Pros: Good environment and staff…read more Cons: Make sure you're really sure before you enroll your kid in the school. And read the terms of the contract!! Because you would have three month penalty to pay if you need to unenroll your kid, including for financial difficulty reasons, dissatisfaction with school program, etc. My husband got laid off at work and I informed the school about it and hence needed to withdraw my child from the school. I then enrolled my kid in public school. I was informed by CIS that contractually I was obligated to pay three months tuition penalty for withdrawing my kid from the school. We do not have the money for private school at the moment, which is why my kid is in public school. But we still need to pay the three month penalty fee. I do not think that the school needs my 3 month tuition for services NOT rendered, as there are several other students in the joint class but here we are.

When looking for a school for our child, we had a list of necessities which included a safe and…read moresecured environment, loving staff and a great curriculum. Having toured several other schools, we were unable to find the right fit until we found CIS. Not only do they check off all of our boxes but they offer so much more than we could have ever asked for. In addition to providing a safe and secure environment, every staff member truly loves what they do and cares about each and every student. It is a home away from home and I know that each day that I leave my child in their hands, that she is more than well taken care of. They are extremely communicative and share classroom updates, school news and photos of my child each and every day. We love that it is project-based and a STEAM school as she has already learned so much! Additionally she is learning how to speak and write in Spanish and Mandarin! We absolutely LOVE her sweet teachers Mrs. Trujillo and Mrs. Alltop and couldn't be more grateful for this wonderful school and all the incredible people that work here!

No school is perfect neither is this one. There are a lot of good things but there also somethings…read morethat i do not like. I will base my score based on my daughter's experience in Kindergarten. Pro: Strong Academics Field trips Caring classroom aids Clean classrooms Great lunch program with a french chef serving salmon..etc gourmet food!!!! Con: Not enough play time within classroom. Her teacher-Mrs Boyle was an extremely strict. She did not give kids any chance to make a mistake. I witnessed on several occasions she was calling out the kids, borderline yelling across the classroom..found this very intimidating. Later on, I heard from other student's parents that she was constantly complaining about boys in the classroom. Recommended K teachers are Chavez and Medd School has no fields Not enought shade for students. They are adding 1 classroom to each grade level in 2017 K-3 grade making each grade level 6 classes. The school is becoming sooo big. I hope increased quantity will not mean lowered quality.

I was extremely hesitant to leave a review because I was honestly close to filing a claim against…read morethis school over how my son was treated. After six months, I ultimately had to pull my four-year-old out because the situation was severely affecting his confidence and well-being. My son had been home with me his entire life. He had structure and routine at home, but starting TK was a completely new environment: 20+ children, two teachers, new rules, constant transitions, and expectations he had never experienced. He is a genuinely good, loving child who was struggling to adjust--not a child who deserved to be treated as though he was a problem. Unfortunately, his TK teacher, Mrs. Schreier, seemed to give up on him almost immediately. Instead of helping him gradually become comfortable in the classroom, he was pushed toward an IEP and eventually spent much of his time isolated in the learning center with a rotation of teachers. His "body breaks" could consist of simply moving from one chair to another. Recess was repeatedly restricted or taken away. When he was rarely given recess, he was closely shadowed despite never having aggressive or physical behavior toward another child. At times, even lunch and restroom access became issues, and he came home with two accidents after being unable to use the restroom. He desperately wanted to be with his classmates. The constant restrictions and isolation understandably led to more acting out. In my opinion, his behavior was a reaction to an environment where he felt controlled, excluded, and desperate to return to his peers. I worked extensively with the school and repeatedly told them I was willing to reinforce anything at home that would help him succeed. I tried to build relationships with every teacher involved in his care, including the behavior teacher, Miss Reily, the principal, Mrs. Lane, seven resource teachers, and the vice principal. Unfortunately, I often felt dismissed, and the lack of empathy and communication was extremely frustrating. There were also repeated concerns about autism that I felt were being pushed too quickly, despite not seeing the same behaviors anywhere else. Months later, teachers themselves acknowledged they were no longer seeing the signs they had previously been concerned about. That was extremely concerning to me. The experience became so stressful that I was physically and mentally overwhelmed. My son experienced two anxiety attacks when I picked him up early, including difficulty breathing, because he desperately wanted to be around his peers and teacher. I communicated this to the school, yet I did not feel his emotional or physical well-being was treated with the urgency it deserved. During this same period, my son underwent tonsil surgery to address severe sleep apnea because I wanted to eliminate anything that could be contributing to his difficulties at school. Even after surgery, I was disappointed by how little effort seemed to be made to help him feel included. When I asked whether his classmates could make him a simple get-well card, his teacher said she was not going to ask them to do so, but there was a craft table if they chose to make one. How would his classmates know he had surgery if no one told them? It was another moment where I felt my son was being treated as though he didn't belong. What has been most eye-opening is what happened after leaving. My son now attends John Adams Academy, and within TWO WEEKS I have seen an entirely different child. He is listening, comfortable, participating, enjoying school, and making tremendous progress. I was honest with his new teacher about everything we experienced. Her response was, "He may have his bad days, but I'm not giving up on him, nor am I going to leave him." That sentence alone says everything. A four-year-old entering school for the first time needs patience, encouragement, consistency, and someone willing to help him learn how to succeed in a completely new environment. Instead, I felt my son was labeled, isolated, and treated as though his struggles were simply his fault. I gave this school six months, countless conversations, cooperation at home, and every opportunity to work with us. I even spent hours sitting in my car outside the school trying everything I could to support my son and understand what was happening. I tried to be patient and understanding, but eventually I had to put my child's well-being first. I am grateful we made the decision to leave. Watching my son thrive in a new classroom has shown me that there was never something inherently wrong with my child. He needed adults who were willing to understand him, teach him, and not give up on him. I sincerely hope this school takes a hard look at how it handles children who struggle during their transition into school. They are four years old. They are still learning. They need guidance--not to feel like they are a problem that needs to be removed.

