My son has been here since since 2.5. He went from learning to write his name to taking spelling test to reading books he's never seen before. But it's not just academics. There is play time, arts and crafts, building friendships, and a fun summer program. Most important, the incredible teachers and staff who genuinely care about the children. We feel lucky to have met you all. Thank you All Seasons read more

Our family has been a part of All Seasons for the past 4 years, and my son just graduated this summer. Looking back, choosing this school was the absolute best decision we could have made for his early education and development! Every single teacher here is exceptionally nice, patient, and genuinely invested in the children's growth. They create such a warm, welcoming environment that my son looked forward to going to school every single day. What we love most about the curriculum is the perfect balance it strikes: Strong Academics & Creativity: They have an impressive academic foundation that fully prepared my son for his next big step into elementary school, but they always keep it full of creativity, imagination, and fun. Endless Activities: The school keeps the kids engaged with a wonderful variety of activities that brought out the best in my son's curiosity. Amazing Care: As a parent, peace of mind is everything. The school safety is top-notch. Plus, it is incredibly convenient that they provide two healthy snacks and a nutritious lunch every day, which my son loved. If you are looking for a safe, nurturing, academic, and creative preschool that feels like family, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. read more

All Seasons Children Learning Center - Class of 2026 graduation ceremony - Elementary Schools Near Me - Arcadia, California

We are so grateful to All Seasons for giving both of our children such a wonderful start in their educational journey.

The teachers are kind, patient, and genuinely care about every child. The school provides a warm, safe, and joyful environment where children can learn, grow, and build confidence. Thank you to the entire All Seasons team for creating such happy memories for our family. We will always cherish our time here and highly recommend this school to other families. read more

All Seasons Children Learning Center - Elementary Schools Near Me - Arcadia, California

I can't recommend All Seasons Children's School enough. Both of my kids attended for TK and kindergarten, and they left with a really strong foundation heading into public school. The school strikes a great balance between fun and education--there's plenty of learning, but also lots of extra activities like dancing, singing, and Halloween celebrations that the kids genuinely love. The teachers are wonderful. We had Miss Sherri, Miss Diana, Miss Tina, and Miss Gabriela, and every one of them clearly cares about their students. The principal, Miss Minerva, is the same way--you can tell the whole staff is invested in the kids' success. On top of all that, their rates are more affordable than Kids' Klub, and in our experience they do a better job educating their students. We've already recommended All Seasons to all our friends and family, and we'll keep doing it. read more

My daughter has graduated from All seasons this June. She has attended it for almost 3 years. The tuition is very reasonable compared to the neighboring schools but with exceptional snack/ lunch meals provided, that is a huge plus. Not to mention my kid has learned so much. We are non-native speakers but my daughter can correct my pronunciation and be able to read English books very well. She also learn sciences and maths. She taught me American holidays and histories. Except for academic learning, the school dedicates all kinds of fun activities to develop your kids in all aspects. This is my best decision ever. Highly recommend it. read more

My oldest daughter joined All Seasons in July 2021, and my younger daughter started in October 2023. I've now been an All Seasons parent for four years, and both of my daughters have absolutely loved their time here. Each year, they've had different teachers as they moved up, and every teacher has been wonderful--experienced, engaging, and genuinely connected with the kids. I appreciate how All Seasons balances strong academics with opportunities for independent play and encourages respect among students. One of the things I value most is the open and consistent communication between teachers and parents--something not all preschools prioritize. The entire staff, especially the director, is incredibly communicative and supportive. There is a waitlist, so be sure to add your child's name as early as possible! read more

This is the best preschool in San Gabriel Valley area! Our child has been coming here since age 3 years old and we couldn't be happier! The school takes only potty trained kids from 2.5 years old to 6 years old (so includes TK and K). Minerva is the director of the school and she is honestly the most organized, enthusiastic and hard working person I've ever met. She puts alot of time and effort planning out events for the school and making sure the kids are stimulated academically. No event is missed and this includes Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Halloween, Book Fairs, and Thanksgiving. Our kids love the teachers and love the whole environment. Hot lunch and snacks are provided daily so parents don't have to worry about packing food although you can bring your kids lunch and snacks if you prefer. We see that the kids have tremendous growth academically and this is visible in both classwork and homework. There are also few random holidays/early dismissal days and the school provides early drop off at 8am and late pick up at 6pm which makes it ideal for working parents. Honestly I can go on and on about how amazing this school is but it literally would fill up a book. The waitlist is long so be prepared to line up early. read more

This school is amazing. They have great academic curriculum and fun environment for the kids. I don't know how they do it. The teachers are so good, patient, loving and invested in kids development. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

