She and the other teachers gave us so much confidence in the care and safety provided each day we dropped our baby off. Our daughter loved the thoughtfully curated story time, the bilingual curriculum, the outside play, and the love from each and every teacher she interacted with. It was so wonderful to receive updates on her day and many pictures/videos of her activities through their app. We would recommend Honeybee to anyone in a heartbeat!

Teacher Sherie Cigar James had a truly positive impact during the three years our son spent at…read moreLittle Seedlings Preschool in Inglewood. Although we moved a few months ago, her influence is something we continue to see as he moves forward into TK. What stood out most to us was how deeply she cared about her students and how intentional she was about making sure they got the absolute most out of their time with her. We also want to recognize the other teachers, Ms. Snobia and Mrs. Cynthia, who were equally loving and caring and helped create such a positive environment for the kids. She had clear goals for what she wanted her students to leave with before graduating from her program. She worked with them on writing their names, counting to 100, learning the days of the week, months, colors, planets, and basic shapes. But what stood out to us was that she cared just as much about social and emotional growth. She spent time helping the kids understand their feelings, talk through emotions, and build confidence alongside academics. Sherie always found ways to make holidays exciting with visits from the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and little moments that made school feel special. There was also so much time for play and being outside, which was something we really valued. Henry spent his days running, exploring, and playing instead of sitting in front of a TV. Outdoor time was clearly something Sherie valued and made part of the daily experience. Her own family has a strong running background, and you could see little pieces of that come through during outdoor time with running drills and active play. Henry absolutely loved it and still loves to run today. We really believe those preschool years helped build his confidence, love of movement, and an active lifestyle. One thing we will never forget is the support she gave to our family during a difficult season. During cancer treatment, some of our appointments were extremely early and far away, and there were days Sherie opened at 5-6am to help support us. That level of care went far beyond preschool. She showed up for our family in ways we'll never forget. We're so grateful Henry had the opportunity to be part of this community. Sherie, Ms. Snobia, and Mrs. Cynthia created memories, built confidence, and gave him such a strong start. To us, they became more than teachers, and we'll always look back on our time at Little Seedlings with so much appreciation and love.

I was on ft w. him one day & she came in to make him do something , he puts the phone down & somehow the facetime ended but was working fine when she wasn't in the room. She wanted me to have to contact HER anytime i wanted to speak / hear from my 9 year old. ( If there was something going on what kid is going to feel comfortable saying it i infront of the adults ) i mentioned the contract stating kids may bring electronics & she said "a phone isn't an electronic it's a phone" so i asked ok why can't he bring his phone because that goes against the contract she said "oh we just don't do phones here" if you want make your rules up as you go along & tell kids / parents phone aren't allowed & contact HAS to go through you then you need to contact me EVERYTIME my son says to contact me ! Example , my son asked if they can ask me if i can bring him some food , i didn't hear anything about it until my son came home hungry asking why i didn't bring him food . she doesn't let you INSIDE THE FACILITY , & still uses covid as an excuse have to take a covid test even infants every week sometimes late picking the children up from Highland . violates her own contract but when asked about certain things her response is always "refer to the contract" when majority of the time she doesn't even abide by HER contract takes off EVERY holiday ( federal , state , city holidays ) & a couple WEEKS off for vacay & any other day she feels for ex ( was closed 2 days for LABOR DAY 7/1/23 & 7/4/23 , closed 11.10 (FRIDAY) for VERTERANS DAY even though veterans day is on the 11th , a SATURDAY , closed 11/22-11/24 3 days for Thanksgiving when single parents like myself still have to work so i was ALWAYS needing to find a plan be for daycare ( will attach photos ) "recommended" we bring the bigger kids lunch during the summer so she didn't have to feed them 9 year old son hadn't been there (because he doesn't like being there ) in over a month & she was still requesting payment claims she's a 24-hour facility on paper but doesn't do evenings or weekends(will attach photos of texts) and claims "no availability" as an excuse. If your not available hire some help that is because you ARE A 24-hour daycare ! contract states school aged children who receive before school care (pick up and drop off) would have breakfast & my son has yet to get breakfast before she drops him off to school . Most daycare are 6a - 6p , but at 5:31 she'll text "your kids are still here" (will attach photos) & charging late fee's when how am i late if you're 24/7 ?

