“We cannot say enough good things about the ece program at JCC. Our son loves going to school, and has just blossomed as a tiny human. His teacher (ms mott) is such a blessing, and cares for each child as her own. We LOVE her!! From his speech and motor skills, all the way to developing life-long friendships. An added bonus for us parents, is the aspect of community and connecting with other families in the area. We look forward to events, all school Shabbat, etc, bc we have formed such great ties to other parents and their children. Really just can't say enough good things. Very appreciative our son landed a spot in this program.”

“I have put 2 Kids through this program/school/daycare and highly recommend. The teachers have shown great care and kindness towards my children and create a structured and positive learning environment. My now kindergarten was very prepared for his transition to school.”

“This bilingual preschool has been a lifesaver for us first-time parents. The stress of finding a good school for your kid can keep you up at night. But when we found this preschool, it was like a huge weight was lifted off our shoulders.Our little boy started at this preschool when he was just two years old. He's three now, and the transformation we've seen in him is nothing short of amazing. You wouldn't believe the nerves we had sent him off on his first day. But this school has been a true blessing.The teachers here are some of the most caring people I've ever met. They've made it their mission to ensure that our son, and all the other kids, are learning in a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I mean, it's just unbelievable how quickly our boy has adapted and how excited he is every morning to go to school.And let's talk about the bilingual part. We wanted our son to learn Chinese, but we were clueless about how to go about it. But this kindergarten made it a piece of cake! The teachers use all sorts of fun and interactive ways to get the kids to learn Chinese and English side by side. Our boy is now talking and singing in Chinese, we couldn't be prouder.This school is more than just a preschool to us, it's a community. It's a place where our son is learning about the world, about different cultures, and how to respect and appreciate the differences in people.So, to all the staff at this fantastic preschool, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your hard work, dedication, and love for what you do have made this journey a breeze for us. And most importantly, you've given our son an incredible start to his education.Our gratitude for your work is endless. We're excited to see where this journey will take our son next. Thanks for giving us peace of mind and for helping our boy grow and learn every day. Keep doing what you're doing - you're changing lives!”

“"Golden City C.D.C., Inc. holds a special place in my heart, as I attended the preschool as a child and now both my son and daughter are currently attending. The staff has always made us feel like family and we appreciate the level of care and attention they provide to each child.There have been times when life gets in the way and I am unable to take my son to school events or field trips, but the director has always gone above and beyond to ensure that he can still attend and not miss out on the fun.Overall, Golden City C.D.C., Inc. is a wonderful preschool with dedicated staff who truly care about the well-being and education of their students. I highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their child to learn and grow."”

“Our son went to Kidz First Academy and we loved every minute of it. All of the staff are so warm and welcoming. Plus his teacher Mrs. Donna really prepared him for kindergarten. They were also very cautious during covid, and no outbreaks during the height of the pandemic. Which made us feel more comfortable with him going to school. During the summer they have lots of summer activities and focus on a playtime environment, while still focusing on academics to prepare your little one with their transition into kindergarten. Thank you Mrs. Donna, Molly, Lianne, and Claudia. You all were such a big instrument in such a short period of time with our son. We wish we would of started him at 2, and not 4, but we’ll be back with our other little one. Thanks again for everything.”

“Savoir Faire has been an excellent preschool for our kids. The teachers are patient, creative, and supportive. The students learn the languages surprisingly well.Our kids have split their time between the French and Spanish classes. Madame Fanny in the French class feels like an extra grandparent for our kids because they have come to bond with her. She is incredible with the kids and has helped me improve my French as well. The Spanish teachers of Patty, Patricia, Jocelyn, Nancy, and others have also been truly wonderful. We love Savoir Faire.”

“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.”

Olive preschool has truly made a positive impact on my son's development.The curriculum was engaging and age-appropriate, and I appreciate how the teachers encouraged creativity and exploration in the classroom.My son has developed strong social skills and a love for learning that will undoubtedly serve him well as he continues his education!!!Thank you again for providing such an outstanding experience for my son.We will always cherish the memories and lessons learned at Mt. Olive Preschool.”

“My granddaughter goes to this DayCare. We have not had any issues. Actually only issue is they keep asking for diapers and wipes when we've given them packs of them two weeks prior. But if you keep track like we do all you have to do is remind them. Teachers are great and our baby seems to love them which is important.”

“As a student Adult at Torrance School, I have U.S. History and English 4A and AE Economics classes for my High school diploma. Dr. Estes Hilary has been helping me. She is a great teacher, the best!! The office staff is always willing to help and give you as much information as you need, To guide you on your needs! My plans for the future at this school are to continue studying and get my high school Diploma and take the class Child Development 103.”

“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.”

“Both of our sons went to Discovery for preschool. The teachers from Julie, Dina, to Keri were all loving, caring, and patient teachers. Liana and Sheryl were also very hands on and made sure the school was a safe and good learning environment. I highly recommend this school.”

