One thing I really appreciated was how they tailored each lesson to my pace. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed. My instructor gave clear, constructive feedback after every session, which helped me improve quickly without ever feeling discouraged. You can tell they really care about their students' success, not just checking boxes. I passed my behind-the-wheel test on my first try and I can say it is because of this driving school!

At first, I was so excited to find Montessori Achievement Centre, I was looking for a traditional…read moreMontessori preschool for my daughter. During the tour, I asked a few questions to confirm what they advertised on their website -- that they were a traditional Montessori school. I asked Patricia, the founder and director, if there were any ways in which they deviated from traditional Montessori practices and principles and she said, "no, we don't deviate at all from traditional Montessori practices." So, I was shocked when picking up my 2 year old a little early from "Montessori time" (830am-130pm) to find the entire school huddled around a TV watching Troll cartoons. This is a double whammy of violating the Montessori principles of not using technology/screen time and avoiding fantasy. After asking Patricia about it, she confirmed that they put the kids in front of the television when it was hot outside. (With the location in East County, it is hot a lot in the afternoons.) Given that they lied about staying true to traditional Montessori practices and principles, I didn't feel safe continuing to leave my toddler in their care, because I don't trust that they aren't misleading about other areas of their care. I understand if a preschool decides to use TV sometimes, but I don't feel that it's okay to mislead parents about it. Their communication has been terrible from day one, from not telling me everything I needed to bring with her on the first day of school even when I specifically asked, to not informing me of major milestones like the first time she went on the potty. Since I've pulled my daughter out, I have not been able to get a response from the school about getting my full refund (they only sent a check with a portion of the security deposit and no explanation on why they are not refunding me for the entire security deposit plus the days she will not be attending in July) nor a reply to any of my emails.

My two children both attended Kindercare from the age of three months through last Christmas…read morebreak... They are 6 and 8 now. To rate a child care center poorly because your "baby cried" is like condemning the state of Washington because it rained. It wasn't a perfect journey, because whose childhood is, but this place feels like home to both of my kids. From the desperate, sobbing mornings leaving my infants behind (Teacher Esae trying to convince me that if I leave quickly, it will hurt less for everyone), to the excitement of my daughter taking a cooking class at four years old, this center really spanned the gamut of positive experiences for both kids, and for two parents who both had to work to make ends meet in this outrageously expensive city. My son did get bullied. But the center can't prevent terrible parents from raising terrible children. Any incident was reported promptly and the staff did absolutely everything they could to keep my child (and several others) away from the bully. Eventually, the center reported that the child no longer attended Kindercare, and our gratitude for that resolution endeared the staff to us even more. The center also accommodated bus delivery of my son to a nearby elementary school to which they had never bussed before, though they certainly weren't obliged to. Through covid, they were an absolute godsend as both my husband and I were required to report to work as first responders. The center was helpful and understanding as we all navigated the new normal. Occasionally, during random school breaks, we will still need to call on the center for a week or two of care, and director Celia always leaves the door open for us. This year, she even went out of her way to fully understand the new, complicated care protocol for our son's diabetes diagnosis/treatment. At no point did we ever feel uncertain about leaving our children there. In particular, teacher Shonda and Miss Barbara have made our kids' lives so much better, and they will always have a special place in our family's memories. The cost of daycare is crippling. That's just a fact. But this center does not set their own rates, corporate obviously does, so throwing a fit about it on a review forum is absolute ignorance. The standards that this staff sets for their individual care and attention, as well as amicable and reassuring relationships with the parents, is exactly what we were looking for in a daycare, and it was delivered in spades. 10/10, very highly recommended.

The patience, attention and care all the staff has had with my children has been amazing! The communication between Ms. Celia the director, Ms. Lily the vice director and all the amazing staff, has allowed me to be at work and have full trust that my girls are being well taken care of. My kids love their teachers and all the activities that they do, especially during summer time. The daily schedule for the classrooms has several activities to keep their minds active and busy. They also provide transportation to and from my daughters school which helps immensely! If you're looking for excellent child care, they are definitely the best option!

This has been, by far, the worst school experience my child has ever had. The administration…read moreconsistently fails to protect students who are being bullied and shows a troubling lack of understanding around mental health. Instead of addressing the behavior of documented bullies, the administration routinely shifts blame onto parents and punishes the victims. The principal, Mr. Tropp, demonstrates no accountability and has been openly condescending when legitimate concerns are raised. After assuring me he would conduct a full investigation into my son's bullying situation, he claimed to have reached a "conclusion" within hours. Our meeting began at 3:00 p.m. -- yet by 10:00 a.m. the next morning, he announced the investigation was complete. Considering school ends at 4:00 p.m. and doesn't reopen until 8:00 a.m., it's clear no thorough investigation took place. My son was repeatedly bullied, and only when he finally defended himself did the school take action against him, not the aggressor. The district seems more interested in protecting staff than protecting students. Parents deserve a school where safety, accountability, and genuine mental-health awareness are priorities. Unfortunately, this school has demonstrated the exact opposite.
