“I have both my children at La habra heights preschool and both my sister’s children have also went through LHHPS. We have both had the most amazing experience! The teachers really do love their job and care for the students. My kids have both really thrived. I started them both as infants and my oldest is now in the preschool. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun, loving, nurturing, safe environment for your littles!”

“Both my kids attend Arborland and I am so happy with the school because my children are happy. My youngest went through the Toddler and Primary program and my oldest is in the Lower Elementary with Ms Cynthia (both with the same Primary teacher, Ms Salzman). Arborland (Valencia) campus reminds me of a small village. It's more casual and folksy, and each day you will encounter the same team of teachers, administrators, aides, etc who work together to make each day fulfilling and special for the kids. On hot days, my kids might be enjoying an Otter Pop after school, or sitting in the shade with friends sipping on their water bottles after being reminded by a teacher. My kids feel loved and are known by name, by all Arborland staff, regardless of whether my kids are actually in their class. On tough days, my kids receive caring admonishment and there is always a good intent or message that comes from a place of concern or previous experience with my kids (because every kid is different). The school doesn't feel cold ... it is a bit more casual as a result, so you should balance expectations for cold, ruthless efficiency with compassion, warmth and sincerity (Ms Linda who runs the front office and wears multiple hats). Academics are more than fine, and I have found that in keeping with the Montessori way, every child excels here or has multiple pathways to excel on their terms/comfort level. Most of the parents are sincere as well and that sincerity rubs off on their classmates. Dr. Chen (the headmaster) and Ms. Veronica are familiar faces at school too and are very hands-on with any challenges that face the school (a great job handling the pandemic given so many competing/conflicting ideas on how best to handle a lose-lose situation!)”

“Two of my kids came to this preschool prior to pandemic and after everything opened up again. This school has been very cautious with masking and keeping everything sanitized which is so important when it comes to small children. My kids love all the teachers here because they are very attentive and you can tell that they really enjoy what they do. The playground area is shaded and is big and spacious. The added bonus is that they also help with potty training.”

“They have helped raise our two kids into amazing little humans. You know your kids are in a caring and healthy environment when they can't stop talking about their day, the stuff they learned, and their amazing teachers. Everyone really cares about the kids as if they were their own. We are eternally grateful!”

“Very nice teachers. Staff and director. The teacher trained my daughter how to pee in the toilet. But I just feel the school is too basic. Only worksheet with abc 123. No hands-on learning. My daughter needs more curriculum.They got a big yard and playground. Everyone was so nice there I highly recommend :)”

“Concordia School is a remarkable place to send children aged 2 to 5. Since my son joined the preschool program, we have been amazed by how his teachers embraced him with love and care, helping him become fluent in English and creative and social.Every morning, the teachers welcome students and families with smiles and ask how we are doing to express genuine interest in our well-being. Also, the teachers are open to discussing a child's worries or concerns and informing parents of any incidents or developments involving the child.Moreover, Concordia's outstanding curriculum prepares children to be ready for elementary school. We noticed that our son learns similarly to our daughter's kindergarten time. At the end of the year, the teachers designed each child's portfolio to showcase the child's progress and achievements.We are very grateful to send our son to Concordia before he turns kindergarten. We are looking forward to the summer programs and the following year! Hope my review helps parents decide to send their children to Concordia!”

“Our son has a few special needs and we have always felt welcomed and he loves this school. From the first time we toured this school we felt the difference and he loves coming to school every day. We even tried to put him into a regular TK class but decided it was better to bring him here where the class size was smaller and he was happiest. thank you for taking great care of our boy.”

“This is a great school! Out son has been going there since for about 3 months now. The classes are small and the immersion is great. The principal is a french native and the teachers speak french from various regions of the world that speak french! I am so glad to have been able to find a french immersion school close enough to bring my little one.The staff is caring and the little community is great! Other useful info: students need to bring their own lunches, no microwaving or such. There is one hot lunch provided by the school once a week. Kids bring their own sleepsack for nap time. School hours from 8am-4pm with a 15 min window. There are some random staff development days when students end up not having school.”

