I will update this later but this school is brand new! It's got the cutest creek-woodsy theme throughout. Gorgeous school. Highly recommend.

We've had a wonderful experience at Montessori of Walnut! Both of my daughters have been attending…read morefor almost a year now. My youngest started in the infant class, and my older daughter started in Pre-K and has since moved up to TK. It's been so nice watching them grow, learn, and become comfortable and confident at school. The teachers and staff are all so friendly, warm, and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about the children and families. The facility is clean and welcoming. I like the curriculum that they offer and am impressed with how much my daughters learn each day. I also love that they offer so many extracurricular activities. My girls have really enjoyed being able to participate in the "Tutu Time" and tumbling specifically, it's something they look forward to every week. As a parent, it means so much to know that my daughters are somewhere they feel happy, safe, and cared for. My kids are very shy yet they feel comfortable with the staff and other students. We're very grateful for all of the teachers and staff at Montessori of Walnut and for the positive experience our family has had here. We toured ALL the Montessori schools in the area (there are several) and this was our top pick. I would definitely recommend MOW to other families!

The teachers are so gentle and caring, the director and administrators are organized and invested in their students, and we just feel so lucky that our son is able to go here. We toured so many daycares in the area and not a single one came close to MOW. The classrooms are clean and welcoming, they regularly offer special, hands-on learning activities for kids, and the children seem genuinely happy to be there. MOW is really the gold standard of how a daycare should be run.

Both of my kids…read morehave recently transitioned from WIM to public school, but while they were here we had a great experience. Since before we even started, their administration worked with us to get my son in on a short notice. Everyone was welcoming and friendly, and made me feel secure in my decision. My kids had the privilege in being in Rooms 1-3 and all the teachers worked so well with them. They are not only kind and caring, but they also challenged my kids and I was able to see their growth socially and academically. Mrs. Raquel and Mrs. Cecilia are both so wonderful at what they do! My family always felt supported and safe with them. I highly recommend WIM for any family that is looking for a Montessori school that feels like family!

She creates a warm and welcoming environment where my girls feel safe and supported. One thing we especially appreciate is her excellent communication with us. Ms. Ana is very responsive through WeChat; she provides us peace of mind when we have any questions regarding our kids. Ms Shiela was excellent in introducing both my daughters to writing/math/reading at the beginning of the year. She was able to identify different needs for each of my daughters and created a plan for us to follow at home to reinforce what was being taught at school. The time I had with Ms Shiela in the teacher parent meetings showed me that she really cared about her students and treated them as if they were her own. I am so impressed with my daughters' growth throughout the year; seeing the work they did in class and also the activities they have and are doing now at home is just amazing. We are so grateful to have had Ms. Ana and Ms. Shiela take care of and teach our kids. Ms Ana and Ms Shiela's kindness, patience, and dedication are qualities that every parent hopes to encounter on the first day of school.

Kid Junction - New year picture

A Preschool Filled with Heart and Faith!…read more Kid Junction has truly been such a blessing to our family. Our oldest daughter started here when she was just two and a half, and now our second daughter has gone through the same journey -- and we're already excited to send our youngest soon! What makes Kid Junction so special is the people. Every teacher pours so much love, time, and intention into the kids. They create fun, hands-on activities, celebrate holidays with so much joy, and keep parents updated every step of the way. You can tell this is a place where faith and care guide everything they do. Both of our girls had Miss Sandy, who is truly the best person to care for 2-year-olds -- patient, nurturing, and full of joy. Then they had Miss Susan, who is the sweetest! She helps build confidence in each child and makes every day special (my daughter loves when she pulls out her spray bottle and hair ties to give her a cute little hairstyle!). We also adore Miss Eileen, who does a wonderful job preparing the kids for Kinder she's a TK teacher -- she's caring, creative, and the children can't wait to be in her class. And Miss Belinda made those early toddler days so special with fun morning activities that set the tone for a happy day. We loved it so much that we decided to keep our daughters here for TK instead of going to elementary because we knew they would get the care and elevated education prior to going to Kinder. My daughters assessment going into kindergarten, she scored very high on the skills for this grade. It was an easy transition and she thought kinder was too easy she kept asking for more hw!! And holding it all together is Miss Clara, director -- she has the most tender heart and genuine love for children. We've known her for five years now, and her care shines through in everything she does -- her communication, the way she supports the teachers, and the way she continues to check in and send us updates. Overall I'm always blown away how clean everything is! So organized and clean which demonstrates the teachers diligence in providing a safe and modeled classroom. We are so thankful for Kid Junction. It's more than just a preschool -- it's a loving, faith-filled community that feels like family.