I was having a hard time wondering if I was going to find a 3 year old program without breaking…read morethe bank, because he still was having occasional potty accidents and I had another son I pick up and drop off at different odd ball times at his school. A friends son who goes there told me just to call and visit that the staff is very accommodating and addressed all my concerns. They also let him visit a couple times before enrollment (Mrs. King is assigned teacher is amazing) and all the parents seem so friendly and good, wholesome families. I also wasn't sure if my son was going to take to it. He loved it from day one! The teachers all have smiling faces. I love that they work more on academics than some of the other schools seemed like their were more into creativity or independence. Even though they do all that too. Only after a week, I see such a difference in my 3 year old. He actually tells me each day what he learns. The staff is kind if they have accident and I feel safe having my son in their care and he is progressing as a student as well. I wish I knew the cute songs he is singing about school.

GBSH is a wonderful early education program. Incredible instructors who are mothers themselves,…read moreand have been with GBSH for years. Excellent curriculum, while incorporating free time and play time for growing minds. My son was more than prepared to enter EUSD after attending preschool here. Large indoor playground and basketball hoop are great for rainy, or scorching hot days. Flexible schedule and hours, make it easy for parents. Safe environment, with an emphasis on academics that is appropriate for preschool and kindergarten. Love this school, and as a former teacher, it was important finding a balance of play time, and education. Teachers run "centers" led by instructors or aides to teach reading and math skills. GBSH prepares students for elementary school.

I loved all my teachers, shout out to Mr. Hicks. The moms are terrible at driving, so watch out in the parking lot. Also, this school kinda has a gossip problem; the moms even gossip about the kids, and the kids also gossip a lot. The Bayside blaster will always be amazing. I still crave it. The main church's theology was kinda interesting, a little evangelical. Also, the school makes you pledge to the bible, the Christian flag, and the American flag, which felt like it bordered on Christian nationalism since you do them all in order, but do with that as you will. The visual arts are kinda lackluster, and sports are very favored at that school. To be fair, a lot can change in nearly 3 years; this is just my experience. I was also a bit of a menace at this school. The Bathroom parties were exquisite.

It exceeded…read moreour expectations with an amazing curriculum full of fun learning activities, wonderful admin staff greeting you at the door and helping each parent along when needed. The teachers are all truly amazing they really pay attention to each kids needs and just so engaged and loving. It truly has been a community for us with so many events for kids and parents throughout the year. The facility is very safe, clean, and organized. I absolutely love the app to use for all the reminders and pictures of what's going on and what she ate or if she napped. The communication is very open and ongoing of what's going on. The owners Millie and Ash are very present at the events hanging out with the kids you can feel the love and commitment they have for the school and the kiddos. I recommend Goddard to friends and family I can't thank their team enough for how much they have taught my daughter to be confident and grow along with learning social skills for making friends. She is so happy to go each day to see her teachers and classmates and comes back with so many stories about fun activities she learned from!

From the moment you walk through the front doors each morning, you're greeted with smiling faces and a warm "good morning." They know every child by name and make each family feel welcome. It's such a wonderful way to start the day and immediately gives you peace of mind. The teachers are truly incredible. They are patient, loving, attentive, and take the time to get to know each child as an individual. I've never felt like my son is just another student in a classroom. They celebrate his personality, encourage his growth, and genuinely care about his happiness and development. I also really appreciate their student to teacher ratio. There are more teachers in the classrooms than I've seen at many other childcare centers, which means the children receive so much individual attention and gives me peace of mind. My son started in the First Steps classroom and has now moved into the Young Toddlers classroom, so we've had the opportunity to experience three different classrooms and many different teachers. One thing that has remained consistent throughout every transition is the genuine love and care the staff has for the children. Even teachers he no longer has still stop to say hello, give him high fives, and ask how he's doing. Seeing that they continue to care about him long after he's left their classroom speaks volumes about the kind of people they are. It never feels like they're simply doing a job, they truly build relationships with the children and their families. One of my favorite things about the school is how much they do to keep learning fun and engaging. As a STEM school, they incorporate hands on learning while also offering so many exciting activities throughout the year. My son looks forward to Music Mondays with Matt, art days, water play days, pizza Fridays, and the creative themes they change throughout the week. Over the summer they had a train come to the school and the kids got to ride on it, my son loved that! They even had an outdoor Robo Dance Party that came to the school. They are always thinking of the next fun thing they can bring to the school and it's truly amazing! They even have Soccer Shots as an added option for kiddos. They also host so many family events and holiday celebrations, including Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents Day, Aunt & Uncle Day, and more. They truly make families feel like they're part of the school community. Safety has always been a top priority for me, and this school takes it seriously. The secure entry with double doors and coded access, along with locked and alarmed outdoor gates, gives me confidence every day that my son is in a safe environment. The playground is always clean, well-maintained, and a place where the kids can play safely. The communication is another huge reason we love this school. Through their app, I receive updates throughout the day with photos, what my son has eaten, diaper changes, water refills, nap times, and more. It makes such a difference knowing exactly how his day is going while I'm at work. I am so grateful that my son gets to grow up surrounded by teachers and staff who love him so well. If you're looking for a school where your child will have lots of fun, learn new curriculum each day, be safe, encouraged, celebrated, and genuinely loved, I cannot recommend this school enough. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this amazing community!!!
