Schools in Riverside, CA

“Just moved to riverside and finding a daycare for my son was by far the most stressful time. This daycare made everything so easy for me and my son loves it. The staff is so incredibly friendly and helpful. It's a flat monthly rate depending on part time or full time. They also accept certain programs that help pay for the tuition you just have to ask them at the office and the email you a list of places that help out if you qualify. I'm grateful for this day care and staff beyond happy and so is my son.”

“My son has been at this preschool for now 8 months and we love it here . I love that they have a schedule for them and help teach them manners , potty train , reading and so much more .

The staff are very easy to interact with and never any issues . medica director is lovely as well she is very involved and always welcoming parents . My son loves MS.

“My daughter came from a different school and right away she adjusted. Her teacher and the entire staff are so welcoming and patient. I get pictures daily of my daughter learning, playing , and having fun. Her teacher always shares special moments with me and my daughter is always happy to see her. She is coming home everyday singing a new song, learning something new and most importantly happy.”

“My son attended this school before covid for about 1-2 years and man were we impressed. The staff did an excellent job with my son. I can't thank this school enough for the support we received.”

“If I can recommend any preschool/after school care it would be this one.My son started here about a year ago & I can honestly say that I love & appreciate this school & its teachers. They have not only been so helpful with potty training but I’ve noticed such an amazing improvement in my son’s vocabulary & learning skills since he started here. Ms. Melissa & Ms. Martha are also sooo sweet & friendly but that goes for all the teachers at this school. The tuition is also very affordable!”

“I would highly recommend The Learning Experience for any parent looking for preschool in the area! The facility is clean, staff is very friendly and the curriculum that is taught is very impressive. Highly recommend!”

“If ur looking for child care this place is it .love how the teachers and front office lady are so sweet , compassion with the children . Clean environment plus it always smells wonderful when u enter the front door .”

“Children's lighthouse has been an amazing experience for us and has helped a ton this year. I am also a teacher here and love the atmosphere trusting all with my two girls in school!”

“This is a great starting school/daycare my son learned many things and skills from socializing better to counting more. I think definitely this a great place to help your children before they start elementary school.”

“I enrolled my daughters into IAR 2 years ago. My eldest attended 6-8th grade at IAR and my youngest attended her 4th-current 6th grade year at IAR. My only regret is not enrolling them into IAR sooner. I am truly grateful to the staff and teachers that have helped my daughters learn more about Islam and their deen. IARs Arabic and quran classes are great as well. and I really love that the classes are slightly smaller than regular public schools. May Allah continue to bless IAR for many more years to come.”

“Mrs.C was one of the most passionate, informational, dedicated teachers I have ever had in my life. She was there when I needed help, she gave me words of wisdom, and just always provided positive affirmations throughout the course. She was very understanding both in the classroom and in the clinical setting. She always remained professional throughout these past five months and I am so honored to have been in her class. She pushed me to keep going and to never give up. And because of that, I am officially enrolled into an LVN school. Thank You Mrs. C for everything!”

“I have been having my daughter go here for years. Wonderful staff. Very accommodating to my schedule and needs. I love the different options of care they give such as drop offs to school! I would definitely recommend this business!”

“We looked into many preschools before making our decision this place just fit so right they invited us in to the playground to try it out and our daughter loved it from the start as did we. Everyone on staff has been amazing and we highly recommend the facility.”

“I've been out of teaching for a few years. So, I was surprised that CM turned mostly warehouse/online orders. I ordered through the website. It was ready in one day for pickup. Staff are friendly. My husband picked it up and he said they were very nice and quick.”

“Absolutely love this school! The school is very nice and clean. The teachers are super friendly and patient with my child! Big shout outs to Ms. Jazmine, Ms. Jocelyn, and Ms. Dom! ^_^ The thing I like most about this school is they send you updated videos/photos of your child daily! Pricing is also very reasonable! Highly recommend this school to your little ones!”

