It's the kind of place where kids are truly seen, loved, and encouraged to grow into who God made them to be. What set Seedsowers apart for us is that it's not just a great preschool--it's a place rooted in the gospel. The love of Jesus is woven into everything they do, from how the kids are treated to the way they learn and play. Ms. Mindy and the team have created a safe, nurturing, faith-filled environment that we'll always be grateful for. Now that our youngest is moving on, it feels like the end of an era--but we carry so much gratitude for the foundation Seedsowers helped lay in each of our children.

Wow I cannot believe I haven't reviewed Alexa's!!!!!!! Welp here I go…read more.. My kids attended Alexa Playc at Rady's in Murrieta (Hancock and Los Alamos), and I truly cannot speak highly enough about this preschool. Both of my children absolutely loved it. We would not have kept them there if they hadn't. They woke up talking about their teachers, and when asked who their best friends were, they often named a teacher, even though they had plenty of friends too. That alone says everything. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, every single staff member is warm, welcoming, compassionate, empathetic, knowledgeable, and deeply connected to the children. You can immediately tell they understand child development and genuinely care. The ratios are small, approximately one teacher to three or four children, and there is always plenty of staff present. You won't hear children crying. You'll hear laughter, learning, and play. Children's emotions are encouraged and met with real connection, kindness, and respect. This is one of the most truly child-centered programs I've ever seen. One of my favorite aspects is the experience and education of the staff, but what truly sets Alexa Playc apart is the observation room. Parents can come in at any time and observe through a one-way mirrored room where you can see and hear your child without the classroom knowing you are there. This provides incredible peace of mind and allows you to witness authentic, loving interactions between teachers and students. I have experienced other home daycares and childcare facilities, and many of them are concerning due to high ratios and limited staffing. At Alexa Playc, children's needs are consistently met. The staff is happy. The children are happy. Everyone is engaged and supported. Even the meals are thoughtful and well planned. The outdoor area is wonderful and filled with toys and opportunities for exploration. Drop-offs are smooth, and if a child does struggle, a teacher is immediately there to comfort and support them, whether that means holding them until they regulate or helping them transition with toys and connection. When my son was 18 months old, I worried about sleep transitions. I watched through the observation room as staff gently patted his back, held him, and even rocked him to sleep during those early weeks. Their care truly goes above and beyond while remaining highly professional. They currently have openings, which is rare since there is typically a waitlist and we waited almost a year. They serve children starting around 18 months through preschool age in a secure facility. If you are looking for a truly child-centered, developmentally informed, and loving preschool, I cannot recommend Alexa Playc enough.

This review is a reflection of my personal experience. I've waited a good while to post this…read morereview, but I feel it is important as a parent of a child who attended Alexa's PLAYC in Murrieta that other parents are aware. My child attended the group based ABA class. Which is not at all ABA and is in fact daycare at best. My child is on the autism spectrum and I was told about Alexa's through Rady's. I thought this was a good stepping stone for my child as even on their website they boast about having qualified staff for children with developmental disabilities- what they don't say and technically can't is they cannot handle children above level 1 on the spectrum and from our experience we quickly realized they do the initial assessment to weed the children level 2 and up out. The staff is not crisis trained at all, but the bcba who was the supervisor is and that was an issue for my child as they needed more support seeing as the bcba wasn't always around in the "classrooms". If you have a child on the autism spectrum who requires significant support this is not the place to bring them by all means. I often used the observation room to see how my child was being taken care of and it was sad to meet other parents in there with similar experiences. By advertising how Alexa's PLAYC supports group based Aba was disappointing to see they couldn't help my child with their needs in actual ABA. This review is by no means discrediting the staff that tried to comfort my child because the company fails to properly train them for children with different levels on the spectrum, but to allow parents to make a decision based off my personal experience. I quickly realized my child needed somewhere more properly qualified and pulled out of Alexa's. We found a good actual ABA company and my child is making significant progress. I would not recommend Alexa's to other parents if you want to see progress in your child's behavior and development which Aba is designed for.

