    My daughter has been attending Schoolhouse Downey for about 5 months now, and it has been such a…read moreblessing to have her learn and grow under Mrs. Valerie's care. Mrs. Valerie has tons of experience with preschool kiddos, they are always doing fun crafts and outdoor/play activities. And on top of that, she has a very organized and impressive curriculum, so this is not "just a daycare". My daughter loves that she gets to dance, do yoga, eat yummy pasta and play with her friends every week! And as a parent, of course the number one concern is safety, and I feel truly blessed that I know she is in good hands and that she is 100% safe with Mrs. Valerie. I am also thankful for Mrs. Valerie's support and special attention as my daughter transitioned out of pull ups and began learning English (we speak a different language at home). We recently went on a two week vacation (that was filled with beach and pool days, everyday!) and she asked several times when she goes back to Mrs. Valerie, so she definitely is doing everything right at Schoolhouse! Mrs. Valerie is a very supportive and caring teacher, and I highly recommend her.

I was so happy to see that by baby was so exited to go to school on her days, she loved her teacher and her friends and came home with beautiful work that I will cherish for ever! THANK YOU Mrs Valerie for being so kind, caring and such an amazing teacher!

    We are so grateful to have found and be a part of the MAOD community!…read more Where to begin with my review- I'll start from the beginning, after touring several pre-schools in the area, my husband and I were convinced MAOD would be the best choice for our daughter. From the very beginning when inquiring about information on enrollment and space we were always greeted courteously and warmly by the school's administrator, Veronica. Setting up our initial tour of the school was easy and we appreciated that we got a tour from one of the teachers who would be working with our 4 year old, so it was nice getting to know her a bit and asking her questions. During the tour, it was great being able to see all aspects of the school not just the areas assigned to their pre-k students but also where the infant area is, the kitchen where lunches/snacks are prepped the restrooms, playground, classrooms- everything! We also had the opportunity to ask questions about the schools teaching methods, curriculum, and experience of the teachers with Montessori so upon all of this, my husband and I made the decision to enroll our little one at MAOD. After 5-6 months of enrollment, we really are very satisfied in having brought our daughter here. It wasn't a smooth transition, there were days/weeks with lots of tears at drop off, but her teachers were patient and flexible with her needs, and I am happy to say she is doing great now. We love that the classes are small and there are two teachers per pre-k class. As parents we get a monthly newsletter with what's to come for the month and I always look forward to seeing her interpretations of different artists for "artist of the month" and hearing from her what she learned in school everyday. Most of the teachers are bilingual so it was a huge plus for us as our daughter is primarily a Spanish speaker which brings me to my next huge plus- in a matter of just a few months her English has improved significantly! We are amazed at how much English she speaks now compared to when she started. One of the other big pluses about MAOD is their incorporation of Montessori principles and we always love seeing when the kids are learning by doing. Her teachers, Ms. Patty and Ms. Sinttia are truly wonderful! They both have their special way of connecting and nurturing each student based on their needs, we truly appreciated how they each adapted to our daughter's needs as she transitioned into school full time. My daughter loves them both and won't stop talking about them at home. The app the school uses to communicate with parents is great too, I love that teachers update with pictures and important announcements consistently. Overall, we would definitely recommend MAOD to anyone looking to enroll their child in a ECE program. So much so that we will definitely be bringing our little one here when they are old enough to enroll in the future. I hope this review will encourage other potential families to check out MAOD, as we believe that it is a truly nurturing and caring environment for little ones as they begin their early childhood education. Thank you, Ms Veronica, Ms. Patty, Ms. Sinttia, and all the teachers and staff who have made this experience wonderful!

I was a little nervous about the transition at first, but the teachers are so kind and caring that it quickly put me at ease. My daughter had been struggling with her speech very early on, and since moving into this next age group she has continued to blossom even more. All of the teachers genuinely care, you can truly feel it, and it shows in the kids. Even though she is still new to the school setting, her transition into the new class was very smooth. Ms. Ale also incorporates home projects, which I really appreciate. As busy parents, it's a nice reminder to pause and spend quality one-on-one time with our little ones, nurturing their creativity and helping them grow. We've really enjoyed the first two projects and I'm grateful for the opportunity to slow down and focus on that special time together.

