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.

“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.

“"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."”

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!”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“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....”

“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+.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“They took care of our son from 9 months old to 2 years old. He had been somewhat traumatized at his previous daycare (crying every day at drop off and pick up), and yet he loved coming here since day 1. Bright Futures had just opened the infant room and so our son was only the second baby there. It was maybe a leap of faith but we immediately felt we could trust them with our baby. The room is brand new, clean, and organized. Director Tiffany takes extra care of the infant room and our baby was surrounded by loving teachers all the time. We are switching now because we want to be closer to home and not take the 710 every day, but at the new daycare, they were surprised to notice how well-socialized and well-mannered our son was. Obviously, they did a great job of teaching him social skills. Our son especially enjoyed the front yard where he could ride the tricycle for hours, the water days in the summer when they play in the water, and sometimes they would let him hang with the older kids which is proven to be beneficial for development. They use an app to communicate with parents so we would get pictures of him and updates every day. Also, they provide meals which is a huge help for working parents. Thank you thank you for taking care of our baby!”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“One of the best colleges that is just right for us international students who would need an edge on having knowledge regarding business and real estate. The staff and professors are very approachable and the curriculum are at par with the colleges around LA. Good atmosphere for students!”

“I would like to take a minute to Thank all of Little Lamb Christian Preschool staff for helping me when my daughter started day care. Unfortunately, we moved away from Little lamb Preschool and needed to relocate. Little lamb Christian staff helped my daughter and I so much!!! My daughter has come a long way and thanks to Little Lamp staff. All the teachers are amazing. Mrs. Ana is such a sweetheart and when I had questions or concerns she will always be there to support. I will always be grateful for Little Lamb Christian Preschool.”

“We LOVE Parkcrest!!! The teachers show such love and gentleness to my boy. Ms Jen and Ms Chelsey have been so wonderful and treat my son as if he were their own. My son loves going to school and has made so many sweet friends. We are so thankful we found Parkcrest Preschool!”

“You will NEVER find a better Preschool than GVCP. I attended there in the 70's and I didn't hesitate to enroll both of my children years later. They helped set them on the right path for both their education and their spirit. I have some of the best friends ever that were met at this school. Do you and your children a great service and enroll them as soon as possible.”

“Such an amazing school! Brought my son here and immediately felt welcomed and good vibes. He was here for a year before he started 1st grade and loved it, he started 1st grade at his new school as an advanced student and was taught things that the other kids didn’t know yet. They would also do several fun activities like petting zoos, magic shows, etc 100% recommend!”
