“Nice Christian high school. Thank God, you don't have to go to public school. Great foundation in Christianity, and Christian lifestyle. Not the perfect teenagers. Some of the educators, are off. Excellent academics. They let you work, as much as you would ever love.”

“Walking into this school can transport anyone from the reality of being in downtown L.A.
Wonderfully composed music being played by all ages echo's throughout the halls of this music education institution. It's rather incredible to see so much music talent from the dedicated students that call this place home for their abilities. I have seen teachers mentoring students providing guidance on playing various instruments. There are many student ensembles here. Dedicated teachers and students are the norm here. The school also advertises free concerts to showcase the magical work that happens at the school. The venues on site for these events are designed to provide the best acoustic sound. During the weekends the school is bustling with activity. Beyond the music, I have also noticed ballet dancers.

Security staff is also welcoming and reassures parents that all the children here are looked after. Every security staff member meet here is welcoming yet also confirms patrons reasons for being present. Parking for families is provided by the school. Due note that parking is limited based on the popularity of the school and its large attendance.”

“Love the atmosphere, caretakers and the wonderful curriculum which is play based. Very happy to have found KA. My daughter loves her school. We are sad to leave but she is well prepared for TK/kinder thanks to wondering staff at KA.”

“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.”

“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.”

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 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.”

“Incredible organization providing the youth of our community with opportunities and support to achieve their fullest potential. I give to BGCF because I trust them—and because they deliver. The return on investment, in terms of transformed lives, is incredible.”

“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.”

“I Always going be thankful with the teachers and staff here specially miss santi and her assistants on Room 4, my 5 years old love this center so much she was here since she was 3 years old , THNK YOU !!!!”

“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 family and I are so very grateful for Oneonta! It has been such a magical experience since the first day we toured. We cannot imagine more perfect teachers for both our son and us to learn from each day. This is our second year being a part of this beautiful community and I love how each day I receive a similar answer from our 4.5 year old when asked, “Did you have a fun time at school today?” Typically, it’s an “Of course!” paired with a big smile. Cannot imagine a better place for our family for preschool.”

“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!”

“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.”

“We’ve been coming to scent training classes here for over a year and absolutely love it. Penny and her staff are extraordinary knowledgeable about dog training and behavior and they’ve not just taught my dog but also made me a much better dog trainer. Plus, my dog can now use her nose to find my keys if I ask her to which is the coolest trick we know.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Celebration Kids! When I was looking for a pre-school for my child I was overwhelmed and turned off by some of the other schools I visited, many had an intense applying-to-college-like energy. When I found CK I was thrilled, from the moment we began our tour I knew it was for us- the vibe is warm, down to earth and joyful. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, caring and dedicated. The campus is so sweet, embracing the beauty of nature and they have cute bunnies. We love CK so much we decided to keep our child there for TK. It’s a loving community that lives up to its name as they truly do celebrate kids.”

“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.”
