“We're so happy to have found Die Rasselbande! Our daughter started here when she was 2 years old and attended for 4 years - she is now at Albert Einstein Academy. Our son is currently in his 3rd year and loves school. I can't say enough about what a nurturing environment the director, Martina, and the teachers create. The director and all the teachers are native German speakers and it is an immersion school, but they also are fluent in English and it's easy for parents and non-German-speaking kids first starting out to communicate with them. German is my second language and I've been trying to teach our kids the language at home so I'm grateful that they can hear native speakers, and bonus, I also get to practice my German in this new community. The teachers constantly amaze us with their endless energy, enthusiasm, and how much they cared about their students. The teaching philosophy at the school is play-based, as is common in Germany/Europe and becoming popular here. Our son is the happiest when he comes home with grass stains or Matsch from playing all day in the mud kitchen. The teachers really treat all children with respect and interact with them at their developmental stage. We receive weekly emails with updates on what they're teaching the kids, what songs they are learning, and pictures. Parent involvement is welcomed, and this school truly creates a community, from playdates, carpooling, last-minute child care, camping, and continued friendships at Albert Einstein Academy. Our daughter often says she misses Die Rasselbande and the nice thing is that alumni are always invited to school events and kept in the loop. Martina runs an efficient school and facilitates Parent Teas after drop-off, Parent Nights to get to know the school, and educational evening sessions for parents. She is often seen in the classrooms helping out and getting to know all the students. Some of the things that I love the most are the fun cultural events like St. Martin's Day/Lantern Walk, Halloween/Trunk or Treat, St Nikolaus Day, Karneval, and Mayfest. Die Rasselbande is everything we could have hoped for from an engaging and educational preschool!”

“I am a USArmy soldier that arrived California 2 years ago. I have a kid with autism and most of the daycares stated that they could not provide care to my child because he was making to other kids scared. Jamacha Rd. Kindercare was the only one that took the challenge and prove the other center wrong. Ms. Bertha started with Carter (my son) which other than having autism was non verbal. Couple months pass and my kid was able to start communicating with us like pointing and mumbling words. With assistance of speech therapy my kid now is able to communicate. If it wasnt by that first innitiative that the center placed it could have been a different scenario today. I had 4 children assisting the daycare with the age of months, 2, 5 and 7. This center provided basic education for the kids and love for the most part. They were always excited to go to daycare and it was shown by the appreciation they had for the teacher and staff. The only reason we move was because of military orders. My kids miss the teachers and the staff and so my wife and my self. This center provide high level of care for the kids and it's highly recommended to military folks and civilians! Our family is in deep appreciation with you guys!”

“It's so hard to come to peace with leaving your children with what begins as a stranger, but sometimes you get that feeling that the energy is good and someone can be trusted with your most precious asset, your child. Baby Boop Daycare, led by Lupita, is a truly exceptional haven for your little ones. Lupita's genuine love and care create a nurturing environment where each child is made to feel special. Her dedication extends to celebrating birthdays and even Christmas, ensuring every child has a cherished experience. My son has now moved onto kindergarten but he still asks me if he can go visit "pita". She made an impact on him, and he remembers that. I highly recommend Baby Boop to any parent seeking a loving home for their child.”

“This is a gem of a preschool. Our child started attending this great little preschool a couple months ago. It's fun to watch how much our kiddo is growing. At 2 we are already hearing the alphabet, days of the week, colors, counting, and talking about the fun days with classmates. The classrooms are clean and organized. Not only have the teachers been welcoming, but so have the other kids. At open house, we had a great time watching the excitement our kiddo had for each corner of this school.”

“These 5 stars are for Ms. Kathy & Ms. Rafah in the Owl classroom. I couldn't have trusted anyone else to love, care for, and teach my daughter. She attended for a year and is all ready for Kindergarten. She can spell her name and knows her numbers 1-40. As well as many other things. These teachers were a joy to see everyday. Their job is not easy but they make their best effort. I am happy with the care that was provided and they will be missed!”

“All three of my grandchildren have attended this school for childcare, preschool, and Pre-K. They are a wonderful facility that nurtures your child. My grandchildren are all graduated from high school now and I believe starting out at Dayspring helped to give them a wonderful start to education. Hi Miss Kelly!”

“I went to St. Kieran from Kinder to 8th grade and had a wonderful time. I made lots of friends who I'm still friends with today. The teachers are probably one of the best things. They are kind helpful and most of all loving. If any parent is thinking about having their kid go to St. Kieran, I 100% recommend it.”

“This school gets a bad wrap because of lower test. There is a pretty high number of kids who start here not knowing very much if not any English, so the teachers have a harder time teaching at times. The teachers and staff there are amazing and do everything they can to educate every student. Just like in every school there are some students who have clashing personalities and fights happen, but the principal, VP, councillor and teachers do a great job dealing with situations as they arise.”

“My daughter had the BEST 4 year old teacher! Ms. Zahra really cares about the children's learning and overall development. She was always warm, happily engaged with the children, and took every opportunity to teach them real life skills. Ms. Zahra is very approachable, easy to talk to, and partners with you as a parent to support your child. I have the utmost respect for her. My daughter knows how to write her name, count, recognizes letters, and even knows how to read. She is ready to enter Kindergarten. Ms Zahra is AMAZING! She truly cares for the children and it shows everyday as she provides quality care and education.”

“I just wanted to update my review and comment on some issues I noticed another person post. My children were at the facility during the time the reviewer is speaking about. While it's true the center went through some staff changes, they weren't solely in one room. We were concerned about the amount of changes initially but ultimately, if someone isn't working out or a quality employee, I'm glad they left. I only want the best teachers/people working with and watching my children. All of the long term teachers are amazing that we've encountered (Wafaa, Lisa, Zainab) and we hope many others stay (Joanna, Jenn). Our three year old has THRIVED here learning ABCs, numbers, colors, tracing, and even potty training (Ms. Nadia we still miss you!) If we ever have an issue (which is rare), we bring it to the staff's attention and it's fixed. Licensing has also contacted me regarding some complaints but 1) many are unfounded and 2) some are individual issues that should have been addressed with the staff instead of anonymously reporting. Overall we are still happy with RSG. They have a number of fun activities throughout the year that allow parent participation and provide a well rounded learning/play environment.”

“I enrolled my daughter at the Lakeside location when she was 3 months old. The staff has been wonderful with her, and she is not the easiest baby to deal with. I also love that they use an app. It's so easy to message staff and for them to message me, plus the updates and pictures are nice to see. We have enjoyed our time at this facility.”
