Although we raised our son in an asian culture, we do not speak enough mandarin at home. We are amazed on how much mandarin my son understands via speaking, writing, and reading. I didn't think he will pick up much mandarin since we do not speak mandarin at home but we are so amazed on how much he knows. The faculty at Tzu Chi are very nurturing and caring. It's great the class is small so the kids get more attention and care. The school is very safe and they also organized a lot of school activities so we are well connected. My son looks forward in going to school everyday. He goes to the school with smiles and he comes back home with a even bigger smiles. This school has an enriched curriculum and I feel my son learns a lot from this school.

During his time there, we noticed a significant positive change in academic progress. All the teachers were wonderful and treated our child like one of their own. We appreciate everything the staff have done for our child to help him excel. Sorry to see some parents did not have as great of an experience as we did. I want to commend Ms. Gina, Ms. Melissa, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Carmena, Ms. Rene, Ms. Lubana, Ms. Nonye, and anyone I missed...you all are wonderful and will be missed!

My son has been at his new daycare for 2 years now, and I always reflect back at my son's time at…read morethis daycare since this was his first one when he just turned 2 years old. The more time I have spent at my current daycare, I realize how sad I feel when I reflect back on when he was going here. This daycare is not nearly as warm as the daycare where my son spent his last 2 years. I remember when we first dropped off my son at this daycare, he was so scared and would cry a lot from the anxiety of leaving his parents. One of the suggestions that Ms. Toni said was not to carry him into the daycare and let him walk in. I'm not sure if this advise was to maybe make him less scared, but when I think back on that advise and how small my son was back then, it really makes me mad to even think that I took that advise as helpful. At 2 years old, a parent should definitely not feel like they can't carry their scared son into their first daycare. I also remember Ms. Toni commented that my son was constantly wanting to sit on Ms. Kat's lap and that she couldn't have him do that so often. When I see the kids in my current daycare, kids are on the laps of the teachers all the time and all day, especially if they need some comfort since they are showing anxiety being away from their parents. This school was so callous compared to the school that my son is currently at and I remember how scared he always felt when going there, which makes me sad and the reason why I'm writing a 2nd review. I also mentioned in an earlier review that I hated dropping off my son in the morning due to one of the teachers (Ms. Wafaa). She was always so rude to me, which made me worry about my son having to spend the morning with her. I hope she's no longer there, but if she is, she really needs to improve her demeanor. It's always hard to know how bad someplace is until you leave and go someplace else, so I'm glad we only stayed here for one year.

I never imagined a…read more5-year-old could learn about things like the planets in the solar system or grasp basic robotics. But she did, and with so much enthusiasm. The school is incredibly well-organized, and every staff member is warm and welcoming. My daughter felt so loved and supported at Learning Tree. Two weeks ago, she took the English test for the Walnut Unified School District, and the teacher was surprised by how good her handwriting was. I know this is because of the dedication of the teachers who have helped her grow. I want to end my review by sharing a picture she drew in class. It's hanging on our fridge. The drawing shows her teacher smiling as my daughter raises her hand to answer a question. It says, "I love to learn." This picture touches my heart deeply. As an educator myself, nurturing a lifelong love of learning is something I've always hoped to instill in my child. We've already signed her up for the after-school program, and we can't wait to see even more growth at Learning Tree!

She's starting TK in the fall, and we wanted to make sure she was ready--and my goodness, she has learned sooo much in such a short time. We've loved every single staff member and teacher she's interacted with. My daughter is all smiles and laughter at pickup and genuinely looks forward to school every morning. I want to give a special shoutout to Ms. Melissa and Ms. Victoria--they are so kind, engaging, and supportive of all their students. My daughter talks non-stop about how much she loves them! You can tell how much care goes into their lessons, activities, and everything they do. Learning Tree truly has so much to offer. 10/10--can't recommend them enough!

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!

We highly recommend Iruka Yochien Preschool to anyone who is searching for top notch preschool education for their children. (They don't need high cost marketing because their preschool has been growing with a waitlist only by word of mouth. That alone speaks volumes.)

Our son's first language is Japanese and he is able to speak with his grandparents in Japan because these teachers nurtured and cared. The teachers used all their talents to encourage speaking and interaction. He went from shy to talkative, he became helpful and wanted to assist the younger children. It also made my heart happy to find a Christian environment that was gentle and not being forceful about Jesus. Majority of the families who bring their children to Iruka are not Christians but, they were all happy to see a balanced representation of God and Japanese cultural heritage. I am BEYOND grateful to this school, the SDA church and the staff for giving my family comfort and trust with my child.
