She gets 5 stars in my book. The reason my review is only 2 stars is because the director Laurie is horrible. After the school reopened they changed their structure and must have been overwhelmed because Laurie kicked my son out of the program after 2 days. My son is energetic and needed time to adjust to routine and structure. I put him in school to learn to socialize with other kids not because I needed childcare. They were unwilling to work with me to improve his behavior. As a nurse working in the pandemic I understand the stress of COVID and the importance of communication with family members. Laurie does not understand this concept and decided to give up on my sweet child. If you are looking for a preschool and your child is energetic I would highly recommend looking elsewhere because they don't have the patience or willingness to help your child learn.

From…read morethe moment I took a tour of the school to now this school has been surprising me and my family day after day!! My son has been going to the patch for one year and he is register for another one... he LOVES it! It is a school where kids are allowed to be kids - they explore, they feel and they get messy!Your kid's unique personality will be respected, they will be heard, their little opinions matters and their ideas are heard and when possible executed (or a version of it! lol). Kids are outside all the time, in nature and use their imagination to play. The whole concept of the school is unique, personal and a concept that more school should follow. They truly respect your kids and their family. We are a community at Patch, a big family! Like all things... nothing is perfect! There will always be room for improvement and Sally (the director) always try her best and find ways to improve things. It is a young school with more and more students... and like everything they will get better and better with the years... The teachers are amazing, passionate and great with the kids. The way they talk to your kids is beautiful - instead of ordering them around they make kids think for themselves, let the kids make their own choices (with safety of course), the way they solve an argument over a toy or whatever, is so respectful of the kid's feelings from both parties... they solve issues with kids learning from it and becoming better little beings. A Little Patch of Earth is my son's second home! I can go on and on... I have to say this school isn't for everyone... some people prefer a more traditional education which is totally fine... Thank you Patch teachers for your amazing work, dedications and love for the school and the all the kiddos!

We are so grateful to have found Great Beginnings Daycare for our two boys. Our oldest attended for…read morethree years, and finding a bilingual daycare was especially important to our family. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed, supported, and completely at ease with the entire staff. All the teachers are warm, caring, loving, and attentive. They created an environment where our children felt safe, valued, and genuinely happy. It truly felt as though we were leaving them with extended family. During his time at Great Beginnings, our 4-year-old grew in so many ways. He learned his numbers and letters, learned to write his name, and developed vocabulary and communication skills that amazed us. He loved his teachers so deeply that he would often tell us how excited he was to see Mrs. Irene. Our experience with the infant room was just as wonderful. Leaving our baby in someone else's care can be difficult, but the infant teachers Mrs. Alex and director Mrs. Rosie gave us complete peace of mind. They were attentive, communicative, and thoughtful, always keeping us informed about any changes they noticed and making sure our baby was comfortable and well cared for. One of the greatest comforts was seeing how happy our boys were each day. Drop-off was met with smiles, and we knew they were spending their days in a safe, nurturing, and loving environment. That happiness meant everything to us. Unfortunately, we recently moved out of state. If we had stayed, our boys would have continued at Great Beginnings until kindergarten. Leaving was honestly one of the hardest parts of our move because we were saying goodbye not only to a daycare, but to people who had become an important part of our children's lives. Thank you to every teacher, staff member, and the director for loving our boys, encouraging their growth, and caring for them as if they were your own. We will always be grateful for the memories, confidence, and strong foundation you gave them.

But soon enough, I started to feel comfortable with the caring staff, and my daughter--now a college student--still remembers them fondly. Now, years later, my niece (kindergarten) and nephew (toddler class) attend Great Beginnings. It's so heartwarming to see that some of the same wonderful staff are still there after all this time. Our family has had such a positive experience over the years. We love that Great Beginnings provides breakfast, lunch, and supper, along with a weekly music class and dance class. One of my favorite things is attending the Christmas, Halloween, and Graduation performances--seeing my niece and nephew on stage is always such a joy. I'm truly happy that our family continues to be a part of the Great Beginnings community!

She is very hands on and is an amazing teacher. They are allowed to be children and explore the world around them. They do gardening, play in the mud, and many outdoor activities where they can learn through play. The children are taught values: how to be kind and respectful, how to be a good friend and of course academics. The smaller class size means that your child will get better quality of education versus a class of 29 in public school. After my 4th child graduated kindergarten, it was a no brainer for me to enroll my 5th child at Rise and Shine. My 5th child has learned and grown so much since starting kindergarten! He developed love for God and enjoys praying and reading his bible before going to bed. Don't be fooled though, the academic portion of the kindergarten class is really challenging and at the end of the day your child will surprise you with what he's learned in class. We really love Teacher Jeannie and Rise and Shine. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for them. Even if you have Teacher Jeannie as your teacher, you will feel that the school has a family atmosphere. Every one knows your child by name and truly cares. My only regret is not discovering them sooner with my 3 older children and I still pray that they open up elementary classes! That would be the dream!

