What I love most about this program is the opportunity for the parents to get involved and to get to know other families and parents in the community. I hear from other parents who don't have access to a tot lot that they feel disconnected from their kids learning, don't know who their friends are, never get to know the parents, and feel like a passive participant, but this program is a real unique opportunity to connect with your child and actively be a part of their school experience. I really enjoy the monthly field trips that parents get to attend (sometimes with siblings) and the many many festive parties and celebration!

Our teacher friends in the Cerritos area strongly recommended New Life as the best in the area. We…read morechecked out several other places and first off, New Life is comparatively inexpensive. The staff invited us to visit and showed us around during a typical school day. So, I made the inevitable trek to the school in the wee hours of the morning on registration day (some people had literally camped out in the parking lot to get a spot) and, after arriving at 4:30AM for a 7AM registration, got our son into the 3-year old preschool class for the 2011-2012 school year. We've been quite pleased. The staff is quite loving and you can tell they genuinely care about the kids. They encourage respect and following rules, etc. but there is always a very tangible sense of affection and kindness that they show the kids- and they encourage kids to do the same. Our son has really come along socially (which was our primary objective, along with things like learning to color in lines and cut with scissors.) This is not so much an academically-oriented preschool in terms of getting your kids ready to take the SAT by age 5, and we like the emphasis on hands-on, artistic (music, art projects, etc.) and physical play time as well. We're not particularly religious but, it's "Christian lite", you know, coloring pictures of angels, a bit of bible stories, nothing too in-your-face. We appreciate the fact that our son knows that Jesus died on cross on Good Friday but on Easter Sunday, the Easter Bunny comes. And that Christmas Day celebrates the birth of Santa. It's been a very positive experience and our son has definitely enjoyed his time, making friends and becoming much more confident/mature. Highly recommended.

PSA to all parents who have (1) neurodivergent children and/or (2) children who have medical…read morenecessities, stay far away from New Life in Artesia/Cerritos. Please also look the 1 & 2 star reviews for New Life Community Church under Yelp (some of which dates to over 6-15 years ago, which means this congregation/administration at New Life is complicit). They're unequipped to provide adequate care for your children nor keep your children safe. The head of the children's ministry, Tina Tribolet, who oversees New Life Preschool and their summer program Connecting Kids, is beyond rude as an educator and quite frankly shame on New Life for allowing her position as the children's pastor. Tina Tribolet removed my neurodivergent child from attending New Life under the pretense and I quote her verbatim that New Life is "not able to provide aid for such mental retardation." This statement from her left me in complete horror and shock. It worries me deeply that New Life has appointed a person that would make such a statement as the children's pastor and head of the children's ministry. (1) To parents with neurodivergent children, do not let Tina Tribolet groom you or your children into thinking your children is a problem that they're not. Her staff is uneducated and unequipped to guide your children with empathy and will isolate them as problematic. The children's ministry that oversees New Life Preschool and Connecting Kids does not allow for diversity and inclusion as they claim on the New Life website. I also question the credibility of Tina Tribolet in general as her staff Miss Luna left me a voicemail 2 hours prior to our conversation that completely contradicts her accusations towards my child. In the voicemail, Miss Luna stated my child was doing great that day with much improvement. Interestingly enough, I receive a call a bit later from Tina making wild accusations and that my child is no longer welcomed at New Life. It was during this conversation that Tina stated New Life no longer receives funding for my child's "mental retardation." Parents, I urge you to not subject your children to the scrutiny of her questionable ethics and practices. (2) To parents with children with medical conditions, there is a huge gap in staff to student ratio. Which needs to be brought to attention as they have one of the bigger facilities and play area in the nearby cities. Moreover, the staff that actually watches and interacts with the children are very young themselves. The staff evidently lacks teaching experience and leadership skills, which are both crucial to make fair judgement and compassionate support for our children. During bubble/water play day, my child bumped into another child as he caught bubbles/soap in his eyes and could not see. The other child, who has a history of seizures, ultimately fell and hit his head. From my conversation with Miss Taylor Harrison the day after, I want to make it very clear that there was no staff that actually witnessed this NOR was nearby to help the children. As a result, Miss Taylor scapegoated my child in what it seems as an attempt to avoid liability. My child said non of the staff questioned or even attempted to ask him what happened, and immediately pointed fingers at my child and punished him for their inability to maintain a controlled environment. After leaving New Life, my child was enrolled in a different facility right away and I received no complaints. The educator that runs the new facility said she had no idea what Tina Tribolet was talking about in regard to my child's behavior. Apparently New Life has a running reputation for how young and untrained their staff is. I have been meeting moms after moms that have had similar experiences with Tina Tribolet and cannot believe her rudeness and absolute audacity. I wish I knew about this before enrolling my child into New Life and I hope no other children come close to how badly Tina Tribolet made me, my child, and all other parents/children I've spoken to felt.

There was a point where my son was starting to cry when he was going to the school due to a child hitting but in communicating with the teacher and trying some solutions and moving/speaking with kids, he was a happy camper within a week. My oldest participates in the After school program which is AMAZING! Mr. Vincent helps my son with his homework and is very patient. I go over all his homework and make sure all is completed and correct. I like that there are young educated adults who are the leaders for the summer and after school programs. He also loves the extra curriculum activities that FECC offers and we pay for. Both of my sons enjoy playing and making friends with kids at FECC. These same kids go to school and/or play recreational sports with such as flag football, soccer, baseball, karate, etc so it is always nice to see the kids and parents at FECC. Small community. I highly recommend this place. I just wish they had the program last for students passed 6th grade. :( Other than that, I love this place.

I pulled her out of the summer program after only 5 days of attendance and after $$500 plus dollars…read morespent. Half of the summer fee was $725 which I paid 2 weeks prior to the program start date. My 6 year old daughter came home every day telling me how the "teachers" yell at the kids and say things such as "deal with it", and "that's not my problem". Now I don't even speak to my child that way. Another incident was my daughter told me that one of the "teachers" grabbed her arm and told her to throw her trash away. Totally unacceptable. How about I grab one of them?! Though they were fully staffed, they staff all seemed very young and inexperienced. Each day I went to pick up my daughter, I could never find her. The staff did not know who she was (mind you she was probably one of the few children there without a chinese last name- and my daughter is half chinese). The posted "schedule" was never correct so it would usually take me 10 minutes or so to locate my child. I was frazzled each time thinking she was kidnapped or lost (the facility is located at a church which is wide open to the parking lot and a main street). After dealing with the director and her assistant, I was even more displeased at how unprofessional and uncaring they were about the situation when I explained why we were leaving. They basically did not care and their attitude proved it. If you read my other reviews, you'll see that I mostly post when I'm happy, but seeing that nobody else commented about this place I feel like I would be doing a disservice by not sharing my bad experience. This place is a church hosting a summer program. Don't let it fool you.
