Excellent preschool with loving teachers and staff. Our children have been thriving and learning so much. When we go pick them up they love playing and sometimes don't want to leave. Would highly recommend this preschool for an amazing Christian foundation for your children.

I use to like this school when my son was attending. Then there was a change happening and the school went down hill. My son was dropped by his teacher and she was so rude about it and didn't care that his face had scars. We had a meeting but nothing was the same afterwards. I felt the teachers were aggressive towards him and once he went to public school he really flourished.

My daughter has been attending Kirkwood for three years and has absolutely thrived in this program. She has learned valuable social and academic skills in addition to Christian values. Their preschool program is set up so students progress at their own pace, allowing them to learn at a level and speed that is challenging yet supportive for each student. I have been a teacher for 14 years in Downey Unified, and I am very pleased with Kirkwood's preschool program. My daughter will be entering public school next year as a confident and competent kindergartener because of her time with the patient, caring teachers and staff at Kirkwood.

Initially I was really content with this school I even recommended it. There were also some great people there. But it is necessary to say that if you do decide to take your kids here please pay attention and be aware of their behavior as it will tell u a lot. My son loved going to school, like most kids we struggled to get up in the morning but he never cried or said he didn't want to go. He had gone to another preschool but it shut down during the pandemic so he wasn't new to going to school and never had a problem. Suddenly he says someone had been hitting him at school when I asked who he didn't know their name. I talked to the teachers and they said they would keep an eye out but never had a response for me. He had been moved to the preschool class as that is where he should be in preparation for kindergarten & that's when things went downhill, he started saying he didn't want to go to school and one day he started crying and didn't want to let me go when i dropped him off. I told the teacher that he said someone had hit him and the teacher asked who hit him and he pointed at her!!! I took him home and called the school. I didn't get to speak to the principal that day and so the next day I wanted to see my son's reaction when I told him he had to go to school and he burst out in tears, yelling that he didn't want to go. When I asked him why, he said "my teacher hit me!!" He said she hit him on the head really hard. I was furious and called the school and they tried to blow me off and say that the teacher was very nice and that it couldn't be and basically that my son had a wild imagination!!! Please if u don't need to do not take your kids here!! My son then switched schools and is now in kindergarten and I have never had another issue like that again.

My son has been here a few months and I am so happy we decided to take him here. We looked for a while for the right preschool and I was so nervous to let him go. He is a very wild child and I didn't want to put that on anyone. Anyways we enrolled him and from the very first interaction my husband and I were so impressed. Front office is so professional and friendly. I love how everyday when I drop him off I can I smell how clean it is. They take pride in their classrooms and keep them super tidy and sanitized. My son is a completely different kid since starting here. He has calmed down so much and his vocabulary and art skills have grown so fast! He is writing numbers and letters and he just turned 4. He can use a computer and he sings cute songs to us and gives me random facts. Like for example on ground hog day he told me what it was and why we celebrate and my mind was blown. Another day he explained to me how things turn to solid and liquid and gas. He absolutely adores his teacher Ms Pilar and also loves Miss Diana. He loves going to school every morning and has the biggest smile on his face when we pick him Up and he loves to bring home his artwork to put on the fridge. I am so happy we enrolled him here and tell all my friends about it.
