She always keeps me up to date with his progress and any issues. She is easy to talk to and every time I have had a question regarding my sons grade, hw or behavior she takes the time to answer my question at the door entrance and doesn't make me request a conference. In the beginning of the school year he had a little issue with his tummy and she always accommodated him and made him feel comfortable. We also don't celebrate many holidays and she was always very respectful about our belief's and never made my child feel odd or singled out. My son loves her! From the beginning of the school year up until now I saw a major improvement in his reading skills in both English and Spanish. If your child starts kinder here I hope you get her as a teacher-her class even had the most students win the reading trophy at the end of the school year!

All teachers, staff and, Management are very friendly and make you feel like family, especially Teacher Christina, Miriam, Maday, Ms C, well all of them, "Bully is not allowed". This is the last year for my oldest kid and I'm worried I will not be able to find another School like this one. I highly recommended. Thanks to all teachers, staff and Management for all great work!!!

As a close friend of someone who was recently hired at Kids Playhouse Learning Center, I feel…read morecompelled to speak up about how unprofessionally this workplace handled their hiring process. My friend was offered a teaching position, completed all onboarding paperwork, signed a one-year contract, and had already begun preparing for the school year. A full month went by with everything moving forward--only for her to receive a sudden phone call informing her that the position was no longer hers. Why? Because a former teacher, who had initially said she would not return after maternity leave, had changed her mind. This is completely unacceptable and shows a lack of integrity and professionalism. To onboard someone, have them sign a contract, and then revoke that offer due to indecisiveness on the school's part is not only disorganized but incredibly disrespectful to educators who are committed to making a difference. If this is how they treat their staff before the school year even begins, I can only imagine the instability it creates for the students and families who rely on consistency. Proceed with caution--both as a parent and as a potential employee.

My child has been attending this school for several years and I see how she grows every year both academically and spiritually. The classrooms are small - about 15 to 1 ratio. And the teachers are loving and caring with the children. But they also challenge them to learn and provide the perfect atmosphere for children to blossom. The principal, Mrs. Cassariego, is a very good leader and very involved in the schools day-to-day activities. I am proud to have my daughter at this school. Go Cudas!

Mother Of Our Redeemer is an utterly abysmal institution, and you would be wise to shield your…read moreoffspring from its gates. While their promotional imagery presents a polished facade, the reality within those walls is downright dreadful. Mrs. Casariego, the principal, does absolutely nothing but smirk for the cameras, peddling the blatant lie that this is an excellent academy. She squanders resources upgrading her own lavish office while remaining willfully blind to her atrocious faculty. This establishment desperately requires a complete purge of both its leadership and teaching staff. In fact, the notoriously abrasive Mrs. Torres was rightfully terminated by the school board because she was a walking catastrophe. Furthermore, the educators here do not teach; they simply spoon-feed the students. Mr. Terron, my son's math teacher, habitually plastered the answer keys directly on the board because he lacks the competence to actually instruct. My children pay excellent attention and earn straight A's in every other subject, yet math yielded an F solely due to this wretched instruction. My son was an advanced honor roll student at his previous school, but this place tanked his record and cost him his accolades. To make matters worse, the music teacher, Ms. Natasha, treated my daughter with pure hostility. The staff only dropped their fake acts and confessed to the school's internal rot during the summer when I announced our departure. My children used to pile into the car looking utterly miserable every single day, and their joy only returned the moment I pulled them out of that environment. To top it all off, the physical facility itself is utterly filthy. Watch how quickly the administration scrambles to delete this review, simply because they cannot handle the unvarnished, disgraceful truth.

The staff is awesome and you can tell they really love their students. Mrs. J is the best.read more

This school is by far the worst decision I have ever made. The only students allowed to do whatever…read morethey please is the children of the employees already there. They do not have to respect uniform policy, they have their cellphone on them the whole time, they can take electronic devices example fans and place on their desk and if it bothers the other kids it's not a problem. Everyone is family in this school so they all cover up for each other. Since day one they have had a problem with my son. I had paid tuition for this year and because of an incident which involved my son and another student they decided to throw my son out of the school and they are refusing to pay me back both enrollment fees for my two sons. This school only cares for money they don't care about making the world a better place. The people there treat you bad like if they are God and they are doing you a favor when each kid in the school represents 20k plus the lunch which can only be paid in cash and it's $7/8 dollars daily and mind you can only be pain in cash. They also make it an obligation to sell chocolates for their school. If you do not then guess what you don't graduate. Very disturbed with everything going on in this school and also the way the teachers chase students around needs to be investigated.

I had to leave a review due to Principals Day and there's no other woman nor person I'd want my kids to look up to as a leader in a Catholic community.

The first place your child will be singled out and experience discrimination is at school by Barbara Picazo. She has consistently demonstrated this behavior, she has biases and preferences towards students and she will target young boys of color. Considering the current state of the world, one would think that a catholic school and archdiocese would hire faculty that create a safe space for our children. It's been quite the opposite with BarbaraPicazo. Also - did anyone else notice that she is the person with the most complaints on these reviews? This pattern speaks for itself. What a shame!

My son…read morehas been going to this school now for two years and I couldn't be more happier with my son's turnout. From the administration to the students, this school is a family environment! The administration staff (principal included) is very hands on and knows all of their students! The principal is out front and present in every setting. She is the first one there and the last to leave on many occasions. She's out front in the morning to welcome your kids to school at drop off and makes sure they get to class. If you need to drop your child off earlier and she is present, she will bring your kids in the office with her. I know because my son sometimes has to get to school early before 7:30 (drop-off time). She is a principal that cares and shows up! And that is important because I know some schools where the principal gets to school just before the bell rings. My first year at this school, I was so amazed at how nice and polite the students were! And I am talking about the 8th graders too! They welcomed my son and took him under their wing and looked out for all of the little ones. The teaching staff is great as well. My son has been blessed with an amazing teacher both years. She understands his struggles and is very patient with him to the point where this year he is functioning very well. This school allows therapists on campus granted they provide the proper documentation. I have never had any issues with having my son's therapist come to his class. The PTO committee is great as well. They host a lot of events for the kids and the principal is apart of that as well. Parents have to complete at minimum 25 volunteer hours. I think this is great because it forces the parents to be involved. Often times parents don't participate in the school functions besides what they have to but with these hours you get to be hands-on and have your kids see you involved with the school administration and other parents. I could go on and on about this school. I mean I really could. But i think it best that you give this school a try for yourself. Call the school, plan a visit and experience this hidden gem!
