“Little Lamb Land has truly been a blessing to my children and I. Not only do they care for my children, they share our religious belief. My children are able to share their beliefs and foundation with those around them. But don’t get it confused this preschool is not only about God, they have very good teachers here. Who have worked with my twins and they know how to write their name and spell it very well. They have pushed homework weekly and this gives my children the opportunity to practice not only at school but at home. It has helped me to notice their strengths and weaknesses. I truly love this preschool and they are affordable.”

“Everyone here is absolutely amazing, the teachers are so caring and sweet. The team was an absolute gem when I needed to get my daughter care while I attended school. We miss them tons! If we ever return to the area I would totally come back!”

“I thought that we were going to be moving on to Public UTK, but after touring the local schools and recognizing that they are not prepared for the state UTK rollout, we decided to keep our daughter Sacred Heart Academy Preschool for another year. Little kids need to be in a welcoming, consistent, and familiar environment which they offer here. Thank you for all that you do!”

“What a blessing Lifebridge Academy has been! Our daughter loves this school and has been attending for two years now. The teachers are wonderful and Julie, the director, is fantastic! Thank you Lifebridge for the love you have shown to our family and the Christian education that our daughter has received! We couldn't be happier!”

“I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and both girls have went to Early Learners since they were 3 months old. The staff is very communicative and caring and I truly have nothing but nice things to stay about the teachers, administration, etc. The facility is very clean and has great curriculum for the students. There also is not a lot of teacher turn over and I've had the same or similar teachers for both girls since they have been in the facility. Would highly recommend!”

“An incredible experience here with my 4 year old son. Northminster Preschool took us in mid-year, as we moved houses, and welcomed our little guy with open arms. He THRIVED in the supportive structure, kind atmosphere, and curriculum. This school excels in fine arts education for children, even having an exhibition of the children's art work each year. My son advanced in every aspect of his growth and development here: speech, socio-emotional development, arts, language. He was so happy here that we even paid to keep him in their Summer School. I wish they would open a K-12 school, it was that excellent of an experience. Preschool director, assistant, staff, teachers, and Pastor are incredible people. Very supportive community. This school made all the difference in my son's education during time when we needed a dependable place to land for preschool.”

“I have had my son at Little Angels since he was 3 months old. He is now 15 months old and is always so happy to be dropped off. He does art, reading time,music time and other activities. Miss Liz and Miss Raquel are so kind and attentive. Many of the teachers are bilingual which is an added plus since I am also raising my son in a bilingual household. I have recommended Little Angels to other parents.”

“We adore the teachers and Ms. Julia! The student to teacher ratio is what sold us originally and we have stayed for the warmth, the education and the kindness that is embodied at World of Wonders. An OB gem”

“Kids Care Club has had a positive and wonderful impact on our family. Our child (Kid A) joined KCC earlier this year in the Pre-K class. Kid A's teachers, Ms. Famil and Ms. Sarah, were knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind-hearted. They not only prepared my child academically for kindergarten, but they also provided a safe space for my child to grow and learn appropriate social skills. They patiently taught them right from wrong and also confidently taught them replacement behaviors for undesired ones. They met Kid A with loving and firm boundaries. Their classroom was an environment full of learning, fun, and growth. Kid A loved school and I could tell the teachers, and the entire staff at KCC, cared so much for Kid A and their classmates. Our younger child also joined KCC a few months ago and we love Kid B's teachers and class as well. Ms. Ginger, the Center Director, and Ms. Arianna, the Assistant Director, have also been welcoming and kind. Both have helped us by answering questions and finding solutions. They make us and our children feel welcome and well cared for. We love KCC!”

“We love Scripps Exploring Academy, especially all the teachers. Our children are so happy here and it is clear that they are loved and cared for all day long. It is clear that the staff truly cares about all the kids!”

“This school is one of our absolute favorites to send students studying abroad to! Every single staff member—from the administrators to the teachers—care for each student, guiding and teaching them with love. Whenever I stop by, I feel welcomed and am treated like family. Wonderful place, would definitely recommend!”

“I went here from kindergarten to fourth grade and had some interesting experiences. The kids here were not the best but also not the worst. I loved this school personally because they would do a bunch of events like science experiments in the auditorium and a bunch of food. Most of the moms here a very gossipy and involved in everything so my family did not fit in so if you do not like to socialize this is not the school for you. By the end of fourth grade I was fluent in Chinese but by the end of fifth grade at my new school I forgot all of it so you really have to have a desire to learn and keep a language. In the end I think you can tell from what you just read that if you are not involved this is not the school for you!”

