    My son started at this school when he was just a little over 1 year old, and I couldn't be happier…read morewith the care and love he has received here. The teachers truly look out for the children as if they were their own. They know each child by name, interact with them throughout the day, and make an effort to greet them every morning with at least a warm "good morning." What I appreciate most is how understanding and patient the teachers are, especially when a child is having a difficult morning or throwing a tantrum. Instead of getting frustrated, they take the time to comfort them, calm them down, and interact with them until they feel better. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my son is in a place where he is cared for, loved, and treated with patience and kindness. I'm truly grateful to all of the teachers and staff for everything they do for the kids. Thank you to - MR JESSE , Ms Patty , Ms Andrea , MS Lizette , MS KIANA & MS Paytin & his first teacher when he started MS SAMMY - X

His teachers Ms Sequoyah and Ms Paytin were absolutely phenomenal. Our son was scared starting off for his first time in daycare but they made him feel loved and cared for. Would recommend this place for families looking for childcare.

    We couldn't be happier with our experience at WILD ROOTS! From the moment we enrolled our son, we…read morefelt welcomed and supported. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and truly passionate about what they do. Our son has grown so much in confidence, independence, and curiosity since starting here. The Montessori approach has helped him develop at his own pace, and it's clear that he's not just learning -- he's loving to learn. The environment is calm, nurturing, and beautifully organized. We especially appreciate the focus on life skills and respectful communication. Every day, our son comes home excited to share what he did and eager to return the next day. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our child to grow. Highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a caring and enriching early learning experience!

    Finding the right school for my son was so important to me, and I'm beyond grateful that we chose…read moreWild Roots! He's in the Rosemary Room, and his teachers, Bree and April have been absolutely incredible--so patient, loving, and supportive as he adjusted to this new environment. His old teachers were such a blessing as well. Since he's only 2.5, it's hard being away from him for so long but it's great knowing he is in the best hands. It's coming up on a year soon since he's been there and I know he will be here for the long run. It took him a little while to warm up, but now he talks about his friends and teachers all the time, and I can see just how much he enjoys being there. I'm excited for everything else he will learn and explore. The Montessori and Reggio Emilia approach here is truly special, fostering independence, confidence, and a love for learning in such a kinesthetic and nurturing way. The classrooms are beautifully designed to encourage hands-on exploration, and the teachers take the time to understand and support each child individually. Seeing my son thrive under their care has given me so much peace of mind. He comes home and teaches me something new he has learned every day. He has been all smiles, his manners and practical life skills like cleaning up after himself around the house has been such a plus too. He enjoys it. There's also a hot lunches you can pay for that is filled with nutrition and they have pizza Fridays! How fun! One of the best parts is that he's now in the Wild Olympian sports program and music class soon, which has been amazing for his development and energy. He's having a blast learning to play and share with his classmates and I love that he's getting to build his strength, muscle memory and coordination in such an engaging way. The back yard areas are built for the most amazing outdoor imaginative play. They use mostly wood and natural materials and not a bunch of plastic wear. This makes me so happy. If you're looking for a different kind of Montessori school where your child will feel safe, supported, and truly thrive in his or her own element, I can't recommend WR enough. It's a wonderful community, and we feel so lucky to be part of it!

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Kiddie Academy! We were referred by my husband's colleague after we disenrolled…read moreour daughter from another childcare center in Temecula, where we had a truly awful experience. My daughter struggled so much there, which made me extremely anxious about trying a new daycare. From day one at Kiddie Academy, all of that anxiety disappeared. Every single staff member is warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Now, every morning my daughter literally runs to the door and is so excited to see the staff.. it speaks volumes. The difference in her has been incredible and her overall behavior has improved, and she's even starting to say words now! They do lots of activities and crafts with the kids, and I thought the Christmas performance was so sweet! I also really appreciate the security measures. The door being locked and requiring a password to enter gives me so much peace of mind as a parent. I love receiving photos throughout the day through the app, and another huge plus is that many of the teachers are moms themselves- they truly get it. The empathy, patience, and understanding they show is unmatched. As a mom of two, I can only imagine how challenging it is to care for so many little ones, yet they do it with so much love and professionalism. Thank you, Kiddie Academy, for taking such amazing care of my daughter and giving me the ability to go to work without stress or worry about her day. I truly appreciate every single one of you and all that you do. I would highly recommend Kiddie Academy of Murrieta!

