Every once in awhile you will get a short notice announcement, but other than that they are pretty much on the ball. From the looks of the other schools around the area, Stanford is one of the better ones. I'm basing this judgment on the overall school ratings and the upkeep of the school grounds. Standford is also connected to the Standford Kids Club so morning and afternoon school care is very easy. Before and after class the staff will walk the kids over to the facility so they can wait for their parents to be picked up.

This is a high quality education with a high level of care for a very affordable price.

I highly recommend this school to parents who value education and quality care for their kids. Our…read moredaughter had been going there since preschool and she just finished Kindergarten. She LOVES all of her teachers: Ms. Sam and Ms. Tina. We noticed a huge improvement during the first couple of months after transferring her here from another pre-school. She barely knew her Alphabets at the time, but after only a few months, she was able to read a few simple words. Mrs. Lee, the principal, told us when we enrolled our daughter that she would be able to read and write by the time she finishes her Pre-K and honestly I was a little skeptical then. However, she was right! By the time our daughter graduated from Kindergarten, she was able to read at a 2nd grade level and pretty much done with her 1st grade math curriculum. Besides focusing on academia, the teachers and the principal gave their students many opportunities to play, do their arts and crafts, dance and perform on stage. Their tuition even included weekly Taekwondo lessons. The school also organized additional fun activities with outside vendors such as mobile petting zoo, field trips etc. All the kids got to perform on stage twice a year (at Christmas and graduation ceremony) and we enjoyed watching all of them so much. It was incredible to see how the little ones were able to learn and do so much more than we thought . Ms. Sam is the sweetest, most energetic and effective teacher we have ever known. She is definitely loved by all of her students. We are glad that we have decided to keep her there for her Kindergarten year as I was tempted to put her in a tuition-free public school. In our opinion, it was worth it to pay for the additional year due to the invaluable lessons and experiences the school offered. Now we wish this school offered higher grade levels so we can keep sending her there. This is a Christian-based school. Even though we are not Christians, we are glad that they teach the kids to be grateful, kind, loving and be aware of God's presence. They learn to be thankful to all the blessed things they have. They learn The Pledge of Allegiance and national anthems of the U.S. which are all great things to help building a child's ethical and moral values. Garden Grove 1st Preschool and Kindergarten has really exceeded our family's expectations. We truly can't thank the teachers, Mrs. Lee and the staffs enough! We are forever grateful for their hard-work and support.

The teachers are just amazing and truly care for their students.