“Our family has been treated incredibly well at Primrose School of 4S Ranch. Our child is greeted, by name, every day, by every teacher, assistant, and staff member in the school. They do regularly structured activities (even with the young infants) that allow for development and growth through play. They cultivate an environment of encouragement and kindness. The level of communication is stellar throughout the day while our child is in their care and so helpful to ease parent's anxiety. We would definitely recommend Primrose School of 4S Ranch if you are looking for a strong childcare center for your child.”

“My youngest currently attends IPSK and my oldest who is now in Kindergarten graduated from IPSK last June 23'. I am beyond happy, statisfied, and impressed with the education this school provides to the students. I had a parent teacher conference for my kindergardner and the teacher has shared that he is advanced for his age, she can read his writing, stories, and colors beautifully. I have seen alot of improvements on my two boys since they started IPSK in 2021. They learn respect, kindess, discipline and confidence. IPSK also has an annual holiday and end of school program. I love watching their performance to see all the students recite a poem and remember their dance routine at such a young age. We're definitely proud parents. Thank you IPSK!”

“Really good place. The director, teachers are all committed to well being of kids. Although the activities they do with kids could be more, but its overall a great school and day care.”

“We really enjoy this facility. Our son has been attending since he was 15 months and the toddler teachers were so kind, patient and understanding with his transition from staying at home with mom to a full day in the classroom. I love that they prioritize a curriculum while also incorporating art, projects and useful life skills. Kindercare does have an app that updates you throughout the day about your child’s progress and that is just one more plus in knowing your child is safe, comfortable and having fun. The administrative staff are all kind, helpful and welcoming. We really enjoy our time here and can see the difference with our child as he grows. Thanks Kindercare San Carlos!”

“For any parent looking for a new daycare or it's their first time putting their child into one, this is 1000% where you want your children to be. I have nothing but kind words for this facility. Ms. Cristy and all her staff are absolutely amazing. My children have learned so much from all their teachers! Ms. Cristy and Ms. Gricelda have been extremely helpful and understanding of our family financial situation. Anyone can agree that right now is the toughest time to find affordable and reputable daycares, even with having some sort of subsidy. As a parent its hard enough trusting another person with your child's life. From being a stay at home for 3 years to instantly having to put them in someone else's hands. I stand by my word that you can trust everyone at this place. We loved all children's teachers (Ms. Itzel, Ms. Carmen, Ms. Ledy, Ms. Maria, Ms. Tina, Ms. Swapnil ) and appreciate all the hard work they put into teaching our kids such important values and life skills. I am extremely heartbroken to have to leave this place, but if i ever have the opportunity to return. You can fully expect the BERNALS to be back! ABC Family Thank you for everything you have done!”

“My daughter started in the Infant 1 class when she was six months old and it has been so great for her and our family! She LOVES going to "school" and we can thank Ms. Emily and the rest of the Infant 1 teachers for this. It is obvious how much she is loved and cared for, which is really reassuring for a first time mom. We receive updates for every nap, diaper change, bottle/food, and many pictures of our girl throughout the day which is so wonderful! I can't recommend The Vine enough!”

“This school has been amazing for our two kids who have been here since pre-school / 2nd grade. The teachers and staff are all comitted to developing our children both academically and spiritually. The size of the school allows for a great teaching environment. We're so thankful for this amazing school!”

“This school is a gem and such a blessing to my family. My son is now in first grade and has attended since 4 years old. I would say it is a very wholesome, positive, loving and safe environment and we love all of the teachers and staff. They are so kind and seem genuinely happy to be working there. My son looks forward to going to school everyday. Also, I have a teaching background and I feel like the curriculum and academics here are very well balanced - not too lenient or rigorous. Also because of the small class sizes, my son's teachers have been able to focus specifically on his needs. Furthermore, the music teacher Ms Carel is phenomenal and the kids put on several incredible faith based performances every quarter. The principal Ms Tammy has walked us through some tough situations and she has been patient, kind and extends Christ's love genuinely. It's definitely a family feel here and you're lucky if your child gets to attend!”

“Wonderful school in Hillcrest. The teachers are really caring, engaging, and supportive of the young children who attend the school here.We sent both of our daughters here and have ZERO complaints.We will cherish our memories of this school and know our children were prepared for elementary school with a very caring group of teachers during these important developmental years.”

