The teachers, like Ms. Doona and Ms. Lauren, are beyond wonderful - they're patient and caring. The place is a kid's dream school. Not only do they have four playgrounds that keep things exciting, but the kids also get to ride ponies, brush goats, and pet piglets! They also have some sandpits. You might find your child's clothes a bit messy at pickup, but the joy and laughter on their faces are so worth it! What's really cool is the monthly photo thing they do. I was told that by the time your kiddo graduates, you get this adorable album of all their preschool memories. My kid loves this place. Sometimes she even wants to stay longer when I pick her up early.

A Truly Special Daycare - A Blessing for Our Family…read more Our two children (ages 2 and 4) have been attending Mrs. Kiza's daycare for some time now, and we can honestly say she has been a true blessing to our family. From the moment we met her, it was clear how deeply she cares for each child. Our son began with limited speech, and within just a few months under Mrs. Kiza's care and encouragement, he was speaking with confidence. Our daughter has flourished as well--family and friends are constantly amazed by her vocabulary and how expressive she is for her age. One of the biggest signs of how much our kids love being there? The daily struggle at pickup time! They never want to leave, often kicking and screaming because they've had such a great day. Even at home, they can't stop talking about Mrs. Kiza and their experiences at daycare. Before finding her, we had tried a larger daycare, but it was a completely different experience. Our son was often sick and didn't receive the attention he needed--he was just a number. With Mrs. Kiza, every child is loved and seen. She even checks in after hours or when the kids miss a day to make sure they're doing okay. That kind of care and thoughtfulness is rare. As a mom with high anxiety, it means the world to me to have someone I trust so completely. Mrs. Kiza puts my mind at ease every day. If your kids don't want to leave at pickup time, that's the best sign that something truly special is happening. She is a Godsend and loves our babies just like we do.

My review is specifically being written for awareness towards current families also future families…read moreconsidering ABC Learning Childcare. Perspective: My children were enrolled a total of 9 months. During which time COVID policy did not allow for parents to shadow or understand how a typical day is run through free play, instruction and curriculum. This policy had always upset me considering my oldest is 2 and youngest 5+ months during the time of enrollment. I will separate my personal opinion and a more constructive business oriented review to ensure as much transparency as possible. Personal Review: Specific to the general well being and care for my children, Mrs. Kiza treated my daughters with love respect. Business Review: For the first initial 3-4 months I did not worry about the health and safety of my children. However it was not until about the 4 month mark when things started to change. We were notified about my youngest daughter having sweaty palms - to which Mrs. Kiza inferred it is related to a heart condition and that we should have her checked by her pediatrician. In my opinion, this should never have been said let alone warranted. It's not like she is a doctor. Another setback seemed to be a repetitive theme of negativity when mom and dad were picking up children from school and Mrs. Kiza seemed to focus on bad behaviors rather then providing even some small wins throughout the day. It just seemed negative. We understand that the toddler stage is rough, and I'm not naive to think my kids are any different. However, small wins and positivity can go much further then focusing on the negatives. I was also highly discouraged when I discovered much older children were also present and parents were not given awareness or notified on the possibility of older and younger children being social with one another. My perspective for this is that 5-6grader (boys) should not be near a two year old or younger for that matter. We were told that the two co-horts were separated, however I will never know for certain. Lastly, and most importantly, for which I'm writing this review; ABC Learning is in breach of contract. At anytime, current parents while thinking they have childcare service secured, could be terminated at a moments notice. We were given 10 days notice that we were being asked to find alternative means of childcare. We asked if it was health related or behavioral and we were told that it was neither. Therefore, this was a PERSONAL decision made by Mrs. Kiza which affected my family, and as a result the need to write my review. I hope to bring awareness for the other families to consider since red flags like this is important to understand context especially when children are being displaced and impacted. Please consider this as an for example for potential families looking to explore childcare services provided by ABC Childcare.

It's a tight knit family here, and you definitely see it shine through. They have put together such endearing events during the time we've been here - Easter egg hunting, Mother's Day brunch, Valentine's Day, etc. I highly highly recommend this daycare if you're looking for a local one!

