As a mother I was so worried how the teachers will treat my baby and other kids, however I can say this school has taught her letters, numbers, sharing, etc. Her teach Ms. Brandy is a God sent.

My son attended KinderCare Ontario, starting in the infant class and later moving into the toddler…read moreclass. In the infant room, I didn't have many major concerns, although I did notice issues with cleanliness at times, as my son frequently came home sick with hand, foot, and mouth disease or other viral infections. Once he transitioned into the toddler class, my concerns increased. The environment often felt unorganized, with one teacher responsible for what seemed like a large group of around 15 children. Around 5:00 PM, older children were sometimes combined with the toddlers, which made me uncomfortable. My son had several incident reports, but when I asked for details, staff were often unsure of what happened, and in some cases, incident reports were not properly documented. There was also an instance where my son injured his lip and it reportedly took about 30 minutes for him to receive an ice pack, which was very concerning. On another occasion, he came home with sticks in his diaper, and there was even a time he came home with a black eye. Overall, I felt the facility was understaffed and that management did not adequately address staffing levels relative to the number of children enrolled. While the teachers did provide activities for the children, it was difficult for them to maintain consistent supervision with so many children and limited staff. Based on my experience, I personally would not recommend this location.

So this review is long overdue on my part. The main thing…read moreis that my son absolutely loves this school and I do too. The 2nd main thing is thay Mrs. Ariana is by far the best teacher I have ever met and she is absolutely amazing. Ok now for a few more details...I originally started looking for a daycare about 2 years ago for my son who was a little over 1 year old at the time. I did a lot of research and looked at over 6 different ones. I eventually went with Tutor Time in Eastvale but Monty's was my 2nd choice. I 110% regret going with Tutor Time. If you want details as to why that school was so bad, look at my review on their page or private message me. Anywho, after taking my son out of Tutor Time, I revisited all the daycares I originally looked at and ended up enrolling my son at Montys. Not only was Montys way cheaper (almost half the price) than Tutor Time but within a few days my son was going to school smiling and no longer crying and clinging to my legs or his father's legs. My son is now in the 2 year old class and like I already said, his main teacher, Mrs. Ariana, is absolutely wonderful. You can tell she loves her job and really knows how to deal with all the kiddos. She is also really sweet and puts up with me texting her and asking about how my son is doing on a daily basis. The rest of the teachers also seem to be very nice and most importantly, my son is beyond happy there. The school is definitely a bit dated, and they don't offer a parent app like some school do but they offer a safe and happy environment for my son and that's all I care about. I would highly recommend this school and I the only regret I have is not going with them from the beginning.

My concern is specifically with the director, not the teachers or entire staff. I understand that…read moredealing with conflicts between children and families is not easy, but that is also why someone in a director position needs to remain neutral and consistent and not make decisions based on personal relationships with the families. There is a difference between enforcing school policies and personally involving yourself in a conflict based on emotions or assumptions. This became especially concerning in an incident involving a child who was repeatedly being bitten and hit by another student, resulting in bruises and eventually a fear of going to school at all. While I understand there are procedures the school must follow when addressing incidents between students, my concern is with how the director handled the situation beyond those procedures. From what I witnessed, she became personally involved and appeared to let her own emotions and assumptions influence her response rather than remaining neutral. All in all, my takeaway is that if your child ever has an issue involving another family at this school, I would hope that family does not have a close relationship with the director. Based on what I witnessed, I would have serious concerns about whether both sides would be treated equally and without favoritism.

UPDATE RESPONSE TO THE DIRECTOR:…read more Hi Linda, I need to correct what you said because that is not what happened. I did NOT verbally confront another parent. I saw the family in a parking lot, and my daughter was actually afraid of their child. I told her it was okay and encouraged her to go say hi. I introduced myself, and I had my daughter say hi to their child. & Said we should do play dates etc. since there's been a behavioral concern between them and a play date would help etc. & You know this because I specifically told you this when you called me yelling saying I confronted her. Then you said sorry she must have just been embarrassed about it cus she was crying to you. She didn't even say I confronted her, you just assumed and later acknowledged that wasn't the case after I explained what happened, so please don't misrepresent what happened. What also bothered me was what happened during our conversation. You told me that the family's other son was very ill (I won't mention the exact condition you told me out of respect for the other family's privacy) and that the mother had been crying to you about the situation. I have empathy for what their family is going through, but then you told me that I should apologize to them when I see them, even though I did not confront them or do anything to them. That was the part that really left me questioning the situation. And frankly, given how close you are with this family, your response makes me question how neutral this situation is actually being handled. I understand that you have a responsibility to remain neutral, but that same standard needs to apply to how my actions are being represented. And our issue was from day 1 I came to you about another child hitting mine. I had prior 2 meetings with you before I spoke with the parent. So please don't misrepresent what happened. It's not even about the incident itself, it's how you painted us as the bad person and tried to cover for the other family making excuses saying "they are great family, he's a boy and boys are wild, he's the youngest" those reasons don't matter. if a child hits bites another child you should believe the parent coming forward and try to help instead of taking other family's side. And it's funny you didn't try to believe me at first because you didn't know I had incident reports and teachers telling me about the hitting incidents at first. Your attitude towards it all was extremely disappointing. You are the reason why we left, not because of the incident itself. -------------------------------------------- Stay away from this preschool. We left this preschool, mainly because the director's rude attitude when we raised concerns after repeated incidents of our child coming home hurt, reporting being hit and bitten. When we brought these issues up, DIRECTOR seemed to side with the other family who appeared to have a close relationship with them, consistently sided with them and made us feel like maybe our concerns weren't believed making us feel unheard. Those experiences, and the discourteous way our concerns were handled led us to leave.