“While we were searching for a child care center for our infant son, we received recommendations for Lamb of God Child Care Centers from a few parents and a teacher at the local elementary school. We toured four different centers in person, but LOGCCC was by far the most welcoming. It felt like home.We do not know where the teachers find the energy or creativity to keep the little ones engaged, but they do, and they do it well. They dance, do artwork and read, among many other projects. Our son is young but strong-willed. The amount of patience and love that is provided to him by each of his teachers is truly appreciated. He has grown and learned so much from being at the center. It is very comforting to know that our son is in good hands, and we have the entire staff at LOGCCC to thank for that.”

“As first time parents, it was very hard when it came time for us to leave our daughter at daycare when we went back to work. We had been with her every day since she was born, and now we were going to leave her with strangers. We were initially drawn to Childtime of Orange by the lovely residential campus in the hills with lots of nice nature space and the fact that all the rooms were setup with webcams which would allow us to check in and see how our daughter’s day was going in real time. As new parents, this was very reassuring.What came to be much more important than this, however, was the care and attention that our daughter received from her teachers. We were so grateful to see the interest they take in each child. They were very willing to help us figure out a routine that worked for our daughter when she was having difficulty napping at daycare, and they were always monitoring her individual progress to keep us up to speed on her development. I am so impressed with and deeply appreciative for the compassion and patience that the teachers show toward the children every day. It’s a relatively small community. The director is wonderful and personally knows all the families, and most of the teachers know the names of most of the children (even those who aren’t in their class). We never worry about our daughter when she is at Childtime. We know that she is being well cared for, and we always look forward to seeing what new things she learned that day. Choosing to send our daughter to Childtime of Orange was one of the best decisions we made for our family.”

“We cannot speak highly enough about the incredible experience my children have had at Future Minds Montessori. The first thing that struck me was the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The team at this school is genuinely passionate about what they do, and it shows in their interactions with both children and parents. Every teacher and staff member exudes patience, kindness, and a genuine love for guiding children through their early educational journey.The Montessori approach is brilliantly executed here. Our family wholeheartedly recommends Future Minds Montessori to any parent seeking a remarkable early education experience for their child. My children's growth and development at this school have exceeded our expectations, and we are truly grateful for the positive impact it has had on our family. Keep up the amazing work!”

“Our daughter has been attending for a few months now and she loves her teacher. Even when doing school tours, Dream-I was the school that she was excited about. We are happy that we chose Dream-I and we love to see that she is learning and thriving.”

“Dream-I is an amazing school. From outstanding staff and teachers to their educational yet fun program, we are glad and feel lucky we have found this place. We've searched and visited many different prospective preschools closer to our home but chose to drive the extra distance just to have our child attend this school. As a parent, we are cautious and full of questions when it comes to our children. The director, along with staff here, are sincerely nice and patient and makes sure all of your questions are answered so you can rest assured. Most importantly, our child learned so much from here and continues to do so. Dream-I is very attentive to each and every student and is informative of their daily progress which we appreciate very much. If you are in search of finding a preschool, at the very least consider this school. You won't regret it. Our child genuinely loves and enjoys going to Dream-I everyday.”

“We feel so fortunate to have found Pani! We were new to the area and looking for the right place for our daughter. Being working parents, our daughter's safety and well-being is our top priority. Since day 1, my daughter has LOVED going to Pani's place and LOVES Pani. She has so much fun throughout the day with her friends and in a loving, caring environment. Pani is extremely organized, warm and friendly and we know she loves what she does. Her home is beautiful, clean and kids spend a good amount outdoors, eating healthy meals and snacks, as well as learning. My daughter knows her abcs and numbers because of Pani and has blossomed under her care. She sends us pictures throughout the day, so we always know what our daughter is up to and they bring us joy every time we get them. We're grateful and recommend Pani full heartedly!”

“This facility is still 5 stars for me. Both of my kids attend and it has been nearly 6 years. The Director, Ms Becky has maintained such a warm and loving atmosphere. The times when there have been issues at school I have always felt listened to, like the staff truly cares and wants to partner with me to help solve things and make sure my child is supported. There have been too many wonderful teachers to name all of them but a few are: Ms Stephanie, Ms Elizabeth, Ms Bri, Ms Lisa, Ms Kayla, and Ms Izzy. We love Childtime!”