All Seasons is one of the best preschools in Arcadia. Our daughter is so fortunate to be a part of this amazing school. From excellent leadership and fantastic teachers to a noteworthy advanced curriculum and healthy hot lunch, this school has it all! Our daughter spent 3 years, and we extremely grateful for the strong education foundation she received. Thank you to the amazing team at All Seasons. We will miss you when we move for 1st grade. read more

The Managing Director is truly an asset to this facility. What may seem like just a daycare to some has become a second home and a true family for us, and soon it will also be the place for our second child. Under her leadership, the center provides an incredible learning environment where the staff are consistently welcoming, caring, and deeply invested in the well-being and development of every child. The staff goes above and beyond to create a safe and fun learning atmosphere. It's more than just a daycare; it's a place where our children thrive. Thank you, Mrs. Minerva, and all the staff @ ALL SEASONS. read more

I am beyond grateful to have my daughters attend All Seasons Children Learning Center!!! I had put my daughters down on the waitlist back in September 2019, knowing that I knew their waitlist would be long. Then COVID came along and became a whirlwind for all of us. Fast forward to November 2020, I reached out to Mrs Potter, the director of All Seasons, to inquire about the waitlist status. She explained that due to COVID, they did have to adjust their enrollment process, so they were only accepting first come first service basis for families seeking immediate placement. It must have been my lucky day to find out that there was space available for both my daughters! Since January 2021, my 2.5 yr old has been in Miss Deanna's class and my 4 yr old is currently attending Ms Tyna's class (Senior Pre-K). Within a month, I could see huge improvements in my daughters' communication skills (definitely enjoy listening to how their day is over dinner!), in their coloring and writing skills, and their reading skills. I was so worried that after almost a whole year of being stuck at home with me, they would've fallen behind, but Miss Deanna and Ms Tyna really helped get them quickly acclimated to the school and up to speed with the curriculum. All Seasons provides morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack. It is such a load off my shoulder for not having to prepare lunch for them! And my daughters love the food! In terms of the CDC regulations, All Seasons is up to speed on that and they abide by all the rules. I feel safe about my daughters being there. Because CDC still wants cohorts to not mix with each other, All Seasons isn't currently offering after school daycare so we do have to pick up by 4pm. I have to applaud All Seasons for making everything so seamless despite the pandemic challenges. Mrs Potter and the teachers are very caring, communicative and understanding. All Seasons staff, you are all truly heroes! Thank you for making it a fun and nurturing learning environment for my daughters. read more

This review is specifically regarding an experience my Wife and I currently have with our daughter's teacher Ms Laura, or known by our daughter as Ms Lolo. Aiko who is almost 4 has been attending All Seasons since Sept 2022 and if we could accurately relay the message she feels about school it would probably be "I hate school, but I love playing" yeah, typical kid. Our experience with Aiko starting and attending school was and is still very difficult at times, we have semi difficulty getting her up, once up she seems excited and okay to go to school, once at school she cry's soooo much, has a small meltdown and holds onto our legs, you get the idea...the first few weeks we thought this is just part of the process, however after 2 months of it and she still was crying we started to worry that this school setting was perhaps not fitting for her. Maybe she was too young, not ready yet, so many scenarios, this is where Ms Laura comes into play. Ms Laura went above and beyond. For beginners she started to recognize the pattern of drop off, the needs and wants Aiko seem to react good and bad too. She gave the extra attention needed for a smooth exchange in the morning with little to no crying, yes it wasn't ever flawless but it went from 0 to 80 easily. She'd do little things like, approach Aiko once we walked in and ask her about her toys, hair, outfit, shoes, anything and everything to help divert our walking away. This alone in itself was great for us as it probably helped fixed anxiety for Aiko as well as us once we left, knowing our daughter wasn't probably sitting in a classroom crying for the next 2 hours. She even figured out why at nap time Aiko would seem to cry, it was because that was her lunch break and a new teacher came in during the nap time, she reassured Aiko she was just going to take her lunch and would be back, obviously she connected that message clearly because Aiko no longer cry's during nap time, or at least that's what she tells us :) Additionally Ms Laura is all Aiko ever talks about when she isn't at school, that tells us she has made a great and lasting impression on our daughter and for that we are forever grateful. Ms Laura is a blessing to this school and our daughter, she is loving, caring, attentive and most importantly a person who seems to love her job, you don't see to much of that nowadays read more

All Seasons Children Learning Center - Elementary Schools Near Me - Arcadia, California

