During the summer staff have themed weeks and provide fun field trips. They also provide swimming (during the summer) for the children, as they have a pool on site. My son particularly loved this aspect. All the staff are great communicators and are able to let me know positives aspects and well as area of growth for my child. Most of all my son feels comfortable and enjoying going. That speaks volumes of how he feels included and respected. I truly appreciate the staff and their support/ dedication to the community!

We've been part of Foothill Country Day School for 10 years, starting from preschool, and now our…read moreson is entering 8th grade. What stands out to us is that this school truly focuses on the whole child. Yes, the academics are good, but more importantly, our son has learned how to think independently, treat others with kindness, and carry himself with confidence and respect. Over the years, we've watched him grow into a confident, kind, and grounded young person - something we value even more than academic success. As parents, we've also grown alongside our child. The school supports families with open communication and by bringing in experts to talk about real-life topics like mental health, screen time and gaming, and what the future might look like for our kids - all of which have been incredibly helpful for us as parents. After 10 years here, this has been more than just a school experience - it's shaped our family in the best way.

The "Chef" is the last person I'd be calling a Chef. She has no sense of respect and appreciation…read morefor anyone. She makes you feel less than welcome. She doesn't train, she hovers and yells and spirals out of control when someone tries to do it their own way. Everything has to be done her specific way. You don't even get to cook, you just prep, clean up HER mess and do HER dishes with. No appreciation. People come and go from that kitchen yet she still remains. The "Chef" will shun your child if you're an "add on" lunch "don't your parents give you money for lunch? We can't keep feeding you, some of this lunch is for the kids that pay for it" There was a rat problem in the kitchen and she wouldn't do anything about it. Just laugh it off and never tell her boss about it and demanded food still be made in the kitchen. HR DOESN'T DO anything about her. They tell you to toughen up and just do it her way because it's her kitchen. They tell you to talk it out with her but the "chef" doesn't want to talk, only dictate. She's clearly the problem and only likes who she likes.

My daughters have been here for years both at the preschool, afterschool program and summer…read moreprogram, the staff has become family to us. It never feels like I am leaving them at school it feels like I am leaving them with a relative. The teachers truly care about the kids and but so much time effort and energy into the lesson plans and activities. Majority of the time when I go to pick them up they don't even want to leave which makes me feel great. The staff also does a really good job at communicating on dojo with pictures and updates on their day. If the kids get hurt playing they always do an amazing job at communicating that as well. This summer ms. Denise has taken them on so many cool field trips like the pool, the library the movies and the kids are really enjoying the summer. Sometimes as a parent having to work in the summer leaves you feeling guilty you're not doing more for your kids through the summer but with them here I feel like they are having a really fun time Thank you abc for me preschool for all the wonderful memories that we want to continue making

As a parent, choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you…read morecan make, and I am so grateful we chose this school for my daughter. From the very beginning, Principal Ms. Van Pool has been exceptional. She is approachable, professional, and truly invested in creating a positive, supportive environment for both students and families. Her leadership is evident throughout the school, and it really sets the tone for a caring and well-organized campus. My daughter is in TK, and her teacher, Ms. Kung, has been absolutely wonderful. She is patient, kind, and incredibly dedicated to her students. Ms. Kung creates a nurturing and engaging classroom where children feel safe, confident, and excited to learn. I've seen so much growth in my daughter's confidence and enthusiasm for school since being in her class. The communication with parents has been clear and consistent, and it truly feels like a community where children are valued and supported. I couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend this school to any family looking for strong leadership and caring, dedicated teachers. Thank you so much Scholarship Prep !

My daughter has been going to this school for a year and I absolutely love the progress she has…read moremade here. I moved my child to this school after a HORRIBLE experience at another daycare in Upland, so I can truly appreciate the love & guidance they take with their kids. I honestly have nothing but good things to say about this place. The daycare my child came from, the kids were mean and the teachers looked like they'd rather be elsewhere. However, here it's different. I can tell the teachers really want to be there with the kids and enjoy their jobs. The children, in return, seem to genuinely love and respect each other and them. Their 'hands-on' learning approach is one of the best draws of this school. My little girl is inquisitive, and helpful both inside and outside the classroom. She does very well at playing by herself and with others, and cleans up after herself at the school and at home! A lot of these skills I can say were honed from going to Upland Montessori! They are one of the best schools in the Upland area by far! I would highly recommend anyone looking for daycare for their pre-school age child to strongly consider this school. Hands down one of the best childcare decisions I've ever made. *In response to Joy & her "concerns", I must say I don't think she really gave the school a chance enough to write a negative review. Yes, it's family run and they are a little short handed in the office, but I see those as Minor hiccups in comparison to the quality of education they receive here. I understand the miscommunication about the hot lunch because I was a little disappointed myself - but it's not a deal breaker! She took the child there for one day and then removed him because of a policy the school has not to interrupt the children during school hours. I was told of this policy upon enrolling my child and have seen the benefits of it myself. Going into the classroom to greet a child or hand them items IS disruptive to their learning environment. Hand the lunch off to the teacher, and then leave. You can see your child when you pick them up, or if you're that concerned, watch through the video monitors - that's what they are there for. The last thing any teacher needs is one child who is completely fine, seeing mommy or grandma, and then having a breakdown in front of the entire class just because you wanted to 'peek in.' I'm not even a teacher, and I understand this. The teachers do what is best for the children. If you had given your child a little more time at the school you may have seen how amazing it truly is.

