She called me…read moreback after some confusion with my tour scheduled by the hotline agents servicing other centers. She explained that this specific center has a long wait and they do not anticipate cancellations. She did not want us to go through the process if my son is going to age out by the time there's availability. I explained that my son has ASD and she even took the time providing info about where her previous kindergarten graduates with ASD went next that I may want to explore. It was such a pleasant surprise for someone to take the time calling me back let alone recommending other options when they will not get anything out of it. I have a bit of regret though not discovering this place sooner and possibly having been able to send my son here. Thank you again, Ms. Amber. To this mom who has been so conflicted and confused, your recommendations opened up more possibilities for us to explore. More power to you and the center!

I am looking to bring my second child here after my first was here through the pandemic. My child…read morewas in Kindercare from toddler to preschool. I chose this site due to the location and other parents recommendations. I was not disappointed. When my child was a toddler the teachers were wonderful helping my son transition in and cry every time I left. They helped him with his feelings and lovingly distracted him. When the vocabulary was lagging they very gently told me and I was able to get him evaluated. Long story short, he impressed everyone with his verbal abilities now. I could have moved him to preK at a public school at age 4 but I am glad I did not. He is now in kindergarten and doing great. I must comment on price and the number of adults per child. I thought the price was reasonable. Education has to be invested in for our children. If you want additional education for your children then you are going to pay a little bit extra. If you don't like it, well sorry to be the first to tell you that our society doesn't value children or women much. If it did, then our teachers would be paid more and our schools would not be dealing with a ratio of 1 teacher to 25 students. I think the job done at the center is completely worth the cost when I was there and now. They got us through very tough times without extra pay. I am grateful for the teachers and staff. I have to say they taught me some techniques as a parent. I will try to get my second child into this center as well.

The Staff is amazing... - Ms Stephanie is AMAZING!!! She is so kind and very relatable to kids! One of my son was privilege to be in her class. He was so happy to attend school. She kept the communication open and was very approachable. My other son was in Mrs Adrianna class!! My son had behavior issues in one of the other teachers class but when he was moved to Mrs Adrianna class - he changed! She is seasoned educator and works well with kids! She is a great communicator and is so kind! My son can have melt downs and she was able to calm him and get him back on track... that's what I call a veteran teacher. Someone who can deal with all type of children with patience and show them love in the process! The location can be off-putting for some but inside this Building is a GEM ! They kept the facility clean and everything is self contained. I never worried about my kids health or safety! The play area is huge! The eating area and sleeping quarters are super cute! I'm sad that we had to cut our youngest kids year short (due to COVID19 and my youngest will be going to kindergarten in the fall). I will truly miss this place and the staff!!! Thank you for your support!!!

I want to share my recent experience to help other families avoid going through the same situation…read more I specifically asked for financial assistance and grant information BEFORE even scheduling a daycare tour, because cost is a major factor for my family. The program director, Savi, told me that the information could not be provided until after paying a fee. After paying $125, I later learned from the funding agency that there is a waiting list over a year long, and we are currently #49. The agency also stated that providers are fully aware of these waitlists and should be disclosing this before collecting any fees. To make things worse, I was later told there was an assumption that I was already approved for assistance--which is completely untrue and contradicts the email chain. On April 9th, I was told we would need to be approved first before selecting a school, by the program director confirming we were starting the process from scratch. Because of the lack of transparency, my child still cannot attend daycare, and we were put in an unnecessary financial and childcare bind. Please, if you are a parent searching for childcare, make sure you: * Ask about funding, grant programs, and waitlists BEFORE paying any fees * Request all terms and information in writing * Verify timelines and eligibility directly with the funding agency * Confirm that the daycare is being fully transparent I'm sharing this so other families can be informed and avoid unnecessary stress during an already challenging process. Program Director did agree to refund me, so I am waiting fot the refund.

As I walked over to the restrooms they were locked. Evidently they run this "Kinder Care" program and informed me that I could not use the restroom because it was connected to their "Kinder Care". Mind you I'm disabled and 69 years old. I just needed to pee. Finally after almost begging to pee, the unsympathetic gentleman now walked over with some children and informed me I could not be in the restroom with them to wait. I then proceeded to ask him to open the men's room, again, I just needed to pee! He finally allowed me to pee with such an awkward attitude. It's a shame people don't treat the elderly with more respect. I would not want that kind of empathy around my children. He needs better social skills! Especially being a person who manages kids. Thank you! (I think!)

My personal experience has been one only God could orchestrate. I'm a single mother with a lot on her plate and my baby girls have been to four different preschools over the last two years. Going through a divorce has us moving around a lot trying to figure out our next moves. I loved Kindercare Cerritos but when we moved with family it became too far and too expensive. Finding Greenwood Avenue Kindercare was a miracle. They are much smaller which is why it was hard to get both my girls in but it was God's timing when they could take them both. Derrick (the director), Ms. Jasmine (assistant director), and my girls teacher Mrs. Gina, (and frankly every single teacher at that school) have been angels to my girls!!! It rips my heart knowing it will end soon and I wish I found this school earlier but I know they came when I needed them most! Derrick has helped me far beyond what one is called to do. He has worked blessings that I tend to question instead of allowing God to work through wonderful people. All this to say, they are humans, they will make mistakes but I know good people when I meet them, and the staff here are good, kind, loving people that my girls adore. I am so thankful for them all!

Long overdue review-…read more It pains me to write this but, as a parent, I want to save future parents who are considering this care center. Daycare is not easy to find and especially not easy to change so please consider my words as cautionary. Discoveryland USED TO BE a wonderful place until after August 2020. Make no mistake, no facility is perfect. You have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages yourself and consider the impact to your family. I loved this place for 3 years, we made lots of wonderful friends and memories. I never felt as if my kids were mistreated, in danger or neglected until recently. The turnover here is appalling. Kids need consistency. My review is not to take away from the staff who care for the children but, to bring light to the inadequate oversight to Discoveryland. My children were in the Bear and Rainbow room when we finally left. My complaints are mainly with the Bear (2-3 year olds) room. Consistency is so important with small kids, they thrive on having a schedule, reliable routines and familiar faces. The wonderful staff that was in the Bear room left, there were over 7 teacher changes in less than 5 months. The director would not provide additional support to the long tenured teachers so they left and she replaced the head teacher with someone that was not qualified. This replacement teacher was not equipped to deal with rambunctious toddlers and ultimately succumbed to the stress. How do I know this? I was the target of her frustrations one morning when she screamed at me in front of a room of children. Horrifying to be yelled at in front of my children and even more horrifying to imagine her behavior when another adult was not present. I was called to pick up my daughter because her nose was bleeding and she wouldn't let the staff help her. Kids are intuitive and very smart, they pickup on feeling and react to it. My daughter was not comfortable with the teacher and didn't feel safe. Her intuition was spot on. The teachers are not treated as well as they deserve and it shows. Multiple emails over the course of months to the director, administration, pastor, and staff were IGNORED. Not a peep. It wasn't until licensing was called in for violations (of which have been miraculously resolved or found unsubstantiated) that angry parents were addressed in a sad Zoom meeting full of empty promises. All the parents needed was acknowledgment of our frustrations and an open dialogue. What we received was months of ignored emails, excuses and deflection. How does a childcare facility that claims to be cloaked in faith knowingly ignore parents?
