She absolutely loves going to school and has built wonderful relationships with all of her teachers. Each teacher takes a genuine, active interest in every child and welcomes the students as if they were their own. Starkids provides nutritious breakfasts and lunches, along with a well-balanced daily schedule that perfectly blends learning and play. We are so grateful for the incredible teachers--Miss Fatima, Emily, Jocelyn, and Marina--who create such a nurturing and engaging environment. In just five months, we have seen tremendous growth in our daughter. Her discipline and social skills have improved significantly, and she now confidently recognizes all of her alphabets. Starkids Preschool truly is a hidden gem in Redlands, and we highly recommend it to any family looking for a caring and enriching preschool experience.

My son has been attending for about three years, and we've had a wonderful experience. The staff is…read moreconsistently warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Always greeted with a smile. The center director and leadership team are approachable, understanding, and do their best to work with families while balancing what the center can provide. In preschool, the teachers are fantastic. The children still have nap time and plenty of outdoor play, which I really appreciate. The curriculum is well-rounded. They're learning early writing, engaging in storytelling, and building strong foundational skills in a nurturing way. Each month, we also receive updates and materials showing what they've worked on, which makes it easy to stay involved and see their progress. Having experienced multiple classrooms, from infant to toddler to preschool, I can confidently say we've had a great experience at every stage. I truly have only positive things to say about the center.

Our baby boy is now 5 months and has been in the infant room since August, and we couldn't be…read morehappier with the care and attention he receives. The teachers are wonderful, sending us pictures throughout the day, and it's clear they genuinely enjoy being with him. They do story time, painting, sensory play, and even have a monthly curriculum adapted for each age group. It's so nice seeing that the hallways and classrooms display all of the children's artwork! We love that he gets to do tummy time, play with other babies, and even go on stroller walks in the outside playground. Our baby hit two new milestones since starting daycare- he's rolling both ways and sitting up early, and we think it's because he's inspired by the older babies! The daily reports are super helpful, too. We always know when he napped and how much he ate, and the app updates throughout the day give us peace of mind. The front office staff and management are also incredibly friendly, and it's clear they love our little guy so much! We feel so lucky to have found such a caring and nurturing environment for him. Highly recommend! -AD's dad

As a mother, sending her child to school for the first time, it was important that my son ended up in an environment that was welcoming, safe and nourished the whole child. Montessori Kids Land Academy checked all our boxes and exceeded our expectations. Mrs. Lalita and the teachers embody care and professionalism and show attentiveness to every child and family. They helped my son grow academically, emotionally and socially. They promoted and nourished his love and curiosity for animals and science and personalized his experiences. Parents are also treated with the utmost importance. Communication to and from the school is A+. I never had to wonder or question what was going on with my child because the schools system keeps parents updated with their children's daily activities and any occurrences. Communication is open and welcomed at all times. This was huge for me and I truly appreciate the empathy they showed me, as a mother. Mrs. Lalita, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Juli, Ms. Bena and Ms. Rosana have impacted my sons schooling experience with such positivity and planted beautiful seeds in my child that gave him an understanding that school is safe, school is fun, school is where you grow by learning and making new friends and are surrounded by caring teachers. We feel so much gratitude for MKLA, as a whole.

My child began the summer program at VPS before entering preschool. She attended PS, Pre-K, and…read moreKindergarten before we had to move away. Since then, I've toured many school campuses to enroll her, and I can confidently say that VPS offers an exceptional academic program along with outstanding after-school options. One thing that really stood out to me was the weekly presentations my daughter did. I believe they were based on alphabet items, though I may be mistaken. Regardless, these presentations were wonderful for building confidence and public-speaking skills at an early age. The homework reinforced what the children learned in class, and the at-home projects helped them feel proud and capable just like the "big kids." The after-school programs are excellent. My daughter did imagination station, sprout and blossom, violin lessons, and homework club. It provides strong academic structure while also teaching manners, confidence, and responsibility. The staff is wonderful and truly knows every child. The only downside I experienced was when I requested a transcript for my child while applying to a new schools. I was told that transcripts were not available for those grades. I had asked if they could write a letter indicating they don't have transcripts or to create in for me but neither was done. After that, communication seemed to drop off, and it felt as though we were no longer a priority once we had left the school. Overall, I would still recommend VPS without hesitation. The tuition is also very reasonable for an IB and private school. I truly wish we could return to VPS or find another school just like it.

Their educational program has prepared my oldest for kindergarten with age-appropriate worksheets, and it's clear that they are genuinely invested in fostering growth and development in every child they care for. They have an excellent outdoor play area, structured daily activities, and even a couple of annual field trips that make this daycare special. My son comes home talking about all his friends and daily activities. They also provide all snacks and meals for kids over the age of two, which is super helpful for busy working parents. As full-time healthcare workers with unpredictable schedules, finding care with a clear, consistent schedule and flexibility has been incredibly important to us. Kids Land Academy has been wonderful in accommodating our needs. Their minimal closures and understanding of our varying hours make it so much easier to balance work and family life. They have been very willing to work with us when adjustments are needed. A special mention goes to Mr. Naresh, who is possibly the calmest, most patient, and caring individual I've ever met. He has an incredible way with children, and I always feel at ease knowing that my kids are in his capable hands. His calm demeanor and nurturing nature create a safe and welcoming environment for the kids. I highly recommend Kids Land Academy to any parent looking for a caring, educational, and fun place for their little ones. It's truly been an exceptional experience for our family!

When you don't have family to watch your young child, and you have to work to pay the bills, you…read moreare faced with a very difficult decision to find a childcare provider you can trust to treat your child with the love and respect you would if you could just be there with them. When you consider how important these first years are to the emotional and educational development of your precious child, this decision is one of the most important ones you can make as a parent, and it requires a lot of trust. My wife and I faced this dilemma many years ago when we stumbled onto Lalita and the business she had just started, KidsLand Academy. Our son Jude was the first baby to enroll in what would become a thriving childcare built on the passions and talents of a woman who would become a Godsend to us and our child. Lalita gave our son many years of genuine love and care that no amount of money can guarantee. We were blessed to find her, and she and her family will always be close to our hearts, as they were willing to be the family we didn't have to watch our young Jude during those critical years while our family was just starting out. If you are reading this review, you are fortunate to have found her too. Jude is now 13 years old. He is a kind hearted, responsible, and respectful young man who has always been near the top of his class academically. He had a great start. Thank you, Lalita.

Sorry to say this place is not great. I know they have had some turnover in school leadership and…read moreso perhaps have weeded out some of the bad seeds but there were various bad seeds when my child was there. Overall, there was a lack of passion for teaching and love for the children. The location was more of a daycare where they keep your child alive than teach them love. Teachers did not play with children. You could just see that they didn't love their jobs. I witnessed a few book reading times and singing times where teachers sung with dead eyes and flat voices conveying that they were just going through motions. I feel like a bad parent for subjecting my child to this place. I caution any parent considering this school to visit and pay really close attention to all interactions between the teachers, the leadership and the children. Don't just base your decision on your discussion with them. If, when you see the above dynamic show itself, move along to any one of the other great preschools in Redlands. IMPORTANT NOTE: Most of other reviews are old and were posted in a close timeline indicating that possibly at one point they had a campaign to get reviews which speaks to the lack of credibility of those reviews.