To say All Seasons is a 5 star learning center is an understatement. It is the best thing you can do for your child(ren), and aslo the best gift you can give them without them knowing it. They accept kids from Pre-Kinder, to T-K, and through Kindergarten. If you're fortunate enough to get your kids in there from the beginning, prepare to see your kid grow in so many ways you didn't think possible. At the kindergarten level, the kids are learning about medical terms and spelling words like 'metamorphasis'. I know several adult friends of mine that can't do either. And the classes aren't just about spelling, but about everything around them: animals, mammals, amphibians, insects, reptiles, planets ... the list goes on & on. Basically everything I wish I had the time to teach my kid, they did it and then some. Young kids' minds are like a sponge, and they haven't been told what they're not supposed to learn yet, so whatever is fed to them ... they'll soak it up. And that's the belief of All Seasons. Why limit them when they can achieve so much more? Ms. Guzman is absolutely fantastic. She's an amazing teacher of various topics and a great story teller. Mrs. Potter, the Administrator, has always been friendly, professional, personable and has a way of placing all kids at ease. Every teacher is wonderful as I had many chances to interact with all of them, even the ones that weren't my kid's teacher. I can go on for days about how wonderful this place is, but I'll still feel like I'm leaving something out. So I'll just end by saying this: If you truly care about your kid(s), get them in here! Get them in early, and trust them. It is absolutely worth the time, it is absolutely worth the money. At graduation, you'll look back and know you did a great thing for your child and his or her future. Pro tip: The wait list is long, and for good reason. As soon as your child is born, sign up on the list. But the time they reach 3, there may be a spot for you. read more

I have a 6 yr old and a 3 yr old attending All Season Children's Learning Center ("ASCLC"). Both of my kids absolutely love the teachers and the staffs here. My son is in Ms. Tyna's class, and he absolutely enjoys going to school. Ms. Tyna is an outstanding teacher. She genuinely cares about her students and listens to parent's feedback. My 3 yr-old attends Mrs. Laura's class, and she loves going to her class. My 3 yr-old, similar to many pandemic kids, suffered from lack of social interactions with other kids of her age during Covid, and experiencing speech delay. Within 6 months of attending Mrs. Laura's class, she speaks more and gradually building her confidence with interacting with her classmates. Finally, the staffs at ASCLC are incredible, they are friendly and approachable. All the teachers know all the kids and their parents and grandparents who pick up/drop off kids. I am grateful that the pandemic gave us the opportunity to send our kids to ASCLC. My 6 yr-old just graduated from Kindergarten, I am sad that he is off to another school this coming fall, but grateful that my 3 yr-old has 3 more years at ASCLC. read more

Highly recommend All Seasons Children's Leaning Center to anybody who has a toddler！My daughter started with Mrs Tyna since she was 3.5 years old. She always look forward to go to school since then. Mrs Tyna is extremely kind and always be patient to the kids. I still remember the first day I pick her up from the school,my daughter told me she likes this teacher because she's very nice. She cares about her student in many ways. I've seen my daughter learning important skills during the time she's been at All Seasons. She learn to eat by herself(she wasn't a good eater before) say please and thank you. Mrs Nina always encourages kids to read books in the class. That helps kids build their confidence. I'm surprised how much they can read at the end of the semester. Mrs Minerva is also warm and kind. She's always enthusiastic to her student. My daughter told me Mrs Minerva loves her because she's kind to her and I believe other kids feel the same way. We haven't get a chance to study in other teachers' class. But even though my daughter told me she likes Mrs Sherry because she's funny. And Mrs Tyana always say hi and goodbye to all the parents every single day we drop off and pick up the kids from the school. I cannot say enough good things about Mrs porter who runs this school. She is reliable and always willing to help. She listens to the parents and gives good advise in a child's development. Most of the parent that I know are willing to continue on with this learning center until their child pretty much age out. I'm very happy with all seasons and most importantly,my daughter enjoys going here. You will be amazed by how much your kid will learn if you get a chance to have your kid attend this school!! read more

This is one of the top preschools in the San Gabriel Valley. Both of my kids went here and stayed through kindergarten. There is a long wait list so put your name on that list EARLY. Each of the 6 classrooms has 12 students and 1 wonderful teacher. Since my 8 and 6 year old both went there, we have been at the school for about 5 years total (2017-2022). All of the teachers are amazing, my son's current teacher Mrs Sherri goes above and beyond for her students. She loves to goof off and play with kids. You can tell she really enjoys her job. The best part of the school, the reason we kept our kids there, even when they could have gone to Kindergarten for free at AUSD, is the academic program. These kids are learning about 2 years ahead of their respective age group. Both of my kids could read chapter books and do 2-digit addition/subtraction by the end of their Kindergarten year. The school recently got new owners, which has modernized certain things like sign in, payments, etc. My oldest one's former K teacher, Mrs. Minerva, has now become the director. Even with the transition, you wouldn't notice much of a change since the teachers basically stayed the same. I could not recommend this school more, especially with how advanced and prepared my kids are/were for 1st grade. read more

