They made his transition into a school/daycare environment so smooth and memorable. The staff truly connects with each individual child. They work so hard to provide them both structure and comfort. My son perfected his potty training shortly after entering this school. He grew excited for school and loved every day he spent here. Miss Nancy was so kind and patient as my son is energetic, and was still learning to perfect sharing playing with others. She along with whole staff truly helped shape him to be ready for Kindergarten. They also take the time to host such amazing events for the parents and kids. Getting them excited and invested in school. My only complaint is I wish I would have started my son here earlier to enjoy this school and amazing staff longer. 100% recommend this amazing school to any parents in the area looking for childcare. They offer great prices flexible pick up hours and scheduling. We absolutely love them!

The school and play areas are very well kept, safe, and it genuinely feels welcoming. I highly recommend First Lutheran Preschool.

In the beginning, our son (18-month old) had challenges being with a group of friends and Mr. Dave, Ms. Ranum, and teachers had so much patience and positive attitude working with my son to overcome it. They assisted with the potty train process which helped us so much. The school also handled Covid situation well, and we never had to worry about it. Our son enjoys his time here. He makes good friends and he loves all the teachers from three different age classes. This place makes our parenting life to have one less thing to worry about. I recommend this school to all our friends and families. We have signed up our second son to be here and we will suggest you to take a tour to see it yourself!

Our child began with major separation anxiety, but thanks to the teachers who stuck by her side, she began dancing and having fun in as little as four days and the crying at drop-off stopped after 2 weeks, at which point she began to run inside to be with her teachers and friends. The facility is very clean, safe, and built with growing kids in mind. They have a really good curriculum and great activities in each classroom. In the toddler class (ages 18-36mo & where our child was) they have a 6-to-1 child/teacher ratio. If I had to complain about one thing, it's that I wish we could get more photos/videos and updates throughout the day, but since I also don't want the teachers on cell-phones all day long, it's an okay trade off knowing that our kid will come home happy everyday and sometimes with cool art projects in hand! The staff also does a great job notifying us of any incidents (booboos, bites, runny noses) that need our immediate attention or knowledge. They have a good, effective covid policy in place too and if I'm not mistaken only one child tested positive for covid since the pandemic began, but the child stayed home and quarantined. The entire school/staff was then dismissed to get tested and the results were all negative. To protect everyone, they check everyone's temps upon arrival and they won't hesitate to send children home for high temps or any covid-like symptoms. I would highly recommend anyone to come here, especially if it's their child's first school. They do a wonderful job.

The teachers take the time to really get to know each child, providing a nurturing environment where they can grow and thrive.

Such as, creative arts, sign language, outdoor interactive play, and encoraging emotional awareness.My kids are always coming home with new skills, stories, and artwork they are proud to show off. I'm also very appreciative that the staff take into consideration my kids being bilingual when interacring with them.

The communication from the staff is excellent, whether it's sharing updates on their day or addressing any questions I might have. The staff are just so amazing and always happy. My kids know the staff and have developed great bonds with them. I can never thank kiddie academy enough. Kiddie Academy is not just a daycare -- it's a second home for my little ones.