I am writing this review because I believe prospective parents deserve to know about our experience…read moreat Montessori Stevenson Ranch. My son attended the school between approximately ages 2 and 3. He is now 4 1/2, and since leaving, he has attended three other schools. Two were private schools, and the feedback from each has consistently been that he is intelligent, friendly, well-behaved, and academically advanced. At his current school, he was leading his class in reading and was recently moved up into a Kindergarten class because of his academic ability. I want to be clear that I am not writing this review simply because Montessori Stevenson Ranch was not considered the right fit for my son. I am writing because there were two incidents during his time there that I have never forgotten and that I believe other parents should be aware of. During his enrollment, we were repeatedly called into meetings with the principal regarding our then-two-year-old's behavior. It became so frequent that another school administrator was brought in to observe my son. We were made to feel as though our two-year-old was unusually problematic, which was difficult to reconcile with the feedback we received from his subsequent schools. The first incident occurred during circle time. My son was rolling around on the rug with another child. That child was wearing boots and stomped on my son's eye, causing an injury that split the area open and came close to requiring stitches. What continues to bother me is that the focus of the school's response was on my son's activity during circle time rather than appropriately addressing the fact that another child had stomped on his face. Nearly two years later, my son still has a visible scar from that injury, and it remains a painful reminder of that experience. The second incident is the one that concerns me most. One morning during drop-off, I realized I had accidentally left my son's water bottle in my car. I immediately walked back to retrieve it and returned less than a minute later. When I attempted to open the classroom door, something was blocking it. I went around to the back entrance and discovered that my two-year-old son was lying face-down on the floor, crying, with his body positioned against the door. There were three adults in the room at the time: the teacher, the principal, and the front office clerk. Rather than immediately assisting my crying two-year-old, they were standing nearby with their arms behind their backs, watching him. This was during drop-off, when other parents and children were entering the classroom, creating an obvious possibility that he could have been hurt by someone trying to open the door. When I asked what was happening, the teacher immediately began attending to my son, and he calmed down. As a mother, seeing my two-year-old lying face-down and crying while multiple adults stood watching was deeply disturbing. I remember having to consciously maintain my composure because there were other young children in the classroom. I was extremely upset, but I remained professional. Ultimately, we decided to remove our son from the school. That decision created significant logistical and family challenges because we were living and working in the area at the time. We temporarily had to rely on a relative's school much farther away, resulting in an extremely long daily commute, before eventually transitioning to schools in the Valley that proved to be a much better environment for him. Most importantly, time and experience have given me perspective. My son's subsequent teachers and administrators have consistently recognized his intelligence, social development, positive behavior, and academic abilities. His current school has even advanced him academically because he was performing ahead of his grade level. Every child and every school is different, and I understand that not every environment will be the right fit for every child. However, I believe parents should pay close attention to how a school responds to a very young child, particularly when that child is injured or distressed. I am sharing this review so parents considering Montessori Stevenson Ranch can make an informed decision and ask questions about supervision, incident response, classroom management, and how young children are supported when they are struggling emotionally or behaviorally.

Notre Dame has truly become family to us. We have been part of the Notre Dame family for five years…read morenow, and I honestly cannot imagine having trusted anyone else with our children during these early years. Our oldest daughter started at 15 months old, our second daughter started at just 5 months old, and now our newest little one will be starting at 3 months. I think that alone speaks to the level of trust we have in the owners, teachers, and staff. There is no greater peace of mind as a parent than knowing your children are somewhere they are safe, loved, cared for, and genuinely known. As working parents without a lot of family nearby, Notre Dame has also been an incredible support system for our family. Their hours from 7 AM to 6 PM are extremely convenient and considerate of working families. They even offer occasional date night evenings, which have been such a gift to us. Being able to go to dinner or see a movie and have adult time while knowing our children are with people we already know and trust is priceless. Both of our older daughters have now graduated from the preschool program, but they still attend Notre Dame for after-school care. Notre Dame picks them up directly from school, which makes our lives so much easier and allows them to remain connected to a place that has been such a big part of their childhood. We have also loved the enrichment classes Notre Dame offers. Our girls participated in each of the programs, including cooking, art, and Spanish, and genuinely enjoyed them. We really appreciated having opportunities for them to learn, explore their creativity, and try new things in a fun environment with people they already knew and felt comfortable with. There are so many other little things that make a difference here as well. They offer home-cooked lunches at a very reasonable price, and when our children reached the potty-training stage, their teachers were incredibly supportive and worked alongside us to help make the transition from pull-ups to using the potty successful and much less stressful. Most importantly, you can see how much love and care the owners put into the facility and into the children. After five years, we have experienced Notre Dame through infancy, toddlerhood, preschool, graduation, and now after-school care, and we are still choosing them for our newest baby. That says everything. We are incredibly thankful we found Notre Dame. For families looking for a place where you can truly feel that your children are safe and cared for while also having people who understand and support the realities of working parents, I cannot recommend them enough.
