    My sons attended from ages two to four and absolutely loved it. The schedule was a 9 a.m. drop-off…read moreand 5 p.m. pickup every day, at a price that was very reasonable. Wendy, the director, was professional and always available whenever questions came up. It's clear the school is run with genuine respect for both children and parents. Compared with other high-cost programs in Southern California, this school offers excellent value. While we were there, the child-to-adult ratio was roughly one adult for every four to eight children, which allowed time for one-on-one development. They also had rotating teacher helpers who stepped in as needed for breakout situations. The school also invests in community-building through holiday celebrations and seasonal programs. It's the kind of place families remember fondly years later.

    This is my truth; I would not recommend this daycare or school. The way the director handled my…read moreson's situation did not align with the school's mission, which claims to promote diversity, allow students to grow at their own pace, and help them achieve success. Instead of helping behavioral kids improve, this school chooses to remove them. My son started in September 2025, but it only lasted two months. He was 27 months old when we decided to disenroll him, and it felt like we were forced to do so. September started off well, and I was hopeful this daycare was right for him. In October, however, there were many reported behavioral issues, and he was sent home almost every day he attended. He was only enrolled part-time on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. It started with biting. Apparently, there was no way to redirect or stop him, even though it happened right in front of the teachers' feet. This lasted two weeks. After that, it was hitting for a week, then throwing toys. We couldn't find the reason why he was doing this at school but not at home. Every conversation I had with the teacher or director was different, and their stories conflicted. The teachers would say his behavior was appropriate for his age, but the director would say the same thing, then add that my son should know better by now. As a first-time mom, it's hard to hear that my son is causing harm to other students. I could only do so much at home, and he was not doing these things there. When asked, there were many excuses: -he's overstimulated, language barrier, lack of communication, he's not around many 2-year-olds and at home it's only mom and dad, he's doing it all unprovoked, he would be a better fit in a smaller classroom with one-on-one support, there is no way of stopping him and if he wants something he just goes for it, why are we denying speech therapy (when the director did not know that when we spoke with the NorCal consultant, she said we could add it if the evaluator felt my son needed it, and as parents we did not feel he had a speech issue for his age), we budgeted to bring in another teacher to help, which didn't happen until a week before his disenrollment because I told them we were meeting with the NorCal referral people and were trying to make it work until then. My son started a new daycare a week after leaving Early Foundation, and he is doing great there. It wasn't all my son's doing, because two other students from his class at Early Foundation also joined after my son left. This shows they are not equipped to handle behavioral problems as they claim, and it's sad how easily they give up on a toddler. When I asked about a partial refund since my son did not attend the whole month of October, which I paid for out of pocket and not with any assistance, the director said no. Even though he was not there, he was sent home for bad behavior and kept a spot another child could have had. That, to me, shows it is all about business and greed. I did get a refund for Halloween, when I kept my son home because I was sure they didn't want him there anymore. Even depositing that refund felt embarrassing. We continued with the NorCal parent-infant program referral, just to give us some ease as first-time parents. All the consultants who came to evaluate my son said there was nothing wrong and that he didn't qualify for any assistance. So, if you are looking for a place that can handle many 2-year-olds and actually has the patience to help them grow, this is not the place!
