Overall, a clean and safe environment option for daycare. Most of the teachers are sweet and…read morecaring... there were some teachers who lacked patience and some turnover (they were just fillers and didn't like teaching). The best part is that the children are learning a lot, in both English and Spanish which is a huge bonus! There is a set curriculum. They try to get parents involved in family events, which were very enjoyable. Shout out to my favorite sweet teachers: Ms Sophia and Ms Kerri.

I feel like my wife and I dodged a bad situation bringing our child here. The professionalism is…read moreextremely lacking. If they can't get something as simple as customer service and being professional in order why would I entrust them with my kid? At first we called the Downey location but they said there was a waitlist of 1 year but that the MLK location would have IMMEDIATE enrollment. We didn't mind joining the waitlist for Downey while still enrolling our child at the MLK location. Downey is on the way to where I work and though MLK is a bit out of the at but I would have made it work for the time being until Downey had a spot. Downey location sent me a PDF form that already had another family information all over it-clearly a violation of their privacy as now I had their name, address, child's name and other sensitive information. Emailed Helia back letting her know but received no response. I proceeded to try to call MLK; the phone would ring and ring and then it would disconnect as if someone was denying the call or picking up and hanging up. I then decided to use the texting service that they claim "responds in minutes." Yes, maybe the automated portion responds in minutes but as soon as a live agent takes over it's an extremely long wait. 4:15pm someone tells me to "hold on while I connect you with someone who can help..." 4:26pm I ask "how long should I wait?" 5:30pm didn't have anyone connected so I messaged back "hello." 7:15am the next day someone replies back without even acknowledging the wait. I didn't mention it until the information I received that there would be a waitlist for about 6 months at MLK. What happened to IMMEDIATE enrollment? Then they have the nerve to tell me that using the online chat is the quickest way to get a response, not calling or texting. Why do you have phone numbers listed and text services available if it's a terrible way to communicate with you? What if there's an emergency that I need to pick up my child? Yea, no thanks but this place is a hard pass. They might be affordable compared to other care centers but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." TLDR; There is a major disconnect between centers even though they claim to be affiliated. They have no regard for privacy since they blindly send out forms without checking if there is another families information on them. Their customer service is abysmal since they didn't pick up multiple phone calls and left me waiting for more than 12 hours on the text service or respond to emails.

I love that they post the lesson plan so you can reinforce the learning at home. There is a lot of communication through the Class Dojo app and postings at school. He also was potty trained fully in 2 months which I was more than happy to pay the extra $25-30 a week for that guidance. They have fun activities like field trips, Christmas recitals, special guests like firemen, dentists, etc. He LOVES his teachers, Ms. Cynthia and Ms. Khalifa and we do too! They really understand each child and their personality nuances. I can share what is happening at home and they help guide and reinforce behavior changes at school. It takes a village to raise a child and I'm so thankful to have Oakwood Academy as part of mine!

They are so patient and loving with the children and truly have their best interest at heart. The teachers love to see the kids blossom and are very proud of their achievements. I would choose Kidz R Us again in a heartbeat. So much for my 1 month review!!! Our daughter has now been attending Kidz R Us for 9 months and we couldn't be more pleased. The previously spoken about Director, Miss Samitha still pleases us as much as when we first met her. All of her staff are very pleasant and easy to talk to and work with. Our daughter has learned so many new things here and continues to do so. The teachers are very loving and respond to the children in a very calm manner, even when the kids get out of hand....not quite like I would hahaha. All joking aside, the environment is that of love, positive reinforcement and redirection which I think works really well. We plan to keep our daughter here until she is old enough to attend "regular" school.

Ms. Sonia is very organized, upbeat, and responsive. I feel like the teachers are always trying to do creative and fun work with the children and my son is always excited to tell me about whatever it is they are studying that week. It is very clear that the entire teaching staff really love the children and enjoy watching them grow/develop. I have never once heard a teacher raise their voice and I always see them modeling patience/kindness. I also love that they provide community style eating where the children not only try new foods, but I don't have to bring lunch! There is an enclosed outside area and a gym that the children always use. A big plus for my little boy. Most importantly, this school is more affordable than any I've enrolled in with hours that fit a fulltime working schedule. As a busy working mom, I highly suggest Kidz R Us.

i cannot recommend this school enough. my daughter moved to America and was Spanish speaking only…read more myself and her step mom were extremely worried about finding a program that would be able to handle a child that not only didn't know English but also didn't know this country and came to America after a traumatic incident. immediately after the first day my daughter couldn't wait to go back to school. she loved all her teachers and felt so comfortable with them. even with the language barrier, she made so many friends. and I was shocked that within 3-4 months of being in school here, she picked up so much English that she was able to communicate at a basic level with English speakers. the school hours was also a huge plus. my partner and I work very long hours so the fact that school is open 7am -6 pm is something that is much needed in these day and ages. the school puts in many events for the kids such as petting zoo days and pool days. it's amazing what they do for them. and they provide meals. unfortunately we moved an hour away for work and the only thing that was making us consider staying in Long Beach and just commuting was the fact that we didn't want to lose this school. wish they had a location where we moved to. We will miss everyone there- Emir and Rachel Contreras