We're so grateful to Kid Junction for the care they provided our children…read more For three kids across a span of 7 years, we entrusted Kid Junction with helping raise our kids and they delivered. Thank you to Ms. Sandy, Ms. Belinda, Ms. Susan and Ms. Aileen for more recently helping guide our littlest one through his preschool days. And of course, a special thanks to Mrs. Clara for everything over the years: classroom activity updates, smiling photos of the kids after challenging dropoffs, navigating in and out of a pandemic, and all the special stories about our kids that truly showed the efforts made to get to know our children. Whenever we drive past KJ, only fond memories and joy will come to mind, and immense gratitude that our kids had an incredible environment to learn and thrive.

My oldest recently graduated from BSMA and my youngest is still there, so we've been part of Bright…read moreStar for quite some time. I can genuinely say we have loved our experience here and both of my boys have absolutely thrived! From the Montessori-style independent learning and social environment to all the fun add-on classes like golf, dance, gymnastics, sports, and more, I've always loved how BSMA gives the kids so many different opportunities to learn, explore and just enjoy being kids. Both of my sons are pretty social, especially my oldest, and I truly believe BSMA played such an important role in building his confidence and social skills. He grew SO much during his time here, not only academically but as a person. And the teachers!!! When I say we have loved ALL of our teachers, I really mean it -- both the current teachers and some who have since moved on. They have always been so thoughtful, kind, patient, and genuinely caring toward our kids. What I'm always so impressed by, was the way teachers/director remembered every student's name, including students that weren't in their class. A huge shoutout to Ms. Mary, Ms. Brianna, Ms. Adrienne, Ms. Olivia, Ms. Kayenne, Ms. Saide, Ms. Valerie, Ms. Malorie, Ms. Bethzay, Ms. Yu, and ofc Ms. Jin! Ms. Jin was actually one of my oldest son's former teachers and is now the director, which makes it even more special. One thing I will mention is that the structure and facility are a little different from a traditional classroom setting. It's much more open and the kids have opportunities to interact and socialize with one another throughout the school. I know that might not be everyone's preference, but I actually LOVED that about BSMA. I really think it contributed to how social and confident my kids became. My thought was always: they're going to spend Kinder through high school sitting in more traditional classrooms, so why not let their first educational experience be somewhere fun, creative, open, and different? Academically, I also feel BSMA gave my oldest such a strong foundation going into elementary school. He entered Kinder incredibly prepared, to the point where I sometimes feel like he isn't being challenged as much now because he already learned so much at BSMA! That really speaks to what a phenomenal job they did preparing him. Another thing I really appreciate is how well they keep parents updated through ClassDojo. Throughout the day, we get photos and detailed updates about what the kids are learning and doing, what they ate, restroom updates, and more. The teachers will often include lengthy descriptions explaining the activities and what the kids are learn/play, which I've always appreciated. You really get a glimpse into your child's day instead of just dropping them off and wondering what they did for the day! I'm so grateful that Bright Star Montessori Academy is where both of my boys got to begin their educational journeys. It will always hold such a special place in our family's heart. I was really sad for my oldest to move on from BSMA but glad my youngest is still there.

We are so grateful for Ms. Bethzay and Ms. Malorie's patience, care, and guidance. My daughter is a very sensitive child, and it has been truly heartwarming to watch her grow from a shy and cautious little girl into someone who is more outgoing, independent, and able to express herself. The teachers have created such a loving and supportive environment for her, and we really appreciate everything they have done. Our younger son is also attending Bright Star now, and we are looking forward to having him learn and grow under Ms. Malorie care and teaching as well.

We have been with this school since before the transition to FutureLand Child Development Center,…read moreand we have been very happy with the changes under the new ownership. Since FutureLand took over, we've noticed a lot of positive improvements around the school. The campus feels refreshed, communication with families has improved, and there seems to be a strong focus on creating a warm, organized, and engaging environment for the children. What we appreciate most is that the new ownership has respected the existing families and teachers while also bringing in new ideas and improvements. It feels like they genuinely care about building a strong school community rather than changing everything overnight. Our child enjoys coming to school, feels comfortable with the teachers, and comes home happy. We are also excited about the school's Montessori-inspired approach and the additional Mandarin and English learning opportunities. It has been great to see the school entering a new chapter as FutureLand, and we're looking forward to seeing it continue to grow!

