They all know my son and always greeting to him on the hallway, even after he graduated almost one year ago. The younger age room 2 teachers took so good care of my son. Ms. Griselda was always reading and playing with the kids when I picked up my son in the late afternoon. she always shared with me how my son was eating that specific day and other fun facts about him, before I ask. Still also remember how nice and warm Ms. Cecilia was when I didn't make it for Mother's Day activity. They took a lot of pictures and greeted to me with so much love that day when I picked my son up. All the way up to room 6, Ms. G focus more on good behavior and learning. While strict, she is also a fun teacher. My son likes her so much and came back everyday telling me things that Ms. G shared. He also learned so much things, art, math, geology, etc. The school also host many activities and kids performance through the year, my husband enjoyed this a lot.

The school has a over a year waitlist for great reason-- our child has matured and developed beyond our wildest dreams. Walnut International Montessori has been super LIFE CHANGING not just for our child, but also for us parents + the loves ones around us. Our child has learned skills, habits, and attitudes for life. We'll forever be grateful to Ms. Noelle, Carolina, Gie, Sabina, Hailey, Anna, Katie, Sam, Reina, Rabia, Connie, Andrea, Dima, etc. for their patience, dedication, expertise, and wholistic LOVE for the kids, parents, and the community. The staff has ALWAYS been sincere, selfless, and deeply passionate about kids' development. We wish we could stay forever with WIM-"--8 stars, if possible! Stay steadfast & patient to the other parents waiting out there! PS: Naysayers here aka "negatrons" get what they deserve for their lack of deep love, care, involvement, and sense of accountability & ownership to their child's welfare. 99% would stand on a hill about this.

When he first started, he was really shy, hardly spoke, and would prefer playing and being alone, which was concerning me. However, my son soon began to excel. He's become more social and verbal, constantly learning new things and continuously showing improvement. When I pick him up from school, I love seeing how happy and comfortable he is playing with the other children. He now tells me about his friends and what he did that day, and sometimes, out of nowhere, he'll sing songs he learned at school. The teachers are incredibly kind, caring, and patient with all the children. They genuinely show how much they care for every child's development, well-being, and education. They are always willing to discuss any questions, recommendations, and concerns I or they may have. I appreciate it when the teacher not only informs me of his progress but also points out areas that he needs improvement in. The staff also helped me with potty training and were always understanding and accommodating to schedule changes. I have peace of mind every day when I drop him off, knowing he will be safe, well cared for, and in good hands. I completely trust my child in their care. I 100% highly recommend Discovery Montessori Preschool to any family searching for a high-quality, reliable preschool where children are encouraged to learn and develop. Thank you so much Ms. Nilani, Ms. Dishani and Ms. Ayanti! You are all greatly appreciated!

From the moment we joined the school, we felt welcomed, supported, and confident that Ellie was in a caring and nurturing environment. The teachers and staff at Acacia Montessori are exceptional. They are kind, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's growth and well-being. In the Dragonfly class, the teachers create a calm, positive, and engaging space where children feel safe to explore, learn, and express themselves. Ellie looks forward to school every day, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and happy she feels there. Academically and developmentally, Ellie has grown so much since attending Acacia Montessori. The Montessori approach encourages independence, confidence, and a love of learning, and it has been amazing to see these qualities develop in her at such a young age. She is learning important skills while also being encouraged to be curious, respectful, and kind to others. Communication with the school has been excellent. The staff keeps parents well-informed and is always approachable and supportive. It truly feels like a partnership, with everyone working together to ensure the best experience for the children. The overall environment at Acacia Montessori School is warm, welcoming, and well-organized. It feels like a community rather than just a school. Knowing that Ellie is cared for, understood, and encouraged every day gives me so much peace of mind as a parent. I am incredibly grateful to Acacia Montessori School and the Dragonfly class teachers for the love, dedication, and effort they put into nurturing young minds. I would highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a high-quality, caring, and enriching early childhood education. Acacia Montessori has truly been a second home for Ellie, and we feel very lucky to be part of this school community.

With their help, my child successfully transitioned out of diapers, learned to clean up toys independently, and gained many new skills and knowledge.

These events help children experience American culture in a fun and meaningful way while strengthening the connection between families and the school. I'm very grateful for the caring environment Acacia provides and highly recommend it to other families.

My daughter, who…read moreis very attached to me, has had a smooth transition to preschool thanks to the support of her wonderful staff (Ms. Lily, Ms. Alejandra, Ms. Brie, Ms. Destiny, Ms. Felicia, etc. basically all staff) Ms. Grace the director, is incredibly warm and welcoming, and Ms. Francesca is always attentive to everyone's needs. We have Ms. Lily as our room teacher who is the BEST! She is warm, patient, and truly care about each child.