“Our son attended BCM for two years. This school is a absolute gem. A great place run by wonderful, caring, engaged educators. We wouldn’t be in California if we hadn’t found BCM. We are so grateful for the impact they’ve had on our son and our lives. Best wishes.”

“We decided to enroll our daughter for her first Pre-K experience at Ocean View Preschool. The teachers here really do care about each child, and it shows. The quality of education is very hands on, play based and super educational. Our daughter has improved significantly in her vocabulary, and on her social skills with other kiddos. We are sad to leave Ocean View Preschool as we are moving out state. Nevertheless, our family is super thankful to the teachers and staff for being part of our daughter's first learning experience. Thank you Ocean View Preschool. I highly recommend Ocean View Preschool.”

“We had our first class today and I can say my toddlers enjoyed it a lot , the teacher was super welcoming , caring , friendly ,she has a great and perfect attitude, they teach accordingly to age , the building is big and has a lot of rooms , costumer service is perfect , so far as a mom I love it , and I register both of my kids today for the school year looking forward to register my older boy on music lessons , so far for me this is a 4 stars place because we been there just for one day Definitely I will update my review after a few months , the only thing I noticed is that the paint on the walls In their classrooms looks dirty there are some stains but maybe this doesn't bother other parents maybe just me , and I think would be great if the the room for toddlers look more kid friendly lol , my baby girl was nervous and scared and started cry when she walk in the classroom , maybe some ballet decorations for kids will be perfect to make them feel more attracted and safe to their classroom, but anyway I register them based on my first day I think would be a great experience for my kids.”

“The team is very professional and effective. My son came out of the three weeks summer instruction ahead of the game in school with more confidence and knowledge to be able to learn in fourth grade.”

“St John's Preschool has been such a wonderful experience for our daughter. She had wonderful teachers, made amazing friendships and loves the playground, which has different "yards". There is a huge sand box, bike yard, and new playground. I love her getting so much outdoor play and interacting with nature in the playground, along with tons of fun projects, art and learning. It's such a great place and our second daughter will be attending soon. All the parents have been really great as well. We made a lot of lifelong friendships at St John's Preschool. I highly recommend the school!”

“Both my kids went to Discovery and it was such a positive experience for them. As a parent I felt comfortable with my children attending this preschool, knowing they were getting the best care and socialization for their development. The teachers were very attentive to any needs or questions we had and the entire staff felt like family. I would highly recommend this pre-school to anyone looking for nurturing environment for their child.”

“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!!”

“My son went here and it was honestly the best school ever. They were always on gaurd and always let me know when something wasnt right or when there was an incident. This school really deserves the 5 stars. The teachers and director are also someof the nicest people you can meet. You will truly feel safe leaving your child at their care. My daughter will be attending this year for pre k . Super excited ?”

“My son has been at BB4 since he was 8 weeks old and I am so incredibly grateful for all of the teachers and staff. I've never seen such a group of incredibly kind, genuine, intelligent people in one organization. They dealt with the pandemic with strength, professionalism, communication and transparency and we wouldn't have felt safe bring our son anywhere else! Through it all, they have a whole curriculum AND teach kindness and inclusion. Thank you so very much!!!!!”

“My 3 year old daughter and 7 month old son attended this daycare and we all had the best experience! My daughter was there since 2020 and my son started 2023. My daughter always looked forward to coming to school and learned so much. All the teachers are so caring and involved in such great ways. I was sad to leave this school since we moved out of state, but for anyone in the South Bay- I highly highly recommend this school/daycare! Elaine, Aurora, and Rachel are also so great as management and always are happy to see the kids and parents. Than you children’s journey :) We will miss you!”

“My child has been attending for about 6 months now and he has done so well here and he really enjoys his teachers here, it is always clean and well organized as well, and have helped immensely with potty training too. They have great programs and spend a good amount of time outside as well. They close at 5:30pm and my only wish was they were open a bit later or had an extended hour option for nights when you need to work late.”

“We are so disappointed that we had to pull our kiddos out when we moved away!! Oakwood Academy is such a great school and I miss our kids going here dearly! The teachers are all great and very attentive and our kids learned SO much while they were there. Our barely 3YO was only able to spend about 6 months there before we left, but while we were there, she built so much confidence and learned so much from Ms. Tana, Ms. Jessie, and Ms. Noemi!Ms. Noemi, Ms. Jessie, and Ms. Rosa were my other kiddo's teachers and they're all so great! This school tries to get parents involved in various activities and our kids really enjoyed all the parties that the school threw. We have no complaints and would highly recommend this school to other families!”

“Would like to start off by saying that Mr. Donohue is amazing and he is the reason that we are very happy to be part of the Saint Joseph Family. Would definitely recommend for any new families to consider taking a tour of our amazing school!”
