We currently have our daughter in the infant room (the cocoon class) and we have loved the…read moreexperience so far. They have clear communication on everything that's going on with the center (events, day to day activities, health checks, center closures) and you're given notice well in advance. Payment, check in/out, and communication are all done through Brightwheel (an app) and it's such a smooth process. Even though it's a bit modern, my in-laws (that are a bit older and have a harder time with technology) are still able use the app to pick up my daughter and enjoy the occasional pictures and videos that are sent through there. My daughter doesn't really take to strangers well. She did have an adjustment period but has soon blossomed in the infant classroom and loves her teachers. The teachers are caring and informative and we are so pleased with the kind of care they provide our daughter. And we know she's not the easiest baby. They have been able to help our child make huge progress with nap time and even with playing with other kids. I truly feel her personality has blossomed due to the work the infant room teachers put into our daughter. She always comes home happy from the day. The infant room itself (as well as the other rooms we toured in the facility) are also clean and does not have a smell. We toured other facilities where the smell was so strong it stayed with me the rest of the day and was actually one of the deciding factors in choosing CCs. My daughter also has an egg and milk allergy. They assigned high chair specifically for her and are always on the look out for any reactions from food. She recently outgrew her milk allergy but not the egg. During the recent mother's day Muffins with Mom's event, they provided a special vegan muffin for her so she can enjoy the event with me. The teacher running the event wasn't my daughter's regular teacher, but she recognized my daughter anyway and knew to offer me the vegan muffin. I was so touched by this gesture. We haven't had experience with the older classrooms, but have toured them and are rest assured my daughter will grow up well cared for and well educated here at CCs. We are excited for her to learn and grow here. We are so pleased with our experience that we've already reserved our spot for our next baby due in a few months. We highly recommend this daycare center and will recommend it to anyone look for care in the area.

The staff is incredibly caring, and it truly shows in the way they treat each and every child--with patience, kindness, and genuine love. A special thank you to Mrs. Elizabeth, who she's been lucky enough to have in a few classrooms. She has made such a positive impact on our daughter's experience.

On top of everything, meals and diapers are included in tuition.

Wow, where to start.... we found Little Scholars when we first moved up to the area in 2022 and our…read moredaughter started in the Twodles class with Ms. Natalie. We had a rough first experience with another care center when we first moved here, so we. moved her to Little Scholars after a few months at the other center. This child care center has been almost a family to us in the last 3 years when my daughter went there - every single teacher she's had, she has fond memories of (especially Ms. Toni, Ms. Sara, Ms. Rosa!). All the directors are amazing - and my daughter looks forward to going to "school" every single day! They have an amazing summer program in which they coordinate water slides, reptile visits, and other excursions. They organize egg hunts, make Mothers Day/Fathers Day crafts, have a fun Christmas performance, create memorable send-off promotion ceremony - I truly cannot believe all these teachers do to make the year so memorable. The facility is clean, bright and airy - they have a great indoor "play area" when it's cold/rainy outside. The curriculum for Pre-K is pretty spot on - my daughter was ready to enter Kinder and was definitely ahead of the pack when joining. I also really love the every day photos and Brightwheel updates they make on what she's eating, videos, photos, fun daily moments. I simply cannot say enough good things about this center! I would highly recommend!

My now 15 month old has moved into the toddler room with Ms. Britney. She walks into the class and as soon as she hears Ms. Britney call her name, she smiles and walks in even faster to find her. My daughter also really loves the director, Ms. Taryn, and gets so excited to see her. My oldest continues to thrive in Preschool with Ms. Rosa and occasionally, Ms. Toni. They are her favorites and always talk about them and what they teach her. My heart is filled with gratitude for Debbie, the owner, and the whole Little Scholars family. Thank you!

