All of the teachers are professional, caring, and truly passionate about what they do. They genuinely care about the children and treat them with so much kindness and patience. My boys came home after their very first day excited and couldn't wait to go back the next day. I was amazed that my oldest even came home knowing how to write his name! A special thank you to Ms. Cecy and Ms. Irma--they are two of the best teachers. Their dedication, love, and support have made such a positive impact on my boys. I highly recommend SAGA to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and nurturing environment for their children.

Emily and her team always found time to snap cute and adorable pictures of our little one and let us know how she was doing through out the day. It really helped us be at ease knowing that our baby was enjoying her day. If anything urgent popped up, Emily was fast to let us know! Every pick up always included an end of day summary with the events that transpired that day. As first time parents, it was critical to have someone like Emily and team on our side to help us navigate this journey. We will forever be indebted to Emily, Rosie, and Maya for all their hard work in helping raise our little one.

Additionally, we're very happy with his speech development and his social skills. I'm grateful to them for taking care of our little one. We're glad to know that he was in great hands here.

We absolutely love Kidtown USA! My son has been attending since he was about 1.5 years old, and now…read moreat 3 years old, I can truly say this daycare has played such a positive role in his growth and development. The teachers are incredible--patient, caring, and genuinely invested in each child. They've helped my son learn so much, from social skills to early learning basics, and I always feel confident knowing he's in a safe and nurturing environment. It's clear they really take the time to know each child individually, which means so much to us as parents. Another huge plus is how convenient and well-organized everything is. They provide meals and nap time for the kids, which takes so much stress off busy parents. All we need to send are extra clothes (just in case of accidents), a bed sheet and blanket for nap time, and a water bottle. Overall, Kidtown USA feels like a second home for my son. Seeing him happy, comfortable, and excited to go each day says everything. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a caring, supportive, and structured environment for their little ones!

We are so grateful to have found and be a part of the MAOD community!…read more Where to begin with my review- I'll start from the beginning, after touring several pre-schools in the area, my husband and I were convinced MAOD would be the best choice for our daughter. From the very beginning when inquiring about information on enrollment and space we were always greeted courteously and warmly by the school's administrator, Veronica. Setting up our initial tour of the school was easy and we appreciated that we got a tour from one of the teachers who would be working with our 4 year old, so it was nice getting to know her a bit and asking her questions. During the tour, it was great being able to see all aspects of the school not just the areas assigned to their pre-k students but also where the infant area is, the kitchen where lunches/snacks are prepped the restrooms, playground, classrooms- everything! We also had the opportunity to ask questions about the schools teaching methods, curriculum, and experience of the teachers with Montessori so upon all of this, my husband and I made the decision to enroll our little one at MAOD. After 5-6 months of enrollment, we really are very satisfied in having brought our daughter here. It wasn't a smooth transition, there were days/weeks with lots of tears at drop off, but her teachers were patient and flexible with her needs, and I am happy to say she is doing great now. We love that the classes are small and there are two teachers per pre-k class. As parents we get a monthly newsletter with what's to come for the month and I always look forward to seeing her interpretations of different artists for "artist of the month" and hearing from her what she learned in school everyday. Most of the teachers are bilingual so it was a huge plus for us as our daughter is primarily a Spanish speaker which brings me to my next huge plus- in a matter of just a few months her English has improved significantly! We are amazed at how much English she speaks now compared to when she started. One of the other big pluses about MAOD is their incorporation of Montessori principles and we always love seeing when the kids are learning by doing. Her teachers, Ms. Patty and Ms. Sinttia are truly wonderful! They both have their special way of connecting and nurturing each student based on their needs, we truly appreciated how they each adapted to our daughter's needs as she transitioned into school full time. My daughter loves them both and won't stop talking about them at home. The app the school uses to communicate with parents is great too, I love that teachers update with pictures and important announcements consistently. Overall, we would definitely recommend MAOD to anyone looking to enroll their child in a ECE program. So much so that we will definitely be bringing our little one here when they are old enough to enroll in the future. I hope this review will encourage other potential families to check out MAOD, as we believe that it is a truly nurturing and caring environment for little ones as they begin their early childhood education. Thank you, Ms Veronica, Ms. Patty, Ms. Sinttia, and all the teachers and staff who have made this experience wonderful!

