We were incredibly blessed to enroll our daughter into this school! All of the teachers here are so…read morekind and loving! Huge shout-out to Ms. Cecil and Ms. Sandy for being such awesome teachers! Many thanks to Ms. Maria, Ms. Kiran, and Ms. Hailee for helping provide such a positive and caring atmosphere for all the kiddos. They all really nurtured our daughter into a much more confident and social little girl. Their emphasis on teaching real life skills and social competence really shows in the way our daughter carries herself outside of school and we're super proud parents because of it! Some background: My daughter went to two other preschools before we landed permanently here at GG Montessori. She had some trauma from very rigid teachers. She seemed stressed during drop-offs and pick-ups at those previous schools and one teacher had made comments that she was "lazy". Turns out she just didn't want to listen to the teacher because she was mean to the kids and my daughter was scared of her. This changed when we switched to GG Montessori. She began being excited to go and would always have a bubbly happy smile as well as something nice to say about the day come pick-up time! Ms. Cecil had let us know that she took extra care to get our daughter to warm up over their first couple months together. We are so grateful to her for repairing the damage done by the other schools! We also saw tons of the worksheets where she was learning to write both numbers and letters and all of the fun craft activities that improved her dexterity. Our favorite was the little dance numbers and songs they put together about twice a year. Those were super adorable and fun for everyone! We really hope to be able to come back for our second child in a couple years!

We are so grateful to have found this preschool for our son. He currently attends here and…read moreabsolutely loves all of his teachers. Our son has a speech delay and can become frustrated when he's unable to express his needs, but his teacher, Ms. Cecile, has been incredibly patient, supportive, and motivating in helping him communicate more. We've already seen such positive growth in his confidence and willingness to talk. The director, Ms. Kiran, is also very kind, accommodating, and genuinely caring. It's clear that everyone here truly cares about the children and creates a warm, loving environment for them to grow and learn in. As a parent, it means so much to know your child is in good hands. Highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a nurturing and supportive place for their child.

Our son attended Chapman from the time he was 5 months old until he graduated from preschool, and…read morewe couldn't have asked for a better experience. As first-time parents, we were understandably nervous about leaving our child in the care of others. From day one, the staff made us feel welcome, supported, and most importantly, confident that our son was in a safe and caring environment. It was clear that every teacher genuinely cared about his well-being and worked hard to help him feel comfortable in this environment. Even as he moved into different classrooms, the teachers continued to check in on him and kept us informed about his development. They all seemed genuinely invested in his growth and were cheerleaders in his corner as he hit certain milestones. When we had questions/concerns, the staff were easily accessible and quick to respond to address them. The curriculum was engaging, diverse, and challenging. At times, we could see he was having a difficult time with some of the worksheets but provided guidance and support so that he would not feel discouraged. We feel that Chapman did a great job in preparing our son for his next school. We've seen how confident and capable he is with the new lessons in his new classroom. While it was bittersweet to say goodbye, we are incredibly grateful for the journey and for the teachers and staff who played such an important role in our son's early years. We highly recommend Chapman to any family looking for a nurturing, supportive, and high-quality early childhood program.

I wanted to share my experience with Chapman Montessori Daycare. Unfortunately, the overall vibe…read morejust didn't feel right to me. The environment didn't come across as very warm or kid-friendly, which immediately raised some concerns. What stood out the most was their policy around classroom access. I completely understand and respect not wanting to disrupt learning time, but parents are not allowed to enter the classroom or even look through the window to check on their child. For me, that lack of transparency felt like a major red flag. Also, in the state of California, parents are generally allowed to access areas where their children are present, especially in licensed childcare settings. Knowing that made this policy feel even more concerning. As a parent, feeling comfortable and reassured about your child's environment is extremely important, and I didn't get that sense here. I would recommend proceeding with caution or exploring other options that allow for more openness and peace of mind.

If I could give this daycare 100 stars, I absolutely would…read more I originally came to this daycare because I had an 11 month old baby. My three year old at the time was attending another daycare that only accepted children age two and up. I wanted both of my kids in the same place, so I enrolled them here and I am so grateful I did. My son started here when he was about 11 months old, and from the very beginning you could tell the staff genuinely love and have a true passion for children. My daughter started when she was three and was very shy and scared at first, but her teachers and the staff made her feel so comfortable. She was able to be herself here, just like she is at home. I truly love all the staff and the amazing events they put together. They make every holiday so special and fun for the kids Halloween, Easter, open house events, picture days, and so much more. You can really tell how much effort and love they put into creating these moments, and that's something I truly appreciate as a parent. They even allowed me to have a birthday lunch for my daughter's 4th birthday, and she was beyond thrilled. For my son's 1st birthday, they also made it feel so special. Those little moments mean everything, and it shows how much they truly care about each child. My daughter is now four, turning five, and will be graduating with her TK class. Thanks to this daycare, she already knows her ABCs and colors in Spanish, which is amazing. My one year old son already knows his colors, loves singing, and absolutely loves everyone here. What I also really appreciate is that if there is ever an issue or concern, the staff communicates it kindly and respectfully. They truly work as a team with parents to find solutions and support the child, which means so much to me. Even though my daughter will be leaving, my son will continue here and I will gladly make the commute because the care, love, and dedication from the staff is worth it. The atmosphere here is so welcoming my mom loves it, my family loves it, and I love it. I would 100% recommend this daycare. You will not regret choosing this place. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my children.