Our family is loving Tutor Time of Upland. Our kid started at age 14 months in Toddler 1 class at…read morethe beginning of August. Having never attended daycare before we expected the transition to be long and difficult but the teachers there worked hard to help him adjust and he was settled into the routine by week 2. Ms Kim, Ms Emily and Ms Kimmy from Toddler 1 have shown an abundance of care to our child which is shown in how quickly he was able to adapt, he was reaching for his teachers at drop off by week 2. But we love all the staff we have encountered and they all welcome our child by name each day, from the director and front desk staff to the other classroom teachers! (Honestly it feels like Cheers walking in everyday- where everybody knows your name!) Communication- The staff have been very communicative both in person and through the sprout about app with sharing suggestions of how to help in his transition, checking in on him when he's sick and out of school and reminders of events coming up, and we love the stories they share at the end of the day that let us know how well they know each individual child. Security- the sprout about app is great for being able to check in throughout the day. Staff are quick to respond to messages through the app. Cameras are well placed for visibility, to see everyone and everything except diaper changing. The rooms are open with good windows of visibility from the hallway and outdoors, no blind corners or spaces for hiding. We feel very comfortable knowing where our child is. There are no cameras outside for the playground but given that the play area looks out on the street there is good visibility from the public. The front door is shaded with privacy glass and locked with passcode required for entry. Check in and out is double verified by a parent log in/log out computer at the entrance and by staff through the sprout about app. I also really love that each parent, and grandparent if desired, gets their own sprout about account and door codes. Food- meals and snacks are served family style for the group and offered regularly around every 3 hours. There is a weekly meal schedule made available and has a varied menu. Staff also gives updates after meals/snacks to say how much the child ate which is helpful. The school provides sippy cups for milk, and parents provide water bottles which are offered several times throughout the day, especially during/after outdoor play time. Lastly we are very appreciative of the efforts of the administration staff (Wendy and Letty) to work with us on our military assistance program for subsidy for daycare (Child Care Aware). It required a fair bit of effort on their part to get it set up and monthly follow up on checking our child's attendance. It was one of the things that sold us on this daycare in that they were willing to work with us and they have made the process easy.

There aren't enough good things to say about this school, along with the staff. My 3 year old…read morestarted here about 5 months ago and it has been the easiest transition. The first 3 years of his life he was at home with me so I was expecting a much more rough transition, since I had been the only taking care of him. The first day was your typical crying at drop off; I'm not sure who was more scared, him or me. As a parent your first thought and priority is the safety of your child and their well being. Within the first 30 minutes Ms. Vanessa was sharing positive updates about my son along with pictures of him smiling and having fun. I cannot describe the comfort I felt. The next couple of days Ms. Vanessa made it a point to show my son that she was there to take care of him and protect him. By the third day there was no more tears. My son runs into his classroom now and sometimes even forgets to say bye to me because he's that excited. Apart from Ms. Vanessa, all the teachers there are so very warming and welcoming. My son knows every teacher and every teacher makes it a point to know him as well. Apart from Ms. Vanessa, my son also spends a lot of time with Ms. Michelle. He looks for her every morning, as does she, and he asks me every morning if it's time for him to move up to her class. Seeing their bond makes me realize how grateful I am that he is able to attend a school with such great staff. During his initial days, the assistant director Ms. Letty was there to assure him that he was safe and that they were always going to take care of him. My son is more on the timid side so he struggles with adapting to new environments at time. Ms. Wendy, the director, has offered him the same safe space as the others and she's always been extremely helpful and attentive to whatever needs we may have. They're always cheering him on for his next steps, giving him the confidence that he needs. My son looks forward to seeing each and every one of the staff and he immediately notices if someone isn't there, but most importantly he recognizes the safety that they hold, which is why I believe he's had such a positive experience. Apart from the staff, the other kids are a dream. They are all such respectful and well-educated kids that I have no doubt that they treat my son well, and vice versa. Again, I can't say enough good things about this school. From the live feed cameras, to the staff and kids. They make it a point to make sure that the kids are experiencing new activities and are always engaged, from water day to bike day, or learning how to put together a trail mix snack. He comes every day to tell me a story of all the new things he has tried and learned. My son is very lucky to be able to attend a school like the one he attends.
