She absolutely loves going to school and has built wonderful relationships with all of her teachers. Each teacher takes a genuine, active interest in every child and welcomes the students as if they were their own. Starkids provides nutritious breakfasts and lunches, along with a well-balanced daily schedule that perfectly blends learning and play. We are so grateful for the incredible teachers--Miss Fatima, Emily, Jocelyn, and Marina--who create such a nurturing and engaging environment. In just five months, we have seen tremendous growth in our daughter. Her discipline and social skills have improved significantly, and she now confidently recognizes all of her alphabets. Starkids Preschool truly is a hidden gem in Redlands, and we highly recommend it to any family looking for a caring and enriching preschool experience.

When our daughter was 2 1/2 years old, my husband and I made the difficult decision to send our…read morebaby to daycare. We wanted her to be in a place where she would not only be safe and loved, but where she could also learn, grow, and thrive developmentally. We toured several daycares throughout Riverside, and none of them came close to the level of comfort, trust, and peace of mind we felt the moment we walked into The Learning Experience in Redlands. From the incredible leadership of Miss Shannon and Miss Heather to every single teacher and teacher's aide, every person at this school has made a lasting impact on our family, especially on our daughter. They have loved her, encouraged her, celebrated her milestones, and helped shape her into the confident, curious, and kind little girl she is today. Special shout out to Miss Jackie, Miss Vanessa, Miss Ariana, Miss Miranda, Miss Kim! As a parent, leaving your child with someone else is never easy. But The Learning Experience made that transition so much easier by giving us complete confidence that our daughter was in the best hands. That kind of trust is priceless. As our daughter heads off to TK, it's incredibly bittersweet to say goodbye. We are so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication every member of this team has shown our family over the years. Please continue doing what you're doing because it's truly making a difference in the lives of children and their families. We will miss this school more than words can express. Thank you for giving us the peace of mind every parent hopes for and for helping our little girl build such a strong foundation for her future.

As a very particular and sometimes overly anxious mom, choosing a daycare for my daughter was one…read moreof the hardest decisions for me. I visited almost everywhere in the area (some of them 2-3 times) before making my decision. TLE Redlands was the first and only place that truly felt right to me, and giving a chance has honestly been one of the best decisions I've ever made for my daughter. From the managers to her teachers and every assistant teacher, everyone is incredibly warm, genuine, caring, and supportive. You can tell that they truly love the children and care for them as if they were their own. For me, the biggest thing is peace of mind. When I leave my daughter there, I don't spend the day worrying about her. I know she is loved, cared for, and in good hands and that means everything to a mom like me. She loves her teachers and she feels comfortable and safe! I genuinely believe it it one of the best childcare centers in CA! Thank you to the entire TLE Redlands team for taking such wonderful care of my little girl!

She absolutely adored her teachers and learned so much during her time there--from writing, reading, math, and science to learning about artists and recreating their work in their own styles. It was amazing to see how excited she became about learning and how much she genuinely looked forward to going to school. The school fostered independence and respect. The classrooms were always tidy, and the teachers taught the children to take responsibility for cleaning up after themselves, practice good table manners, care for their environment, and respect their classmates and teachers. The structure and routines prepared her well for elementary school, and she developed so much confidence along the way. The teachers at MKLA care deeply about the kids, and the knowledge, encouragement, and confidence they gave her will stay with both her and us always. We are incredibly thankful to her teachers for their patience and encouragement during such an important stage of her life.

