Attached is the conversation I had with the director after touring. It wasn't the right fit; I thought this would be helpful for anyone else considering placing their child there.

I would highly recommend MKLA for your children education! I had enrolled my daughter at 15 months of age and she just graduated preschool recently! All the teachers are dedicated educators who put 100% effort into teaching and nurturing the children. I’ll be enrolling my 6 month old soon enough and know that he is in the best of hands! Thank you, Lalita for stewarding such a fantastic team and center!

As a Doctor of Education (EdD), I highly recommend MKLA to anyone seeking a high quality day care experience for their child in the Redlands area. We enrolled our son at 5 months and have been continually impressed with the professionalism and care shown to our family. The staff's expertise in early childhood education is exceptional and the consideration they show for our son's growth and development warms my heart. The smile on our son's face when we drop him off and pick him up is a constant reminder we made the right choice for daycare.

MKLA is absolutely amazing and would highly recommend to all the parents out there! I had my daughter attend at 15 months old and she's writing her name at a very young age-- complete dedication and amazing group of educators teach the children daily! Lalita is very organized and invests in each of the children that attend MKLA! She's the best Director and look forward to my 6 month old to be under her wing as well!

MKLA is awesome! I am very satisfied with the quality of care and the cleanliness of this facility. Over the course of two years my two boys developed great confidence, independence , and academic skills!The staff here is warm, friendly and patient. They all do an amazing job at facilitating childrens learning and self help skills. I am very pleased with the care and love my sons received while attending this center. We will miss MKLA!

We had such a wonderful experience at MKLA!! Lalita is extremely thorough and attentive, and for this reason, I always felt totally comfortable that my daughter was in a safe environment. All of the teachers we interacted with were so kind and nurturing, and my daughter absolutely loved it. If you are looking for child care in the Redlands/Yucaipa area, you will love MKLA!

I could not have found a better option for my son than MKLA. The structure and the staff were such a blessing in his development and experience. He was always in a great mood when I picked him up :) I especially appreciated the attention to detail and accountability because it made me trust that things were being handled and cared about with intention and integrity. Highly recommend!

We brought our child here because we have worked with the Bakshi’s at their other location. The program is different as it follows the Montessori path. Our child enjoyed the different structure of the program. The teachers are wonderful and Mrs Bakshi is very attentive and protective of the children. It is a safe and clean environment. They use an app for updates, messages, and pictures. We were very happy with our child’s experience

When I first lost my nanny I needed someone to take care of my two and a half year old daughter, I started looking at all the local daycares and schools surrounding Loma Linda and Redlands area. I enrolled her in one of the more popular larger schools in Loma Linda and shortly before starting, I went for a tour and wasn't happy with what I saw. Frantically I searched for more options and called mkla - Miss Lalita was able to schedule a tour and meeting with us that same day. From the first visit, I felt comfortable knowing that my child would be in a safe and clean environment with caring teachers and a good balance of work and play. Most importantly, my husband and my schedule were very rigid, and my child needed to be dropped off as early as 6:30 a.m. and picked up after 4:30 on most days. MKLA accommodated our schedule while most of the local schools did not offer this option. After my eldest was there for a year and a half, I enrolled my 6-month-old as well. It was an extremely enriching environment. I felt like I was updated with the most important things throughout the day via the brightwheel app and I would love to get surprise pictures of their activities on the daily. We recently moved away and had to take the kids out with a heavy heart and many tears on both ends. We will miss MKLA and the entire staff!

We came across MKLA after searching for daycare shortly after our daughter was born. After reviewing multiple options, we decided to go with MKLA. MKLA was the most expensive option, however, we believe that we are getting what we paid for. The environment at MKLA was the cleanest and most kept up out of the daycares we visited. They post their stringent cleaning policies, the cleaners used, and the company who maintains it for view. They monitor our daughters health and happiness daily and the teacher will keep us up to date with anything out of the ordinary as well as normal daily reports.Of course we want to believe our child is brilliant - and she is. However, we don't think her brilliance would shine as much if it weren't for the nurturing and caring staff at MKLA. They really help build good behaviors and we see those behaviors at home as well.Thank you MKLA for caring for our child!

As first time parents, we wanted the absolute best for our baby. We had been to a home daycare prior and he always seemed to get sick. We decided to switch to Kids Land Academy and it was more than we ever anticipated. Lalita (the owner) is extremely responsible, communicative, and caring. Her and the staff care for our child with respect, and attention.Ms. Sarah, Bena and Angela are incredible teachers and people! I love how they clearly have a passion for children.At the last daycare my child had a consistent diaper rash, here, he hasn’t had one. They care so much for him and are so observant.As a working Mom, I struggle to drop him off everyday thinking am I doing the right thing? But when I see how happy he is to go to school, I know we made the right decision. All of the other children are so polite and kind... he is learning so much and surrounded by so much love I couldn’t ask for anything more.During Covid I was extremely nervous and scared, but each staff member wears a mask, they professionally clean all the toys and it always feels super sanitary.They also have this amazing app! I can see when he’s had a diaper change, when he ate, how long he napped for and I get a daily photo of him playing. It is the highlight of my day and I love feeling connected to him that way.I also like how safe it feels. Truly grateful for the care they provide!