“Picking a center for your child is terrifying, but choosing Covina KinderCare for our daughter has been one of the best decisions my husband and I have made. I was expecting more of a daycare, but instead I am so pleased with my daughter's progress academically. She started in Discovery Pre-School with Ms. Monica and Ms. Sandy and is now in Pre-School with Ms. Rani, Ms. Sessaly and Ms. Vanessa. Since she has started KinderCare, she knows all her colors, shapes, alphabets names and sounds, how to write her name(at age 3!!), her seasons, months, days and I could honestly go on! She talks so much and some of her vocabulary is astonishing! I am shocked some of the words she knows. Besides academics, this KinderCare is a family. I feel welcomed each time I walk in and have amazing conversations with all of the staff members. I know my daughter is well taken care of when I drop her off. This is one of the main reasons why we choose this KinderCare. Right away from the tour we could tell how much love is in the center, and that is what is most important to us. The communication is also open with the teachers and center directors and I can ask them anything when I picked her up. That is important because I feel like we are a team working together to do what is best for my daughter. We also receive updates and pictures throughout the day of my daughter's activities. I am sad my eldest daughter's time at KinderCare is coming to an end since she will be starting public school next August. But I am very eager for my youngest to start at KinderCare very soon!I couldn't be more grateful to this center and all of the staff members who have created this beautiful family that we belong to.”

“My daughter attended Towne and Country for about 4 months before she transitioned to a more traditional preschool. Towne and Country came highly recommended. What I liked most was the great supervision, locked/secure facility and small class sizes. She was 2 and turned 3 while she was enrolled. Her teachers were kind, professional and patient. My daughter enjoyed attending and I am happy we made the decision to enroll.”

“My daughter attended bright star for 3 yrs and when I had my son I had to make sure he attended as well. They both attended bright start for about 3 yrs each and I always highly recommend them to others.”

“We love Pine Tree! All of the teachers are amazing and so is the admin. We had our son at another school and found it wasn't as "Montessori" as it claimed. We love this school because because they really follow Montessori ways and even incorporate a garden for learning. They send us daily pictures and updates. My son literally asks for his teachers and school all the time. It's the best feeling to know he is having fun and learning. Lately he says things and I'm just in awe of how he knows certain things. This is truly a top school and place for our children to grow, have fun and learn. We truly love it!”

“The jr high and elementary department of Fairmont is excellent! I cannot say enough great things about it. The jr high (and elementary) I feel, cares genuinely about their students and offers so much opportunities for them. We thoroughly enjoyed, and still rave, about this campus to everyone we know. Thank you HAC for being a foundation for my child, and all children, to thrive in. We really hope the high school follows your expectations”

“Both of my daughters absolutely love going to Village Preschool Academy. They are always so excited when we tell them they're going to school the next day. The teachers here are truly wonderful, and it is easy to see how much they care about your children. We have witnessed our children grow so much academically and socially, and truly appreciate all the extra activities and amenities afforded to the children like soccer and dance classes, the wonderful playground, the cozy outdoor music area, the adorable holiday program, and the fun end-of-year ceremony. The classrooms and grounds are always greatly maintained, and the school is open until 6pm, which is great for working parents.”

“It's a great school and have fun events there! I have been going there for the past 8 years and I am making so many memories that I will remember for the rest of my life! Go Eagles!”

“We are so lucky to have found SOTV -- we have made lifelong friends with parents at this school and are so amazed at how much everyone cares about all the kids (and how much the kids care about each other!). When our daughter started at the school at age 2, we recall older students in the 3-4 year old class take care of her - they would help her wash her hands, help her get her mat out for nap, and give her hugs when she was sad. Now that our daughter is 4, she constantly talks to me about how important it is for her to help care for the younger kids. These are the values that the school emphasizes - love and kindness. Thank you so much to Miss Sukie, Mr Gregg and all the other teachers at SOTV!”