If you're looking for a safe, clean environment, competent administration, structured learning, and…read morestability with trusted adults, then do NOT send your child to Discovery Isle in Murrieta. To be fair, there are some truly exceptional teachers here--Ms. Blake, Ms. Cathy, and Ms. Tina genuinely care about the children and made a positive impact on our family. Unfortunately, the overall quality of the school declined significantly during the 2.5 years my children were enrolled. While there were numerous concerns, the two biggest issues were safety and administration. Safety Concerns * The cameras mounted in each classroom appear operational but are actually nonfunctional. I understood from the beginning they were not intended as a live feed for parents, but I was under the impression that they recorded incidents for later review if concerns arose. I was disappointed to learn that was not the case. * The playground is not privately enclosed, making it visible from the parking lot. Any weirdo or creep on the street can observe the children at play. * Classroom windows have no curtains or coverings, leaving little opportunity to reduce visibility from outside during an emergency. * During a recent (~April 2026) threat that was reportedly made against Discovery Isle locations, administration chose to notify parents by email rather than through an immediate mass text alert. In a situation involving a potential safety threat, I expected a faster and more direct method of communication. Administrative Concerns * School communications--including emails, text messages, and newsletters--frequently contained spelling and grammatical errors. While this may seem minor, it reflected a lack of attention to detail from the leadership team. * If your childcare expenses are supplemented through a third-party program (ours was through the military), carefully review your invoices. On multiple occasions we had to follow up because credits were not applied correctly. This resulted in thousands LOST due to the credits not being applied and too much time lapsed for us to receive those funds. * Communication with administration was consistently frustrating. Phone calls and emails often went unanswered, leaving in-person conversations as the only reliable option. But in person conversations are not a viable option, given that administration will fabricate communications or imply that they never happened. (Pro tip: get EVERYTHING in writing with them. Even the things that don't seem important) * In our experience, administration appeared to form lasting opinions about children based on isolated incidents. Once a child was labeled as having "behavioral issues," it often felt as though every interaction was viewed through that lens. We received frequent calls describing incidents that seemed exaggerated compared to what classroom teachers reported. * When we attempted to discuss concerns directly, we often felt dismissed rather than heard. Conversations felt one-sided, with little willingness to consider parent feedback or collaborate on solutions. Ultimately, these ongoing issues led us to enroll our children elsewhere. The difference has been remarkable. Since changing schools, we've seen significant improvements in our children's happiness, confidence, learning, and overall development. The supposed "behavioral problems" have all ceased to exist, demonstrating the importance of who you entrust your children with. Every family's experience may be different, but based on ours, I cannot recommend Discovery Isle in Murrieta. I encourage parents to thoroughly research their options, ask detailed questions about safety procedures and administrative practices, and trust their instincts when choosing a school for their children.

Now, he absolutely loves going to school! He literally claps and smiles when we tell him it's time to go! Seeing how excited and happy he is each morning gives us so much peace of mind. As first time parents, there's nothing more important than knowing our child is safe, loved, and cared for, and that's exactly how we feel every day. We are so grateful to have found a school that treats our most valuable treasure with such kindness and attention.

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

One thing I appreciate most is how welcoming and friendly the staff is overall. I've had a lot of interaction with Miss Michelle, the director, and she's always warm and present. She greets families in the morning, says goodbye at the end of the day, and genuinely interacts with the children. The kids love her, especially when she brings out fun little toys or prizes at pickup time. It creates such a positive environment. Miss R is also incredibly kind and bubbly. She's one of the first people you see in the morning and one of the last people you speak to before leaving, and it's always nice having someone so pleasant to chat with. I don't get a ton of face-to-face time with my children's teachers during drop-off & pick up because they're usually already inside the classrooms, but my kids absolutely adore them. They constantly come home talking about their teachers in such a positive way. I'll hear things like, "Miss Sandra helped me with this," or "Miss Sandra helped me solve a problem today." Hearing those stories makes me feel very comfortable and safe leaving my children there because I know they're being cared for with patience and kindness. I also appreciate how clean the school is. One thing I personally love is that they don't use sand in the play areas. As a parent of young children with textured hair, not having to wash sand out every single day is honestly a huge plus. The school uses a digital app to keep parents updated throughout the day. While I do wish the app was a little more detailed, it still gives me a good idea of my children's daily routine, like meal times, naps, and activities. Another thing I really appreciate is that all of my children's schoolwork comes home weekly. It allows me to actually see their progress; whether it's coloring, writing letters, or other developmental skills and helps me understand where I can continue helping them at home. Each classroom also has a monthly itinerary explaining what the children will be learning and focusing on. Whether it's science, math, or another subject, it's always very clear. I love that because it helps me stay involved and continue reinforcing those lessons at home. I also think it's really sweet how the school celebrates holidays and includes parents in activities. Things like making Mother's Day or Father's Day crafts, writing letters to Santa, or doing art projects together create really special memories for families. Overall, Children's Lighthouse has felt clean, safe, friendly, and structured. Most importantly, my kids are happy there and are genuinely learning, and that gives me a lot of peace as a parent.
