I get pictures from the school, which really makes my day seeing her playing and thriving. This is my first child and first school so of course, nervous mom but i feel comfortable and safe dropping her off at Smiles. I highly recommend this school for other parents.

We've had such a great experience with this daycare. From day one, our daughter has felt genuinely…read morewelcome and part of a sweet little community. We loved how they celebrated everything from Holi to Christmas, Halloween, Easter, and Valentine's Day. The kids have an active social calendar! Now she's "graduating" this summer, and we can't believe how much she's grown during her time here. She's leaving more confident and social. We're so grateful for the warm, caring environment they've created--it's made a lasting impact on our family.

If you're a parent who's researching and reviewing different preschools around Anaheim Hills, don't…read moreoverlook SHA! It's tucked away in a little plaza and really checked off a lot of our boxes when searching for the right place for our daughter. Pros: 1) This place offered flexibility - they have various options ranging from a few days a week for 3 or 5 hours or full days (drop off and pick anytime between 7am-6pm ish) 2) The owner is very communicative - whenever I had questions (before enrolling) and throughout attending SHA, Vik was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Communication is consistent and they use the Lilio app. I got photos / updates of what my child was doing on a daily basis. Communication gets sent out immediately if a child has hand foot mouth, pink eye, etc. 3) Diversity - it was important to find a place that valued diversity, and SHA does a wonderful job celebrating diversity by inviting families to come and share about their own cultural traditions / holidays throughout the year. They also encourage family involvement in events throughout the year which I really loved. 4) Last but not least, a fun and safe learning environment - as a parent who was looking for the first preschool to enroll her daughter in, we wanted to make sure that we felt comfortable dropping off our child in a place where she felt safe and comfortable. They don't have cameras for parents to monitor their kids on, but we have always felt our child was in good hands in their care. My daughter never once complained about going to preschool -- she looked forward to going everyday! During the summer they also have a bunch of fun events like water play days, visits from magicians and 'mad scientists'. Now while there's so much to love about this preschool, especially the dedicated and compassionate teachers (who are what make the school special), it was disheartening to see a lot of the long term teachers leave this year. It was crucial for me to find a preschool that had consistent teachers, and we were very very lucky to have Ms Destany for the entire duration of the school year, but the constant turnover in staff was a bit alarming. Not sure what was going on here but it seemed like staff did not feel valued. Would've given this place 5 stars if it weren't for this.

Our son has been going to Mays since infancy, and as first time parents having such a reliable and…read moreamazing daycare was such a huge benefit to us. Mays brings a high level of kindness to our son, and it shows in how he is around her! She has always prioritized safety and education at an early age, and has a steady form of communication of anything concerning. Having our son at this daycare is invaluable, and we've recommended her to many of our friends in the area.

Mays is incredibly nurturing, professional, and genuinely invested in each child and family that attends. Our daughter started here when she was 5 months old and we have seen our daughter blossom--socially, emotionally, and developmentally. She has become more confident, communicative, and curious, and we know it's all because of the time that she has spent at this day care.

My kids learned so much during their time here. By the time they started kindergarten, they were well-prepared in math and spelling, giving them a strong foundation. Besides academics, they also brought home the most adorable crafts and drawings for special occasions--handmade gifts for Mother's Day, surprise goodies for Christmas, cute Thanksgiving drawings and so much more. We would recommend Early Childhood Montessori Preschool.

