The past two years have been challenging with Covid but somehow this school and our daughters teachers made it the best experience possible. Our daughter has blossomed so much since enrolling two years ago, she is more than ready to head to elementary school. I wouldn't have done this any other way. I highly recommend Lakewood. We will miss our little school and AMAZING teachers. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Ms. Cecilia, Ms. Danielle, and other other teachers who have played a role in our daughters time at Lakewood.

I have been thinking and giving some thoughts. At first this school was good I saw my daughter…read morelearning and improving in her development, educational wise. My daughter she's 3 year old she's being assets at the Artesia preschool development center and got her iep. She has been working with harbor regional center. She didn't qualify for the school so instead she's being put on the waiting list at the state preschool. At that time I was looking around to see what's best for her since she needs extra help in everything. She's delayed in a lot of things especially in speech wise. I found Lakewood Montessori had a tour with miss Jazmin at first she's good then she got offended that I texted too much about my daughter concern. She sent pictures to me which I like about my daughter doing. I reply back and said she knows how. :) she keep saying I text to much. Then my daughter kept getting sick so I inform them. Then she complain I text too much and worry too much. (Well no shit she's my child and she got Covid) Then last week she texted my husband because he came to the school with me to pick my daughter up. She then talk shit to my husband and said I need to stop worry and concern. Well of course my daughter has a delay learning and doesn't know how to feed herself and do a lot of things herself. You're a professional teacher but not professional enough to teach kids that need the extra help. She told me use the pictures I sent to see if my daughter knows the name of her friends. Well I did that she don't know the names of her friends. They're very expensive potty training I paid $150 and they're not doing anything at all. The school itself cost around $1100. Plus material fees and pizza party. Omg they even charge for pizza LOLOL I don't think I will be taking my daughter here anymore as you can see. Is already drama miss Jazmin causing drama to my family while my husband is busy working and she act like he cares. At a public school if the parents is concerned about their child education the teachers are more professional when a parent is asking question. This school is not professional enough every time I asked both Ms Jazmin and Ms erash they tell me not to worry and my daughter is fine. I also asked them what she learn today because my daughter is still speech delay. They don't tell me. Save the trouble if you want better education and teacher for your child, especially kids that need more help this school is not it. Parents can't even ask questions they get annoyed. public school abc school district is totally different. Edit: thank you for giving the refund back to us but my review still stands because this school is not specialized enough to kids who needs the special help. They might have over 25 years of experienced but not experienced enough in other criteria. Thank you for teaching my daughter for about one month she did learn a lot until I wanted to see how's she doing everyday. My parents when I was in school, they also asked the teachers how her child was doing. It's normal to ask and concern. And this school does not potty train they will charge $150 but they won't potty trained your kids.

My daughter has also attended LVCCNS over the last 2 years, and my youngest eventually will too. Every teacher is involved in each child's educational experience, whether they have them in their class or not. This creates such a personal environment where my kids are well known by the whole Lakewood Village team. There's such a sense of family and with that comes a strong feeling of familiarity, safety and security. I know my kids are learning and having a blast, all while being exceptionally well cared for. This preschool is play-based, which I absolutely love! My children will eventually spend years behind a desk. It's perfect for them to spend these formative years learning to use their imagination and building social skills, while also mastering all necessary requirements for entering Kindergarten. My son passed his Kindergarten assessment with flying colors! I couldn't say enough about how amazing Lakewood Village is. I wish I could have a dozen kids so we could keep coming back for many years to come (future Grandkids though!). My family unequivocally loves this preschool!

They foster a genuine love of learning through play, exploration, and curiosity, helping children build confidence while developing language skills naturally. As a parent, I also appreciated the remodeled campus and the added peace of mind that comes with the secure, passcode-protected entry and frequent communication on Brightwheel. If you're looking for a preschool that provides a strong foundation for bilingual education while surrounding your child with kindness, encouragement, and exceptional care, I wholeheartedly recommend Arc en Ciel Preschool. Check them out on Facebook or Instagram and schedule a tour--you won't be disappointed!

It takes a lot for me to feel comfortable leaving my little one in the care of someone else, but at AEC, they truly care for each child like their own. The teachers and the aides are on top of it, and they greet us and say goodbye with a smile and open arms. The activities are culturally inclusive and are tailored to support the children's development. They offer a full Spanish immersion program, which is perfect to build our little one's language skills. They created a garden this year, and renovated their playground, which is great for the littles. During the summer, they do water play, which is perfect because Lakewood summers get HOT. We love seeing how much the kids love being here! Another thing I really enjoy is how Arc en Ciel fosters parent engagement and ways to stay connected-there's a monthly newsletter, a group chat, events, and an amazing PTA.

She gives the children so much love and attention that Baby Bear Daycare never felt like just a daycare it felt like a second home.

Our family recently disenrolled our 2.5-year-old toddler from Oakwood Academy. As an African…read moreAmerican parent, I want to share our experience because feeling welcomed, respected, and heard by our child's school is important to our family. Before making our decision to disenroll, I read all available reviews. Notably, multiple African American families described experiences that were strikingly similar to ours, including concerns regarding communication, behavioral responses, and feeling unwelcome. While I cannot independently verify the experiences of other families, the consistency of these accounts, including reviews spanning several years, raises serious concerns for me about an unresolved pattern of implicit and, in some instances, explicit bias. Our primary concerns involved safety, supervision, communication, and collaboration. Our toddler was given no grace as this was a new environment and had attended the school for less than one month. Our toddler exited the classroom, and we were told that two staff members were assigned to the classroom. There are two classrooms separated by a partition. Our toddler crossed the partition and entered another classroom. We understand that leaving the classroom is a safety concern. At the same time, we wanted to understand the circumstances surrounding the exit and the supervision in place at the time. The immediate decision to have our toddler removed from school was difficult for us to understand and, given his age, felt punitive rather than educational. Our toddler crossed a partition and was subsequently removed from school. Our concerns about the overall environment also came from our direct observations. My child would say hello to staff and was sometimes not acknowledged. I observed his teacher look at him when he arrived without speaking to him. On other occasions, staff either looked at me without speaking or did not make eye contact. When my hands were full, an elementary school student helped me open the toddler gate while staff members were only a few feet away and talking among themselves. We also had difficulty with some relatively simple requests. For example, we asked for adjustments to our individual access codes and requested that staff use our child's shortened name, which he was able to pronounce. We did not feel these requests were met with the level of flexibility or collaboration we were seeking. I am sharing our experience so prospective families can make an informed decision. I deeply regret entrusting our child to this school. Families should be able to expect respectful communication, appropriate supervision, and meaningful collaboration when concerns involving their child arise.