    We love love love Rancho Los Amigos KinderCare!…read more Staff here is support friendly. Also very supportive of parents and children! My child loves all the teachers and always looks forward to going! All the kids are very well taken care of. Everything is very sanitary and organized. There is always someone available to answer questions if I ever have them. The staff is the reason why we haven't moved location (They are THAT GREAT that we find the commute here worth it for our child!) The learning aspect is amazing as well! For context my child is in the toddler program and is constantly learning and coming home showing us what she learned today. She is very savvy when it comes to her colors, animals, counting, etc! The best part is that this location is very active on the application! So you can download the app and get updates all day long ! And the staff is very on it. We get updates from activities to food to naps! I always end every day knowing everything she did with photo updates ! Most of all big big BIGGGG shout out to Miss Norma!! For always providing top Tier care of Sophia!

His teachers have done a wonderful job with all the kiddos and they are always sharing memorable updates throughout the day. My son is in Pre-K and has learned so much this past year. Ms. Lilia, Ms. Anay, and Ms. Jocelyn are amazing and my son has enjoyed being in their classroom so much! Ms. Helia and Ms. Julia keep the parents up to date on everything and are always available to answer any questions. I would 100% recommend this center to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy school for their children.

From day one, the teachers and leadership have been outstanding. Every teacher we've interacted with, both past and present, has been caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the kids. One thing that really stands out is how connected we feel to what our children are doing each day. The communication is consistent and thoughtful, which gives us a clear window into their learning and development. Just as important, we always feel that our kids are safe and well cared for while they're there. The entire faculty and staff bring such a positive, kind energy, and it shows in the environment they've created. It's a place where kids can thrive, and where parents can feel confident their children are in great hands. We're very grateful to be part of this community.

    I would NOT recommend Around the World Daycare based on my child's experience…read more My child no longer attends this daycare. To this day, whenever we pass by there, my child consistently expresses that they felt unhappy while attending during their time there, dislikes it, and does not miss going there and never wants to return. My child has shared that they felt treated unkindly by the Director, Ms. Yvette, particularly in connection with issues involving the other parent. No child should feel uncomfortable, mistreated, or negatively impacted due to circumstances beyond their control--especially in situations involving custody arrangements where a court order is in place awarded primary physical custody. Unfortunately, I was not informed or notified by the Director when incidents occurred involving the other parent and their partner, who created repeated disruptions and chaos at the daycare during the other parents custodial time. Instead, we were advised that our child could be asked to leave if those disruptions continued, despite the fact that neither my child nor I had any control over their behavior. This lack of communication and handling of the situation was both concerning and unfair. No child should bear or suffer the consequences of adult conflict. Although a meeting was eventually held to address these concerns, during which the Director, Ms. Yvette, indicated to both parents that the matter involving specifically the other parent and partner would be reported to the Department of Children and Family Services, I later became aware that no confirmation of such a report or the names of the two individuals was ever provided. To my knowledge, the matter was not addressed or reported as indicated by Ms. Yvette to DCFS which is very concerning. In situations involving potential disruptions and affecting a child's safety and well-being should be addressed promptly and handled with transparency to ensure safety concerns for the child. Additionally, I observed and witness the Director's conduct to be unprofessional at times, bias, and including making unfounded personal assumptions. My child consistently reported feeling treated unfairly, which is deeply troubling. I also had concerns regarding services that is expected as part of tuition, including the consistency of meal provision that were paid for, such as meals, were not provided as expected especially in comparison to other daycares. Since transitioning to a public elementary school, my child is now in a structured, supportive, and positive environment. My child feels safe, happy, and respected--everything a child deserves in an educational setting both academically and emotionally. I am sharing this feedback as a parent advocating for my child's well-being. Childcare providers play a critical role in ensuring a safe, consistent, and supportive environment, and it is important that concerns impacting children are addressed with appropriate care and professionalism-- something no parent should have to endure or experience!

A teacher named Manuel grabbed a little girl by the arm, yelled at her, and snatched something from her hand, then threw it across the floor. All the children nearby looked scared and shaken.

I am sharing this because I believe in protecting all children and ensuring schools are a safe and nurturing place to learn. I hope the administration takes this seriously and investigates. Parents: Please pay attention. Teachers should be role models, not bullies.

I stand by my review because I was truly concerned about the way he yelled and grabbed that child along with my other findings.
