    I love love love this school! My two girls have been coming here since they were 2 and 3 years old and now they will soon be 4 and 5! I have no complaints the teachers here are just so great! My girls have learned so much since and and love it there. I'll recommend this school to anyone! They truly care for the kids. Wish they took younger then 18 months so I can start my son but I will definitely wait 14 months so I can finally enroll him

She creates a warm and welcoming environment where my girls feel safe and supported. One thing we especially appreciate is her excellent communication with us. Ms. Ana is very responsive through WeChat; she provides us peace of mind when we have any questions regarding our kids. Ms Shiela was excellent in introducing both my daughters to writing/math/reading at the beginning of the year. She was able to identify different needs for each of my daughters and created a plan for us to follow at home to reinforce what was being taught at school. The time I had with Ms Shiela in the teacher parent meetings showed me that she really cared about her students and treated them as if they were her own. I am so impressed with my daughters' growth throughout the year; seeing the work they did in class and also the activities they have and are doing now at home is just amazing. We are so grateful to have had Ms. Ana and Ms. Shiela take care of and teach our kids. Ms Ana and Ms Shiela's kindness, patience, and dedication are qualities that every parent hopes to encounter on the first day of school.

Ms. Haley is the teacher who helped my daughter achieve a breakthrough in learning her letter sounds and number fundamentals. She is energetic, creative, and makes learning so much fun that even my husband and I wish we could be students in her class! She has a special gift for challenging each child while supporting them in their own unique way. Homework became a positive part of our routine because she always made sure my daughter was learning, growing, and being appropriately challenged. Her curriculum and classroom activities are engaging, thoughtful, and fun. Simply put, she is truly one of the best teachers we have ever met. Ms. Emily is the most patient and loving teacher. She has such a gentle and effective way of teaching discipline, manners, and positive behavior. Rather than simply telling children what not to do, she helps them understand right from wrong in a caring and respectful way. Her kindness and creativity shine through in everything she does. Ms. Andrea has left a lasting impression on our family. Thanks to her, our household will forever know how to sing the table manners song! She has a wonderful ability to turn lessons and nursery rhymes into daily habits that children can carry with them beyond the classroom. Together, these teachers create the perfect balance of nurturing, encouragement, structure, and learning. They have built an environment where children can thrive and grow at their own pace while feeling loved and supported every step of the way. We will miss them so much and already look forward to our second child having the opportunity to learn from them one day. We also cannot forget Room 2 and the amazing Ms. Cecilia, Ms. Ellie, and Ms. Griselda. They were my daughter's very first teachers and helped her learn boundaries, social skills, and independence while showering her with love and care. Anyone who works with two-year-olds deserves special recognition, and these teachers have endless patience and dedication. They are simply the best. We also cannot forget about Ms Reyna! She was the one providing comfort to during her first few weeks of transitioning. Our daughter has truly thrived here and has learned so much. We are incredibly grateful for all of these wonderful teachers and the impact they have had on our family. You simply can't go wrong with any of them!

    A Preschool Filled with Heart and Faith!…read more Kid Junction has truly been such a blessing to our family. Our oldest daughter started here when she was just two and a half, and now our second daughter has gone through the same journey -- and we're already excited to send our youngest soon! What makes Kid Junction so special is the people. Every teacher pours so much love, time, and intention into the kids. They create fun, hands-on activities, celebrate holidays with so much joy, and keep parents updated every step of the way. You can tell this is a place where faith and care guide everything they do. Both of our girls had Miss Sandy, who is truly the best person to care for 2-year-olds -- patient, nurturing, and full of joy. Then they had Miss Susan, who is the sweetest! She helps build confidence in each child and makes every day special (my daughter loves when she pulls out her spray bottle and hair ties to give her a cute little hairstyle!). We also adore Miss Eileen, who does a wonderful job preparing the kids for Kinder she's a TK teacher -- she's caring, creative, and the children can't wait to be in her class. And Miss Belinda made those early toddler days so special with fun morning activities that set the tone for a happy day. We loved it so much that we decided to keep our daughters here for TK instead of going to elementary because we knew they would get the care and elevated education prior to going to Kinder. My daughters assessment going into kindergarten, she scored very high on the skills for this grade. It was an easy transition and she thought kinder was too easy she kept asking for more hw!! And holding it all together is Miss Clara, director -- she has the most tender heart and genuine love for children. We've known her for five years now, and her care shines through in everything she does -- her communication, the way she supports the teachers, and the way she continues to check in and send us updates. Overall I'm always blown away how clean everything is! So organized and clean which demonstrates the teachers diligence in providing a safe and modeled classroom. We are so thankful for Kid Junction. It's more than just a preschool -- it's a loving, faith-filled community that feels like family.

Thank you to Ms. Sandy, Ms. Belinda, Ms. Susan and Ms. Aileen for more recently helping guide our littlest one through his preschool days. And of course, a special thanks to Mrs. Clara for everything over the years: classroom activity updates, smiling photos of the kids after challenging dropoffs, navigating in and out of a pandemic, and all the special stories about our kids that truly showed the efforts made to get to know our children. Whenever we drive past KJ, only fond memories and joy will come to mind, and immense gratitude that our kids had an incredible environment to learn and thrive.

