“There is not enough space for me to write all the wonderful things I want to say. Both of my kids attended Creative. The entire staff is absolutely stellar. The director/teacher Ms. Denise is truly amazing and became someone my daughter admired and just loves so much. Even Ms. Sharon, Ms. Susan, Mr. Viet, Ms. Annie, Ms. Jackie, Ms. Vanessa and their chef Ms. Rosie are all absolutely wonderful. My daughter learned so much from every single one of them and every day she was always having fun while learning. They are always in constant communication with you and providing photos and daily updates so you feel confident your child is in a safe and happy environment. They teach your kids a wide variety of subjects from science, math, sight words, writing, singing/dancing, art, crafts, games and even cooking ...all in such a manner the kids enjoy doing it and there is no stress but instead they actually want to participate!! It's so amazing. The school always hosts family fun events for you to come see your child's progress in school. Summer time is so fun too as they have pony rides and magic shows and splash days etc! Also, the food they cook is so good my daughter always tells me she prefers Ms Rosie's food. LOL! My daughter was always so excited to wake up and go to school, and would come home talking about her day. We are so sad my youngest has just graduated from Creative, but are happy with how much progress she has made and know that she will do well in life because of them! We can't thank the staff enough for all they have taught our children and for all of the wonderful memories that we will cherish forever. Our family really misses the school already. Creative has really set the bar so high that I honestly don't think I will ever be pleased with any other school/staff!!”

“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 experience at Love and Care Christian Preschool was nothing short of wonderful! My two children, aged 4 and 2 years at the time, attended this preschool for about 6 months, and they absolutely adored all the teachers.

It was my daughter's first daycare/preschool experience, and she initially had a tough time adjusting. However, Ms. Silvia's patience and care made all the difference. My daughter went from crying in the first couple of weeks to eagerly looking forward to school, especially to see her "best friend," as she lovingly called Ms. Silvia.

Ms. Lucia, in particular, stood out for her kindness. She was always very caring. Sadly, we had to relocate to a city far away, and saying goodbye to Love and Care Christian Preschool was difficult. The progress I witnessed in my kids during their time there was remarkable – from improved writing skills to enhanced personalities overall.

I truly recommend this preschool to every parent. The dedication and care exhibited by the teachers make it a nurturing environment for children to thrive. If you're looking for a place where your kids can learn, grow, and build lasting connections, I guarantee you this is the ideal place. :)

I am forever thankful for all the wonderful teachers at Love and Care Preschool for taking such good care of my kids.”

“Well, I like the school because of how attentive and friendly the teachers are to the students. I don't speak English so they try to talk to me in Spanish.⊂⁠(⁠◉⁠‿⁠◉⁠)⁠つ”

“I can't say enough about this lovely little school- our son loved it, we loved it. The social/emotional child led play based structure was exactly what our child needed after being inside for a year because of the pandemic. Gilbert and Wendy care enormously for the children, as do the other parents. It is extremely bittersweet to be moving on....If you haven't found your village yet, look no further!”

“We put our 3 1/2 year old son in lyric preschool for three months while we were in LA visiting family. If we were local we would have kept him there. He learned so much in his three short months there. He loved his teachers and made good friends. I cannot recommend this school enough!”

“It's an excellent place for young children to expand and grow. With many years of having an outstanding reputation for excellence, this small school takes personal pride in the education, safety, and development of each of its students. All of the staff and teachers know each of the students. And each student is greeted personally by name each morning!

The teachers are incredible! With years of experience, great pride, and a true desire to do the best for each child, the teaching staff excels! They are well-trained and well-versed in a wide range of behavioral and academic learning techniques, as well as being truly passionate about teaching each of their pupils. Each child gets a lot of individual attention in their classes.

Our experience has been remarkably positive, from Nursery to TK to Kinder. It was a bit overwhelming and confusing at first, especially as it was our first school at the time, but after a couple months we could see the value clearly and really began to appreciate the teachers and staff.”

“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.”

“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've been at GSCC since January 2020. It came highly recommended by a local mom and after touring with Ms. Linda we loved it. All three of my kids have attended here. They love it and have learned so much. The teachers are so compassionate and caring towards my kids and me. They helped with potty training and transitioning through different developmental milestones. I would highly recommend it.”

“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 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.”

“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 just want to say that I've had my son at St Johns since we he was two, he is now4 1/2 and he loves coming to school now, when we started two years ago I almost pulled him out because I did not like his morning teachers " Flora and Naomi" everytime I would drop him off one was in a chair and the other would be standing around, I never seen them comfort the children when they were crying, his afternoon teachers were good with him, when the school got their new Director Mrs Bernadette, I noticed alot of things change, for the best, my son got new teachers and the school is doing alot better, we notice all the improvements, all the activities, celebrations and the summer is full of excitement, I can say that the school is better off without those teachers. I would like to thank the current teachers at st Johns for being loving and caring teachers, and also thank Mrs Bernadette for running a great school and wonderful staff, I highly recommend this school. Thank you st Johns staff”

“Giselle at RLC 2 is a true gem! She is patient, kind, caring and takes very good care of the children. If I have any concerns the directors takes my needs seriously and we find resolutions together for the benefit of my son. My son is learning ALOT and is thriving. The owner is dedicated to excellence and it shows with the growth and development of my son.”