“If it wasn't for us moving my son would be here no doubt. The office were friendly and was sad to see us go from such a great school.. Love his TK teacher Ms. Aguayo, she was an excellent teacher from the beginning till the time we were there. I honestly didn't have no complain with her what so ever. They way she cared, shared, and understand each and everyone of her students was beyond my expectations. Not only to the students by with the parents as well, I would see how she will talk to the parents and express her concerns or how proud she was with the students.. if they told me Ms. Aguayo will be my sons teacher for every school year I will beyond thrilled.. thank you Ms. Aguayo for taking good care of my son and for being an awesome teacher.”

“It's just the beginning for my son, as a mother, I am pleased with the way Mrs. Kimberley has welcomed us with open arms, She is the reason I have started my son in earlyhead start, if it wasn't for her, I would still be in my search as I am a hard person to please especially when it comes to my baby boy my one and only, I want him in the best hands if he isn't with me, From the Daily Schedule with activities, naptimes, potty times, breakfast and lunch, snack times, I have a good feeling this will be a good experience for my son, and I would highly recommend, I will update if I feel otherwise! As of now I am a happy mom, with a place I feel is a safe environment for my son! Thank you Mrs Kimberley, Ms. Ilene, and your team!”

“BOI this is my last year at the school, I'm gonna miss everybody, especially the teachers. The school is terrific and the teachers are the chill type of teachers, they always secretly put fun into your lesson. Love the school, but not really sure about the food.HI MISS MOSS, MISS BUSTINZA, MISTER COHEN, MISTER PAYNE and many more!!!”

“Prior to selecting a pre-school, I toured many in the area. La Habra Heritage was what I felt was best, in terms of location, staff and cost. My daughter had attended from 6 mos to 5 years, and I could not be happier with our experience there. Highly recommend this facility and it's amazing staff. We've graduated to kindergarten so sadly have outgrown La Habra Heritage, but we'll be forever grateful to everyone here we've met along the way!”

“After coming across a disheartening review from another parent regarding one of my children's beloved teachers, I want to share my positive experience. Both of my kids are in Ms. Villaruel and Mr. Smith's class and they absolutely love going to school. Thanks to their efforts and Arborland's remarkable curriculum, my kids have made significant progress and grown both academically and personally. Ms. Villaruel and Mr. Smith both do a great job at creating a nurturing and supportive environment such that my kids adore school - in fact they are so sad the year is coming to an end! I'd also like to acknowledge my daughter's teachers from last year, Ms. Currey and Ms. Jardon - they were amazing and played a pivotal role in nurturing my daughter's confidence and academic progress.This is now our third year at Arborland and we are so happy with the amazing and dedicated teachers and staff!”

“I was a Kindercare kid -- my mom worked for them most of my childhood so I quite literally grew up there. So when it was time for me to go back to work & the kids to go to daycare, I knew I wanted them there. We looked at all of the local centers, & chose this one over KC's that are closer to us because of the staff and the attention to detail that they obviously put into creating and maintaining an environment that is safe & welcoming & healthy for the kids & families. My kids have grown so much, physically and emotionally, and advanced educationally more than we even expected. Jenn, Stacey, & the staff have been incredible, helping us deal with unexpected hurdles with each of our kiddos, accommodating what I'm sure were sometimes odd requests, and helping us find solutions that were right for our kids & family. Jenn and Stacey are always available when we have questions or concerns, & anytime there has been a concern, it's been addressed & resolved quickly. And if something is concerning to them, it's communicated immediately and we deal with it ASAP...no surprises at pick up. The genuine care they have for other people's kids is awesome, & we could not ask for a better group of people taking care of our babies when they can't be with us. Ms. Shanna is fantastic with the learning adventures that have had a huge impact on our kids in all the best ways. Miss Mollie is always so warm & welcoming, even though she hasn't had one of our kids in class for over 2 years. Miss Tanya & Miss Maria make every day exciting for our 4 year old. Ms. Naira is still one of my daughter's favorite teachers ever, and she loves to go give her a big hug and check in with her at the end of the day. Are there less expensive options? Of course. But you get what you pay for, and we wouldn't trade what we have with the Imperial Rose team for anything. They're stuck with us for the long term.”