This review is long overdue. I absolutely adore this preschool. Both of my sons have loved going…read morehere and have been attending since infancy. My oldest attended this school from age 6 months until he turned 5 and enrolled in Pre-K a couple months ago. My youngest has attended from 3 months old and he's now almost 4. The Montessori way of teaching is so wonderful and one of the biggest reasons I chose this school. I didn't want to take my kids to a daycare that would show Cocomelon all day. At this school, my kids learned to write their names and others' before they went to pre-K and can tell me all the planets, continents, and random facts about nearly everything. It's really hard to leave your baby with someone else, but the owner Madhuri is truly one of a kind. I trust her and the staff she picks with my whole heart. As babies, they were handled with care and love. Each day, I would get a paper daily recap from the caregivers showing what/when my baby ate, drank, and went potty. The caregiver would also chat with me and tell me of any milestones or anything funny my baby did. These women are so kind, attentive, and patient with the babies, and are vetted by the owner extensively. When my boys turned 2, they went into the toddler class. I saw a huge jump in development in the months that followed the transition. The teachers of the toddler class, Ms. Jessica and Ms. Z, taught both of my sons and are always so kind and attentive. Once they turned 3, they went into what my sons call the "big kid"classroom. This is where they were given daily Montessori jobs and their development jumped even more. Ms. Angela and Ms. Angie are patient, kind, and so, so great with kids. My sons absolutely adore all the teachers, and we've been lucky enough to not experience as much turnover that is common in the daycare/preschool setting. All the teachers I mention above have been with the school for several years which helped my boys develop meaningful connections. As with any school/daycare, make sure to label your kid's items because several babies/toddlers have similar things and it can be easily mixed up. I saw a few comments mentioning that but I've never had an issue. Sending my kids to this preschool set them up to be ahead in pre-K/Kindergarten. I am so glad I found this school. If we are lucky enough to have more kids, I would sign them up at this preschool in a heartbeat.

I love that it's a small class size, has ample outdoor space for kiddos to play, and that the teachers, Miss Sarah and Miss Connie, really care about my kids. When my youngest had his birthday party this year, the only person he wanted to invite was Miss Sarah. My oldest has aged out and moved on to elementary but he wants to start taking horseback riding lessons there now as well. It's really special that the kids get to interact with so many kinds of animals. Sometimes Miss Sarah sends me photos and videos of my kids helping care for the horses, and they're so proud of themselves. They love it!

It's a perfect place that is focused and family oriented. My boys both got so many new friends and because of birthdays and cute celebrations we got to make friends with all the parents as well and you become a little family. I love that the learning is always hands-on and fun, and they spend a lot of time with the horses and tortoise and even a little bearded dragon they just got. There was always something new going on, even watching caterpillars become butterflys when they come out of their Chrysalis. They love all the animals, and my crazy boys learned how to be gentle because of them. Their artwork and learning activities are so adorable and effective that now I'm stuck with two toddler boys who just talk all day long and never stop Now my older one has grown out of Santiago, and he runs in every day to see teacher sara and teacher Connie when we pick up his little brother because he always misses them. They have worked with me on everything and have been so understanding and kind of any issues that have come up or any changes in scheduling, and are Affordable as well! I don't live close to orange, and I drive far every day because my children are obsessed. Thank you so much for an incredible experience every time. They took the "guilt out of leaving my kids in a daycare" away completely, and they became family instead. If I have a 3rd, you guys know exactly where I'm headed Thank you!

As my son is now 3.5, they are very focused on helping him learn how to recognize and write the alphabet letters. We would arrive at pickup but he would insist on finishing tracing his letters.. which we were so thrilled to see. The staff here instills a love of learning in our son that we're so grateful for. And one thing that has been absolutely invaluable and heartfelt is... how much thought and intention goes into preparing and cooking nutritious and delicious meals for the kids. Sue and her staff provide breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack, and they are all home cooked, hearty, and HEALTHY! I'm very conscious of what my kids eat, and the meals here give me so much comfort that I don't have to worry about them eating all the typical other foods like hot dogs and pizzas and burgers. I remember Sue telling me how she makes homemade chicken and bone broth, and will use that as a base for some of the meals or will use some of it when sautéing the veggies that they then serve. They're so focused on providing a well rounded experience for the students here - from manners to confidence to education to wonderful meals and beyond - and I am sooo thankful. I cannot recommend Miller's more!

The communication has been great -- I can always call for updates, and they reach out if anything is out of the ordinary. We would definitely recommend bringing your baby here.

This school owes it to me to fully reimburse my one week of tuition that I paid. I highly recommend the other contact me- you have my info. Besides my own violation that is now on their official report I saw that another parent also recently reported them just be aware.
