Ms Noelle truly knows what she is doing and she really understand my son. L. Is a very very picky eater. There are days he will not eat in the morning and just come home and eat dinner. Ms Noelle and Mrs Farida knows how concern i am about this and they always send me updates and tell me how much he eats through out the day. It really put me at ease even tho i know he hasn't eaten anything, but i know he's being watched closely. That is important to me. L, is diagnosed with ADHD so at times he is very difficult to deal with. But all the teachers there are so patience with him. Love it! We are very sad to have to take L out of the school. We are definitely putting our daughter in once we are able to. Love this school very much! Thank you to all the teachers there that have been with L since day 1. We appreciate you.

She loved her teacher Ms Sharia and I could tell she was very cared for. It was a massive load off my mind to know that she was safe and happy when I dropped her off. I liked how they had lots of special events at school like a mother's and Father's Day celebration, water play days and holiday fun. Ms. Sharia and Ms. Evangeline were very warm and friendly. All the staff I interacted with seemed to really care about the kids. The only thing I would have liked more of is communication.

I have had the privilege of sending my daughter and son to Shine Preschool. I was first introduced…read moreto Shine at the height of the pandemic and Shine followed all protocols to keep our children safe, secure, and well prepared for any scenario that we faced. On top of that, I really appreciate the consistent communication throughout the day on our Brightwheel app. I am always updated on what is happening throughout the school day and I can easily get in contact with my children's teacher. The teachers are well prepared for their monthly/weekly/daily lesson plans. At the top of the month, parents get a preview of the curriculum our children will learn. This allows us to reinforce concepts at home and partner with the teachers and closely monitor our child's progress. Additionally, Shine offers fun extracurricular opportunities such as soccer, karate, chapel and STEM activities. Lastly, it is worth mentioning that I appreciate the level of security of classrooms/building. As a teacher that has taught TK-12th grade in public schools for 10+ years, I can definitely say that I loved sending my children to Shine Preschool and would recommend anyone who is interested in a Christ centered, loving, and intentional environment for their preschool aged child.

I decided to enroll my child into preschool/daycare at 2 years old. We had visited 2 other centers…read moreand both times, my son had cried and won't let go of me during the tours. I had chalked it up to his personality/mood, but when we toured Shine, he gravitated towards it right away, started playing with the toys (despite having similar toys at the other center) and when asked if he liked the school, he immediately said yes. Miss Karlie answered all my questions during the tour and I felt that it would be a good fit, and I was right. My son didn't even cry on the first day, I expected he would, but he didn't. He loves going to Shine and has been going for 3 months now. He has learned a lot of new songs, and frequently has art to bring home. The place feels secure with locked security doors as well as with the use of the Brightwheel app which is so helpful to communicate with the staff. They respond quickly and it is so convenient - you can even message them on the app to let them know your child will be late or absent that day. They also provide updates throughout the day, including photos - see pics for what the app looks like. Note that in this school, lunch is NOT provided, but I have been able to make easy lunches that my son finishes most of the time. My son loves going to Shine Preschool and always talks about Ms Karlie and Ms Genesis and about going to the playground with friends! Thank you, Shine, for providing a clean, safe, secure and wonderful learning environment for our children!

