Our family would give this school ten stars if we could! It is a great place to start out your…read morechild's early education. Compared to other Montessori schools in the area, the price is really affordable. The tuition is fair and there is no gouging with large mark-ups for children that stay the full day because their parents work full time. The teachers are very, very good. Our oldest daughter really excelled under Ms. Afsaneh and Ms. Dilhara. They gave her a solid foundation to early letter sounds and reading. Our younger child was in the toddler room with Ms. Janna. Both loved going to school. The teachers made learning fun, engaging and encouraged their natural curiosity. The school also provides meals, it's part of the tuition cost. All the meals provided are peanut and nut free - which was great for us as our oldest daughter has that allergy. The teachers were also trained and competent with epi-pens and emergency response, if needed. Our youngest daughter is allergic to eggs. The catering company provided me with monthly menus and ingredient lists so I could send alternate meals with her on the days she could not eat the school food. It was very organized and worked well. The school is located in an office complex, which has a lot of green area. They have their own playground and often take nature walks along the tree-lined parks and paths. The school provides Spanish lessons once a week. And, there are optional music and soccer classes. The teachers are very understanding and great about communicating with you on your individual child's development and needs. The school really caters to working parents. Any family-event activities are at the beginning or end of the day. And, their pick and drop off times are flexible. We recently had to move to California for work, and it has really put into perspective for us how great this school was. We've tried two different Montessori schools in San Diego, and in addition to being a fair bit more expensive, the teachers just don't compare. I would highly, highly recommend this pre-school to anyone looking to give their child a fun, positive and safe place to start their early education. Your child will have a solid foundation in basic reading and math while still supporting their natural curiosity an growth. There is a bit of a wait list, so be sure to contact the school in advance. If you are trying for the infant room, call when you know you are pregnant. For the 3+ class, the wait isn't as long, but call to find out. It's worth the wait.

Oak Hill is a very strict Montessori school. The teachers expect absolute silence and for the…read morechildren to perform all of the Montessori activities by the book. Children who do not adapt to these strict expectations are labeled learning disabled and parents are encouraged to get the child evaluated. I was told my 3 year old son had a cognitive learning disability because he did not listen. When I challenged the teacher on her ability to diagnose my child she got very defensive. When I told her my pediatrician said he was normal and he passed a hearing test Tasneem said that pediatricians do not evaluate children the way LD therapist do. When I told her we were not getting him evaluated and they should try giving him stars for good listening or try something esl she told us that we needed to leave the school in two weeks. Another parent told me her son did not do his work was not allowed to go to the playground. Other children have been expelled because they did not ask for assignments. But by far my biggest complaint is that the teachers speak horrible English. Ms. Afsahneh plagerizes her monthly newsletters from other sources. The part of the newsletter she does write is full of grammatical errors. I also note that the newletters are monthly and in arrears. When I asked her to give me updates on my son's naps, lunch, etc. she said that with a class of 18 she could not be expected to do this. They do not even give you a list of the other students names. The assistants are nice but unable to carry on a conversation in English. Ms. Asfsaneh is very unstable when faced with anything hard. When I asked her to help with potty training she got all flustered and upset with me that he was not fully trained and told me he had to be trained at home. Tasneem also told me that my 3 year old made Ms. Afsahneh cry because he would not stay on his nap during nap time. At our only conference and the one where we were asked to leave Ms. Afsaneh could not look us in the eyes. She sat with her arms crossed sething, angry that our 3 year old was "doing nothing". She would not entertain any ideas to help assimilate him to the Montessori classroom. The most frustrating part was when my husband and I separately visited the classroom our son did do the work...although he hung 2 eggs on one branch of a tree when apparently you are only supposed to hang one egg per branch.

We will definitely miss seeing all the wonderful people we have grown to love over this past year. I highly recommend Christ Lutheran Preschool.

On February 1st, I tried to enroll both of my children for a one-week session to see if they would enjoy it before committing further. I successfully signed up my son, but my daughter was waitlisted. Since we needed both kids in camp at the same time due to work schedules, I immediately contacted the camp for insight into whether she had a chance of getting in. It took two days to get a response, only to be told that the waitlist had 130 people and she would not be getting in. Realizing that it didn't make sense to send just one child, I immediately requested to unenroll my son. Weeks later, I finally received confirmation--along with a $200 cancellation charge! It's absurd that there was no way to place my son on a waitlist before enrolling, forcing families with multiple children into an impossible situation. This policy is unfair and completely lacks consideration for working parents. If you have more than one child, I'd strongly advise against this camp unless you're okay with paying a steep fee for a situation that's out of your control. This experience makes me question the camp's priorities--would you want to send your child somewhere that doesn't understand the basic point of camp?

