* NEGATIVE REVIEW ALERT!!…read more This review is not about the school's academic quality nor the performance. This is about the organizers for tonight's Dance event (01/13/24). I gave this school 5-star because my kids go here and it's a good school overall Dear the Dance Organizers for tonight event (01/13/24) To kindly and professionally put: YOU SUCK! We bought tickets (4) and came at 5:45pm, only to see the gates were locked with no signs. There were a lot of other kids standing outside with tickets like us and we were all confused as how to get it. 1. If you decided NOT to let people in for whatever reason ... basic common sense: PUT UP A NOTICE TO ADVISE THE SITUATION! Seeing a lady busy counting ticket money behind locked doors and ignoring us standing on the other side of the glasses are classless and rude. 2. If you sell X amount of tickets, you should have X amount of seats to accommodate the buyers. We knocked on the door and finally a lady came out telling us there is no more seats/spaces. I asked "Why?" and the answer was "Well, blame it to the kids who do not have tickets and came in with their friends" Well, I do not blame them. I blame YOU: the adults who do not know the basic rule of ticketing at gate and allowed this situation happened. Not accepting accountability and blamed it on the kids are not good image. Do not expect my empathy with this answer! 3. "Don't worry! You will be refunded for the tickets you bought"...How little did you know this is not about the $ or tickets. It's about missing the opportunity to see and support my kids' performance, which happened once in a lifetime. It was ruined and taken away by your poor organizing skills and lack of transparency/honesty and communication. 4. "We didn't expect it to be crowded this year. Last year only 70 showed up"... How in the world you can organize a big event with this mentality? In the end, you still messed up by not doing crowd control and ticketing correctly. We drove 45 mins to come and support my kids' dance and were sent away because of this BS. "Disappointed" is an understatement. Don't expect this to get to the school's office but if it does, I sincerely ask you to review this event so future event(s) won't suffer the same horrible result. (Heading to find something to eat to ease the frustration)

We went left and saw the drop off area and drove around the football field. We retraced our steps and drove farther straight and found the gym. There was plenty of parking and even some parking in the shade. The parking lot needs a little of grooming. We parked next to an island and it was filled with branches and weeds. The gym was nice. It was a little stuffy, even with all the doors open. The seating was plentiful. The bathroom was in the lobby, it was clean and easy to find. I'd come back and watch another game in their gym.

Shout out to the teaching staff and administration officials. They really show Christian values…read more They are the most caring teachers I've ever met. They are so helpful and sincere. No wonder most kids behave well, too. Compared to teachers at Stanford, Harker, Challenger; yes.. VCS staff might get lower salaries, but their dedication to teaching and loving the students - distinguish them from the rest. The tuition is way cheaper than other private schools, but you can tell VCS uses the money the right way - sports facilities, music hall (the Conservatory), computers. The only two things that I wish VCS will improve are: 1. to depend less on iPADs (trust me, years from now kids will grow up with shorter neck when they're on iPADs hours a day everyday) 2. better quality lunches please Other than that, we've been blessed with the quality of education, life learning, after-school programs, supportive, secure and loving environment from the staff.

In today's world, with so much hate, the last thing we need is actively teaching hate at school!…read moreValley Christian Junior High School is one of the only religious schools that is not open to the LGBTQ+ community. Parents have been reminding them that Jesus loves EVERYONE for several years, but the administrators will not listen. They actively teach that being gay or trans is wrong, making some students feel that their very existence is wrong. How can kids learn, when they are made to feel that way? You might think, "well, I can just teach my children that that being gay is OK. That's what our family believes." Well, it is not that easy. Kids walk away with a bias against LGBTQ+ people. Some boys there call some kids "tranny" and "gay" as an insult, followed by "I'm going to kick your ass after school." Sadly, the high school principal says that his school takes the same stance as the middle school. I have been thinking about how to phrase this post for a long time, because the school's stance hurts us deeply, as people who believe in God. If you switch to a public school, you will likely be behind in math and have to play catch up. So, you can get excellent grades and meet some good friends, but you will likely fall behind in math, and feel miserable about school. You have to be a very specific type of person with a narrow view to feel accepted and happy at Valley. During these very formative middle school years, is this what you want your child to walk away with?

Little World Preschool is truly unique and unlike any other preschools. The owner, Ms. Amanda, is…read moreso passionate and professional. She knows children, loves them, and recognizes that every child is different. She sees the potential in each child and encourages them accordingly with positive reinforcement. I'm particularly impressed that she consistently goes above and beyond for children, and sometimes even for their parents. My daughter is there for 1.5 years now and she has made tremendous progress in all aspects. She grows stronger and smarter. More importantly, she has developed good learning habits and strong confidence. Ms. Amanda also helped me become a better parent. The teachers there are loving and caring. The food is nutritious and delicious. Environment is clean. The school can help prepare birthday parties for kids. They also do various celebrations during holiday seasons. The school has a long wait list.

We have been part of this school community for two years, and it has been a fantastic journey since…read moremy child was 2.5 year old. The school maintains an impressively clean environment, and the kids stay very healthy. My child also loves the meals provided here. The low student-to-teacher ratio means the staff is very attentive. Amanda, the owner, is dedicated and always goes above and beyond to provide the best care. Communication with her is seamless, and I love that she frequently shares stories about my child's day. The teachers are loving and responsible, my child has formed a wonderful bond with them. My child has learned so much and has made rapid progress here. Amanda even provides customized teaching materials tailored to each child's different level, which is impressive. The program is primarily in English with a valuable half-day Mandarin class at least once a week. We feel so lucky to have secured a spot here. Our child is happy, and as parents, we have total peace of mind.

He had already talked to a couple of cars and asked them not to wait for their children there, and told them it was okay to wait there today. He came up to me and asked the same question to me, when I asked isn't that a sign saying this is a loading zone he got an attitude with me and asked me to move. I had already said I wouldn't park there tomorrow, so I asked why do they get to stay and I have to move. He told me I had an attitude, and I said all I did was ask a question and told him questioning things is a good thing. Then he was trying to get the name of the student I was picking up like he was going to have it out for them for me asking a question. To top it off he referred to me as you people.
