Keystone Montessori School is truly a wonderful place. I absolutely love Mrs. Laura, the director…read more-- she has been nothing short of amazing, and I hardly know where to begin. She is incredibly hands-on, always ready to assist in any classroom that needs support. She is protective, kind, caring with every child, and exceptionally patient. I also want to give honorable mentions to Ms. Katrina and Ms. Jasmine, two outstanding teachers who help my son feel safe while making learning fun every single day. Before attending this school, my son struggled with eating independently and socializing. Now, he is so much more confident -- he eats on his own, uses more words to express what he wants, and is far more open to making friends. The growth we've seen has been incredible. I remember reading some negative reviews before enrolling him and feeling skeptical. However, after our experience, I can confidently say they do not reflect the environment we have encountered. I am genuinely so happy to share such a positive review. If you're having second thoughts or feel unsure, I encourage you to give this school a chance and see the difference for yourself. Watching your child grow and thrive here is something you won't regret.

We were recommended Keystone Montessori by another provider, and I honestly couldn't agree more…read morewith all the praise! We recently started here, and it has been such a positive experience. My daughter has struggled with self-regulation issues in the past and has often been dismissed or labeled as "challenging," but the staff here has been incredible. They are genuinely willing to work with her while I manage outside support, which allows me to keep working without constant worry. Without this school, I honestly don't know where I'd be as a working mom. The staff is amazing -- so supportive, attentive, and proactive -- and they keep my daughter engaged, happy, and thriving. I can't recommend Keystone Montessori highly enough!

Prospective families should be aware that the Executive Director does not operate in true…read morepartnership with parents. When concerns are raised, communication is handled in a dismissive manner rather than through collaboration or dialogue. Parent input is acknowledged superficially, key points are bypassed, and agreements made at the classroom level are not upheld at the executive level. After receiving an assessment that did not accurately reflect our child's abilities (completed less than two months into enrollment), we raised concerns about the lack of context, narrative, and communication. The teachers acknowledged the assessment was not an accurate reflection of her capabilities and agreed it should be updated to reflect her short acclimation period and current capabilities. However, when this was escalated to the Executive Director, those agreements were disregarded. Rather than updating the assessment as discussed, leadership insisted on singling out a child instead of correcting an administrative misstep. Requests to simply revise the original assessment with accurate context were dismissed. When we expressed concern about the long-term academic implications of having an inaccurate student record, we were dismissed. The Executive Director superficially acknowledged our concerns, and reasonable requests were met with inflexibility rather than problem-solving. A school's culture is shaped from the top. If families are leaving, leadership may want to reflect on how parent advocacy is received and addressed.

Great preschool, teachers are friendly and staff is on it when it comes to any questions you may…read morehave.

For the past 3 1/2 years, our daughter has had the incredible blessing of attending Eagles Nest…read morePreschool through the City of Whittier, and we truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. From the very beginning, Eagles Nest has been a loving, nurturing, and professional environment where children are genuinely cared for and celebrated. The staff is highly educated, experienced, and deeply committed to each child's growth -- academically, socially, and emotionally. Their dedication shows in everything they do. Our daughter has flourished here. She is happy, confident, and excited to go to school each day. She has built meaningful friendships and formed beautiful bonds with her teachers, who have shown her patience, encouragement, and kindness every step of the way. The curriculum is thoughtful and engaging, and the special events they incorporate throughout the year truly make families feel involved and connected. What stands out most is the heart of this school. The teachers and administrators are willing to work closely with families, offering support and guidance through behavioral challenges or learning struggles with compassion and professionalism. They truly partner with parents, and that makes all the difference. As we approach her final year at Eagles Nest, we already feel emotional knowing she will soon be moving on. This school has been such a special and foundational part of her early childhood, and we are so grateful for the love and care they have poured into her over these years. We wholeheartedly and highly recommend Eagles Nest Preschool to any family looking for a warm, structured, and supportive place for their child to grow and thrive. Thank you, Eagles Nest, for helping shape our daughter's early years in the most beautiful way. As an educator myself, I am very happy to write this review for a wonderful school that has kept my daughter safe, supported, and has become extended family With much gratitude and love, THE ROMERO FAMILY

The facility is very clean, and the communication has been great. I can already see a difference in how my little one is communicating, which is so exciting.

I recommend this school, they do many activities and keep the kids engaged. We miss you guys

Inside, outside, crafts, toys, everything. This age is for learning how to play with others and be a good friend! They give so much space for play and time to explore their interests or self direct. - a curriculum to help our kids be ready for pre-k and kindergarten. -the property has a spacious outdoor playground and is secure. -There are 3 separate classrooms for dedicated support based on their age and development. -2 of my son's potty trained here. They were consistent, supportive and communicative. A team effort! -events and opportunities for parent involvement. -lots of pictures and parent communication through the procare app The tuition for full-time (630am-6pm) is around 200/wk per child. I've been connected to Ready Set Grow for 5 years (with a covid gap 2020 through 2022) and I really don't know how we would have survived and thrived without them. My last kid is about to transition out of RSG and into pre-k. A million thanks to Ready set grow for all you've done for me and my family!

Both my kiddos are now in the school district and their preparation and knowledge before starting with the district was thanks to Ms. Maral's curriculum. They were taught with care, patience, understanding and discipline. Aside from caring for the children, Ms. Maral makes extended efforts to build a community for us parents. In this scary world, it comforted my heart to know my children were in a safe place with people who cared and supported them. We miss her and I can't wait to hand her over my third baby when he's ready!

When making the decision to take our son there, my husband and I visited about five or more daycares. Although we were not first-time parents, it would be our first time leaving our third child in a daycare. The minute we walked into Ms. Maral's Academy, it felt right. It was very inviting and organized. She answered all our questions and put us at ease. Bright Steps Academy has been so instrumental for my son's development and learning. He comes home singing the alphabet, the days of the week, the numbers in English and Spanish and tells stories about his daily learning. From the home-made food, healthy snacks, daily kids activities, the librarian coming in to read stories, to potty training and naps and so many more to name a few. Parents are kept informed through an app and one can see pictures of the activities happening on certain days. Ms. Maral, we are forever grateful that we found Bright Steps Academy. You have become part of our family and the hard work that you put into the Academy does not go unnoticed. We wish you continued success and may God bless you, your family and Bright Steps Academy