This daycare was really good at the start. The previous director sold me with promises of my child…read morelearning and attentiveness from teachers. She also sold me on the fact that there were days that my husband and I didn't have to pay for. We were sorely mistaken. It started when they went almost 3 weeks without pulling a payment from us, because of this my husband kept asking for them to charge us. When they finally did, they pull over $600 from WITHOUT telling us. We had to bring it up to them and then they told us Then we started becoming behind on our payments because they pulled such a big chunk that it put a dent in our finances. We then learned that they would just kept charging our card until they got some sort of payment. No where was that clarified or communicated to us, so we would see charges on our card for $2.99 to $97.00. So we all together stopped keeping money in that account because we were being unnecessarily charged without our permission too. Second, we started having problems with the teachers. Ms. Gabby is a gem and all the kids were lucky to be with her and she made our first daycare experience amazing. She unfortunately went on leave and that's when things started going south. My daughter who is potty trained was coming home with accidents almost every time she would go to daycare. But these weren't just any accidents, her pants would come home SOAKED. It seemed like the teachers let her pee her pants 2-3 times over before changing her. It was only after I brought it the directors attention that it started getting better. But this was only the start of the neglect. On top of the bathroom issues, they were giving my child screen time without my permission or the permission of other parents (or so I assume). I walked in one day after nap time to find all of the kids huddled around a teachers iPhone watching YouTube. My husband and I have made it a point not to do a lot of screen time with our daughter. We didn't think that putting her in daycare where she is supposed to be learning would entail mindless screen time on teachers iPhone. I informed the director and she said she was unaware of this. It's also very apparent from the times I've spoken to her that she really does not care about the younger kids but is more worried about the older kids. She would tell me that she would keep an eye on the younger kids but it never happened. Because of this my child and most likely other children too have been neglected in their care. Not to mention, they sent my daughter home dehydrated on Friday when it was almost 100 degrees that day with the water I had sent in her water bottle still there. When we got home my daughter was chugging water, was not eating, and couldn't sleep that night. Which as a parent is incredibly concerning because if they're not giving my child water, who else aren't they giving water to? Of course, no one could tell me if they had refilled her water bottle or anything like that. So now as a parent I was ready to withdraw her. I called Monday to withdraw her and the director did everything in her power to keep us from leaving. She kept trying to get us to put her in a different class which I kept saying no but she kept telling me to "ask my husband", but no means no. I said no and they should have respected that and let us go. My husband then went up to the school but they were too busy to give him the time of day about the withdraw we were trying to do because we also didn't want to be charged for the week since my daughter was not going back that same week. The only way I was able to get anything from them about withdrawing my child was after spam calling them. Then I was told that there was no paperwork and we were off the hook, which took us all of 3 minutes to talk about. Not sure why they couldn't tell my husband the same thing. Overall, I would not recommend sending your child here at all. We have reported them to the state of California for an inspection and I also found that there have been multiple investigations since March of this year (2026). Please do not send your child here. The pricing is great but you get exactly what you pay for.

Our two children have been attending Arborland for about two years, and we could not be happier…read morewith our decision to enroll them. Our youngest started in the Toddler classroom with Ms. Karla, while our oldest has been in the Preschool classroom with Ms. Salzman. Watching both of them grow, develop confidence, and genuinely enjoy going to school has been incredibly rewarding and affirms our decision. As a school, Arborland is exceptionally well organized. The campus is clean, secure, and well maintained, and the staff consistently demonstrate professionalism, kindness, and a genuine commitment to the children. Our kids also participate in the extended childcare program, which has been a wonderful experience. They genuinely enjoy that time with their friends and teachers, so much so that there are days when they do not want to leave. One of the main reasons we chose Arborland was because we wanted a more structured Montessori toddler program than what we found at many other nearby schools serving children 18 months and older. Ms. Karla created exactly the environment we were hoping for. She is warm, patient, and incredibly caring, while also setting clear expectations and consistent boundaries that the children understand and respect. We truly appreciated the balance she brings to her classroom. Another aspect we especially valued was that Ms. Karla and her assistant teachers spoke Spanish with our daughter throughout the day. As parents raising bilingual children, having that support reinforced what we practice at home and has been a meaningful part of her early education. The Montessori approach has been an excellent fit for our independent, curious, and strong-willed daughter. She has now transitioned into the Preschool program, and we can already see how well prepared she is thanks to the strong foundation built in the Toddler classroom. We are incredibly grateful to Ms. Karla and her assistant teachers for giving our daughter such a positive start to her educational journey. We also appreciate Ms. Salzman and the entire Arborland team for creating an environment where both of our children continue to learn, grow, and thrive. We wholeheartedly recommend Arborland to families looking for a nurturing, structured, and high-quality Montessori education.

I randomly received personal messages from Ms Karla and Maestra Michelle about my kids' day, their accomplishments, or just something silly they did, with a picture! I cannot express how lucky we are to have teachers that genuinely love the kids so much. It has been such joy to see our kids thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and in every way! I remember when they first started school, they were little people that barely knew how to talk. Day after day, month after month, they started to put words together, making sentences, then started to tell stories about their day at school. One day they surprised me with putting away their own toy! Then another surprise, putting on their own shoes! They learned independence, and courtesy, and so much more!
