    I absolutely love this daycare! The directors do an incredible job of building a curriculum that is…read morespecially designed for each of their classrooms. All of the teachers are warm and caring. They are very mindful which classroom each child is in depending on their developmental milestones. They will move them up when the child is ready and always are willing to have a conversation about it if a parent feels differently about anything. They are amazing at keeping up with healthcare recommendations, especially enforcing vaccination, which I greatly appreciate in this era. They are very transparent about any infectious outbreaks that are happening so that parents are aware for each individual classroom to be on the lookout for symptoms in their own child. They use dojo to communicate so that we can see pictures and videos of all of the great learning and fun that our children are having as well as to send messages to the parents. They celebrate all of the national and international holidays, which makes this daycare, especially culturally inclusive. I love the diversity of the teachers and the children, building a wonderful social foundation for my children to experience while they have been here from three months all the way through five years of age.

As nervous parents dealing with COVID fears and food allergies, we were so worried at first. But the staff promised us everything would be okay, and they were totally right. This place is special because: - The teachers genuinely love what they do and it shows - Our son learned to read and write in TK Sharks (we were so impressed!) - They handled his allergies perfectly, giving us such peace of mind - He was SO ready for kindergarten thanks to them Walking in every morning and being greeted by Ms. Taylor, Ms. Christine, and Ms. Theresa at the front desk just starts the day right. And the teachers throughout the years, Ms. Dianne, Ms. Ginger, Ms. Tammy, Ms. Barbie, Ms. Erin, Ms. Madi, Ms. Christy, Mr. Nick, Ms. Carmen, Ms. Julie, Ms. Paige, Ms. Suko, Ms. Priscilla, and Ms. Parvin have all been incredible. Each one has touched our hearts and made such a difference in our son's life. After all these years, SEA feels like home. Our son loved it, we loved it, and we're so grateful we found this wonderful, caring place. If you want your child to be loved and nurtured while learning and growing, this is the place!

    My daughter has been attending Kids Journey Academy for about 4 months now and I'm so glad I made…read morethe switch. I've had her in a few other centers around the area and they are by far my favorite. I get updates and multiple pictures of my daughter doing activities and having fun with her class mates. She practices writing her name daily as well as number/ letter recognition. Classrooms are clean and aesthetically pleasing. I can tell their day is structured with intentional activities and the children are not just left to do whatever they want. They go above and beyond with holiday activities too. I pick her up and her clothes and face and hands are still clean by the end of the day. Any issues with her they call me right away. They know how to make learning exciting, fun, and safe for the kids. I'm forever grateful to have the peace of mind while I'm at work and know that she is loved and cared for all day long. Thank you to Ms, Elaine, Ms. Geneli, Mrs. Ana, and all of the KJA Staff. I'm counting down the days to enroll my 18 month old this November

After he got a major injury at his prior…read morepreschool, we were looking for a preschool that could provide safe, nurturing and educational environment for him. Mrs. Ana was exceptionally kind, communicative and understanding of our situation. She even made the extra effort to call me with updates on him the first week to help ease my mind. His teachers have been exceptional and have really tailored their approaches to his personality, and kept us in the loop throughout. As a program, we have loved seeing all the activities he does every day, including in the classroom and outside. We love getting pictures of him throughout the day. The teachers as well as the director Mrs. Ana are very communicative and can be easily reached through the app and text (I am surprised to see some reviews mentioning lack of communication, our experience has been quite the opposite). Most importantly, after a traumatic experience in the last preschool, our son has thrived in this preschool. He comes home happy, he is learning new things every day, and I have noticed him mirroring encouraging language that his teachers are using with him at the preschool. It has given me so much peace of mind to know that he is in experienced, safe and nurturing hands at KJA. I would absolutely not hesitate to send my second kiddo to KJA when he is old enough!