My first impression when I toured was how fantastic it smelled. (I'm usually hungry and it smells like homecooking in the mornings. Thank you Ms. Laura for making delicious and nutritious food for the kids.) My second impression was the level of cleanliness and the updated restrooms. Our child, like most, came into All Seasons without knowing how to read or write. Our little one learned how to spell words like "recycle" and "Earth" for Earth Day, and "equality" for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The kids are given an opportunity to read a book to their classmates twice a month. Initially, we were concerned that it would be too academically rigorous for such young kids, but their method of teaching really works. The children also learn important social concepts like responsibility, classroom jobs, and how to share and take turns. All Seasons is the best school decision we have made. (We toured many preschools and our kids went to two other ones before we landed at All Seasons.) Every person (director, teacher, cook) who works there give so much to each child. They are all fantastic! Most know all the kids' names (and there are more than 70 kids). The kids learn about and celebrate holidays from all different cultures. When there was the King Tut exhibit, Mrs. Guzman went and brought items into the school to teach the kids about the exhibition. The philosophy of the school is that the kids are not limited in what they can learn even at such a young age. During pick up, our little one is excited to share with us what was learned from Mrs. Guzman, Ms. Tyna, Ms. Sherri, and Ms. Minerva. They learn about science, animals, anatomy, safety, health, seasons, holidays, and cultures. Throughout the year, there are special and memorable days when animals (birds, reptiles, rabbits), a magician, a bubble scientist, and dentists visit the school. The kids are well rounded because of the curriculum and nurturing and encouraging teachers and staff. There are optional enrichment courses like Chinese, speech, and art taught by Mrs. Liu and music taught by Ms. Lina. Both teachers are wonderful, energetic, creative, and give so much to the kids. All Seasons is an exemplary school for so many reasons, but mostly because of the dedication of the directors, teachers, and staff. We are so grateful for all that they give to the children. read more

I going to give this school a one star because Mrs. Guzman has a great personality until Mrs. Potter took over. The school teacher need to be trained, and to be honest. Other reviewers give this school a five stars rating by asking parents to rate them high so we can have some kind better treatment for the children's. I never have the chance to do so until I can see how this school is all about. This school is all about money and doesn't care to take their time to listen and concerns what parents have to say to them. As a teacher it their job description to watch over their students not just expecting them to listen and follow the rules all the time. Kid will be kid. As a teacher you are trained to have patience and expected kid will be a little out of hand sometimes, and especially you have 10 to 12 students to watch over. Teachers must know now how to use words to encourage not negativity word to make the students cry or feel sad. I withdraw my son from this school because Ms. Tyna (which is their best teacher) lie in my face saying my son hurt his fellow classmate. She told Mrs. Potter a different story about my son hurting other classmate which the same night I ask my son what happened that day. Children don't lie. He told me it was a accident. He was just bringing his cot back inside the classroom to put away and accidentally hit the girl on her leg, BUT Ms. Tyna tell a different story saying my son hit her in the head by purpose. This is not the only time she lie to me, but this is the last time I don't want to listen to all her lies, and the school is not doing anything to correct it or find solutions to this problem. Some of their teachers are rude. One of the Asian teacher never smile at you. She always have grumpy face when she look at you. This even more worst. One day Ms. Sherri took away my son paper airplane and toss it into a trash can saying "you being bad today and you did not DESERVE it!!!" She couldn't explain to me what my son did that day for him to do that. Very unprofessional. Make my son cry when I go pick him up. Parents, be careful with all the sales presentation when you do the tour for this school. They will make it sound like heaven and in the end of the day it hell for your kids. ASK IF THE TEACHER HAVE AN DEGREE IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT. It better for the teacher to have the degree better than just a certificates in teaching. Also, on my son last day NO ONE EVEN COME AND SAY GOOD BYE TO MY SON AND NO ONE CARE. Be warn!!! read more

All Seasons is a very organized and professional preschool with a strong academic focus, specifically literacy but they do encompass math, science and all other areas. They have three levels, with two classes in each level, and go through kindergarten. My son went for two years and attended preschool 2 and kindergarten. He came from a play based preschool which did not teach numbers or phonics so I was worried he'd be behind, but he caught up quickly. After two years he went from not being able to read any words to reading children's books unassisted. They balance the rigorous curriculum with fun so the children all seem happy and confident. My son enjoyed learning, made lots of friends and loved attending school. Previously, he did not enjoy going to the play based preschool. I highly recommend this school and feel lucky that we could get in. There is usually a long wait list, so if you are even contemplating it, put your name in. read more

I have two kids here and it has been the best decision we've ever made for them. My oldest kid went from hating school (at another place) to loving it so much that he asks we pick him up later so he can spend more time there. The teachers are all so very caring and wonderful. They are able to deliver a curriculum that is super academically-focused and yet convince the kids that they are having a great time. It isn't easy to accomplish that. We are seriously so fortunate that our kids go here and I am so sad that our oldest just graduated Kinder and now is off to another school. If it were up to me, I would have my kids here forever! read more

