This review is long overdue and I cannot say enough wonderful things about WIM! 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.

The staff puts together events for the kids year around, as well as allows the parents to celebrate the kids birthday in school. I highly recommend this school/day care for anyone in the Covina area.

Discovery Montessori Preschool is truly AMAZING! My son has been attending since he was only 2…read moreyears old. 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!

We have Ms. Lily as our room teacher who is the BEST! She is warm, patient, and truly care about each child. The environment is joyful and nurturing, and it's been a few months and my daughter has grown so much in confidence and happiness. It feels like a second home, and we're so grateful for the love and care they show every day.

They are loved on, cared for, and educated so well every day! My older daughter recently started KG and in her start of the year assessment for early literacy, she tested at the level of a 1st grader who had completed 20% of their school year already! That was in most part due to the hard work of the amazing teachers at LPG over her 3.5 years there. Small classes and a tight nit community. We love LPG so much and you can feel the love of each teacher and administrator! Lots of communication and support for parents. And price wise I also find it to be more affordable than what many of my friends were paying.

There's many places I could start this, however, I'll keep it short. LPG truly is amazing…read more Education and guided play are a major part of their program. All of the teachers and admin staff care for our littles as their own. With small classrooms (student to teacher ratio), they are able to give ample attention to each child. They are on top of communication and open to any questions regarding curriculum. Price for tuition is comparable to other Christian programs in the area, with multiple schedules available to accommodate family schedules. Couldn't recommend LPG more

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.

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 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.

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.

My daughter would cry when I dropped her off my son would have a poopy diaper when I would pick them up & it happened 3 times I knew I had to find my kids another better school.

I am extremely disappointed with our experience at Montessori of Via Verde. 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.

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.
