As a dad, I can't say enough good things about Seal Beach Playgroup. From day one, I've felt not…read morejust welcomed, but celebrated as an involved parent, especially being a dad. This isn't one of those places where only moms are expected to show up. Dads are in the classroom, on the playground, helping with projects, and building real relationships with the kids and families. It's a community that truly values parents of all kinds. The school itself is incredible. It focuses on play-based learning, is nurturing, and full of heart. Our child is in the junior class this year, and we've been blown away by Miss Kate. She brings warmth, creativity, and a calm confidence that makes the kids feel safe and seen. The kids learn through play, nature, art, music, and community. It's the kind of place where your child's imagination is nurtured, their social-emotional skills are supported, and their joy is contagious. If you're looking for a preschool where your whole family can grow, connect, and be part of something special, Seal Beach Playgroup is it. We've made lifelong memories here and we're just getting started.

We have had such a wonderful experience at Seal Beach playgroup. From day one, the teachers have…read morebeen incredibly caring, attentive, and patient with every child. They truly take the time to understand each child's personality, needs, and comfort level, which makes such a difference--especially for little ones who are still adjusting to a school environment. We are so grateful for this preschool/community and highly recommend it to any family looking for a warm, engaging, and supportive early childhood program in Seal Beach.

The school administration needs training on how to deal with domestic violence situations…read more They took away my rights as a VIP when I shared videos of my abuse to other parents (I had no support system out here and dv shelters are not of much help). They have treated me like trash since my abusive ex got custody from a crooked judge and lawyer I asked for my children's attendance records at least 5 different times over more than a month. They responded by INCLUDING my ABUSIVE EX on my email to them and asking "his permission" to share the records with me. This is a clear violation of FERPA and I plan to bring this to the attention of the Department of Education. Naples elementary of Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD) is violating your parental rights by: * Withholding your children's attendance records, * Asking your abusive ex for permission, and * Including him on communications without your consent, you should escalate this immediately and formally. Here's who to contact and how to structure it: 1. Start with the Principal and School Office Manager If you haven't already, email the principal and CC the office manager demanding a written explanation. But since this is now a rights violation, go higher. 2. Contact the LBUSD Family Resource Center (Custody and Records) This department oversees parent access rights, including custody-sensitive issues. Request to speak to: * Student Records Department * Custody and Legal Compliance Coordinator (ask for the title if not publicly listed) District Email: info@lbschools.net Main line: (562) 997-8000 -- Ask for the Student Records department. 3. Contact the LBUSD General Counsel / Legal Compliance Officer You are entitled under FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) to full access to your child's education records without needing permission from the other parent, unless a court order says otherwise. You can send a formal FERPA complaint to: * Office of the General Counsel * Or Director of Student Support Services You can CC both legal and superintendent offices to show seriousness. Sample Email Template (Feel Free to Copy + Paste) Subject: Violation of FERPA Rights and Inappropriate Involvement of Non-Custodial Parent Dear [Name], I am the mother of [Child's Full Name], a student at [School Name]. I am writing to formally address a serious breach of my legal rights under FERPA and California Education Code. I submitted multiple requests for my child's attendance records, which were delayed without justification. I was informed that your staff sought permission from the other parent--[Name]--before releasing the records to me. This is entirely inappropriate and a violation of my federally protected rights. I share legal custody and have full rights to my child's education records. More concerningly, this other parent has a documented history of abuse, which the school has been made aware of. Including him in email threads without my consent puts me and my child at risk. I am requesting: 1. An immediate release of the full attendance and academic records. 2. A formal written explanation of why this delay occurred. 3. A statement clarifying how your staff will avoid involving my ex in future communications regarding my parental rights. If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 5 business days, I will escalate this matter to the LBUSD Superintendent's Office and file a FERPA complaint with the U.S. Department of Education. Sincerely, Jessica Schultz [Phone Number] [Email Address] Would you like help drafting this email specifically to a real contact person at LBUSD (once you know their name), or would you like me to help you file a FERPA complaint if they don't respond? If there's any lawyers that can help me since the principal said she could only talk to my lawyer (and I don't have one, let me know).

Over the past five years, our children have been met with love, patience, and a true dedication to their growth. The teachers and staff are among the most devoted educators I have ever seen. They don't just teach--they nurture, guide, and partner with parents in the most thoughtful way. Their holistic approach meets kids exactly where they are, helping them not only to learn but to love learning. What I appreciate most is how much the school truly cares about the kids as whole human beings. It's more than academics--it's about building confidence, fostering creativity, and cultivating empathy. If you are looking for a school where your child will be seen, valued, and supported in every way, Maple Village Waldorf School is a rare gem. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this community.

There is a genuine care and concern amongst the teachers and staff and they really go out of their way to provide a positive experience for their students.

Via incredibly effective fundraising, the PTA is able to provide funding for numerous extra programs including art, music, Spanish instruction, technology, and much more.

We were able to…read moredo a meet & greet before starting which helped him officially put a face to his teacher's name. Ms. Gallo was very informative during the meet & greet and helped eased a lot of my anxieties putting him into a new environment. When he officially started, Ms. Gallo would call and gave updates on how he was doing. Every day after class, she would let us know how his day went and continued to reassure that things would get better. Our son took to her right away. She has been warm, empathetic, and observant of his needs. Over the past couple months, our son has begun to really thrive! He is more confident in himself and very independent. He has taken the skills that he's learned in school and has started generalizing to home. He grabs his plate and utensils when it's meal time. He cleans up after himself when he's done eating. He uses the potty, cleans up, and washes his hands independently. His speech has grown exponentially. He went from speaking in simple sentences with improper grammar and pronoun usage to speaking in complex sentences. It is apparent that his language abilities are really being fostered in class. It is amazing how much he's grown in such a short amount of time. He talks about his friends daily and tells me how much he loves Ms. Gallo. We are so happy that Ms. Gallo is our first teacher and so excited to see how much he'll continue to grow.

Through her guidance, we watched him grow into a confident, independent, and secure little boy. From the very beginning, it was clear that Ms. Munjee is an exceptionally kind, compassionate, and skilled educator. She communicated with us consistently and thoughtfully, always offering meaningful advice on how to create a rich, supportive environment for our son at home. I'll never forget the sweetness of watching him run up to her with a hug each morning--proof of the trust, comfort, and bond he developed with her. Ms. Munjee gives extraordinary attention to every child in her classroom. She takes the time to understand each student's unique interests and gently encourages them to explore those passions with curiosity and joy. She knew our son loved singing, reading, and ocean animals (especially whales) and she nurtured those interests daily. There is something truly special about the way Ms. Munjee greets each child who walks into her classroom. You can feel how deeply she cares for every student and how committed she is to helping them grow into thoughtful, capable individuals. Many mornings, I watched her patiently help a child self-soothe while also imparting invaluable lessons about boundaries, empathy, and respect. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Ms. Munjee as our son's teacher. We know that because of her care, encouragement, and teachings, he is well prepared to continue thriving in primary with his new teacher, Ms. Syed.