Sent both of my kids here and it was one of the best decisions we made to get our kids the academic foundation they needed . Both of my kids had Miss Sherri and we really enjoyed her approach to learning. She truly cares about these children and she kept us informed of their growth throughout the school year. I recommend her to anyone looking to All Seasons. read more

Probably one of the best in the area. The other poor review is all siding to his/her own child. To say "children don't lie" is a major giveaway that the parent is denying the fact that the child may have developmental problems of his/her own. If children don't lie, then who is the liar here? :-) It's easy to tell who is telling the truth here. All the teachers I have encountered are always cordial and always hard working, and trying to give the children what they need to grow into a youngster. I have had two kids at this school over a 6-year span and it has been a pleasure. I have seen trouble makers at this school, but they try to work with them and most have shown improvements. The teachers are great here. Don't let one poor review change your mind. Talk to other parents that have kids at this school and find out for yourself. I feel that the teachers here deserve to have their customers voice for them. read more

I recently revisited All Seasons and even though it has been around 19 years since I first entered the school, and I am consistently amazed by the quality and high standards that the institution holds itself to. Not only has the school upheld the standards of teaching that were implemented when I attended the school- they have consistently added to the curriculum, teaching the children both how to excel academically and also how to be culturally competent in teaching them about current events, Black history month and much more. I still keep in contact with my fellow alumni and we all agree that we could not have accomplished all that we have without the foundation we received from the school and we are graduating or about to graduate from the likes of Harvard, UC Berkeley, and Johns Hopkins. Even though it is preschool and kindergarten curriculum, All Seasons really prepares you for the next step in your education and beyond during the most critical years of a child's life. I really cannot thanks this school enough for helping me to get to where I am today. read more

We have to say All Seasons is the best pre-school in this area and it really doesn't need Yelp to boost its reputation. Many parents tried to put their kids on the waitlist even before the babies were born - it's all words of the mouth! After visiting many other pre-schools, we chose All Seasons with no hesitations. We love all the teachers there, we had experiences with almost all of them between two of my girls over the past 6 years! The teachers are warm and caring. Mrs. Potters and Mrs. Guzman are awesome! My kids had great time at All Seasons! We thank All Seasons provide such great experiences to the kids and it will definitely be missed by us! read more

I love this school especially during circle time. Students learned so much. First, my kids don't get sick from school because hygiene is extremely important so no virus or germs will pass around among the kids. The school is very academic. The teachers are really patient and friendly with the kids. My child learned so much from this school that she is capable of reading level 1 book at age 4. My kids never get hurt as safety is very important so I don't have to worry. Once the child is in the school, you will see those parents for the next three years. The parents are super friendly. As for other schools, you often see different kids and different parents all the times. Please note that the waiting list for this school is approximately 2.5 to 3.0 years. Make sure you submit the application forms when your child is born. read more

As the graduation approaches, we have only a few days left with All Seasons. We would like to say thank you for the wonderful 6 years you have provided us, as a family not just to the kids. I think there were not as many reviews as anticipated because many parents probably feel it really doesn't need the help of marketing. At least that's what I thought in the past 6 years knowing how many children are consistently on the wait list. I can still recall our journey of selecting the childcare center for our little one. As a psychology major with early childhood emphasis, I understand the importance of education for children at young ages. We toured about 10 schools in the area, and All Seasons was our #1 choice no doubt. There were many reasons All Seasons stood out from our selections. The most important ones for us were low teacher turnover rate, strong curriculum, and the cleanness of the facility. Consistency is very critical for children, at the time we enrolled our first child, the teacher who had the least years at the center has been there for 5 years. Compare to most of other centers with 1-3 years retention, this is very amazing. Both of our girls had the same set of teachers - Ms. Deanna, Ms. Tyna, and Ms. Sherri. They have very different personalities, but the care for children are all the same. Not only they developed the children academically, they also guide the kids to be responsible and independent. My kids love all their teachers dearly, the little one even asked me why can't she stay one more year with Ms. Sherri. We love the morning assembly session with Mrs. Guzman, who is very dedicated on the children's education. Kids would come home and share things I can't even answer. Mrs. Potter is the hidden hero. Administrative works can be overwhelming already, but she is also the one changing decorations at main area to reflect the current curriculum/holidays. She will step in to whichever area that needs her assistance. 6 years is a long time, it's too much to cover in one post. I am not saying this place is perfect, and everyone has different expectations and views. I can only said if your focus is to have a good education foundation for your child, learn to respect others and be responsible, and well prepared for elementary school both socially and academically, All Seasons is a good choice. read more