On the recommendation of a friend we visited Growstrong Preschool and 7 years later we are about to…read morehave 2 proud Growstrong graduates! I cannot speak highly enough of Growstrong. It is a small, in-home preschool, that has a maximum of 10 students (~6 more recently), and the teacher, Ms. Yvette, pours into these kids so that they are proud and excited learners and are able to do so much more than you ever imagined a 4 year old could do! When looking for a preschool we wanted a place where we felt our child would be safe, with attentive teachers, not sat in front of a screen all day, he was treated well, and he would learn important socialization skills and basics to ensure that they were ready for kindergarten. Growstrong EASILY checks those boxes and goes far beyond. Our 2nd child will graduate from Growstrong in the fall. Between the two of them we have kids who were reading at a 2nd grade level or higher, adding, subtracting, multiplying, doing word problems, playing chess, reciting the "I Have A Dream" speech and excerpts from King's other works as well as poems by authors like Robert Frost, and doing so much more by the time they leave preschool. And through their entire time there they were treated like family by Ms Yvette--a woman who I have never seen even raise her voice at any of these children despite how crazy they may have been acting--given healthy home cooked meals daily, and respected like real little humans with feelings and independent thoughts. It says a lot that out of my son's class of 5 students, 4 of them are siblings to children who graduated or currently go there. I have also grown to be friends with many of the parents of the children who have attended because we are all similarly invested in our kids and their future and value what Growstrong provides. And all of the kids have always been incredibly sweet. With so many difficult decisions as a parent, selecting Growstrong was easily one of the best ones we have ever made.

Our experience at Highlights has been nothing short of amazing. Over the past four years, my son has absolutely thrived. He's made wonderful friends, learned so much, and constantly surprised us at home with everything he was learning--from his vocabulary and coloring to his alphabet and numbers. He even learned how to count to 10 in Spanish! Miss Jani is truly one of those special teachers who pours her heart and soul into the children in her care. She is attentive, loving, nurturing, and creates an environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. Highlights isn't just a daycare--it truly feels like a community and an extension of your family. If you have the opportunity to have your child cared for by Miss Jani and her team, I genuinely believe they will be set up for success. They'll not only learn and grow academically, but they'll also experience what it feels like to be surrounded by teachers who genuinely care about them and cheer them on every step of the way. We also have a one-year-old daughter who is now in Miss Jani's care, and I'm so grateful that we get to continue our relationship with her and her amazing team. Watching my son transition into TK is definitely emotional, but knowing our daughter is still there makes the transition a little more bearable. 10/10 experience. We are so incredibly grateful for Miss Jani and everyone at Highlights for being such an important part of our family's life for the past four years. We couldn't recommend them more!

The meals are another highlight--breakfast, lunch, and snacks are always fresh, healthy, and varied. Our daughter genuinely enjoys the food, which gives us peace of mind. The daycare hours, from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, are also very working-parent friendly. The flexibility has allowed us to manage our work schedules without compromising our daughter's care. We're so grateful to Mrs. Janaki for creating such a warm, structured, and enriching place for our little one!

!!!Perspective parents, please read!!! If you are thinking…read moreof enrolling your child at Rising Stars Academy, think of it as allowing your children to go and stay at their ghetto cousins' house for the weekend. Meaning: Will they be safe? Yes. Will they be cared for? Yes.Will they meet the learning standards set by the California State Board of Education? Without strong parental guidance, absolutely not. Will your children have fun? Yes. Will they perform memorable performances? Yes. Will they learn curse words? Yes. Will they receive a whooping by a staff member? Possibly. My daughter attended Rising Stars Academy for almost 3 years. It came to an abrupt end over the summer after she was pushed into a door, and I was not notified of the injury until I reached out to the site director directly. Leadership (i.e., Mr. Darren) is sassy, passive-aggressive, and very condescending. Thankfully, you only have to deal with his long, rambling speeches a few times out of the year. The staff there is spread thin (turnover is extremely high). Overall, I don't regret the money I spent on my daughter's education while at Rising Stars Academy. However, I want to warn parents that this is a school that is reminiscent of the projects. Faulty or even nonexistent playground equipment. Mosquito infestations. Peeling paint. Dark and dingy bathrooms. We stayed as long as we did because of the teachers. There were teachers there who really cared about my daughter, and she had positive experiences that made the good worth balancing out the bad for a long time. However, after she was hurt and I was not notified, the negative started to outweigh the good, and ultimately, that was enough for us to leave. Proceed with caution.