The environment is open, airy, and inviting, creating a nice and comfortable space for the children. One of the things we appreciate most is how flexible, understanding, and accommodating the staff are. They care about each child and family, and it shows in every small interaction. Ms. Ariel is especially wonderful--she is incredibly sweet, caring, and has such a natural way with the children. She made my toddler feel safe and at home right away! The entire team is delightful and they create a positive atmosphere that makes everything feel pleasant and easy. We are grateful to be part of the Creekside Montessori community and highly recommend it to any family looking for a preschool!

We have Ms. Lily as our room teacher who is the BEST! She is warm, patient, and truly care about each child.

It feels like a second home, and we're so grateful for the love and care they show every day.

My daughter has so many sweet memories--from the daily classroom activities to the exciting summer events like the petting zoo and hula dancing. Honestly, I'm not sure who looked forward to those more--her or me! I really appreciate that the school is tucked away from busy streets, with private playgrounds that feel safe and secure. The whole campus is always very clean and well-organized, which speaks volumes about how much they care. One of the things I've valued the most is the daily communication. For three years straight, I received updates on how my daughter was doing--whether she napped, how much she ate, and even little notes if her behavior changed. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing her teachers were so attentive and proactive. I'm truly grateful for all the love, patience, and guidance the Montessori of Walnut staff has given our family. It's a special place that we'll always hold close to our hearts.

Her dedication has made such a positive impact on our family. One thing we especially love is the little library they have on site, where kids can check out books. It's a great way to encourage reading and independence. Most importantly, my child is genuinely happy here, and as a parent, that means everything. The environment is nurturing, structured, and full of learning opportunities. I highly recommend Montessori of Walnut to any family looking for a great early education.

I say this all the time, this school quite literally saved my son Long story short, I originally sent my son to a preschool that was highly recommended by many of my students' parents over the years. However, with staff changes during Covid, my experience there was less than pleasant and it took a hard toll on my son's confidence. He was always afraid to express himself, make eye contact with the teacher, and wasn't himself.. I came to WUMP desperately trying to find another school to switch him out to (which was also highly recommended by some friends). Hearing about my son's current situation Miss Yonni (the director) did everything in her power to get me over to WUMP as soon as possible. My son was greeted here with SO much love and reassurance-- from the first day to graduation he had the most loving teachers ever. He regained his confidence again, felt comfortable to open up, and just blossomed here. I owe so much of who he is today to this wonderful preschool and I'm forever indebted to them My second child is currently finishing her final year here and I'm beyond sad she will be leaving! Between both my kids, they have had the best experience in almost all of the teachers' classes here. They love my children like their own and are so good at what they do! I'm an educator myself for many years, so I can confidently say that the teachers at WUMP are truly top of the line. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! My son went into public school kinder and was well above the level of proficiency expected for a kindergartner! There's a reason why this preschool is always recommended so strongly by word-of-mouth from parent to parent. WUMP is a neighborhood gem that I will continue to recommend to anyone who asks me for a preschool recommendation.

    We are very happy with this preschool. My daughter transferred here, and since starting she has…read morebeen so happy every day when I pick her up. That alone tells me a lot about how comfortable and cared for she feels at school. The class size is small, which allows the teachers to give each child plenty of attention. The teachers are incredibly loving and thoughtful. One thing that always makes me smile is that almost every day when my daughter comes home, she has a different hairstyle -- the teacher braids her hair after nap time. It's such a small gesture, but it shows how much they care about the children. She has stayed healthy, learned many songs, and has also been learning good manners. The school also offers dancing and exercise classes, which helps the kids stay active and engaged. Overall, we are very grateful for the caring environment and would definitely recommend this preschool to other families.

He is more willing to go out of his comfort zone to try new things and activities. When I pick him up from school, he will always tell me that it was fun! The teachers and staff here are all patient and caring. I really love that Ms. Tina, my son's teacher, goes above and beyond the curriculum to give her students an academic and musical head start with plenty of hands on activities. Sometimes my son will sing new songs at home and try to teach me the songs he learned from school. Another day I was reading a book to him and he suddenly pointed out that he also learned about the Eiffel Tower in class! The only problem now is that he is asking to see the real Eiffel Tower in person hahaha~ It's amazing that the teachers are able to expose students to all walks of life at such a young age using science, arts and crafts, and storytime. I highly recommend Little Seed for those who care about their children being well rounded, academically and emotionally. It's a bilingual program with English in the mornings and Mandarin in the afternoons. The school provides nutritious lunch meals all freshly cooked in house and uses brightwheel app so parents can see the daily activities their children do. They teach their students not just the ABCs, but also good habits, manners, and in general awareness of the world around them. Overall, I am grateful for the teachers who have given my son the time to break down his walls and finally feel calm and content in a warm and kind environment.

The teachers here are incredibly professional, passionate about early education, patient, kind, and genuinely caring. You can truly feel their dedication in the way they guide and nurture each child. It's a bilingual environment where children learn both Chinese and English through play, music, and daily routines. Our younger daughter comes home singing new songs and using words in both languages. It's amazing to see how language is integrated so naturally into fun activities, allowing the kids to absorb it effortlessly. The classrooms are well-organized. We see joy and growth in our daughter every single day socially, emotionally, and academically. We highly recommend Little Seed to any family looking for a loving, bilingual early childhood education. And when it's time to move on to elementary school, their sister school, Kingdom Seed Academy in Diamond Bar, is absolutely worth checking out. It's just as amazing!