I am a longtime Yelp user but the comment by Liz prompted me to write my first Yelp review. I have 2 children who went to All Seasons and have the pleasure of having Mrs. Sherri as their teacher for 2 years. They are currently 3rd and 7th graders. My children have never experienced anything like what Liz described, her claims are totally out of character with what our family experienced in the 6 years they attended All Seasons. Mrs. Sherri have been a kind, caring and generous teacher to my children. In fact we still visit All Seasons every Christmas to share holiday spirits with them. In addition to Mrs. Sherri, we also had the pleasure of having Mrs. Minerva and Ms. Lina, who are also wonderful teachers, teaching our children. Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Guzman are great educators who provide a great environment for our children grow and thrive. I do not want to let substantiated and baseless claims besmirch the good name and reputation of a great school and a great teacher. As another reviewer commented, Liz should have brought this to the attention of Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Guzman first rather than coming to Yelp and write a review that does not have the necessary information (i.e. date and her grandson's name) for them to investigate her claim. read more

All Season's is a fantastic school where my son attends. He had Ms. Tyna who displayed the most patience I have ever seen in a teacher. She is amazingly sweet and kind and really takes pride in her curriculum and what she is teaching the students. My 3 year old was the youngest in his class and he learned his ABC's, count to 50, add and subtract, and read all in 1 year's time. I was amazed! He is so far advance compared to his peers that attend other schools. My son loves Ms. Tyna even though she is no longer his teacher. Ms. Guzman does the circle time in the morning and Collin learned so many fun songs and educational facts from these circle times. The cutest is his pledge to the flag immediately followed by God Bless America song. Ms. Guzman is also Collin's Spanish teacher and that is one of Collin's favorite classes. We had the pleasure of getting to know all the teachers and they are all loving and sweet. You know it's a good school when your son comes home saying nice things about other teachers in the school that aren't his direct teachers. The Director, Ms. Potter, is very knowledgable about education and is very passionate about her job. She shows love and the utmost care towards all the students and their families. She has always been helpful with any questions we have and gives great suggestions. The school has 2 recess times, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. They have fun events and activities throughout the year which the parents are invited to. If your child attends this school, there is no need to tutoring and Kumon. Your child will be advanced compared to his/her peers in reading and math. Talk to the parents of past students of this school and they will all tell you this is the best school and their kids excelled in school after they graduated from All Seasons. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend this school! read more

Not only that All Seasons has built a strong foundation in academics but also the positive attitude and proper manners for both my daughter and son. Yes, the waiting list is long. My daughter attended different preschools while waiting for a spot at All Seasons. Well, it was worth the wait. Currently my daughter is in 10th grade at Arcadia High with a perfect GPA and received Presidential Awards in middle school. My son is in 3rd grade with reading level of 6th grader, PR range at 95 in his STAR Reading Test (reads at a level greater than 95% of other students nationally in the same grade). When my kids just transferred to All Seasons from other preschool, , it took several months for them to adapt to All Seasons standard. Thanks to All Seasons, now my kids going through their homeworks and studies without much difficulties. I loved Mrs Guzman's Circle Time which introduced the current event/natural disaster, insects/animals, etc. I learnt something new every now and then when my kids shared interesting facts from Circle Time. The place was clean and organized. Embarrassed to admit that sometimes when I pickup my kid late, I always saw Mrs Potter inspecting and cleaning the class. We still visited All Seasons once in a while and became good friends with the faculty. Not to mention that my son missed the hot delicious meals at All Seasons. All the staffs are very polite and caring. Mrs Potter's door is always open if you have any concerns. I believe Mrs Potter or Mrs Guzman will try their best to resolve the issue if you at least gave them a chance instead of posting on a social media. Good luck to theose parents who wish their kids enroll at All Seasons and submit your application when your baby is born. read more

My son goes to this school. The waiting list is long. We put my son's name on the list when he was 5 month old and didn't get in until he is 3 and 1/2 yrs old. The facility is clean, really clean. Less sick days and happier kids! The playground has a nice shade. The programs are Academic centric. There are daily home works, weekly quizzes, and semiannual exams. I think it's better for the kids to pick up the study habit early. read more

My 5-year-old daughter is currently in Mrs. Sherri's kindergarten class.  My daughter tells me that her teacher is funny and that she loves her teacher (I saw her hugging her teacher a few times).  Her teacher is pleasant, energetic, and a good listener.  She always asks if I have any questions or concerns and tells me about my daughter's day. I truly think she loves and enjoys working with children.  My daughter also had Mrs. Nina and Ms. Bonita as her pre-kindergarten teachers and they are caring and kind too. Director Mrs. Guzman's circle times are very informative and she is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Senior director Mrs. Potter is very professional with her daily overview and does a great job in keeping the school clean and organized.  All of the staff in this school are polite and nice. I highly recommend this preschool! read more