Update: My daughter was recently transitioned into the next age-level class with Ms. Ale, Ms. Asil,…read moreand Ms. Jasmine, and I can't express how happy I continue to be with this school and all the teachers we've come across. I was a little nervous about the transition at first, but the teachers are so kind and caring that it quickly put me at ease. My daughter had been struggling with her speech very early on, and since moving into this next age group she has continued to blossom even more. All of the teachers genuinely care, you can truly feel it, and it shows in the kids. Even though she is still new to the school setting, her transition into the new class was very smooth. Ms. Ale also incorporates home projects, which I really appreciate. As busy parents, it's a nice reminder to pause and spend quality one-on-one time with our little ones, nurturing their creativity and helping them grow. We've really enjoyed the first two projects and I'm grateful for the opportunity to slow down and focus on that special time together.

My husband and I decided that my daughter was not yet ready to attend an all-day Pre-K. She had a…read morespeech delay and had trouble asking for help and letting her needs be known. She was also not yet independently using the restroom among various other concerns. In our search, we visited various schools, some that we were highly impressed with. We were hesitant to use a home-based school, but decided to visit anyway. Upon meeting Mrs. Valerie, we were immediately put at-ease. She listened to our concerns and never made us feel as though our daughter was behind; we could tell right away that she understood kids and that she truly cared and was knowledgeable about their development. She was open and honest in her communication and was just a very warm and welcoming person in general. During her year there, our daughter learned so much! I don't mean an academic focus (which is still there) but in other ways; she's now more social, independent, and her communication skills have improved. In fact, during her IEP with the district, we were told she no longer qualified for services and they asked us what school she had attended. They were surprised with how much progress she had made in one year. I can confidently say that the majority of her progress is due to Mrs. Valerie. We will be forever grateful that we got be a part of Schoolhouse Downey.

Mrs. Valerie has tons of experience with preschool kiddos, they are always doing fun crafts and outdoor/play activities. And on top of that, she has a very organized and impressive curriculum, so this is not "just a daycare". My daughter loves that she gets to dance, do yoga, eat yummy pasta and play with her friends every week! And as a parent, of course the number one concern is safety, and I feel truly blessed that I know she is in good hands and that she is 100% safe with Mrs. Valerie. I am also thankful for Mrs. Valerie's support and special attention as my daughter transitioned out of pull ups and began learning English (we speak a different language at home). We recently went on a two week vacation (that was filled with beach and pool days, everyday!) and she asked several times when she goes back to Mrs. Valerie, so she definitely is doing everything right at Schoolhouse! Mrs. Valerie is a very supportive and caring teacher, and I highly recommend her.

Chalco Family Daycare…read more.. The biggest blessing to our family! I can only say positive things about Diocelina and Fortunato. When I found myself in the position of having to utilize childcare, I was scared and felt very insecure as all loving parents would. My expectations were high and continue to be. My husband and I visited several places close to home (Bellflower), but something inside me told me none of them were up to par. My last stop was further away from home, in Downey, where I came to meet the Chalco Family. Since I walked in I knew this was the daycare I was looking for, and 3 years later still have no regrets. The smell of homemade meals as soon as you walk in at 7:30a.m. assures me my kids will enjoy a healthy and delicious meal. Their care and attention to my needs for each of my FOUR kids is priceless!!! They are dependable when my kids need help with hw or need to study for a test. The kids have enjoyed their summer break each year because Diocelina and Fortunato always have the pool ready :) It is so satisfying seeing your kids excited about going to daycare when you don't have the option of staying home with them. My baby who will soon be 4 years old took his first steps AND was potty trained while in their care...priceless!!! The list can go on forever...I cannot thank them enough for all they have done for our family. May God continue to bless you enormously Mama Nina and Freddy!!! -The Mendoza Family
