Their AIM program is brilliant as is there Choice program. We have experienced both and the TLC staff and their support is 100% and their attitude is 100% positive and child oriented. There are no politics at TLC. There is just a truly caring atmosphere and it is fully geared to each child. I've loved working with the staff, from Giulia at the front desk, to Ms. Katie - the Director for Scripps Ranch, to academic and behavioral staff, and of course, to our wonderful teacher, Ms. G.!!! TLC has really turned my son's education experience around and we're now on a positive, productive path.

Kavod has given us a whole lot of amazing learning experiences but I can sum it up by saying that they have cared for my children with respect, consideration and an openness to learning. Both of my children with IEPS have required specialized services and very specific supports. I found the teachers and staff members to be caring, smart, fun and excited about creating a community of respectful and inquisitive learners. No child was ignored, every child was met where they were enthusiastically and the staff worked extremely hard to address needs while simultaneously building on strengths. My kids have both done very well there and the emphasis on languages and culture has been a ton of fun. Projects were meaningful and I appreciated the organized communication and leadership from administration. I would have never imagined my children speaking all these languages so quickly but they have learned because Kavod makes it possible with their organized programming and the support of all team members. As a part of the parent community, I felt welcomed and cared for there as well. In a time where there is so much division, it's a beautiful gift when we can gather, respect one another and learn from one another culturally. Kavod is a gem and I know that their best is yet to come. Don't think, just enroll. Toda Raba, Kavod!

I pulled my daughter out of this school about a year ago and the experience is still so unsettling…read moreto me, that I had to write a review on here. I was appalled at the conditions in this school. Every single time I dropped my daughter off I saw several children left by themselves crying - young children that were still in diapers. Oftentimes I would stay in the mornings for a bit and read to some of them or even hold them, as there was no one there who seemed very bothered by a 2-year old crying for his or her mother all by himself. My daughter cried every time I dropped her off, which she never did at her old preschool (we would have kept her there, but we moved too far out of the area). She would cling to me and beg me not to leave her there. When I asked the staff about it, the only response I received was, "Don't worry about it. She's fine." Well, it's actually not fine. All the other reviewers on here who say the director is rude (at best) are spot on. She was quite lovely during the tour and sign up process (and when she took my money), but any time I approached her after that she was cold as ice. The teachers in the preschool room are not teachers. They are aides and it's probably more fitting to call them babysitters. They max out the numbers in their classes, which is something like 12 to 15 2-year olds for one aide. They all seem completely checked out. I saw one little boy have a potty accident and the aide got upset with him. This is unacceptable. Please, do not send your child here. I know childcare is expensive and this place is actually quite affordable. Do not compromise. I ended up sending her to St. Vincent's Preschool in Mission Hills just down the way and we are in love with it. Just a side note: I had to call All Saint's last week to get record of my deposit and tuition for some court documents and after speaking to the director she said she would have to look them up and call me back. She never did. No surprise there. This is an awful school. I cannot stress it enough.

IEP San Diego gives you that, as a parent she makes me feel fully heard in my concerns, most importantly she knows how to express those concerns in a way that carries my child's education forward with meaningful goals in a setting that allows him growth, safety, learning, and friendships. I admire the depth of analysis she gives to each one of the assessments, protocols, and many documents that make up the file. She is really interested in understanding what has been done and how in order to create an IEP that is appropriate for the child.

I literally take my child to school every morning at 7:15-7:18AM routinely through the drive through drop off patiently waiting for the gates to open for the solar panel parking. The Principle Regina Serbin rushes out to my truck YELLING "You can't be waiting in this line UNTIL 7:30AM when the gates open because you're blocking my staff from the parking lot" First of all HOW am I blocking the staff when the staffs cars I am blocking have already parked? This would not be a problem if they opened up the solar panel parking earlier for SAFER drop offs into the school. I didn't make a fuss so i said okay sure, what time can I start lining up? She says, "7:30AM when the gates open." Does she want everyone to START getting in line @ 730?! Like school starts 745AM people are gonna be late going to school, and driving through to WORK and cause traffic on the main street road - IT GETS DANGEROUS. i've asked all the traffic stop ladies in the morning when this gate opens up and where I can wait for drop offs, and everyone gives me A DIFFERENT ANSWER. The SECOND she tells me off that I cant park and wait in line to drop my child off, I drive ALL THE WAY AROUND and park on the STREET and then I see MORE people start waiting in the drop off line at 7:20AM, she does NOT say a WORD to them nor make them drive around UNTIL 7:30AM. If this is a problem SHE needs to be outside all morning regulating the traffic. - WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING 2 LANES (1 for buses and 1 for driving into the solar panel parking to drop your kids off. IF YOU CANT WAIT IN LINE UNTIL 7:30 ON THE DOT?? Every morning parents use the bus lane to drop their kids off QUICKLY, to avoid the CRAZY exit traffic from this school, they do not stop parents who park on the red curbs for drop offs (ALL OF THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE disfunctional management) OH be careful driving through the solar panel parking lot, your cars suspension will literally EAT every single hole & bump and cause you problems, don't know why this is taking so long to fix, and getting OUT from the solar panel parking is a NIGHTMARE. NO ONE to regulate the flow of traffic, you have parents fighting over getting out and going through the entire dirt field to EXIT the gates. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FOR OTHER PARENTS. Fortunately this will be my child's last year here at Walker Elementary School.

The Highlands is across the street and a ton of kids walk across to meet their pick ups and the parents also park at highlands and walk over to pick up. You can get in line for a car pickup on the far side of the parking lot if you do not want to get out of your car. Not a problem at all.