We will miss All Seasons!!! My daughters learned a lot from All Seasons! It is an very amazing schooI. We highly recommend this school to our friend and family! Ms Tyna is a really "hard to find" great teacher "A+ teacher". She is very very nice and also beautiful inside and outside!! You might not believe how much my little 4y/o learned from her class. People are amazed how my little one can read and write now!!! Even Math!!! Not just counting number! I believe Ms Tyna had been teaching at All Seasons for many years like most other teachers at All Season! Their teacher turnover rate are very low and their student changing rate are low as well! Most Student usually stay there for at least two to three years!! The only thing is that they have more Holiday (school off) compare to other school, but I think it is ok!!! They really have many good teachers and Ms Guzman is a hard to find teacher too! We love her a lot!!! We will miss All Season!!! Have a great summer vacation!! We will come visit for sure! read more

This is an excellent learning environment for children. The kids are academically challenged and the teachers have their ways in engaging them to learn. The directors ( Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Guzman) work hard every morning to provide a germ free and safe area for the children before they arrive to school. They truly care about the well being of the children. And a warm lunch is served everyday from their own kitchen. Everybody there work together to provide a safe caring school to house your little one. While providing them academic and worldly knowledge. They have truly instilled the mentality of learning without limits to the children. My son attended All Seasons for 4 years. From Ms Deanna to Ms Tyna to Ms Nina and finally to Ms Minerva. They are all great!! Thank you Ms Sherri for helping my son cope during his first week at All Seasons. And all the other times even when he's not in your class! My son has grown to be an independent individual. He speaks for himself and of course is academically enriched. I believe he may have rub some humor off of Ms Minerva! Love it!! "Winner winner chicken dinner" that's what he would chant everyday after school. I don't know how Ms Tyna did it but he started reading when he was 3.5-4. By the time he was starting Kinder, he was able to read chapter books! Thank you for that Ms Nina. Comprehension skills was great after Ms Minerva's class. Hats off to you Ms Minerva! Ms Deanna...thank you for caring for him when he was a baby...monkey age! So glad I signed him up on the waiting list when he was only 9 months old. Best decision ever. Thank you to all the ladies at All Seasons for a great 4 years of experience. Love you all! read more

I LOVE this school. Great faculty and staff. Both of my daughters attended this school and came out reading beyond their academic school levels. Mrs. Guzman and Mrs. Potter are both so wonderful, generous and so caring of all the students and faculty. Their facility is super clean and safety is always practiced so I am so grateful for it. The staff members are great at helping to encourage the students to learn and to understand the foundations for academic success. I have recommended this school to family and friends and their kids are also now attending the school. The kids learn so much academically and socially. Circle time is the best time. Both my daughters had Mrs. Sherri and I am so grateful for all that she and the other teachers did for them to help them thrive and succeed. She always kept the parents aware of any issues that arise. My daughters love coming to school and learning. They always had good things to say about Ms. Sherri and this made it easier as a working mom for me to feel comfortable leaving them all day. Waiting list is super long so sign your kids up as soon as you know you would like them to be in a preschool environment. Take it from a working mom who is meticulous about her daughters academic and social skills, it is worth the wait to have your children attend this school. As for the comment made by Liz L., I too have to disagree with your comments. As a parent, we all know that our kids can act differently in school than at home. The fact that you are writing the review and not the parent is a little concerning. I actually have two big concerns on your comment: 1. I have to agree with R.L. that the best step to getting any problem resolved is to speak with the faculty. That should have been the first step. Mrs. Guzman and Mrs. Potter both have a very open door policy. 2. The fact that you mention that Ms. Minerva was your grandson's 3rd grade teacher is proving to me that you do not have all your evidence in place. The school only teaches up to kindergarten. Are you thinking of a wrong school? Hopefully you will reflect on the harsh accusative words. Hurting the reputation of a very good school and of a very good educator is not the way to address your concerns especially when everything is all circumstantial based on hearsay comments - this is how bad rumors begin... read more

My son is finishing up his last year at this terrific school All Seasons in Arcadia. We are very pleased with the director, faculty. and the environment they set up for my son. My child has thrived academically and personally at All Seasons and we couldn't be happier with our choice to put him here... My son has blossomed both educationally and socially. We love the nurturing and skilled teachers, the respect that parents receive from the school and staff, the way my children is challenged and provided with the homework (math/english) to excel beyond the norm of any other school. Special notes - Ms. Guzman is a terrific individual putting in 100% efforts to have these kids well educated. Matter of fact every time I see Ms. Guzman during the circle times it amazes me with her energy and dedication EVERY SINGLE DAY.I don't recall seeing Ms Guzman being out sick or not energetic self....btw, Ms. Guzman has to be in her 80's and she is bringing her A+ efforts every single day. read more

Very happy with the school. My two nephews are currently enrolled and I could not be more pleased with the care they receive. The program is well thought out and the 4 year old is already reading fluently. I very much disagree with some of the comments posted. I have and would highly recommend the school. The facility is always clean and well taken care of and the staff is top notch. I also have referred several other parents to the school and they are very pleased with the service. My nephew who graduated from the school this summer has tested very high in reading and math and his parents were told he was at a second grade level. My brother is very pleased with the education he received. read more

