This school was different. He only struggled a little in the beginning, and now he is genuinely excited to go every day. Seeing him wake up happy and say, "I'm going to school, Mommy!" means everything to me. A very special thank you to Ms. Lani and Ms. Crystal! these are the teachers my son always talks about, and it's clear how much they care. I would also like to thank the amazing director, Kate, and the entire staff for creating such a warm, supportive, and welcoming environment. The teamwork here truly shows. We are so grateful for this school and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a place where their child will feel happy and loved.

My son started daycare at 5 months old. As got older and moved into a bigger classroom, he started…read moreto have biting problem. I didn't everything under the sun to get this problem under control. I did speech therapy and ABa therapy through the San Diego Regional Center. I kept the staff informed over everything that was going on. We even tried to come up with a behavior plan, and it didn't work. So. I got my son assessed for autism, and guess what, he is autistic. And we are talking high functioning. Once we got the diagnosis, I kept them informed of all the goings on, including him getting in daycare help from Easter Seals. And as anyone knows, getting this kind of in school help takes a minute. It doesn't happen overnight. You need to go through intake and assessments. They did not care at all. They kicked him out before help could come. They had no sympathy or empathy or compassion for a kid with autism. He is now thriving in a new daycare with daycare help from Easter Seals. He has an ABA therapist 2 hours a day every day of the week at daycare. He hasn't had a biting or behavioral incident in months. All they had to do was wait. But I was told that they weren't sure they could help a kid like Milo even with the diagnosis and help. I'd also like to mention that I did get in trouble with them after the expulsion because I was very very upset with their decision and couldn't hold back. I wanted to fight for my kid and for fairness. I will always be on my kids side and be their advocate. So there was no appeals process. I should have kept my cool, but I felt like I did everything right and they just saw him as a problem with no solution. I even tried to contact their main office to tell them of the diagnosis and the process for what happens next. I called and emailed several times with no response for almost two weeks. If you have a child that has any type of special needs, do not go here.

(Children's Choices)…read more I feel the customer service provided including the teacher's performance is poorly. I have reached out a few times in regards to my child leaving messages asking for the teacher to return my phone calls. I am a single father who would of liked to be informal with updates on how my kid is doing. My experience has not been good. They have not returned any of my phone calls. It concerns me? I feel wronged for that matter disrespected by this business for not taking out the time or consideration to return my calls. I would of liked to speak with them about important issues. I did not receive any verbal assistance about my kid progress or areas that need to be worked on. Parenting is a big concern for me. Paying attention to the teacher and having respectful behavior is a must. I need results so I can properly address the matters that concern the teachers as well as me. I hope this review changes there hospitality towards the children and parents. Thank you for allowing me to speak my opinion.

(We just finished as he's now heading to Elementary school) Ms. Maggie has been the director there for decades and you can tell she knows what she's doing. She is loving and thoughtful with all of the kiddos. She goes above and beyond and does it in a really humble way. Ms. Marilyn and Ms. Stephanie were my son's primary teachers and he adored them. If you're not used to the Montessori system, you can ask Ms. Maggie about it and make sure it's a fit for you and your kiddo. I honestly wasn't sure at first, but my son thrived. Love this little tiny gem of a school. It will always hold a special place in our hearts .

We have had a lot of unique situations, restraining orders etc.. Which meant lots of phone calls and documentation and lots of extra work for the staff. In the back and forth domestic situation, the one thing that remained was, we always always always felt that they were completely safe at Door to the Future. Ms. Jeanette and her amazing staff went above and way way beyond. The boys have learned so much there. They are not even three yet, They know their colors, their alphabet and their numbers!! They are so amazingly smart and have completely come out of their shell. **UPDATE** 2019 The twins are now 5 years old, they stayed at Door to the Future until they went to kindergarten. It broke our hearts for them to go out into the big world they were so safe and happy there. It's clear that they learned so much because at Door to the Future, they are FAR ahead of most of the kids in kindergarten. They are actually reading books already. I wish they could've stayed there forever in the safe cocoon of love and understanding at Door to the Future!

We were so excited to hear that 2 of the teachers from Chase Ranch started their own montessori called Bostania Bright Beginnings! We enrolled our son and couldn't be happier with our experience. He had such a great preschool year that we sent him to Bostania Bright Beginnings for TK as well. He enjoyed every day going to school and learning about so many important subjects (math, science, art, etc). He also learned how to be a good little person as he learned a lot of social skills as well. This year he started kinder, and his teacher told us he is doing so well! Everything they are learning in class today he has already learned at Bostania Bright Beginnings. We highly recommend Bostania Bright Beginnings to any parent who wants to give their child exceptional care while preparing them to be successful in elementary school. Because it is a montessori school, they don't use a "one size fits all" approach. Instead, they learn how the child thinks, in order to teach them in the best way possible. The teachers are so kind and understanding with all the children. Any child that attends Bostania Bright Beginnings is in terrific hands.
