“This review is long overdue! Our older daughter spent a year and half (started midway) at Lil Cottonwood Preschool. She LOVED it! She was excited to get to class everyday. We saw a growth in her social and interpersonal skills and we feel that this helped prepare her really well for TK. We are looking forward to sending our younger daughter to Lil Cottonwood next year! She's excited too! She saw all the fun things her sister was doing and hasn't stopped talking about going to school soon! It's such a warm loving environment...you won't regret sending your kids here!”

“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!”

“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 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.”

“We are so happy our 2-year-old daughter attends KinderCare in Downey. The teachers and admin team are so professional and friendly, and they have a very well-thought out curriculum. My daughter is learning something new every day, and I have seen her blossom in just the few weeks that she has attended. 100% recommended!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Mrs Adly is truly the best teacher you could trust to care for your child, and she really invests all of her heart and energy into each of her students. Although we had some bumps with our son's first toddler teacher, he transitioned to Mrs Adly's class and she brought out the best in him. He found confidence and independence through her methods, and we saw quick changes with his negative behaviors. We ultimately decided not to keep our son in LePort's program for the preschool years due to not feeling like it was the best setting for him moving forward, but I would still give 5 stars just for Mrs. Adly's and Mrs Water's hard work and dedication in helping our son thrive. Thank you guys for what you do.”

“Amazing non religious private school, preschool through 8th. Academic focused, no frills, test scores show. Old school curriculum that works. Small classes 10-13 per class. Very traditional and community based. Uniforms required all ages. Staff are long tenured for most grades, great with communication and really love our girls and what they do. Price point is great. Lots of add on choices. We are very pleased we locked into this school. No thank you oversized public.”

“LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Wave Preschool. I like the small class size and all staffs are nice. My kid loves to go to school and like all the activities they had done in school. Highly Recommend!!”

“We absolutely love Bayshore Co-Op and recommend it to anyone looking for a parent participation school. The location is beautiful, the little ones get lots of outdoor play & Ms. Cori is wonderful with children. Our son was very hesitant to start preschool and Ms. Cori was so gracious with him, helping him find activities that he liked and made him feel at home. I am so grateful for this little school by the beach.”

“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!!!”

“A little over a year ago we purchased our family home in West Garden Grove. Simultaneously we were in need of a full time daycare for our 23 month old daughter and we happened upon Teachable Moments. During our initial tour we really felt welcomed by Miss Sheena and Miss Amy. We liked the small, intimate home daycare vibes that we got during our first visit. It fit our needs as our daughter was transitioning from being home with her grandparents. The pricing was reasonable, it was only a couple miles away from home and they were willing to accommodate our daughter's food allergies. We have been at Teachable Moments for over a year now and I couldn't be happier that we decided to enroll our daughter here. Her language skills have improved immensely, she is learning to read and write, and has developed so many gross/fine motor skills. Most importantly she is enjoying school. She is socializing and learning to work with her peers, which is so wonderful to see at her age (as she was an isolated Covid baby for so long). Our daughter loves her teachers. They are nurturing, caring, and facilitate growth and learning. They take the time to sit with the students and focus on their individual needs. Miss Amy and Miss Sheena have worked together for years and continue to do so. They are so committed to their students and you can tell they truly love what they do.”

“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.”

“I went here from 1972 until 1981, from preschool to after school care. My 4 daughters went here as well as my nephews from 1984 to 1990 and from 1996 to 2008. I have such fond memories of all the teachers. I love them. The Ahrens family has created a safe environment. My children are all very successful and excelled in academics which I attribute to their time spent here in this loving but disciplined preschool. I only wish I lived closer so my grandchildren could get the same wonderful experience. I highly recommend this preschool. It is honestly the best in the area!! Hi Ms. Nancy!! And yes she’s the same preschool teacher I had!!”

“The best school we've ever been! The teachers very friendly, amazing place, my daughter was been in this school since 2021 until 2023 and we have only positive emotions! Thank you for everything!”

“This is an amazing school. The staff here go above and beyond their work scope. They are ALL very loving and caring with all kids. My grandson is now going to first grade he’s excited yet says but I’m going to miss my teachers. He has come a long way and all thanks to the hard work of Ms. Maria, Ma Cecil, Ma. Sandy and the wonderful director Ms. Karin.Thank you all for the wonderful memories that will always be in my Grandson’s heart and mine. Highly recommend this preschool to any parent who is looking for a safe and loving environment. We will miss you all.”