“I was on vacation in California and took my six year old daughter here for a day. She had so much fun exploring, inventing and playing with the other kids.

When we woke up the next day, the first thing my daughter said was, “I want to go back to Imaginology.”

We had plans to go to Huntington Gardens, but instead we took her back to Imaginology and dropped her off.

The adults had a nice day at the gardens and when we went to pick up my daughter from Imaginology she didn’t want to leave.

My daughter is usually very shy and anxious around new places and people. The fact that she wanted to go back the next day and was okay with being left there without me speaks volumes.

The staff is very friendly and professional.

The philosophy and activities at Imaginology changed my life and perspective on parenting/childhood development for the better.

I would for sure 10/10 recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun day with their kid.

I would also for sure 10/10 recommend this place to anyone looking to learn more about the power of imagination and play. These are such an important concepts to understand in our modern high tech cookie cutter society.

If we had one of these in Michigan, we would visit it at least every month.”

“My family and my boy love this preschool. My son was a very shy and timid 4 yo boy when entering Little Sunshine a year ago (we kept him at home before that due to COVID). He was so shy and even afraid dealing with toddlers younger than himself at that time. Only after a few months, we saw tremedous changes in him, slowly he has turned into a confident and independent young boy. The teachers are very loving and caring, and yet are very firm when teaching the kids to obey rules. There were two events i remembered vividly, one was during the 2nd week my boy was crying non-stop (he was struggling to adapt to new environment), and teacher Vivian successfully helped him to transition himself to be ready in just a few days by showing him that he was no longer the younger boys that yell and cry like toddler because he can already use his words. Another event was my boy acccidently peed in his pant, and he wasn't ashamed or upset about it when i picked him up after school. This was surprising as he is a very sensitive boy. I believe this had to do with how the teachers have dealt with this incident, i.e. teachers must have been using very tender and kind words and ways rather than rebuking him. I think all the teachers are very loving, emphatehetic, patient and encouraging. The communication with class teacher and admin is excellent, and the pictures posted daily keep me informed (and entertained) of my son's progress and learning. The Mandarin and Spanich lessons are certainly bonus. My son comes home with big small smile on his face and also has been more well behaved and definitely more sociable since attending the preschool. I'm very happy with our decision to send my son to this place, and i could'nt asked for more.”

“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!!”

“An absolutely amazing school - a magical place for little ones! Both my children attend Happy Birch and I couldn't wish for a better place. Beautiful space, fantastic teachers.. just the best of the best.”

“Free food baskets, but make an appointment and receive can goods, dry goods, and meat. Also, some days hot food is prepared and is available to those in need. Just ask the front desk staff”

“Hello, it was easy for me to find pre school academy for my daughter because they provided me with everything quickly thanks to all the teachers. My daughter learned very quickly. I am very grateful to all of them. I recommend them to other parents....”

“Our experience at PLAY has truly been a dream come true—it’s an amazing preschool that really has it all: exceptional teachers and caregivers, a beautiful campus, flexible offerings, and a diverse and inclusive community. We will cherish our time with Miss Martha, Miss Veronica, and the whole bunch for years to come!The programming at PLAY is incredibly well-rounded and makes room for everything you could want from a preschool experience. Our daughter was given hands-on academic attention, social-emotional encouragement and guidance, and access to a steady stream of inventive activities. She loved going every day, begged to stay as long as she could, and really learned so much.I know there are lots of factors involved when choosing a preschool for our children, but I really respected that PLAY wasn’t trying to be flashy or trendy. They were committed to making sure our child was ready for elementary school in all the ways that mattered most, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who made that possible.”

“I chose this place for a backup care day on the Bright Horizons website and my kids had a great experience! My husband dropped by (unannounced) to check it out a few days before their scheduled day, and without looking it up, the director already knew their names and which rooms they'd be in. One of my kids was a little upset at drop off, but they sent a picture and video of him happily playing through the app shortly after my husband left. We've been to one other back up location in the network, but my son says he likes this one better than that one. It was only one day, but this place exceeded my expectations by adding a warm and personal touch.”

“This is a great place for kids.my son come here around 1year.every day is happy,he love to go to school.teacher are all so nice,my son loves Amy teacher.he learn a lot here.and I thing has one thing is great,I can see my son all the time in the school from the camera.”

“This daycare is absolutely amazing. The The owner and staff are transparent, open door policy, streamline communication via parents and staff with their app, their service is higher quality than many other daycares that charge double the tuition( speaking from straight experience), and they take parents feedback pretty seriously, I've witnessed them constantly updating and upgrading their business based on our feedback.

I would say that it's an undervalued daycare in the area and a lot of people probably judge it or don't even consider it because of its location. However, it's a little hidden gem you're missing out on. The only thing I wish was they took infants, they are currently licensed for 2+.”

“Pat Terrones is my child's kinder teacher and she is the most caring, kind, faithful person I have ever met. A true blessing thank you for the amazing year. Must send you kids here for kinder they will become super smart like mine.”

“The school is absolutely perfect. The staff and team are welcoming and hands on with my child! The circulum and teacher to student ratio is great! Thank you all so much for helping transition my child into school as a first time parent”

“I’m so grateful this place exists. It quickly became my second home and I’m continually in awe of the level of dedication and love Naha pours into this school. Thank you from every corner of my heart times infinity.”