My daughter is a student at All Seasons and we could not be happier with our choice of preschool/kindergarten for her. It's not a big school, which is great because it really makes you feel like the school is a small community. My daughter loves school and asks everyday if it is a school day. She comes home from school super happy and excited to tell me about her day with her friends. The school focuses on proper manners and academics, both of which are important to me. At 3.5 years old, my daughter has "homework" everyday, but homework only takes about a minute or two to finish, so it's not a great burden. It's more about setting her up to get used to homework and following directions. I agree with the other reviewers and am absolutely shocked by the review left by Liz L. Something is a little off there, because she mentions that her grandson attends 3rd grade at the school, but the school only goes up to kindergarten. Also, it mentions that the grandson is a former student at the school. It's strange that Liz L. would choose to post her review after her grandson has already left the school. If she is concerned for the well being of current students at the school, she should have brought up the incident to Ms. Guzman and Ms. Potter immediately, and not wait until months(?) later. Ms. Sherri is not my daughter's teacher but I know her well. She has always been kind and caring towards my daughter and she is actually one of my daughter's favorite teachers at the school (next to Ms. Deanna, who is her actual teacher). Overall, I feel very lucky that my daughter attends All Seasons and that her little brother will be able to follow in her footsteps in a couple of years. The waitlist is long and there is a good reason for it. read more

In response to Liz L: I'm usually not the kind of person that likes to leave reviews or interfere with other people's businesses. But after reading the recent review that you wrote on one of the educators at All Seasons truly saddens me. Not only all the false accusations on there hurts Ms. Sherri as a person, it also degrades the school as well. As a parent of two children who have studied at All Seasons, I strongly disagree with what you wrote. First of all, all the staff including Ms. Sherri would never wrongfully punish a child using unreasonable methods. Second, having my own child spending two years in Ms. Sherri's class, I have never seen or experience any negative actions from the teacher. Finally, it is absolutely absurd that you would accuse Ms. Sherri selling cars to other parents in order to receive commission. To say the least, my children has excelled not only academically, but also developed strong and confident personalities because of the excellent staff of All Season. All in all, I would encourage that you do not let one single negative personal opinion ruin the reputation of the school as a whole. read more

All Seasons Children Learning Center is a great school that emphasizes on developing a strong academic foundation for all of their students. They encourage children to learn above and beyond what may be required at that level. The school is kept very clean and well organized. All the staff are very nice, caring, courteous and helpful. Since the wait list to All Seasons was quite long, my daughter attended a Montessori school first. It was a struggle every morning to get her to go to the Montessori school. She never wanted to go to school. Now that she is attending All Seasons, her attitude towards school has been very positive. I think the overall environment (school being very clean, bright and organized, and teachers/staff are nice, caring and encouraging) plays a significant role in this positive/constructive change. It is a delight to see how happy she is now. I agree with Eddy S. that Circle Time with Mrs. Guzman is wonderful. She teaches/introduces the children to many amazing facts about science, insects/animals, body parts, and history. They also get to sing, read and have sharing time. My daughter is currently in Ms. Sherri's class. We see a positive difference in her level of confidence as she continues her learning with Ms. Sherri. I think this stems from my daughter feeling the positive encouragement and kindness from Ms Sherri. There was an incident at school where one little girl was being mean to my daughter and Ms Sherri handled it immediately and professionally. She spoke to the girl...explaining to her that it is not nice to be mean or say hurtful things about anyone. Ms Sherri also spoke to the parents of that child the same night and made them aware that such behavior (at school or out of school) is not acceptable. Since she was nice and professional about it, the girls did not have any hard feelings toward each other and are now playing together as well. I also have to say that I respectfully disagree with Liz L about her trying to discredit Ms Sherri as an excellent educator and a fabulous person. My daughter is not perfect. She has told me that she has gotten in trouble for "talking" during nap time. But she has never told me that she was "punished" or "reprimanded" because she was misbehaving during nap time. I truly believe that Liz L. has taken this incident about her grandson overboard or out of context. If she thought the "disciplinary action - writing his name 100x" (if it were in fact true) was too extreme then she should have brought it up (within appropriate time) to Mrs. Potter or Mrs. Guzman. Talk about it and clear it up rather than bringing it up on social media and trying to hurt the reputation of the school and/or the teachers. I do feel sorry for the grandson's future teachers. If he does ever get disciplined for misbehaving, look out...you're getting HELL from his Grandma! Btw, this is my second year at All Seasons . I have to say that I am Quite HURT that Ms Sherri has NOT solicited me with the Honda car sales card. I guess I am not in the "IN" crowd! read more