I was asked by my close friend Stephanie to help her find a suitable daycare for her two year old…read moredaughter. She works graveyard and needed a place for her little one to be taken care of during the day while she got some rest. She saw Love & Care Montessori and asked me to check it out for her along with several other locations because she didn't have the time due to her schedule. I called and made an appointment with the owner, Yael, whom was very nice and gave me a tour of everything. So for those of you out there here is my review: 1) First thoughts: When I walked in, all I can say is that my inner child came to life! I mean I looked around and there is litterally every toy immaginable. From small cars to dinosaurs to even puzzles and games, this place had everything. I kind of wish I had a place like this for my childhood years. Yael went on to explain that she teaches on montessori methods as she gave me a tour of the house. 2) Layout: What I thought was most impressive was how every room was organized and how each room served it's own purpose. Even more astounding, the play areas in both the back and front yards were extensive, with slides and play houses and little cars to ride around, I thought to myself, if I had a kid I would want him/her to come here. They even had an enclosed trampoline in the back yard so that the kids could jump around and have fun while protected by the netting; how cool! Inside there are three seperate rooms. There's the play room when you first walk in, followed by the infant room, and finally the lunch room. 3) Schedule: Yael went over the daily routines of all the children from snack and lunch times to nap times and daily activities, arts and crafts and play times. All in all, everything seemed very organized and planned out in comparison to some of the other daycares I checked out. 4) Pricing: I compared the prices of the other daycares I visited and this one. For the weekly price, Love & Care Montessori had more to offer than similar daycares in the area for around the same weekly rate, give or take $10. 5) Atmosphere: What I really enjoyed was the homelike feel that this daycare had. It felt warm and inviting from start to finish. I think mostly in part by Yael. My first thoughts on her is that she had a lot of energy and a fun loving personality. Compared to the other dayares that I visited only one other one had a similar feeling when you walk right in. I felt that if I had a child I would be comfortable leaving him/her at this daycare for prolonged periods of time. Final thoughts: There are many daycares out there. Out of all the daycares I have visited, I thoroughly enjoyed all the things Love & Care Montessori and owner Yael had to offer. I am definitely recommending this place to my friend Steph and I recommend this to all of you as well who are reading my review. It might not be for everyone, but I encourage you to check it out.

The personal and academic growth she has experienced here has gone beyond what we ever imagined. Before enrolling at Towne and Country, she attended another preschool, and it was a terrible experience. In contrast, this school has truly been a blessing. The class sizes are small, the campus is clean and beautiful, and the curriculum is of a high standard. Most of the teachers have been here for years, which says a lot about the quality and stability of the school. My daughter especially loves the big playground and the fun science and cooking projects they do every month. I will always be thankful to Towne and Country for everything they have done for my daughter. I highly recommend this preschool!

The North Fullerton Kindercare Is a True Gem - A Second Home for My Daughter!…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about the North Fullerton Kindercare. From the moment I enrolled my daughter, it was clear I had found a special place filled with heart, dedication, and excellence. Every single day, my daughter is excited to go to school -- and that joy is a direct reflection of the incredible team that makes Kindercare feel like a second home. Vanessa, the center's director, is truly exceptional. Her leadership is the heartbeat of the entire center. She radiates warmth, professionalism, and a genuine love for every child and family who walks through the door. Vanessa knows each child personally and makes it a priority to create a safe, inclusive, and enriching environment. Her attentiveness, communication, and passion for early childhood education are unmatched -- and it shows in every detail of how the center is run. You can tell she leads not just with her head, but with her heart. Brianna is an absolute star and has had such a profound impact on my daughter's growth. She has a remarkable ability to connect with the kids, making them feel seen, heard, and supported. Her energy is contagious, and she brings so much creativity, warmth, and structure to the classroom. My daughter lights up when she talks about Brianna and all the fun days they share. It's rare to find someone who so naturally balances fun, learning, and compassion the way Brianna does -- I am incredibly lucky to have her in my daughter's life. Miss Valerie, Miss Victoria, Miss Peggy and Miss Sarah are also wonderful, bringing their own loving and steady presence into the classroom. Together, this team has created a space where children thrive not just academically, but emotionally and socially, too. One of the clearest signs of how much my daughter loves Kindercare? She insists on giving hugs to all of the teachers -- every single morning when she arrives and again before she leaves. That level of trust and affection doesn't happen by accident; it's built through the consistent love, kindness, and care she receives from everyone there. The entire Kindercare team feels like extended family. I am so thankful for the care, attention, and heart they pour into everything they do. My daughter is growing into a confident, curious, and joyful little person -- and I know Kindercare has played a huge role in that. My daughter used to be shy and would always hang onto those she trusts. To see her blossom into a loving, outgoing, confident little girl with help from the staff at Kindercare, makes my heart so full. I recommend them with full confidence and endless gratitude.
