She absolutely adored her teachers and learned so much during her time there--from writing, reading, math, and science to learning about artists and recreating their work in their own styles. It was amazing to see how excited she became about learning and how much she genuinely looked forward to going to school. The school fostered independence and respect. The classrooms were always tidy, and the teachers taught the children to take responsibility for cleaning up after themselves, practice good table manners, care for their environment, and respect their classmates and teachers. The structure and routines prepared her well for elementary school, and she developed so much confidence along the way. The teachers at MKLA care deeply about the kids, and the knowledge, encouragement, and confidence they gave her will stay with both her and us always. We are incredibly thankful to her teachers for their patience and encouragement during such an important stage of her life.

My daughter has attended the school for over three years and I have seen how much she's grown academically. Lailta who is the owner / director takes great pride in her school and the teachers she hires . Finding a school that takes pride in these two things is a hard find these days. My daughter and son took part in the full time daycare will always recommend Mrs. Lailta's school to anyone looking for quality daycare.

My husband and I made the tough decision to move our toddler from the daycare he had known since he…read morewas 6 months old to Monty's Montessori. We noticed at the last daycare, he would come home irritable have excessive rashes, dirty, along with staff communication issues, screaming at drop off, dirty/broken equipment, and so many other issues. Immediately at Monty's, we noticed a difference. The teachers are very clear, caring, and sincere. The equipment is so well maintained and shared well with classmates. Now both of my sons attend Monty's and my toddler sprints to class every morning. My infant is always smiling when he sees his teachers and both classrooms have great communication. Any questions or concerns we had out of curiosity has been answered by the front office and everyone has been extremely polite. We love how engaged the staff is with the families and how receptive our kids have responded to the changes. Our only regret is not having moved our toddler sooner and to join the Monty family years ago!

(director jaimie & office secretary angelina) we had been previously pulled into the office and accused of non payment of an obscure amounts of $ equaling multiple weeks of tuition (total of $3,189) though upon back checking bank statements i was able to provide proof of not only all completed payments but multiple overcharges aswell, when provided with all of these documents ( backdated to our 1stday of registration up to current day) we were immediately met with not only hostility but a huge lack of accountability from the office staff as to where the miscommunication and or differentiating amounts had stemmed from as all childrens accounts must be enrolled through autopay upon registration through the brightwheel app. we were never given an explanation as to why we were ever overcharged and had to communicate with office staff in order to resolve all over payment issues also. following this incident not only we were continuously met with hostility from montys staff, but multiple times our kindergartener over heard private conversations pertaining to said issues being discussed openly and loudly between school staff aswell as mrs. jaimies husband. ( who turns out is not a listed employee of school, despite being on campus consistently) upon submitting our kindergartners 2 week notice (postdated for Dr.Lisa Gilfillan) we were immediately met with texts / messages from both angelina and jaimie pertaining to details stated specifically in notice. all accounts had again since been confirmed as paid and up to date, all bank statements were mailed and received, though just two days prior to our daughters last day with montys we were notified via email that if we did not submit the final payment amounts in cash / in office they would then withhold our daughters kindergarten academic records. following this email i again messaged, emailed and mailed all bank statements and proof of payment from brightwheel to montys academy aswell as dr. lisa gilfillan to which we recieved zero responses. go charter, go homeschool, go elsewhere! entire experience has been rather unfortunate as we had very high hopes for both montys and the staff.

We were very nervous but knew the many advantages my daughter would reap from the experience... From the tour, my daughter and I fell in love!!! We were able to observe all the classrooms in action. Even the littles were doing arts and crafts! It was a beautiful sight. We patiently waited for her start date. And in August 12, 2024, we finally got a spot! Ms Daisy is her teacher and she's a true gift! My daughter has a lot of energy and was not used to a structured setting. But Ms Daisy has been patient and empathetic as my daughter became acclimated to this new environment. Every night, my daughter organizes her school uniform, and every morning she wakes me up excited to head to school. She comes home and shows her work with pride. She even gets excited to do her homework. My daughter absolutely loves Young Scholars and loves Ms Daisy! (The third week of August, one week after my 3 year old started), we were soooo fortunate that a spot was available for our 18 month old daughter. Before we inquired about availability, we never planned to enroll our baby girl in day care that young. But we saw how happy our 3 year old was and knew Young Scholars would be a good place for our baby to grow up at. Ms Cynthia has came into our lives as the baby's teacher, and has been a light! From enrollment, I addressed my daughter's speech as an area of concern. Both Ms Rosie and Ms Cynthia have taken the time to observe and unofficially have shared their observations. I say unofficially because providing recommendations takes time and progress reports are their "official" findings... I'm a special education teacher, I'm well aware that a school can't diagnose a child nor can they give recommendations right away. It's vital to gather data, especially when my daughter is still developing. but in the meantime, I appreciate the updates! It makes me feel heard as a concerned parent... My baby girl has been going to young scholars for one month now and this baby is making strides!! Before Ms Cynthia came into our lives, my baby would wave to signal hi/bye, she'd point when she wanted something, and would cry out of frustration when attempting to converse with us. Now, she's saying "bye-bye," "help me," "please," "agua," and the list continues!! Although my baby's speech is not where a typical 19 month baby should be, she's making growth and that's a celebration to us!! She's showing confidence when she speaks and puts effort when attempting words. I love that she gets homework because it reinforces the skills Ms Cynthia is teaching. My baby enters the classroom and greets Ms Cynthia with a hug, that shows the love and trust she has in her. & I can't forget about Ms Jobana, who's been an angel with my girls! Ms Jobana is another teacher and also supports during day care hours. My daughters usually close out the day with her, and She's so sweet and attentive! I love this place so much! This is a great place for kids to learn and grow! As an educator, I know how underpaid and challenging this job is. I love that Ms Daisy and Ms Cynthia put love into their job and it reflects on my daughter's happiness. This isn't just a school/day care, it's a second home for our kids. I'm so grateful that the universe put this school in our paths because we feel right at home.