There are several things that I really appreciated: **The staff & teachers are all very warm & caring with the kids as well as understanding & informative with the parents **The facility is the cleanest of all the preschools I toured **Lunch is not served on styrofoam plates - I know this is a common thing among preschools, but it really bugs me...Creekside's lunches are served in sectioned aluminum trays that help keep the food warm until it gets to the kids **They potty trained my daughter! I'm sure every kid is different but they did so well with her that we didn't have to do anything except maintain what they taught at home **Despite what their one 1-star Yelp review complained about, I felt my daughter was totally kindergarten ready - I've attached pictures of her report card to share all the topics that are included in their academic curriculum **Super cute holiday activities & awesome summer onsite field trips (which we appreciate for safety reasons) & this year they've started an annual recital! **Optional weekly homework to enhance what they've learned (only takes about 10 minutes to finish all pages) Note on access: Previously, you could only drop off your kid at the front door due to COVID, but now you get a key fob to open the door & walk your kid in. I recommend making sure you know what you're going to do with their artwork ahead of time...there is a LOT. I can't thank Ms. Grace, Ms. Francesca, & all of my daughter's wonderful, patient teachers enough for their care - we miss you all so!

Ms. Elin was my son's Pre-K teacher, and he absolutely adores her. Under her guidance, he learned all the alphabets, shapes, and colors, and can now count to 20 -- skills I know are often taught in TK. Beyond academics, Ms. Elin always incorporated fun, engaging activities that the kids loved. She also helped my son become more independent with eating, which was something he really needed encouragement in. In the afternoons, when Ms. Elin left, other wonderful teachers stepped in to provide care -- Ms. Silvia, Ms. Christine, Ms. Mary, Ms. Marie and Ms. Nour. My son knows and loves them all. When I once asked my son if there was any teacher he liked the least, his answer was, "no," which says it all!) Last but certainly not least, Ms. Virgine is an incredible director. My son was both a Covid baby (super shy) and a preemie, so I had extra concerns as a first-time mom. One of the main reasons I chose LPG was the smaller class sizes, so he wouldn't be overwhelmed. I was nervous at first, but my worries quickly faded as I watched him grow and thrive. By the time he graduated, he not only had friends in his own class but also knew the names of kids from other classes. I am genuinely grateful to everyone at LPG for giving my son such a memorable preschool experience. You truly can't put a price on that!

The teachers here are truly wonderful. They are warm, caring, patient, and so loving with the children. My son is looked after extremely well every single day -- far better than many other preschools we've seen. Their communication is excellent. The teachers share daily updates, photos, and videos, which gives me so much peace of mind. They also respond very quickly whenever I message them. They take amazing care of each child's needs. If my son doesn't eat well during lunch, they will gently try again after nap time. And since he started here, he has never had diaper rash -- which shows how attentive and careful the teachers are. This preschool truly goes above and beyond. We feel very grateful to have found this place, and I highly recommend Learn, Play & Grow Preschool to any family looking for a safe, loving, and supportive environment for their child.

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.

My daughter has so many sweet memories--from the daily classroom activities to the exciting summer events like the petting zoo and hula dancing. Honestly, I'm not sure who looked forward to those more--her or me! I really appreciate that the school is tucked away from busy streets, with private playgrounds that feel safe and secure. The whole campus is always very clean and well-organized, which speaks volumes about how much they care. One of the things I've valued the most is the daily communication. For three years straight, I received updates on how my daughter was doing--whether she napped, how much she ate, and even little notes if her behavior changed.

My three daughters were…read moreenrolled there, but we were forced to leave after an upsetting and unprofessional incident involving my 16-month-old. At drop-off one morning, I informed the teacher that my baby had a dirty diaper. The teacher responded in an irritated tone and insisted it was diarrhea before properly checking. While changing her, the teacher removed all of my daughter's clothing--including her clean shirt and jacket--and refused to give them back when I asked. During the diaper change, the teacher handled my daughter in a manner that made her visibly uncomfortable and distressed. My baby was crying and clearly upset. When I calmly asked the teacher to please be more gentle, my concerns were dismissed and both teachers in the room became defensive. When the director, Ms. Haydee Galvez-Diaz, was called in, she immediately sided with the staff without listening to me. Instead of addressing my concerns about how my child was being handled, she asked the teacher if she felt attacked. I then asked Ms. Haydee if we can speak in private. As I'm trying to explain the situation that just occurred, She raised her voice, told me I was "not happy here," said she thinks I needed to find another place for my children, and walked away, slamming the door in my face. As a working mother, I left in tears and felt helpless because I had no immediate childcare alternative. My baby was picked up within a few hours and never returned. I have since removed all three of my children from this center. No parent should be treated this way for simply advocating for their child. Instead of professionalism and understanding, I was met with hostility and disrespect. I would not recommend Montessori of Via Verde to any family who wants to feel safe, heard, and supported.