I am a parent, who was really loyal to this school, and I tried to resolve our communication issues…read morelooong time. My older sun went to this school at 2021 when director was Mariah Pirhala. And she was the sweetest lady who really love kids and really take care of them. We talked about it with Mariah before I signed up my 2 kids for the next school year 22-23, and before I paid the 2 months tutoring for 2 Kids $2274. And she said that for this school year (21-22) they will be required masking inside for both kids and teachers, but for the next year, if the community level will be low, and all situation will stay positive with Covid, they will remove this requirement. And that was absolutely ok, and seems normal. School has to started at sep 12. Last email I got from RLP was from June 4. And in August I accidentally got the information that Mariah is not a director any more, and RLP has nobody at this position. They finally hired the new director at aug 18. And of course she was not able to do all the documentation in time. There was no plan for kids development, no Covid protocols, no parent hand book. NOTHING. At the parent meeting 1 week before school starts they finally said that they will keep requiring masks inside for kids and teachers. No any digital or hard copies of Covid protocols and other documentation was not provided. They hired almost all new teachers for new school year, and we met them 1 week before school starts.. when I asked about the program for kids for the new school year, they said that they have no academic orientation at the school... oops... your web site tells me other thing. New teachers was hired 2 weeks before school starts, they know nothing about school, can not answer any questions. For my older son I decided right away that he will not attend this school at the 22-23 year. But I gave him a try for the first day - he came back and said this school was super boring. My younger son went there 2 weeks.. he is 2,5 y.o. Potty trained and talk very nice, not English, But he know some key phrases. First week he just said "good bye mum" and walk away with smile. But second week was terrible. It looks like something happened there, or nobody taking care of him... he tell me that he was by himself and nobody talk with him, he can not understand what people saying and what is going on because he can not see the faces. after two weeks his new teacher were changed... it is tells me something. New Director Gina Thomson talked with me in sep 7 and she said if the community level will stay low at the end of September, school will remove the masks. I was waiting till October... Guess what? They did not, but the charge me another 612$ for another month for my younger son. I was remind her about what she said, and she answered that they "are seeing a rise in the number of students with cold and flu symptoms and will continue to watch". But this is not COVID!!!! This is regular autumn situation! After that I send another email, where I explain my position. When I sign up the documents last year I was sure that if the objective situation will be safe, masks will be not required. That I have the experience how harmful masks are for speech development for such young kids (like my older son, who has HUGE progress after I moved him in normal preschool with normal masks policy for such low COVID level). That all other preschools are masks-free from the last year! That this is ridiculous that all people can come to their church without masks, but all their preschoolers, who are safe and they are their "loved kids" has to wear the masks and have all difficulties with this... this is not fair! But she said that she want to talk with me, not write the answers. So my total loss 5 month paid tutoring (2882$) for 7 days attending. This school not refunded any penny! They just give you empty promises. They don't care about kid's development. The most important for them - your money. Their directors changing every year, as long as their teachers. They don't have any real protocols. They do not interest in the parents opinion. (90% parents was super upset about masks requirements for this year, and asked a lot of questions. RLP don't care!) Only one thing is good about RLP - the furniture and Gym inside. When I asked my older child about this school, he keep telling me that no one teacher really spend time with kids, no talking, no exploring, no discovering. They just observe and give material for free imagination. Now my older kid going in another preschool with academic plan for every week! I can see how he develops, they are masks free, teachers spent one-on-one time with every kid. This preschool cost 2 times less! And my son has HUGE progress. If you considering RLP - you better not! I am super sorry that I believed them for so long time. They can talk very beautiful speech but this is just BS ...

Our daughter started at Elefantitos Preschool at just 7 months old, and over the past three years…read morewe've watched her truly blossom into a confident, tri-lingual (Spanish, English, and Mandarin) 3-year-old who is intellectually advanced--already beginning to read, write, and do arithmetic--and remarkably emotionally aware, with healthy tools to calm herself during big feelings and express herself with words. The nurturing environment created by the school director Sam has made all the difference; she brings a unique warmth and connection with the children, and her genuine care is something we deeply trust and value. As Elefantitos transitions to Pike & Rose, Sam continues to demonstrate exceptional thoughtfulness toward families--for example, generously making school parking available to help me manage carpool logistics when my employer required a return to office without adequate on-site parking. She truly treats both the children and their parents like family, supporting us through challenges and incorporating family milestones and personal accomplishments into school celebrations. Elefantitos has given our family not just a preschool, but a true community. If you're considering preschool options, I highly encourage you to check them out--you won't regret it.