After reading Tisha R's review, it became apparent she either suffers from amnesia or simply lacks…read moreany sort of self awareness. Given her unbelievably unhinged behavior IN FRONT OF CHILDREN and my personal experience with Young Scholar, I feel it is my moral responsibility to share what I witnessed and my personal experience with Young Scholar. A few weeks ago, I entered the school and immediately became concerned when I heard screaming. I quickly dropped my son off at his class to ensure the safety of those involved. Tisha seems to have forgotten the part when she disregarded innocent children and found it appropriate to scream at staff, belittle them, and smack items off the shelf and onto the ground. I'm baffled that this woman is more concerned with limiting screen time than modeling healthy and appropriate interactions. One ought to be more concerned with modeling good character. My son has attended this school for nearly two years and came highly recommended by a family member. Before enrolling at Young Scholar, my son was diagnosed with a speech delay. I made Ms. Rosie (THE OWNER) aware of this. The diagnosis filled me with anxiety and she handled it with sensitivity, respect, and care. She provided me with additional resources and ideas. She even requested his treatment plan to implement in the classroom. His speech quickly exploded and progressed more than it had after months in therapy. I credit Young Scholar for his progress. I find it hard to believe Ms. Rosie would ever address this sort of concern in the callous way Tisha described. It took him a short while to acclimate and there were difficult mornings. Ms. Cynthia was eager to integrate him and held him when necessary. My son is resistant to naps but she tamed that beast too. Working remotely allowed me the flexibility to pop in whenever I wanted and I rarely observed an iPad being used. They are occasionally utilized during free time and outside curriculum hours. Additionally, whenever a child receives a scrape or bump, parents are given a report and explanation as to how the injury occurred. We are asked to sign the report and the incident is put in a file. Also, the ADMIN she referred to is named Ms. Mari. My son would kidnap her and keep her forever if he could. Not only is she fantastic with the kids but you can see the love in her eyes when she speaks of them. Ms. Mari is the type of person you want to be friends with and I sincerely enjoy her beyond the care she provides to my son. Ms. Rosie is the owner. She can't provide information for a superior that does not exist. I hope this parent takes time to reflect on her conduct and takes accountability for her actions. Nothing she described warranted the behavior I witnessed.

The teachers are intentional and thoughtful about what they teach. It is the perfect mix of academics, fine motor skills, and manners. My daughter learned a lot, and I felt like I got to be part of her thriving here. Teacher Marissa, Teacher Brooke, and Director Gloria made a huge impact on our daughter and set the bar very high. I wish she could have stayed there through high school. These educators have hearts of gold. As a first time mom I always wanted to know how her day was going, and they kept me informed so I felt right there with her. I received photos every day and used them as talking points to hear my daughter's perspective on her day. She is now in kindergarten and thriving because this academy invested in her. This was not just a school. It was a community. I recommend Mesa Grande Children's Center to anyone who wants a loving environment, strong structure, and hands on learning for their little ones.

The Director was nothing more then professional and welcoming. She allowed our child to play in the playground while she sat with us and talked. I could tell that just as we were interviewing her, she was also evaluating and observing our child and us as parents. This detail to attention and how well kept the facilities were is what lead us to enrolling our daughter. Each classroom has an accredited teacher and an aide (or TA) so we knew that the classrooms had a small student to teacher ratio, great when you have high expectations that the school will be teaching as opposed to just providing playtime for your child. Our teacher and aide knew our child very well, and could explain our child's academic progress and personal growth whenever we dropped by with concerns or just plain curiosity. As previously mentioned, the facilities are well kept and the classroom sizes are small. They respect child allergies and encourage parent participation. I never felt like FLCC was pushing their religious beliefs on the children, but was appreciative of the fact that they invited or included us in their many weekend and after school activities. If you are looking for a Children's Center that will give your child an academic edge, especially if your path is private education, then this is the place for you in Redlands. Their tuition prices are comparable to other centers in the area, but what makes FLCC stand out is the staff's warm, caring and attentive desire to see each child succeed.

As a Christian, I do not write this easily of anyone who seems to be doing God's work. But, the church's leaders have been planning for over a year to close the school but did not inform the staff, parents or congregation. Two weeks before they decided to close, when they had done all their planning, they decided to tell everyone. They made up a story that it was due to Covid and then later admitted it was a long time in the planning. The loyal staff were not given adequate time to prepare their families for this loss of income. The loyal parents were not even given an audience. When staff and parents asked to speak with leadership they were denied. No true Christian would do this, much less without even offering an audience to the offended parties. Don't go to this church, don't send your kids to this school. This church is posing as Christian but is actually run by the Lost and do not seek to live their lives and run their church and businesses the pure Christian way.