All teachers are wonderful and very patient and kind. Teacher Jerry, also the manager, is very understanding and knowledgeable. They even have a security guard at the door that's there (not always).

Other than that, amazing place and hope to return one day. Thank you Heavenly Care!

Additionally this person with the 1-star review has a total of 14 reviews on yelp and 12 of them are 1-2 star reviews... it says a lot when you have terrible experiences everywhere you go.... I have a 4 year old daughter and a 2 yr old son. Both my kids have been at Heavenly Care since they were 3 months old. Today I had to give my notice to take them to another school because we are moving and I broke down crying. I love this place so much. If it wasn't so far from our new house I would have driven quite a bit out of the way to keep my kids here. In fact this place is currently a 15-20 min drive from my house and I gladly make the drive because my kids love it so much. I have known other parents who also drive pretty far to come here. Both of my kids excelled here. They did an amazing job helping to Potty train my daughter. By the time my kids were 18 months they could count to 10, sing their "ABCDs" (as my kids call it) and they knew all their shapes and colors. My 4 year old knows what a trapezoid and rumbus are... I didn't even know what a rumbus was until I saw my daughter teaching my 2 year old. Lol I can't say enough about this school. The teachers are all amazing. My kids still go back to the baby class and give hugs and say hi to the teachers in that class. My children formed serious bonds with these teachers. They talk about them at home and my kids have NEVER had a bad experience here. Even with my 2year old being a bit of a handful. These teachers truly care about my kids. They talk about their development and ask me questions about how we handle things at home or they give me advice as to what is working for them. They sing lots of songs, do lots of art, learn every day. At 2yrs and up they provide food. They are very accommodating of allergies or anything your kids need. My daughters best friends are at this school. I've even become close with the parents of the other kids and we go to birthday parties and have Disney play dates out side of school. I recommend this place 1,000 times over again for anyone looking for a preschool/daycare in the area.

I am a student studying child development-- how young brains develop and grow and what they need to do that best. It's like they took the textbook on how to make the best preschool and did the exact opposite. I only observed the two year old class for three hours, so I can't comment on much else. But my god. The kids weren't allowed to do anything. During nap time they were forced to lie down and not talk, and if you didn't want to nap, just stare at the walls, I guess. Even during snack, if you were done eating, you were not allowed to even get up from the table. There weren't even any toys outside OR inside! No shovels, no blocks, no stuffed animals, nothing. Half of the playground was made off limits because they dug a hole! A HOLE!!! With their hands because they're not allowed to have any play tools! They're so desperately hungry for any stimulation, a few of them just stared at a dead lizard outside of the fence for like ten minutes. I wish I was making this up. And because there is nothing to do, the kids pass the time by hitting each other and trying to get any attention from the teachers. With the place already understaffed, it's a nightmare. The most depressing thing is, this could all change in like two weeks of the director was willing to change at all. I spoke to some of the teachers, and they know exactly what is wrong, but can't do anything because Big Boss Up Top refuses to listen to anyone. I asked her why, and she told me "because they have to learn their ABCs." Micromanaging and stressing out your staff and students does not help them learn. Running a classroom like a meat farm does not teach them anything besides helplessness and frustration! Two and three year olds are supposed to be developing their independence at this age, but all of these kids were dead quiet and had no idea how to interact with anything. I'm actively begging you not to send your kids here. Please.

I told her we were just Christian.. she said what kind of Christian.. I said.. well, I was raised Mormon (because I'm honest) I didn't say this part.. Finding myself and my truth was the hardest thing I've ever done. Breaking away from the Mormon church in Utah.. was no easy task. However I did it for me and my kids and I'm proud of the choices I've made. I don't care for organized religion. So.. I told her we were christian. Because we believe in Christ. I'm open to it all. Catholics, Protestant, Mormons, Even atheist. Because I don't judge. I just love. She then said.. We don't accept Mormons. I said... I just told you we aren't Mormon. (Haven't been for 10 years) She said. Oh right. You said that. She proceeded to say that people new to the area need to establish a church and wait 3 months. Then get a pastor reference. I get it. I'm a rule follower. However, am I suppose to put my kids in public for 3 months? Then switch them as they're getting acclimated? Or just not put my kids in school and wait to see if they accept us. Already judging us? That's not very Christ like. I don't care to be apart of a school or church that's judge mental. That's one reason I left the Mormon religion. The lack of knowledge and lack of understanding was a humbling conversation for me. After her saying all that. I said, You know what? I don't think this school is right for us.