I want to commend Ms. Gina, Ms. Melissa, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Carmena, Ms. Rene, Ms. Lubana, Ms. Nonye, and anyone I missed...you all are wonderful and will be missed!

The school is incredibly well-organized, and every staff member is warm and welcoming. My daughter felt so loved and supported at Learning Tree. Two weeks ago, she took the English test for the Walnut Unified School District, and the teacher was surprised by how good her handwriting was. I know this is because of the dedication of the teachers who have helped her grow. I want to end my review by sharing a picture she drew in class. It's hanging on our fridge. The drawing shows her teacher smiling as my daughter raises her hand to answer a question. It says, "I love to learn." This picture touches my heart deeply. As an educator myself, nurturing a lifelong love of learning is something I've always hoped to instill in my child. We've already signed her up for the after-school program, and we can't wait to see even more growth at Learning Tree!

I want to give a special shoutout to Ms. Melissa and Ms. Victoria--they are so kind, engaging, and supportive of all their students. My daughter talks non-stop about how much she loves them!

She was instrumental in potty training and knows how to support each child's unique personality. Ms. Quintero has been great at helping our daughter develop all the skills she needs in preparation for kindergarten. We've seen huge improvements in her communication, social, math, and writing skills since being in her class. The classes have a larger age range than typical daycares, but we've found that to be a positive, the younger kids learn a lot from the older ones, and the older ones learn to look out for the little ones. It's also one of the cleanest daycares we've experienced; our kids have gotten sick far less often here than at prior daycares and we rarely see the teachers on an iPad or phone (so don't expect a ton of photos or videos), they're genuinely engaged with the kids rather than distracted by a device. We also appreciated the extra curriculars that they provide at the school within school hours. Overall, we've really appreciated our experience at Limai so far.

From preschool through kindergarten, our daughter has flourished--not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. The child-centered, self-directed Montessori approach fostered her confidence, independence, and love of learning. What truly sets LiMai apart is its exceptional teachers and staff. Every teacher, assistant teacher, and staff member has been warm, patient, genuinely caring, and deeply invested in each child's growth. The campus is also consistently clean, organized, and welcoming. As our daughter graduates from kindergarten, our family is incredibly grateful for the support, encouragement, and care we've received over the years. LiMai has given our daughter a wonderful foundation, and we will truly miss this amazing school. We highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing and enriching Montessori education.

She loves being at school and she has tremendously improved emotionally, academically and socially. Staff is very helpful and professional.

My kids have been attending Walnut Montessori for the last couple of years and I'm so happy I…read morestumbled upon this wonderful place (after checking out at least 6 other places)! The school welcomes children from 6m to 6yo (kindergarten). The facility is spotless, and the staff is incredibly kind and knowledgeable about my children's needs. The tuition is comparable to nearby daycare and preschool options, and it includes two meals and two snacks (a huge bonus!). Plus, there's no extra fee for potty training. The school is always beautifully decorated for upcoming holidays, especially in the lobby, and the kids are always thrilled to pose for photos with the decorations. It really creates that cheerful atmosphere. Throughout the year, there are different events such as have Halloween parades, Winter Holiday shows, Easter egg hunts, spring performances, graduations, and lots of potluck holiday parties where the kids get to dress up. The school is open from about 7am to 6:30pm, which is perfect for most working parents (another plus). In addition, it's only closed on major holidays, so while other kids are on winter and spring breaks and long summer breaks, I can still drop off my kids here. Between June and August, the Summer Program usually includes four field trips where parents can choose to chaperone. The teachers are always happy to answer questions and address any concerns, and Ms. Palley, Ms. Lisa, and Ms. Mini are always around as well. If anything happens at school, there's always a message on the Remind app, a phone call, or an email from the school to keep us parents in the loop. My children are thriving here, and we've had the pleasure of meeting almost every teacher across all five classrooms. When we first started, I was a bit concerned about my older child's delayed speech development. However, the teachers have been wonderful, and I believe their encouragement and support have really helped her become so eager to learn and curious about new words and concepts that she's been getting in trouble for being too chatty lol. Besides the usual Montessori curriculum, my kids are also learning excellent manners. Initially, I planned to enroll them in public TK when the time comes, but seeing how much they've grown and thrived in so little time, my husband and I are leaning towards keeping the kiddies here until they graduate kindergarten.