My child began the summer program at VPS before entering preschool. She attended PS, Pre-K, and…read moreKindergarten before we had to move away. Since then, I've toured many school campuses to enroll her, and I can confidently say that VPS offers an exceptional academic program along with outstanding after-school options. One thing that really stood out to me was the weekly presentations my daughter did. I believe they were based on alphabet items, though I may be mistaken. Regardless, these presentations were wonderful for building confidence and public-speaking skills at an early age. The homework reinforced what the children learned in class, and the at-home projects helped them feel proud and capable just like the "big kids." The after-school programs are excellent. My daughter did imagination station, sprout and blossom, violin lessons, and homework club. It provides strong academic structure while also teaching manners, confidence, and responsibility. The staff is wonderful and truly knows every child. The only downside I experienced was when I requested a transcript for my child while applying to a new schools. I was told that transcripts were not available for those grades. I had asked if they could write a letter indicating they don't have transcripts or to create in for me but neither was done. After that, communication seemed to drop off, and it felt as though we were no longer a priority once we had left the school. Overall, I would still recommend VPS without hesitation. The tuition is also very reasonable for an IB and private school. I truly wish we could return to VPS or find another school just like it.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kids Land Academy. My two children have been in their…read morecare for several years, and the experience has been a blessing. Their educational program has prepared my oldest for kindergarten with age-appropriate worksheets, and it's clear that they are genuinely invested in fostering growth and development in every child they care for. They have an excellent outdoor play area, structured daily activities, and even a couple of annual field trips that make this daycare special. My son comes home talking about all his friends and daily activities. They also provide all snacks and meals for kids over the age of two, which is super helpful for busy working parents. As full-time healthcare workers with unpredictable schedules, finding care with a clear, consistent schedule and flexibility has been incredibly important to us. Kids Land Academy has been wonderful in accommodating our needs. Their minimal closures and understanding of our varying hours make it so much easier to balance work and family life. They have been very willing to work with us when adjustments are needed. A special mention goes to Mr. Naresh, who is possibly the calmest, most patient, and caring individual I've ever met. He has an incredible way with children, and I always feel at ease knowing that my kids are in his capable hands. His calm demeanor and nurturing nature create a safe and welcoming environment for the kids. I highly recommend Kids Land Academy to any parent looking for a caring, educational, and fun place for their little ones. It's truly been an exceptional experience for our family!

When you don't have family to watch your young child, and you have to work to pay the bills, you…read moreare faced with a very difficult decision to find a childcare provider you can trust to treat your child with the love and respect you would if you could just be there with them. When you consider how important these first years are to the emotional and educational development of your precious child, this decision is one of the most important ones you can make as a parent, and it requires a lot of trust. My wife and I faced this dilemma many years ago when we stumbled onto Lalita and the business she had just started, KidsLand Academy. Our son Jude was the first baby to enroll in what would become a thriving childcare built on the passions and talents of a woman who would become a Godsend to us and our child. Lalita gave our son many years of genuine love and care that no amount of money can guarantee. We were blessed to find her, and she and her family will always be close to our hearts, as they were willing to be the family we didn't have to watch our young Jude during those critical years while our family was just starting out. If you are reading this review, you are fortunate to have found her too. Jude is now 13 years old. He is a kind hearted, responsible, and respectful young man who has always been near the top of his class academically. He had a great start. Thank you, Lalita.

I would however challenge anyone to find a Christian among the staff, clientele, and teachers. In particular, it was found out that a teacher had been practicing a pagan ritual during the Halloween season. She had additionally invited the children and a few parents to participate (i.e. burning candles and making offerings to the dead). When "called out" about this ritual, the staff and teacher made "life very difficult" to put it mildly. This is simply one of many occurrences. Before enrolling, please do your "homework" and ask around the community. There are other options, as far as Christian schools.

For all incoming parent looking at this school definitely pay attention to the leadership here they are the reason we chose to leave. They charge a crazy amount for the summer fee and half the things they plan they end up canceling or barely even inform the parents of the dress up days. During the tye dye day if you don't provide your own shirt your child doesn't get to participate even after the parents spend an extra couple hundred dollars for a summer fee that's should cover the cost of shirts for the whole center! Your children will come in contact with countless germs and that is totally normal in a school setting but not even being informed if you or your child comes in contact with Covid during the height of the pandemic is beyond wrong! I honestly don't understand how this place is still in business with how it is being ran.
