recommendation, and it has exceeded my expectations. The facility is not only clean and well-organized but also thoughtfully separates kids by age group, considering their educational levels.The three teachers per room setup is a standout feature for me. It provides an extra layer of care and attention for the children. The communication from the staff is excellent, keeping us well-informed about any upcoming events or important updates. When my son was 2 and under Mrs. Jackelyn's care, she made it easy for me to leave him at school with her loving and positive approach.Now, at four years old, my son has three teachers, and Mrs. Rene, with whom I primarily communicate, is equally caring and nurturing. Her balanced approach includes necessary discipline, which I appreciate. I'm particularly impressed that she teaches sign language to the kids, and it's heartwarming to see my son coming home and sharing his newfound knowledge.Mrs. Amy who is the school director, has been immensely helpful, providing information about financial assistance programs. The Christian values instilled in the curriculum, especially the emphasis on love towards God, are of great significance to me. As a pregnant mother, I'm already considering enrolling my upcoming baby in Goldenwest Preschool. The dedication of the entire staff, including many unnamed teachers and faculty, has given me peace of mind while I'm at work, knowing my son is in excellent hands.I am grateful for the positive impact they've had on my son's growth and development.”

“My daughter has been coming here since she was a baby. The level of love,compassion and empathy everyone here shows the kids is unmatched. As a mom I could always count on them communicating with me about my child.They helped jumpstart her potty training which was a huge help. My daughter also enjoyed being there with her peers and the staff was always so kind. I valued how much care and love they showed my daughter and celebrating all the kids milestones. They Definitely offer piece of mind even on her first day I was calling throughout the day and they never hesitated to give me updates on how my daughter was doing which was great. I appreciate everyone's help here and helping my daughter meet her milestones.”

“Kids Klub is an outstanding daycare and preschool with an exceptional staff and directors. The age appropriate curriculum accompanied with the safe, loving, and nurturing environment makes Kids Klub a high quality program for children of all ages, infants through elementary (afterschool program).”

“My husband and I love this school program. The staff is amazing with the kids they always make them feel welcomed and safe. Both my kids have gone to Kids First Learning Center and they have loved it so much, we are hoping our third baby on the way gets to go as well.”

“I had a Middle Pillar crystal healing with Naha of 22 Teachings yesterday and it was transformative to say the least. I am going through really big life changes and was carrying a lot of self-proposed expectations of myself. The healing with her was exactly what I needed. I felt like I was in extremely professional hands the entire time. I was able to relax, sync in, and experience the transformation and healing happening in real time. I left feeling truly free, so much lighter, and I still am seeing shifts taking place within me the next day. Thank you Naha for this!”

“My family and my boy love this preschool. My son was a very shy and timid 4 yo boy when entering Little Sunshine a year ago (we kept him at home before that due to COVID). He was so shy and even afraid dealing with toddlers younger than himself at that time. Only after a few months, we saw tremedous changes in him, slowly he has turned into a confident and independent young boy. The teachers are very loving and caring, and yet are very firm when teaching the kids to obey rules. There were two events i remembered vividly, one was during the 2nd week my boy was crying non-stop (he was struggling to adapt to new environment), and teacher Vivian successfully helped him to transition himself to be ready in just a few days by showing him that he was no longer the younger boys that yell and cry like toddler because he can already use his words. Another event was my boy acccidently peed in his pant, and he wasn't ashamed or upset about it when i picked him up after school. This was surprising as he is a very sensitive boy. I believe this had to do with how the teachers have dealt with this incident, i.e. teachers must have been using very tender and kind words and ways rather than rebuking him. I think all the teachers are very loving, emphatehetic, patient and encouraging. The communication with class teacher and admin is excellent, and the pictures posted daily keep me informed (and entertained) of my son's progress and learning. The Mandarin and Spanich lessons are certainly bonus. My son comes home with big small smile on his face and also has been more well behaved and definitely more sociable since attending the preschool. I'm very happy with our decision to send my son to this place, and i could'nt asked for more.”

“safe fun spot, where you can be colorful, be yourself, be accepted. seriously stellar folk. respectable, kind, considerate. supportive of community. really big world views. really gentle about teaching people how to help others. woke. y'all woke.”

“Highly recommended! Eagles Nest Preschool and Staff provided exceptional infant/toddler and preschool developmental care for my son for 4-5 years! Their preschool curriculum achieved academic readiness and a smooth transition into Kindergarten! We adore them and miss the center and staff very much!”

“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!”

“This is one special school. All parents are connected and all work together. The teachers are out of this world and the teaching is amazing. Hands on all over the board. Constant communication and lots of respect. Love love the school.”

“Hello, it was easy for me to find pre school academy for my daughter because they provided me with everything quickly thanks to all the teachers. My daughter learned very quickly. I am very grateful to all of them. I recommend them to other parents....”

“AEP is an excellent preschool. I am fortunate to have had my child enroll here through a friend's recommendation. My child enjoys school life every day. The teachers are all very professional and capable of guiding the children's emotional development, as well as their social and communication skills. During the pandemic, the school has adhered to strict policies that prioritize transparency and the protection of children, ensuring their safety and well-being while learning. Recently, my child started kindergarten, and the assessments in various areas, including language, indicate that my child is well-prepared for the next stage of school life. I am grateful to AEP for equipping my child with all the necessary skills, enabling them to face each day with confidence. Thank you to the teachers and the school's team!”

“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.”

“This is a great place for kids.my son come here around 1year.every day is happy,he love to go to school.teacher are all so nice,my son loves Amy teacher.he learn a lot here.and I thing has one thing is great,I can see my son all the time in the school from the camera.”

“This daycare is absolutely amazing. The The owner and staff are transparent, open door policy, streamline communication via parents and staff with their app, their service is higher quality than many other daycares that charge double the tuition( speaking from straight experience), and they take parents feedback pretty seriously, I've witnessed them constantly updating and upgrading their business based on our feedback.

I would say that it's an undervalued daycare in the area and a lot of people probably judge it or don't even consider it because of its location. However, it's a little hidden gem you're missing out on. The only thing I wish was they took infants, they are currently licensed for 2+.”

“I want to thank all the teachers and staff at Rancho Los Amigos Kindercare for helping us take care of our baby boy for the past 4 months. Each day is getting easier as a parent with the care and support that we receive for our boy at Rancho Los Amigos Kindercare. As first time parents it has been a journey as we learn and adapt to the new lives we live as parents. With Kindercare taking care of our son, I feel confident that we can excel in our lives as parents but also in our professional careers. I see the attention and care that the teachers provide to our baby boy and it makes us feel more at ease.

Some quick notes of the things that we enjoy:
-The facility is well kept and cleaned often.
-All the teachers and staff are nice and talk very nicely to all the children.
-They are open early at 6:30am
-The app is great for staying up to date on everything that is going on in real time regarding diaper changes, feeding time, nap times, etc
-We love when we get a picture of the fun activities that our son is doing while in their care. Especially when they are learning something new.
-They have special events for the kids that parents can attend and we really enjoyed that. Example} easter egg hunt.

The list goes on.

We highly recommend Rancho Los Amigos Kindercare for the safe, caring and mentally stimulating environment that they create. We are looking forward to the years to come and all the new milestones our boy will achieve with all their help.

From the Villalobos family, Thank you.”