“Town & Country Preschool in Westminster is a gem! Coming from an educational background, I've been very intentional about the environment I'd want my child to be in. I didn't want to expose my toddler to screens and technology just yet and preferred for her to be outdoors, which was perfect that Town & Country had a little farm attached to it.Town & Country Preschool was perfect because it provided STEM education in a space fostering socio-emotional learning and student confidence. In just a matter of months, I saw my child elevate her language skills and critical thinking abilities. Despite being a little shy, she came home raving about her teachers, singing new songs, sharing the activities during the day, and the friends she played with in school. The social skills developed were noticeable right away. Additionally, I credit my child's school for helping her become potty-trained before the age of three.I've been sending my child to Town and Country for the summer months for over two years now and appreciate the genuine care her teachers pour into every student. It's clear to me that her teachers--Ms. Rose, Ms. Kris, Ms. Laura, and Ms. Loretta--all love their work.”

“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.”

“I have twin boys that have been attending Sunny Day for the past 2 years and I can honestly say that my kids have leaned so much here. They actually enjoy going to school each day and spending time with their teachers and friends. The whole staff is really great and makes me feel good about my choice in schools for my rambunctious twins.”

“school parents show how much they care for the scholars. Today, they celebrated "children's day " /Dia de niño April 2023, free goodies to all school wide staff and children. They always have a blast with any events held by the parents”

“Both my baby girls been in this school even b4 this new school now only my lil is still here means my wife natty love n appreciate everything they do we think is an asome school w greater teachers”

“I love this school my daughter has been here since she was three and is now in the 4 th grade my husbands whole family attend this school and have great memories with all their cool teachers”

“I want to take few minutes of this day to give thanks to the amazing daycare team of OC Kids Preschool and Kindergarten. That has been there for me and my daughter since day 1, when she started in the 2 year old class. And is currently in school age class. The programs they have such as the STEAM is amazing.As a parent my number one priority was to be able to find a safe place where I would be able to leave my child under the care of reliable people. For those parents that are looking for a reliable daycare I highly recommend getting a tour of the facility you will not regret it. The amazing life, social, and educational skill your child will receive is priceless.”

“St. Linus has been a home away from home for my kids. I couldn't think of a better school for my kids. My kids have attended St. Linus since TK and we have loved it. St. Linus is the only place I can trust that my children will be shown the right path in life. The current principal, who has been the principal for several years, is wonderful, caring, understanding of everyone's needs and is a great leader. Communication with parents is excellent, emails to the parents from the principal and office administration help to get everyone involved and engaged in the activities. The kids participate in mass weekly and are comfortable with public speaking in front of the church and classroom. The families also share a strong bond and family involvement is encouraged. I am forever grateful to be part of the St. Linus family.”

“Great church nice people. Excellent for weddings! Absolutely beautiful Sanctuary with wonderful stained glass depicting scenes from the Bible. The preschool is there for the little ones during the week. I hear great things about it. There are plans to move the Church of Reflections there. Once that happens, the church will become a great destination for tourists and locals alike!”

“My son absolutely loves it here! So happy we found this place thanks to my cousin. Such a clean facility, teachers and support staff are all so nice and helpful no matter what time you come. Highly recommend!”

“I've always heard great things about PLAVAN and the entire Fountain Valley School District. All of the positive reviews are absolutely true. Plavan does have some of the finest educators in the country. The teachers here are passionate about what they do and always give it their most. I can certainly tell if teachers are burnt out by just observing them. I do not feel that vibe here at Plavan. The teachers here are smart, attentive, and genuinely care about the students and families that they work with. They are very direct and always open for communication. If you have problems they will try to work with you personally until the issues are resolved. Kudos to the Principal, Dr. Ham. He is truly an exceptional boss. He takes good care of his staff. In return, they take good care of the students. Dr. Ham is always out directing traffic in the morning. He knows the name of every student at Plavan and makes an effort to chat with all the parents. This man is very hands-on and leads by example. Shout out to Ms. Jill Summerhays who is the current district teacher of the year. I mean wow, my middle son got to be in her class for 2 years. He was taught by the best. And it shows with all the progress he has made. She has a very unique teaching style and deep understanding of my son's educational needs. She proactively communicates with us and promptly addresses any concerns that we have. Her aides, Ms. Roberta, Ms. Patsy and Ms. Jennifer are so patient and sweet. My son loves going to school. We really enjoy seeing pictures of him doing fun and creative learning activities throughout the year. From the very first day my son started school here, she was so sweet and made us feel comfortable. We felt the love and knew this was the right place for him to learn and thrive. Also shout out to Ms. Jenn Andrews. My oldest son has her this year and it has been wonderful. She would meet with us throughout the school year to discuss his progress and offer ideas and different ways we can help him improve his skills at home. She is an amazing teacher with a lot of compassion and a big heart. You can tell she really loves teaching Kindergarten and helping her students succeed. Her classroom aide, Mrs. Williams is so sweet and great with the kids. In general, Plavan has really set the bar for how a school should be. The front office staff is warm, welcoming and respectful to all the parents who come in. I feel that we get first-class treatment like at a private school. They also try to get the parents involved with the PTO as much as possible. Great job Plavan!”