He started in the baby room with Miss Connie and Miss Carolyn and we were so happy to see him thrive. Then he moved to room two and three where he also continued to thrive. Kayden loved going to daycare every day. We would dress him and he would point to the garage, knowing he was going to daycare. The staff made us feel so welcomed and took Kayden under their wings and treated him as if he were one of their own. They helped us through a difficult time and took over day-to-day care with love, and I would recommend Kiddie Academy to anyone who needs total support and guidance when looking for a competent daycare. We will miss each and everyone of you. We wish you all the best. The memories you left us with our priceless! Thank you to Miss Carolyn, Miss Connie, Miss Cherish, Miss Isabel, Miss Priscyla, Miss Liane, Miss Cassie, Miss Holly, Miss Bree, Miss Mal , Miss Sarah, Miss Omoto, and Miss Sophavady.

    More than just a school, Peppertree is a whole support system that not only empowers my children to…read morethrive, but also empowers me to improve my parenting everyday. As a parent, choosing the right educational environment for my children was one of the most important decisions I needed to make--and I can wholeheartedly say that Peppertree Montessori School has exceeded every expectation. From day one, it was clear that this school doesn't just follow the Montessori method; it embodies it. The school nurtures each child's unique potential with a deep respect for their individuality. My children are encouraged to explore their interests at their own pace, which has fostered an incredible sense of independence, confidence, and curiosity. Rather than being rushed through a standardized curriculum, they are allowed to fully engage with concepts in a hands-on, meaningful way. The educators at Peppertree are not just teachers; they are keen observers and compassionate guides.. and not just for my children but for parents as well. They provide gentle encouragement while trusting the child's inner drive to learn, which is a cornerstone of the Montessori philosophy. I've seen my kids develop not just academically, but emotionally and socially. They are becoming problem-solvers, critical thinkers, and empathetic community members. Miss Alejandra and Miss Jessika are an absolute wealth of information to me and my husband. They take the time to help us mirror the Montessori style at home. They help us problem solve and strategize the best approach for behavioral issues we experience outside of the classroom. Caroline recommended excellent parenting books that are helping us improve our parenting techniques. I'm also grateful for the school's commitment to a peaceful and respectful atmosphere. There is a strong emphasis on emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and conflict resolution, which has positively influenced how my children interact both at home and in the world around them. If you are looking for a school that honors your child's individuality, inspires a lifelong love of learning, and creates a nurturing community, I can't recommend Peppertree Montessori enough. It has been a truly transformative experience for our family.

    There is a lot I could say. This review is long overdue. Our kids became more aggressive and…read moreirritable after attending here. Something was wrong and the child's teacher was constantly talking down to us. Everything from not bringing the right food to water bottles etc. Our kids in the elementary program told us that the teachers were talking down to them and pitting them against other students. Teachers requesting alcohol for teacher appreciation week- and becoming visibly irritable that we didn't provide alcohol. Keeping alcohol on the school property where kids could access it. This school has so many issues. When we first began we had a wonderful teacher. And she eventually left, and we learned this was in large part because the teachers are also treated poorly . I'm concerned that this school is still operating. If you send your kids here, please know that if their behavior is concerning at home, or if they resist going, or are stressed- it's not just a phase or them getting older like we initially thought. Listen to your child. We saw immediately our children getting better after a month detox from this place- and never sent them back. Beware of this place. It's just a paycheck for most the staff there - your kids deserve better. Take the pay cut, bring your kids home, whatever you have to do to keep them home and safe. This is not the place.