“This place has my heart forever! My daughter attends this school and she is in love Ms Pachuca, Ms Sarah. The entire staff is so kind and have the patience for your child. They helped potty train my daughter. The first couple of weeks were a little hard because she would cry everyday and now she gets up really happy to go to school. I’m glad i enrolled my daughter here I’m very very happy/thankful with everyone here.”

“So glad we had to opportunity to send both our kids to this local montessori program! We loved every minute. The staff is so sweet and affectionate, and very communicative. Our experience with them has been very sommunity building for us. It's a church program but there is no pressure to participate in the church. They have recently had an administrative staff and some teaching staff overhaul, and I am not sure if or how it's affecting the programming, but I have noticed less of a focus on montessori learning, although I still see the materials in the classrooms and I might just be hearning about it less because my youngest just started attending and she's only 2. They also seem to be more affordable than the local competitiion.”

“We are absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Mission Hills Community Preschool. From the moment we walked through the doors, it was clear that this is a truly exceptional place for our child's growth and development.First and foremost, the staff at MHCP is outstanding. The teachers and director are not only highly qualified but also incredibly caring and compassionate. They go above and beyond to create an environment that is not only educational but also nurturing and filled with positivity. It's heartwarming to see how they interact with the children, fostering a sense of belonging and security.One of the things that truly sets MHCP apart is the thoughtful setup of both indoor and outdoor spaces. These spaces are designed to encourage creative exploration and play. It's evident that a lot of care and planning has gone into making sure every corner is an opportunity for learning and fun. What's even more impressive is that they continuously introduce new stations and activities, keeping the children engaged and excited to come to school every day.Our son absolutely adores MHCP and always looks forward to his time there, and that's the greatest testament to its quality. As parents, we have peace of mind knowing that he’s not only safe but also genuinely happy. He’s having fun, getting his hands dirty, making friends, and growing both academically and emotionally.MHCP is more than just a childcare program; it's a place where children thrive. We couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll our son here, and we highly recommend it to any parent looking for a loving and enriching environment for their little ones. Thank you, MHCP, for making a positive impact on our family's life!”

“It is nice to have such a great school to serve PB and for kids from all over who choose to come here for their special music program. The teachers and admin staff have always been so kind and supportive of their students. CPJMA is undergoing a construction project right now so when that's all finished this school will be top tier in the school district. My daughter is lucky to go here.”

“I haven’t been, but I’m sitting in line for In N Out (across the freeway) and noticed THIS!!!! We stan queer friendly churches!!! Happy Pride, y’all!?️‍??❤️?????”

“We enrolled our daughter in two classes at KCC (the baby class and the toddler class.) We had a phenomenal experience in the baby class. Ms. Abby was incredibly warm and loving, an excellent communicator, and we could tell she truly cares about all the children. Our daughter loved it! We highly recommend the infant class. For the toddler class, it is in the process of making some adjustments, there was overall less communication, and some challenges that need to be resolved, however the Director is currently seeking to fix the issues that came up. We have faith in KCC overall to resolve the toddler class issues.”

“Childcare is a difficult job that changes every day. What's important is that the providers truly care about the children and make efforts to solve problems as they arise. Kindercare does that!We especially appreciate our toddler's home room teacher Ms. Grace!”

“I have been at Children of the Rainbow for 23 years. I have worked under three supervisors, which I can only say, I would not want to work under anyone else. I have learned from them all. I have worked with the toddlers, and I enjoy my job. The owner have given me the opportunity to show how I can be an important asset to her company through my experience and longetivity with Children of the Rainbow. My Supervisor Patty has stepped in classrooms when teachers have called out, and have done an excellent job. So for the negativity that has been posted about our school, is not true. Our parents are satisfied with our program, and I hope they will continue to keep their children enrolled.”

“By far the best daycare we've had our children a part of! The progress in their development is clearly visible, daily. The director, Yvette, is such a great person and got our oldest son in very quickly after we had to pull him from another daycare in RB for their lack of supervision and abuse of him. The teachers and all the staff at Merry Go Around are all incredible, friendly and do such an amazing job with our boys. It's very heartwarming to see the amazing job they do here after what we went through at our oldest sons previous daycare. Thank you to everyone at the Merry Go Around for taking great care of our boys!”