My 3-year-old daughter, Serena, has been attending Dragonfly Academy for about three months, and I…read morecouldn't be more impressed. Transitioning from an at-home daycare to a structured preschool with classrooms and planned activities felt like a big step, but it was exactly what she needed. The teachers create the most adorable, age-appropriate arts and crafts. She has brought home so many treasures like turkey handprints, green glitter pinecones, and pumpkin worksheets. The school itself is incredibly lively--the front office, doors, and classrooms are always beautifully decorated, often showcasing the children's work and following holiday themes. It's such a warm, joyful environment for learning. When my toddler started at Dragonfly Academy, she was still on diapers, and I was lucky if I could get her to even sit on the toilet. Thanks to the patient and dedicated teachers, she's now fully potty-trained! It warms my heart to see how much she loves her teacher, Ms. Huong, and how excited she is to talk about her classmates. She also comes home with her hair tied in cute hairstyles that are much better than I can do at home haha. I've had the chance to attend several events like the pumpkin patch field trip, the Halloween parade, the Thanksgiving potluck, and the Christmas concert. I watched my daughter, along with other toddlers her age, confidently get up on stage to sing, dance, and follow choreographed moves. It was truly amazing to see how the teachers were able to nurture such confidence and joy in such young children (and got all these toddlers to follow directions!). Each time, I'm blown away by the effort the staff puts into making these events special and engaging for the kids. The staff are absolute professionals when it comes to helping children adjust and feel comfortable. They have a magical way of using stickers, toys, and little treats to ease the transition from parents to the classroom. I'm also grateful for the consistent updates from Ms. Amy, Ms. Daisy, and Ms. Huong about Serena's progress and upcoming events. Dragonfly Academy has been such a blessing for our family. I'm so proud to see my daughter thriving in this nurturing, vibrant environment, and I can't thank the hardworking, talented staff enough.

When I originally wrote this review, my one concern with TLC was the management at the time. Since…read morethen, Ms. Jae, who was already part of the teaching staff, has taken over as director, and I feel it is only fair that I come back and update my review. The change in leadership has made a tremendous difference. Ms. Jae, together with dedicated longtime teachers such as Ms. Natalie and Ms. Helene, has really helped turn the school around and brought much-needed positive changes to TLC. It is especially nice to see the school being led by someone who already knows the children, teachers, families, and culture of the school. The teachers were always what made TLC special for us, and now it is wonderful to see the leadership moving in the same positive direction. Although our daughter has moved on, we still have very fond memories of her three years there and of the teachers who helped her become the student she is today. I'm very happy to be able to update my original review and say that the concerns I previously expressed about management no longer reflect my impression of TLC today. A heartfelt thank-you to Ms. Jae, Ms. Natalie, Ms. Helene, and all of the teachers and staff who have worked so hard to make TLC a better place for its children and families.

We are so beyond grateful for the care, love, and guidance our son, Evan received at TLC Learning…read more This review is longgg overdue, but the impact this school has had on him is something we will always remember. Under the nurturing care of Ms. Natalie, Ms. Helen, and Ms. Katherine our son grew in ways we could have never imagined. Each of them played such a meaningful role in his development emotionally and socially. They were patient, gentle, and attentive to his needs, helping him build confidence, independence, and curiosity. Because of their dedication, he transitioned to public school feeling prepared, supported, and excited for the next chapter. We will always be thankful for everything these amazing teachers poured into him. If you're looking for a preschool that treats your child like their own and creates a safe, loving learning environment, this is the place. We miss you all!

As a single father of 3. I was recommended to Orangefield by Sunnyside Elementary. I called in and…read moreSahlily answered professional to ask when I was available for a tour. I came the same day and was amazed by the cleanliness of the location. As you walk through the gate there is a security camera to check who walks in and out. Multiply rooms for different age groups to be in class. They keep babies away from the toddlers and big kids so your children are in a SAFE environment. A HUGE yard in the center of the location for the kids to tire themselves out. All the staff members have taken well care of my 6 and 5 year boys. For my 17 month daughter it's consistently a fight to bring her home because she always wants to stay with Miss Delaia. What amazed me is that they help her so much with learning. My daughter has severe separation anxiety prior to coming to orangefield and just didn't want to walk. Miss Sahlily, Delaia, and Dulce taught her how to WALK. I loved it because they would send me footage every single day of the progress so I didn't miss a cherish moment while being at work. What I LOVE Is these girls at orangefield have such an amazing abilities with these children and are active in the community. Being role models to these young kids and always being positive in the eyes of the children is a plus for me!!! They are truly committed to each individual kid and embrace them with love. Orangefield maybe a business establishment but when your children go there...they will feel a family environment.
