“My daughter started coming here about a month ago because the day care I had her at wasn’t paying enough attention to her and instead spend there time complaining about her behavior. But there has been such a drastic/ amazing change since she started at bright stars. Her behavior/ speech and playing skills have improved so much! I can’t thank them enough. Literally the director Maria has been nothing more than helpful and supportive with my daughter. All the teachers there are also super sweet and amazing. Overall my experience has been amazing andswitching my daughter to bright stars was the best thing I could’ve done for her!”

“Our older daughter attended B'nai Simcha for 3 years and our younger daughter is there now-- we have loved the sweet community, the outdoor space and education, and the Jewish education focused on teaching Jewish ethics and values and centering around the Jewish holiday calendar. We have also made lasting friendships with other B'nai families.”

“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!”

“The Theater: Mid size one floor theater. They have performance of musicians collaborating with their students.There is a cafe at the building behind selling coffee, snacks and salad. Lots of seating. The Parking: Street metered parking and a few private parking lots on 2nd Street.”

“We are very happy with the care that our daughter receives at Foothill Progressive Montessori School. They offer a good balance between fun and educational activities. The teachers, assistants and administrators are always very caring and willing to help all of the children even if they aren’t in their class. We are especially appreciative of Ms. Raquel and Ms. Angelica. The school also hosts many activities and events for the children and invites parents to participate in many of them. Overall, we would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a quality preschool.”

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this school! The staff is kind, professional, and truly cares about the well-being and growth of every child. My daughter has not only learned so much academically but has also grown in confidence and social skills. The communication between parents and teachers is excellent, and I always feel involved and informed. I’m so grateful for the safe, supportive, and encouraging environment they’ve created. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“I am a Fusion alumni parent as my daughter spent 2 years at the academy. When, after some turbulent times, she started 11th grade in Pasadena in October 2017, the initial plan was she would just catch up with the curriculum she needed support with in order to re-join the mainstream school circuit in February 2018. However the innovative approach of Fusion, the amazing staff and the unique one-on-one teaching allowed my daughter to excel in her studies so much and enjoy going to school, that in the end she never left, stayed on through 12th grade and graduated from High School at Fusion in May 2019. With an excellent GPA she subsequently applied for colleges on the East Coast and was awarded a scholarship to study Performing Arts in the Big Apple.

Fusion advocates a groundbreaking, individualised approach to education. All schools should be like it.”

“We absolutely love La Cañada Preschool! The staff went above and beyond to support our 2-year-old’s adjustment to starting preschool, and now he’s so happy and excited to go each day. The teachers are warm, nurturing, and clearly well-trained in early childhood education. We like that children of different ages are grouped together, much like in the Swedish school system—one of the highest-rated in the world—which encourages social development and learning through peer interaction. The teacher-to-student ratio is excellent, ensuring plenty of individual attention. The balance of free Montessori-style outdoor play and structured circle time is just what we were looking for, and the abundance of arts and crafts is a huge plus. We couldn’t be happier—thank you, La Cañada Preschool, for being such a wonderful place for our little one! A true gem of a place. Thank you La Cañada Pre-school for all the love and care you put into the children ?and supporting families.”

“Love Don Julian Elementary, I have 4 kids there from Tk to 6 grade. The school has been changing since they added 7th and 8th grade and We got a new Principal a little over a year ago. First of all Mr. Arellanes (our new Principal) is awesome, my kids say he's Cool and he's doing a very good job. I heard about some issues going on with middle schoolers vaping and other stuff and let me tell you that school staff is not to be blamed for it. We as Parents are responsible for what our kids are doing. Education starts at Home. If you're really concerned about your kids education go to school meetings, district meetings speak up. Don't just come here and complain about it.”

