Our daughter has been going to CVCA since kindergarten (now in 4th grade) and we couldn't be…read morehappier with her there. The teachers are kind, organized and keep the kids well-disciplined. Kids are challenged academically and given opportunities to flourish. Not all children who attend the school are Christian but it is a place where kids are encouraged to live out their faith and follow Jesus. Bible lessons, daily prayers and chapel are some ways the school does this. We love the diversity of students who attend, the family atmosphere and the quality of teaching. Compared to other private schools and the quality of education, the price is very reasonable.

Not impressed at all!! little kids not knowing where to go and teachers aids talking and texting on…read moretheir phones! Instead of helping and guiding these kids.

Education wise seems to be good so far but I can't say the same for the way the system is ran…read morethere. At 8:30, and again 8:35 , mind you the late bell is 8:45, all we hear in cafeteria is the rushing of kids to get to the yard to not be late . Kids shouldn't be rushed to finish school breakfast, it's an everyday constant thing, I also encourage you to help during the day and go to lunch with your child , same thing goes on. School spirit is great , my child loves attending school no complains there but I don't like that if I wasn't with my kid they would be rushed and probraly not stay and finish food like I instructed to do since all they hear 15mins prior to the bell to ring is don't be late . My child went to different school previous to this and never did they feel rush to eat breakfast or lunch or did I ever feel they where being rushed in the cafeteria, both school Ceres unified . Different school different way of being ran . During summer school the doors weren't locked by the office and after two weeks stopped sending my kids to summer school . STAFF DONT RUSH KIDS TO EAT THEIR BREAKFAST OR LUNCH. Seems to be a norm around here .

My child has been coming to Kiddie Kingdom since she was about five months. She is now 2 almost 2…read more1/2 and I've always had such a good experience with the facility and the staff. Everyone here is so caring and patient with the kids and understanding with the parents. The facility itself is clean and safe and is a similar to a school room setting. Each day there's new activities that are fun or educational that makes my child excited to go. The children are taught to treat each other with kindness and respect and are all treated fairly. I feel so at ease knowing my child is somewhere with people I can trust and that she is safe while I am at work.

I came for a tour and was ignored by two staff members while I waited in the entrance area. Then as…read moreI observed during my wait, I witnessed one of the staff change one toddler's diaper then grab another kid to change her diaper with no gloves and without washing hands in between. I left immediately and I think this place should be reported to the county!

Perhaps some improvement, but a culture is difficult to change…read more Blatant gender and racial discrimination. Years ago sold "Picka ninny" dolls in the school office. Gender and racial slurs on the students' playground. Bullying was rampant. No adults, teachers, aides or principal would set the tone and enforce the rules. Any teacher who did expect proper behavior and did protect her students from bullying got bullied from staff and parents. Many teachers, themselves behaved as if they were in Jr. High cliques. Terrible abuse of teachers. CUTA Failed to represent, protect innocent teachers fromt the fraud and abuses. False allegations against teacher(s) seem to have been the norm. But Administration and District Administration failed to turn that around. Thus they lost Good, effective teachers of high integrity and left those who "went along" and cheated on tests. Perhaps it's changed. Why do I think not? Local Teachers Association fails to advocate for a safe & healthy work place for teachers and students. There were years of urine stench in primary wing, feces on boys bathroom walls, urine and vomit left on carpets that were unsanitized. Many portables had mold, sooty particles in rooms. Either from vents or custodial vacuums. Asthma rampant due to irritating particulate matter in classrooms. Does Ceres Unified Care? Each time District was advised they ignored and went after the messenger. They seem more interested in protecting positions of local aides etc. than protecting and properly educating students to be civilized, productive citizens.

This review has been a long time coming! I've had my daughter in Maria's care since she was about 3…read moremonths old, and has recently turned 2. I did my research before hand and was scared to trust anyone beside myself with my angel girl, but Maria came recommended and I can say this is the best decision we have made as a family. She's been great since day 1, from making our growth transitions smooth, being flexible with our needs and wants. She's patient, loving, and really cares about my child, from development needs has been open to so much. I 100% say go for it if your looking into Maria's childcare, I wish there more reviews like this to help other parents choose what's the best fit for them. Thank you Maria, Emily, Mina for all you do!