I toured this center in November and have been impressed every day since…read more My husband had been a stay at home dad for my son's first 2 years and I November he started a new job that made it impossible for him to tour the daycare during the week. He wanted to tour it and when I explained that the separation from his son was going to be difficult on both my son and husband, the center's wonderful director, Miss Jennifer, called the owner, Miss Millie, who agreed to give us a private tour on the weekend. When I told my husband he was ecstatic that he could see first hand where I was touring. My son is as strong willed and stubborn as.... me :-) He had a difficult time adjusting originally but the teachers all tried their best to calm him and offer suggestions to me so that drop off went smoothly. It took a month, but now my son is gleeful when we drive up, runs to hug his teacher when we walk on, and then turns to me and waves goodbye. The most comforting feeling in the world is knowing that at the end of the day he says "mama, fun at school" and tells me about the park and painting and snacks. And when I ask if he wants to come again tomorrow he lights up and shouts "Yes"! I know he is safe and I appreciated that they have gone the extra mile, even to the point of calling me to share in small successes like my son napping for the first time there after he had refused the first few weeks. And his lack of sleep was increasing his monster-esk attitude. Plus, the cameras allow my husband to see our son when he works long hours and doesn't get to see him for days at a time. I could not imagine anywhere else being as kind, thoughtful, and caring. They are truly amazing teachers who are helping to mold our little ones into the leaders of tomorrow through a well developed balance of curriculum and play. From my whole family.... Thank you Children's Lighthouse.

The front desk is rude and obviously annoyed at anyone coming in for information. I would never put my youngest child here based off the initial demeanor of the front desk staff. Sorry for making you hit your button to simply unlock the door for information. I visited other schools and found some other really nice options what won't harm my child's wellbeing. If your kid is currently enrolled here, get them out before it's too late! The animosity here isn't normal for preschools.

While the facility is brand new and very clean, the rest of the care here is severely lacking. Each…read moreday, there is a report that comes out about the child's day - what they ate, whether they napped or not, and general information about activities. The teacher, Ms. K, kept filling out that our child was eating ALL of the food provided but he would deny that, saying he didn't like the food. We kept asking for an accurate report of what he would eat so we can plan accordingly and if needed bring in other foods. After the next two days of false reporting and not getting any accurate information from the teacher, we started packing foods for him to take. The facility then told us that they were offering him his foods but he would be starving at the end of the day and his lunch box would still be FULL, not one item eaten. After the fourth day of him not getting enough food and being extremely cranky at pickup, we got fed up and insisted that they ensure he eats, especially since we are providing an entire lunchbox for him daily. We packed him extra food for his fifth day just to ensure he would get enough throughout the day and they offered it all to him for BREAKFAST so when it came time for lunch, he again did not get adequate intake. Throughout this whole process, they DID NOT CARE, they kept saying it was an "accident" or that they would work on it making sure everything accurate. But just like anything, when it's starts on lies, it's hard to believe anything else. We had to involve RCOE and RCOE ended up filing a report with CPS over neglect and false reporting. The police were informed and the case is being investigated. Due to these concerns, we decided to remove him from the school for his safety. Even with everything that has happened, the school refused to be flexible on their 4 week cancellation policy and are insisting that we pay for the remainder of the month even though he will not be there. There is no understanding, just another money hungry facility.

Not only did she catch up but is doing awesome at kindergarten because of the time she had at Promise. I cant praise them enough! The fact that they help instill the same Christian values that I believe in is just a bonus to the educational assistance they are giving to children in preparation for kindergarten...which they actually offer in addition to the pre-school classes.

He has grown so much during his time here--not only developmentally, but socially as well. Right now he's in TK, and I absolutely adore Ms. Lena and Ms. Jenn. They have taught Isaiah more than I could have ever imagined. His writing, language, and hand-eye coordination have improved immensely. But beyond that, they truly care for these kids. My son constantly raves about his teachers. I also want to give credit where credit is absolutely due. Thank you so much to Ms. Sara, Ms. Bree, and Ms. Mal for being such a big part of my son's journey at Kiddie Academy. You all helped make his school days easier and have been such a positive influence during the year he's been there. And a very special shoutout to Isaiah's very first teacher, Ms. Omoto. When you see your child run up to a teacher just to give them a hug, you know they truly care about your child. Thank you for paving the way and for always being so kind to my son. All in all, I highly recommend this school. I'm very sad to say we are leaving Kiddie Academy because we're moving. If circumstances were different--or if I could just take the Murrieta Kiddie Academy crew with us--there would be zero hesitation in staying. We love you all so much! - Marissa