“We've been with Discovery Days since they first opened in Bellevue. Now, 3 kids and 7 years in, I can't express enough how grateful I am for this school. All of my kids attended since they were infants with one as early as 12 weeks old! You can rest assured your baby is in good hands. Each time we move up a class, it's a bitter sweet moment for all of us as the connections the children have made with the teachers go beyond being taken care of.Every teacher we've had was not only highly skilled but also genuinely invested in the well-being and development of my kids. Their love for what they do truly shows in the effort and support they put into each child. Their unwavering love and patience through difficult phases is commendable and heartwarming. I love that the school has great communication, keeping us updated on daily activities with pictures and comments throughout the day. The staff is always available to address any concerns or queries promptly, and they regularly keep parents informed about the curriculum and upcoming events. I wholeheartedly recommend Discovery Days Preschool to any parent seeking an exceptional early learning experience for their child. It's a place where laughter, love, and learning intertwine, providing a solid foundation for life beyond the campus gates. The owners have created a preschool that truly goes above and beyond to foster an environment where children thrive, learn, and blossom into confident individuals. Thank you, Discovery Days Preschool, for making our children's preschool years truly magical!”

“My son attended Tomorrowland this past year and we were beyond impressed. The staff, teachers and Ms. Claire really care for the students. My son loved learning there and is better equipped for Kinder.They have a clear system of how to communicate with families and teachers. They were very accommodating with our son’s allergies (there are many).The facilities are new and clean.Thank you to Tomorrowland!”

“My son was in this school and was the best school for toddlers kids . Wonderful teachers and we miss them. Unfortunately The fire in Pasadena born it down. But I just wanted to take some time and thanks the owners for a wonderful job and to continue . My son will love to be back with you .”

“Amazing Preschool!

Our experience at Keystone Montessori Preschool has been nothing short of outstanding. From day one, the staff welcomed our family with warmth and professionalism, making the transition into preschool smooth and reassuring.

The Montessori philosophy is brought to life beautifully here. The classrooms are peaceful, organized, and full of engaging, hands-on materials that spark curiosity and independent learning. It’s clear that the educators are deeply committed to each child’s development — not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well.

What impressed us most is how our child is learning to make choices, solve problems, and take pride in their work. They come home every day excited to share what they’ve discovered, whether it’s learning about plants, practicing new words, or helping prepare a snack.

The teachers are attentive, respectful, and genuinely invested in helping children grow into capable, kind individuals. We love how they encourage independence while also creating a strong sense of community in the classroom.

We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this Keystone Montessori family. It’s a wonderful foundation for a lifetime of learning. Highly recommended!”

“It is a really good school, I love it . Both the classes and teachers are really good and helpful. I wish they had a kindergarten as well too .I miss the school and their staffs.”

“Hogg's hollow was the best decision I made for my kids' younger years. They have a unique outdoor program catered specially for hands on learning with the aim for kids to become more independant and confident about their abilities. Field trips, science experiments, organized cultural events, outdoor classrooms, art rooms are just a few of their curriculum activities that keeps it exciting for the kids. In addition to this, year round access to the adjacent track field where the kids have daily biking lessons and enjoy track and field days are an excellent source of daily exercise. Lastly, the teachers at Hogg's hollow have been the same since my oldest started with them ..which was several years ago..this is an indication of a healthy school environment for teachers and kids. To parents of young kids, gives this school a chance before you exploring anything else.”

“The top preschool in Monterey Park! Kids must be two or older to enroll, they also have kindergarten. Every teacher here has been amazing and cannot recommend this school enough. We are so blessed to have been able to enroll our kids here!”

“We just finished our first year at Cottage and it has truly exceeded our expectations. We toured many, many preschools, but this one truly stood out. It is such a wonderful, caring, engaged community of parents and teachers. All the teachers are so amazing and the program is truly play-based with a focus on social-emotional learning. Every aspect of the day is thought out with true intention, while allowing kids freedom to explore and immerse themselves in play. My daughter looks forward to going every day, and we feel so safe and grateful knowing she is truly in the best hands. The parent community has been such an unexpected gift, and the opportunities for involvement and parent education make the experience even richer. It's truly a magical place!”

“Wonderful teachers with long tenure. Great parent association that builds community with events and fun activities for the children. They have Nursery, Preschool, and TK programs. Been attending since my child was two and is now going into TK.”

“Amazing staff and the kids have a great time learning. Everyone is nice and its obvious that they enjoy what they do. Jim is the best and is always looking out for the center.”

“My kid had a really good experience here. It was just post pandemic where everything was opening up. The teachers and staff were caring and attentive. Of note, my nephews and cousins all attended ACGS through a couple of generations and all recommend it.”