If your reading this congratulations you have found Heaven on Earth. Arcadia Episcopal Preschool…read more(AEP) is sincerely the greatest institution for nurturing your beloved little ones. As a parent our greatest desire is to love, nurture and guide my child. At AEP the staff...or Angels, whom go above and beyond the call of duty. In our experience of deciding where to entrust our precious Son factors of security, environment and development were paramount in our choice. I/we have made no greater choice than having enrolled our child here. Each and every staff member is truly an extension of our family. The rapport one builds is a lifetime from the parent-staff, staff-child and child-child is incredible. From our parental experience there is no handbook thorough enough to mentor us. But from Ms. Marie (director), Ms. Kim (assistant director), Ms. Anjali (Turtle class), Ms. Beth (seahorse class), Ms. Vicky (bear class), Ms. Frannie (dolphin class), Ms. Kelly, Ms. Debbie (retired), Ms. Stacy (retired) and Ms. Ivette (food preparer) they bestowed upon us throughout the years their invaluable insight and knowledge. Truthfully as 1st time parents they not only guide our child, but instill in us lessons that aide our adventures of parenting. We genuinely adore them and thank God for having blessed us with their unwaivering love and devotion. If I may elaborate on why AEP is so glorious is through the eyes of a toddler whom confides in us how loved and thrilled he is with his teachers and staff. It feeds our soul on how these Angels so selflessly yearns to mold these energetic bundles of joy. My Son would tell us of the heart felt hugs, the giggles, the conversations he has that makes him smile. As he express how he loves them and never wants to leave this school. Curricular wise is age based and is undoubtedly logically implemented. From encouragement and guidance the teachers fortify their needs through play and training. We often are so excited to see what he has acquired. I have watched my son develop in so many aspects that has layed a foundation I feel which will only propel him for the future. And I cannot express the shear joy we have had seeing him progress from an infant to toddler. From day one AEP has instilled confidence in our little one and us as well. I would enroll myself if I could ;p. As mentioned my son's love of this exemplary school is so great he decided to stay another year. You will experience unbridled joy as we have when your little ones sees their teachers off campus and schoolmates. It has been unequivocally the best decision we have made. I humbly and deeply thank ever Angel of AEP as they have touched our hearts, souls and minds. We are proud to be apart of AEP now and forever.

Arcadia Episcopal Preschool was the best decision we made before TK!…read more When my daughter first started at Arcadia Episcopal Preschool in December, she didn't understand English at all, and I was honestly worried about how she would adjust. But both Ms. Beth and Principal Ms. Marie gently reassured me: "Don't worry, she will catch up soon." And they were absolutely right. At first, she was too shy to speak at school due to the language barrier. But now, she has made so many friends and proudly brings home her artwork to share with us. What surprised me most is how well she's taken care of herself--and even our whole family! She now chats with our neighbors in English like it's no big deal. It's hard to believe this is the same little girl who used to cling to me quietly at drop-off. Her physical strength and coordination have also improved dramatically. Before preschool, she would get tired just from walking and always wanted me to carry her. Now, she runs around joyfully and hikes without a single complaint--her energy is amazing! None of this would have been possible without the love, care, and gentle guidance of the amazing teachers at Arcadia Episcopal Preschool. My entire family feels so grateful to have found such a nurturing and supportive school community. This preschool gave our daughter the strongest and happiest foundation before stepping into TK--and for that, we are truly thankful. Special thanks to Ms. Beth, Ms. Marie, Ms. Kim, and Ms. Anjali--and to all the amazing teachers who have helped our daughter grow with love, patience, and encouragement. Your support has made a lasting difference in her life. We will always remember your kindness and dedication. We feel truly blessed to have been part of this wonderful school community.

