I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kids Land Academy. My two children have been in their…read morecare for several years, and the experience has been a blessing. 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.

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

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.

When we went for the initial interview we met with Janiel, the owner and primary caregiver. We found that she is incredibly enthusiastic about being around little ones. She is very serious about her profession, and her sweet and gentle disposition is perfectly suited for what she does. My son never has a problem being dropped off and he is always in a good mood when I pick him up. They even feed the kids organic fruits and vegetables grown from their own garden!! It's a pretty great place, the price is incredibly reasonable, and they are very reliable. I totally recommend this place.

She's very good with communication and always quick to reply to messages or updates. During our time with her our child has made amazing progress (from approx age 3 to 5)! Thanks to Heidi's engaging activities and teaching, he's learned numbers and letters. He loves to show off how he can count to 100 and even do basic addition. He also has started to read 3 letter words. We're thrilled with the growth we've seen and couldn't be happier. If you're looking for a caring, dedicated provider who truly invests in your child's development, Heidi is the one!

My two kids have been going to Heidi's for over three years now and I am ecstatic with the care and…read moreeducation they receive on a daily basis. Heidi taught my 4 year-old *excitable* boy his manners (he always says please, thank you, excuse me, bless you etc) and he picks up his toys. This is a direct reflection of her guidance. Most impressively, he knows how to write the alphabet in upper case, and is working on lower case, and can write his full name. He has been excelling in his numbers too -- he can write 0-100 and can count to two hundred (ask me how I know :D ). He can even skip count his twos, 5s, and 10s. Heidi alone taught him all this. He is genuinely excited to learn things thanks to her method. For my 19 month-old, his speech has been accelerating and he always has a smile on his face. To me, this means that he feels a secure attachment to her, because she is in fact the kindest woman. Heidi is a good person and a great teacher that I trust with my most valuable, priceless assets - my two kids! I am so grateful to have found her. I tried the other larger child care facilities (Kindercare and Immanuel) and I never got feedback on how my boy was doing, what he was working on, areas for improvement, nothing. I just had to drop him off at the front desk and never met the teachers. Heidi is the opposite. If you have a concern, or just want to chat about your kiddo, she always takes the time to share.

We are so incredibly grateful for the care provided to our son and daughter. At all times we knew they were in an environment that was safe and surrounded by people who truly cared for them. Our children grew into such wonderful little people under their watch. Not only did they learn from an academic standpoint but they continued to grow socially and emotionally. Our children entered into public school well above their peers in regards to subjects like math and reading but, more importantly, they were more mature, knew how to be kind friends, and were ready to learn. I would recommend Ahren's without any reservations.

Safety was our first concern. Ahren's access control is on point. Normally Mr John is in his office and monitors access if not there is a teacher on duty. You have to walk through the front door to access the care center. Education was our second concern. Every child in day care is taught to prepare for kindergarten. It seems like our child moving from kindergarten is ready for 2nd grade. Communication and kindness. Ahren's staff are very communication heavy. They made going through Covid easy and painless. They call and email information as well as group and one on one face to face. Ahren's is not your typical day care or education institution, it's a family, you feel like family. I highly recommend Ahren's to parents wanting their child to have that edge for the future.

They do not check to see if the kids actually ate . They are not allowed to bring in their own water . There is no one securing the entrance/ exit . One instructor told me my daughter ate this and that . It was strange because I know my daughter is picky . I asked my daughter what she ate that day and she said nothing . Goes to show they will lie to the parents to make it look like they did a good job taking care of your kids . The director or woman in charge is very careless . There was issues with my fees and she did not do much to help . Everytime i tried to cancel our reservations she would try to convince me not to . I ended up not needing a reservation that she basically tricked me into keeping "just in case" . I had to pay 2 weeks of child care I never used. Will not recommend this place especially if you have kids that cannot speak yet . Who knows what they go through and there is no way for you to know because they will lie to protect their business .
