We would give Kinderland 10 stars if we could!…read more Our family had a fantastic experience, during the school years and summer camps. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and genuinely care about ours kids well-being, growth, and happiness. We loved the balance of structure, learning, independence Built in kids, outdoor and playtime. The children learn responsibility, like putting away their classroom materials, while also collaborating, exploring, and getting plenty of movement indoors and outdoors. The bilingual English-Spanish environment was huge. Installations are great, continuously being updated and nice and fun outdoor play spaces. Their summer camps were very very fun. A variety of activities, from cooking and yoga to scavenger hunts and water days, and also learning. The administrative team was always great at keeping parents informed and creating a true sense of community. Some of my favorite memories are the end of year holiday celebration and Mother's Day presentations. The parent community is down to earth, caring and we built wonderful friendships. Now that our children have moved on to another school, Kinderland prepared them extremely well, kids have adjusted very well academically and socially. Kinderland was such a nurturing, loving environment for our children to transition from home to school, and a wonderful experience for us as parents too. We will always be grateful for this very special community.

I toured this place for consideration of my 7 month old. First thing I noticed is that the…read moreinfant/toddler room has a television on the wall!!! They said it's for "rainy days". It doesn't rain that much here to invest in a tv for only that purpose. Not to mention no tv is recommended for kids until 18 months of age. My kid watches s Rachael so I can get ready on the morning but I don't pay for daycare for them to put them in front of a tv. There's no cameras and I would bet they have those kids in front of tv more often than they say. Additionally they put the infants in the same room as walking kids that are up to 20 months old. No where else does this. It's not safe. Speaking of safety- when you first pull up You see the gate to the playground and all the kids on the playground. The infant door is just inside the gate, forest door on the left. To get into the playground all she did was reach to the top of the gate to move the plastic zip ties and then opened the gate. It wasn't locked. The classroom with infants, not locked. The classroom appeared to have one entry and exit total - to that unlocked gate. Any adult could get in there. Not a secure placement at all. They need to up security. I hope there is never a shooter, but of elementary schools are getting hit we need to be prepared and this place is far from prepared.

If you're thinking about taking your kid to childtime, please read:…read more I honestly don't understand how this place has four stars. My daughter started daycare over at childtime in August right after she turns two. I was assured that this was a safe school and my daughter was in good hands. It was good for a month then she started coming home with bruises with cuts. When I report it to the director, no one knows what happened. I've noticed multiple times where Miss Michelle is yelling at the kids where kids are afraid and running away from her. My daughter was hitting the back of her hand and screaming (her name stop). When bringing those concerns to the supervisors, they just brush it off and blaming on the other kids. Also by saying that Miss Michelle can be tough but she's a good teacher. My daughter came home with handprint and teeth mark on her back and I was not given an incident report. When I asked what happened and sent them an email detailing different incidents that happened to my daughter in the past month or so, they blame it on the other children or they just don't know. I just don't understand how parents are paying nearly $2000 a month for services and safety that can't be provided. I had to look for another provider to get her out of that environment as soon as possible.

It was a nerve wrecking experience having moved from out of state to have him start at a new school. Everyone at Childtime, made the transition easier than expected! Special shout out to Ms. Alma and Ms. Michelle for their help with everything! Extra special shout out to Ms. Mariana Triana and Ms. Paulina Del Rio! Thank you so much for helping him this past year and for your patience when he has his not so good days. We truly appreciate everything you have done and your contribution to my son's growth!

We are so grateful for Growing Minds and the experience both of our children have had here. From…read morethe very beginning, it was clear that this school goes above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing, and high-quality learning environment. The teachers and staff are incredibly attentive and caring. They celebrate milestones and traditions with such thoughtfulness, and their attention to detail really shows in the way they approach both academics and social-emotional development. It is clear that every child is seen, valued, and supported here. Our oldest daughter attended for 3 years and her transition into kindergarten was seamless. She was not only academically prepared but also socially and emotionally ready to thrive in a new setting. Now that she is in elementary school, we continue to see the lasting benefits of her Montessori foundation; she is confident, independent, and loves learning. Our younger child is currently enrolled, and he comes home happy and excited every single day. At such a young age, we can already see how he is flourishing, gaining independence, and building a genuine love for school. Choosing Growing Minds has been one of the best decisions we've made for our children's education and growth. For families looking for a school that combines strong academics with a truly loving and supportive environment, we wholeheartedly recommend Growing Minds.

I would like to begin by sharing what a truly pleasant experience Montessori Explorer has been from…read morethe very first visit. From the moment you walk in and are welcomed with a tour, you immediately feel the warmth and care that defines this school. Ms. Jennifer does an exceptional job creating a welcoming environment not only for families, but also for the staff. She is always kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in everyone who walks through the doors. What stands out most is their openness to feedback. Ms. Jennifer and the team consistently invite parents to share their thoughts and truly take that feedback into consideration. This reflects their genuine commitment to growth and excellence. It's rare to find a school so dedicated to continuous improvement although, honestly, it's hard to identify anything they need to improve, as they already go above and beyond in every aspect. In addition to their outstanding program, Montessori Explorer now offers parent workshops and classes that have been incredibly valuable. These have supported not only our family, but many others as well. Within my circle of fellow parents, we often find ourselves talking about how wonderful this school is and how much it has positively impacted our children and families. If you are looking for a place where your child will feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn, I highly recommend visiting Montessori Explorer. It is a place where children truly enjoy being and where they are nurtured to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I share this not only as a parent, but also as an educator. Montessori Explorer has been an exceptional experience for my child, and I am incredibly grateful to be part of this community.

Overall, our child had a wonderful experience attending Explorer for kinder through second grade…read more The director--who taught those classes--is a very practiced teacher. She knows how to run a classroom. Your kids will be in great hands as far as academics and structure is concerned. There are some peculiarities to how the school is run that may not work well for all children. Cleanliness and politeness is highly valued. This is a very ordered school. Kids who need to stim with fidgets or walk back and forth frequently may not be as supported as they might in other environments. (I'm being very general with the "may not be" since I don't know for sure. I just know that my kid appreciated a very ordered classroom thrived, but there may not be a lot of room for deviation from the standard.) In an age where EdTech is dominating schools with computer programs in every class, it was wonderful to give our child a tech-free start away from the pressure of assessments and CAASP testing. I wish we could go back.

The atmosphere is welcoming, caring and clearly designed with children's learning and well-being in mind. Mrs. Christian and her staff are experts at keeping your child safe, mentally stimulated, and engaged. Our child's enthusiasm for attending school every day speaks volumes about the positive environment they've created. Ms. Rayna, Landeros, and Luna are patient, caring, and truly dedicated to the children's development and has developed a strong and trusting bond with my child. We've been consistently impressed by their individualized attention, their ability to foster a love of learning through fun, hands-on activities that cater to different learning styles. Our child is excited about learning about the morals and values of Spectrum preschool and continues to practice good character this facility teaches. He has excelled academically through constant mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement. Beyond academics, this preschool places a strong emphasis on social-emotional growth. Our child has made great strides in developing social skills, learning to share, cooperate with others, and navigate interactions with peers in a positive way. He has developed appropriate behavior norms, and a good sense of independence and self-worth. Communication with my wife and I is excellent as we are regularly updated with his progress and current events. We have developed a partnership with the common goal of raising our child in a positive environment. Spectrum Preschool is a one of the best ways to set up a solid foundation for your child and we highly recommend this preschool to any parent seeking a safe, nurturing, and truly enriching early childhood experience for their child.
