From Ms.Tamiya (preschool teacher) teaching my littles how to be kind and respectful, to Mrs. Reham and Ms.Nicole (TK teachers) preparing them for elementary school. Their teaching techniques are really approachable and engaging. So much so, that our oldest placed high in her entrance evaluation and was placed in the kindergarten/1st grade combo class because of how well these amazing teachers prepared her to succeed. If your looking for a safe, loving, and successful school where your child AND family can thrive, TLC is the best route. Ms.Blanca (site director) values her staff and the families she closely works with.

Mrs Tamiya and Miss Selina are also really good teachers that helped my son come out of his shell. They all love what they do and have amazing patience and experience.

Definitely recons and the price is reasonable and affordable.

We are so grateful to have found and be a part of the MAOD community!…read more Where to begin with my review- I'll start from the beginning, after touring several pre-schools in the area, my husband and I were convinced MAOD would be the best choice for our daughter. From the very beginning when inquiring about information on enrollment and space we were always greeted courteously and warmly by the school's administrator, Veronica. Setting up our initial tour of the school was easy and we appreciated that we got a tour from one of the teachers who would be working with our 4 year old, so it was nice getting to know her a bit and asking her questions. During the tour, it was great being able to see all aspects of the school not just the areas assigned to their pre-k students but also where the infant area is, the kitchen where lunches/snacks are prepped the restrooms, playground, classrooms- everything! We also had the opportunity to ask questions about the schools teaching methods, curriculum, and experience of the teachers with Montessori so upon all of this, my husband and I made the decision to enroll our little one at MAOD. After 5-6 months of enrollment, we really are very satisfied in having brought our daughter here. It wasn't a smooth transition, there were days/weeks with lots of tears at drop off, but her teachers were patient and flexible with her needs, and I am happy to say she is doing great now. We love that the classes are small and there are two teachers per pre-k class. As parents we get a monthly newsletter with what's to come for the month and I always look forward to seeing her interpretations of different artists for "artist of the month" and hearing from her what she learned in school everyday. Most of the teachers are bilingual so it was a huge plus for us as our daughter is primarily a Spanish speaker which brings me to my next huge plus- in a matter of just a few months her English has improved significantly! We are amazed at how much English she speaks now compared to when she started. One of the other big pluses about MAOD is their incorporation of Montessori principles and we always love seeing when the kids are learning by doing. Her teachers, Ms. Patty and Ms. Sinttia are truly wonderful! They both have their special way of connecting and nurturing each student based on their needs, we truly appreciated how they each adapted to our daughter's needs as she transitioned into school full time. My daughter loves them both and won't stop talking about them at home. The app the school uses to communicate with parents is great too, I love that teachers update with pictures and important announcements consistently. Overall, we would definitely recommend MAOD to anyone looking to enroll their child in a ECE program. So much so that we will definitely be bringing our little one here when they are old enough to enroll in the future. I hope this review will encourage other potential families to check out MAOD, as we believe that it is a truly nurturing and caring environment for little ones as they begin their early childhood education. Thank you, Ms Veronica, Ms. Patty, Ms. Sinttia, and all the teachers and staff who have made this experience wonderful!

I was a little nervous about the transition at first, but the teachers are so kind and caring that it quickly put me at ease. My daughter had been struggling with her speech very early on, and since moving into this next age group she has continued to blossom even more. All of the teachers genuinely care, you can truly feel it, and it shows in the kids. Even though she is still new to the school setting, her transition into the new class was very smooth. Ms. Ale also incorporates home projects, which I really appreciate. As busy parents, it's a nice reminder to pause and spend quality one-on-one time with our little ones, nurturing their creativity and helping them grow. We've really enjoyed the first two projects and I'm grateful for the opportunity to slow down and focus on that special time together.

I don't know what we would do without Eden Care Center. Our child needs nursing care, and no…read moreregular daycare could take them, which was so stressful for us as parents. But then we found Eden, and it's been a total game-changer. They've helped us out so much, especially in times when we really needed extra support. The staff is not just amazing at what they do, but they also really care about the kids, their well-being and development, as well as their families. It feels good knowing our child is in a safe place where they get the care they need to grow and thrive. Honestly, they've been a lifesaver for our family. If you're in a similar situation and need a place that truly understands, provides qualified nursing care and supports your child's needs, Eden Care Center is the place to go. We're so grateful for everything they do!

However, I would not call CPS on a family knowing that the child got hurt under my care. My foster son got hurt under Eden's care and CPS was called saying that he arrived to the center with a cut on his toe. They were not looking out for my son's well being, they were covering themselves. This call inflicted trauma on my children, a tremendous amount of stress on us, it delayed the adoption date and it wasted a lot of our time having to take the baby to the HUB, dealing with the cops, speaking to social workers, the attorney and so on. So no, Eden does not have the children's best interest at heart, they look out for themselves. At least in our case. If Eden is obligated to report any injuries, why didn't you guys report that he got that cut under your care?? Why not be transparent with us? I know for a fact that Eden admitted to the CPS workers investigating the case that my son got that cut under the center's watch. You're saying that he didn't get hurt while with you but the director confirmed it to the social worker and it is written on the report. Also, you had nothing to say about my son not being fed all day on one occasion, he cannot speak and neither can't most of these children. I just want people to know our experience. Maybe some people have had a different experience but this was just ours. I just urge everyone to really do their research as I don't want another family to go through the hell that we went through.