**Disclaimer: our son never went here (it was too far and even though I LOVE my tour we decided…read moreagainst driving half an hr everyday x 2 which we know can cause a lot of stress). This review is purely based off of my tour and the vibe I got. I had toured quite a few schools before enrolling my son in another preschool near our house (which we love). There were Montessori (both AMI and "inspired") schools, a posh school located in a rather affluent part of town, full immersion schools (Spanish/Mandarin). After touring so many schools, I had to say the most important thing for me is the teachers'/director's "vibe" and how well I think they will care for my child. This ain't a cram school for college. I don't need my kid to come out SAT style scoring a 1600 (or whatever the next "perfect score" will be). They need to be well cared for by loving care providers. And Playfactory had just that. Granted it was only a tour - but you can learn a lot about a place just during a thirty minute interaction. At some places I toured - kids were left crying by themselves with NO ONE checking in on them. The teachers were all there, seeing them cry, and did nothing. I really don't care if they teach Calculus, this is not acceptable. That was a hard no for me. At some other places, the director acted like my kid would be guaranteed a Harvard admission spot and sending them anywhere else would result in a detriment in their learning and development. We all know there are various ways of teaching and fostering learning. There is no one single way. I would not want my kid in a place where people think their way of doing things is superior. Hard pass. Come Playfactory - I had such a relaxing feeling the moment I spoke to Ms. Tammie. There was a girl who was crying for mom. Ms. Tammie knew her by name, crouched down and told her "I have a feeling it's almost mom time". She stopped crying immediately. When I came by the 2 year olds' classroom, this was after official school time was over so the kids were all independently playing, but they were all happy, calm, and their teacher was just around the corner prepping some stuff but always keeping an eye on them. All the teachers I interacted with were kind and seemed to not be overworked. For faculty - Playfactory gets an A+ from my tour. I also love how they have a HUGE play area. It was amazing, almost like Lacy Park vibe, which is really hard to find in most preschools. The kids do tree planting and care for their little gardens. It's the cutest thing. I am still a bit sad we didn't get to try Playfactory - not that we don't love our current school, but really the only factor that held us back from PF was the distance. I still recommend all my friends who live in the Temple City/Arcadia area to check them out.

We were searching for so many daycare around the SGV area and we came upon Playfactory Preschool. The school is located at a church. They have multiple rooms for the different age group. They have a large yard so they have plenty of space to play in. All the teachers my son had were wonderful with him. Ms. Wendy, Ms Maria, Ms Anna and Ms. Xing. My son loved Ms. Emma as well. She's the one who cooks lunch for the kids. He always came home happy. They are more play base than academics. They emphasize learning through play. This daycare is one of the more reasonable price daycare around this area which is a plus.

While I hardly write 1-star reviews, I need to share my experience so that other parents don't have…read moreto go through the frustration my family went through. (This happened pre-pandemic). During the tour, the director at the time (Billie) did her job to sell all of these promises to promote their school/daycare: your kids will grow up being best friends after they graduate, date night/child care offered on occasion (never happened), and even doing their best to follow your child's schedule for infant/toddler room. Everything looks good on a tour, seeing all of the kids during pick up, or waiving "bye" to the teachers. It seems like a happy front, but at the end of the day the school is too large and although they may have enough teachers to cover a classroom, they aren't always the same teachers with your kids grade level. When you don't have many infant child care options or everywhere else has a waitlist, you may see ACCP as an option that works for you. Maybe he 3/4 days or the "flexibility" with working with you and your child's needs. Unfortunately we faced quite a few problems during the months that our infant was enrolled here: -They take too many kids/are always short teachers (teachers always apologize that they were short a teacher for the day). -Although the ratio is 4:1 for infants, they can't manage the toddlers running and throwing hard toys at the infants. My child got hit by a hard toy and it left a bruise, but they didn't mention it to me/fill out an ouch report/only admitted to it when I pointed it out. -The teachers don't communicate to each other and they really don't take parents verbal communication & notes on daily sheet into consideration. Even after speaking with the director and documenting instructions over email, they weren't able to follow through. They make two attempts and just forego trying. -They really are set in their ways even though you tell them your child's needs. They continued to swaddle my child with BOTH arms in because it's easier for them/claims of my child not sleeping arms swaddled out. Well even though I told them and texted photos of my child who prefers sleeping tummy side down and their ability to roll over in their own, they still chose to do arms in. Unfortunately that is no longer safe when your child can flip back to front. -They weren't fostering safe napping practices because they can only move your infant to the sleeping room when they'll ALREADY fallen asleep in the combined infant/toddler room. I've seen toddlers face planted in the middle of the play room on a large dog bed and NOT a designated bed or cot. It wasn't a right fit for various reasons, but I hope that this review will at least give potential parents some insight of what to look for when choosing a daycare.