“We researched/toured a quite a few preschools in Riverside (including looking into accreditation + licensing) for our kiddos but chose FUMPS because:1 - No one talks about their kids' preschool the way FUMPS families talk about this school! The LOVE is for REAL!2 - It's community, culture, & passion for child development is a gift that stays with it's families far beyond their time at the school. 3 - The teachers & staff are all magic (seriously, there's something in the water). My daughter started mid-year due to her age & our first day on campus every single staff member greeted her BY NAME as we walked to class!4 - The schedule is M-F 9am-12pm & there is an option for 2, 3, or 5 days so families get the number of days per week they need, but it's not a full day schedule so I got the time I wanted with them as well (they also offer an option for early drop off & late pick up if needed). 5 - The classes each max out at 12-15 students with a lead teacher + an aid, so there is a ton of individualized attention6 - The kids leave confident & totally ready for PreK/Kindergarten. 7 - The campus is on the First United Methodist Church grounds so it's very private & tucked away. 8 - It's nondenominational so they are welcoming to everyone. 9 - Students are all 2yr 9mo to 4 (turning 5) years of age, so they are only exposed to other kids in their age range. 10 - The pricing is super competitive. ***Call & talk to Karen about enrolling...you'll quickly find out reasons 11-100! I recommend this school to everyone I know & love with preschool aged children. You will never regret sending your sweet babies here!”

“I was so hesitate to leave my daughter in a school at such a young age, but due to my work schedule i had no choice. Well, i am so glad I made my decision to leave her at Centro de Ninos! This is by far the best school for your little ones. The teachers and staff are super nice and sweet! Don't be mistaken, this is not a "daycare" kids learn a lot here!!! It's super secure, you will leave your child with a peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.”

“Our son went to Temple Beth El cdc for one year of tk and it was an all around amazing experience. His teacher, Mrs. Palacios, made the classroom such a positive, fun, and warm learning environment. It is very safe and secure and all the staff is so welcoming. We will definitely be coming back when our youngest is old enough to enroll.”

“This is the 3rd daycare I’ve enrolled my girls in. I will not ever enroll them in any other daycare provider. Since enrollment, Diana, School Director has been phenomenal. Every request for my child’s care, she has always relayed it to her team. For example, I am fostering to adopt one of my girls and requested for the team to call her the we call her versus her legal name. Of course all documentation is in her legal name but the fact that Diana and her team now calls my baby the name we call her brings me so much bliss. Daniella, Assistant Director, is amazing with treating every child as if they were her own. I am so grateful for Kindercare because I always feel heard and seen as a parent, and I can focus on my work knowing that my girls are in loving and attentive care.”

“We had clear communications and easy access. Moving our clients in and out of Mission Grove self storage has never been easier. Big storage units, professional staff. Mindful Movers IE recommends if you need storage, get a unit here.”

“Kidd street was the best place for my child considering the pricing for childcare back then was crazy everywhere. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs childcare”

“We’ve had our kids here for about five years now, pre-pandemic and during and after. Things have changed in that period of time, but we’ve been extremely happy with how they’ve worked with our children over the years.Starting up front, the negatives. They compete with area Pre-K and TK (transitional kindergarten) programs, including a school district program that is free and, when paired with their HEARTS afterschool program, runs much later than Milestones does. Milestones’ closing time of 3pm is challenging if you’re both working parents (or if you’re a single working parent), and of course costs more than the district options. As far as private childcare goes, they’re much more cost-competitive and can take younger kids (age 2 or so) than the free option. It’s a tough value argument to make if it interferes with a typical 9a-5p work schedule.That being said, we definitely like the overall value proposition. Compared to the area TK options, Milestones emphasizes learning through play (whereas area TK options are more like an extra year of kindergarten). They do an excellent job of helping kids work through early-childhood socialization with other kids, and we feel our kids came out of it with a lot of empathy and social skills, as well as problem-solving and conflict resolution skills.Academically, we’ve found their learning-through-play style to be wonderfully effective. Both our kids have learned how to love and enjoy learning here. I’m not certain the TK “extension of kindergarten” format would have been as effective at doing this. Either way, results speak for themselves. Our daughter was a candidate for grade-skip at the end of 1st grade and our son is, at age 5, excitedly bringing home reading homework from Milestones, eager to show off.In all, the most important thing to us is our kids have LOVED going there. Dinner conversation often went over playing with their friends, encountering some conflict (“this kid isn’t sharing” or “they went to play with this other friend instead of me” playground drama), and often talked about how the teachers helped them work through the conflict maturely.I wish the hours were better, but I also know that back when they WERE open until 6pm the majority of parents did not keep kids there beyond 4 anyway, so the hours reduction made a *lot* of sense to them (often only a couple of kids would be remaining past 5pm).Sum of it is, this is a great place to take your kids, with great and caring staff that do emphasize actually preparing kids to eventually “age out” and go to kindergarten.”