    We have been at SMS for a couple of years now and could not be more convinced that we made the…read moreright choice. My son started in the summer program right as he turned 18 months and immediately began progressing in all areas at lightning speed. Ms Ana, Ms Noelle, and Ms Luisana were always super patient, supportive, helpful, and attentive. With their guidance my son blossomed so much and before we knew it they recognized that he was ready for the 3-6 year-old classroom, which Ms Ana helped him transition into with ease over the course of a few months. We now absolutely LOVE the structure and discipline that Ms Hina and Ms Adriana are providing in class with their academics that pairs so well with the freedom and openness to explore and express. That's the beauty of the Montessori system - it follows the child's pace and interest while still providing the nonnegotiable fundamentals of academics. It might not suit every family or child, so I would highly recommend attending one of the school's Journey and Discovery mornings where you can get a chance to walk through the classrooms, meet the staff, take lessons from the teachers, and learn about the Montessori approach and the school. As a child psychologist I know how imperative a love of learning is for a child's long term success (emotional and physical wellbeing, as well as their ability to achieve their own personal goals). Not only does SMS foster this in their students, but the entire staff work together wonderfully as a team to also create opportunities for children to develop self-help skills and emotional intelligence. Ms Ciara, the director, has always been so warm, approachable, and communicative. You can instantly tell she loves each student and cares for their success. Her along with Ms Arlett and Ms Poly, the administration, are attentive, responsive, and oh so very kind. They are a dream team that leave no stone unturned for each student. The collaboration I have experienced with all members of staff has reassured me that we all have the same goals in mind for my son (and daughter who will be joining next year). Finally, the community itself of SMS is a beautiful one. Although most parents work full-time, there are many opportunities throughout the year during different events and celebrations that the school puts together for parents to connect. It's also wonderful to get to see our son interacting with the other students and teachers - we love getting to watch everyone mingle like a big family.

We started her in…read moredaycare when she was 5.5 months old, and since she's our first baby, it was extremely difficult for us emotionally to send her to daycare when we went back to work since we have been with her everyday before this transition. However, Celene and all the teachers, especially Cecee, have been beyond amazing, extremely supportive, and super communicative. We've had great experiences with all the teachers that have been watching our daughter so far, but Cecee is absolutely amazing and in our opinion goes above and beyond- giving us advice and regular updates throughout the day. We've had our daughter in daycare for over a month now and while it hasn't been the smoothest because of her eczema and initially teaching her to accept the bottle, my husband and I still think she is in the best care with Cecee and the ELCA team so far. Will continue to update this review as time goes by, but so far, we would recommend ELCA.

My daughter attended TLC for three years, and during that time, she was cared for in a warm, nurturing, and educational environment. Ms. Caroline is truly kind, compassionate, and dedicated, and her team shares the same commitment to helping children thrive. Thanks to their efforts, my daughter was well-prepared when she started transitional kindergarten (TK). She was already familiar with her ABCs, colors, shapes, and many other foundational skills, which made the transition smooth and stress-free. I'm also incredibly grateful for the friendships we made during our time at TLC. I met amazing fellow parents--some of whom my daughter and I still see and spend time with regularly. Thank you, Ms. Caroline and team--you are truly awesome! I highly recommend TLC to any family looking for a safe, loving, and enriching daycare experience.

It's rare to find a place where you can leave your child and know--not just hope--that they are seen, nurtured, and celebrated for exactly who they are. Carol, Lauryn, Trey, and Kayla are the heartbeats of this extraordinary space. Their care goes far beyond the basics. Carol brings a steady, loving presence that instantly puts you at ease. Lauryn radiates joy and has a gift for turning every moment into an opportunity for learning and connection. Trey brings an energy that is both grounding and playful--kids absolutely light up around him. And Kayla is a calming, intuitive soul who makes every child feel safe, special, and deeply understood. This isn't just childcare--it's a community. A safe haven. A place where children grow emotionally, socially, and intellectually in the most organic, beautiful way. If you're lucky enough to get a spot at Little Plumerias, take it. Carol, Lauryn, Trey, and Kayla are the kind of caregivers every parent dreams of--and every child deserves.

Mr. T set high standards for this school and with our new principal Mr. Lee he has even set the bar higher. They have both done an extremely awesome job with the school.

Perfect place to live so the kids can walk right across the street. Our PTA supports an awesome art program through Art Corps. This allows the kids to learn 8 fantastic art lessons which we then present at the end of the year at our Art Show. With the support of our PE program headed by Mr. Kaneko the PE also helps fund our Swim Program. Grades 3-5 take part in a twice a week swim program for 6-8 weeks in the Spring. Our 5th graders get a one week full of fun before their promotion in June that 2 of my 3 have the pleasure of enjoying. I can go on and on about the school....message me if you ever have any questions. I also work at this school is a special education assistant, because I love this school so much =)
