The kids not only finish their homework on time, but they also receive extra practice packets to strengthen their learning. The summer camp is reasonably priced and thoughtfully organized, with creative weekly themes that keep the kids engaged. The food provided is nutritious and rotates biweekly, always including protein and fruit. You can tell they care for the children as if they were their own. Mr. Calvin is especially wonderful, he's very responsible, kind, and always willing to help. He communicates clearly and genuinely puts his heart into everything he does. We're so grateful to be part of this program!

Hands down one of the best, if not the best, after school programs in the SGV. This is a…read moregenerational family business with decades of experience in after school care. We like that Mr. Calvin (the school director) pays close attention to children's behavior and the way they talk. I have observed the children who attend the school, and they are all "good kids". Mr. Calvin also encourages healthy snacks which is very important to us. We joined Academicise for a few years now, and there's not a day when homework is not completed. Even when my kid had to miss the program for 1-2 days due to sickness, the homework is always completed by the due date. It is a huge relief for working parents. They also provide extra packages which are slightly higher than the current grade level. Vans with seatbelts are also available for pick up. We are very happy with Academicise. My kid enjoys it a lot too.

I had to write this review after our parent teacher conference at our kids Kindergarten, YPV really…read morehas prepared our kid and more We had our little one come to YPV since he was 2 years old until the end of summer just when he would start kindergarten. YPV has daycare for 2 years old all the way up to Kindergarten themselves. It was very hard for us to have family take care of our kids when we have to work and get home late, they are able to have their teachers there until 6pm latest pick up. When our first oldest went to YPV he was very shy and and scared of people (he was born covid, and we had no one around except ourselves). We had started his potty training but he was not doing well. When we enrolled him to YPV, he cried every day for 3 month's straight while being dropped off to school (it's normal for kids to cry for weeks, but it was understandable for our kid). Note: when your child is enrolled and needs potty training, the tuition is a little more expensive and will decrease back to normal tuition once they are able to use the potty themselves with assistance. They also provide you all the information you need to continue the potty training at home. Gradually he starting babbling much more and being more happy around people with less social anxiety during his first year at YPV. He was able to be potty trained by 3, and would understand using the potty #1 and #2 when he needed it. YPV kept my kiddo engaged and learning the whole time the 3 years he was there. There was never a day I told him, "it was time for school" and he would say he didn't want to go. The teachers there are good and care about the students. They provide lunch and snacks. Shout out to the parents that create goodie bags for their kids bdays, it made my kid really happy and we reciprocated also. They learn how to behave around other kids without being rowdy and we get progress reports of how well they are doing in class academically every quarter. By TK, the kids are already writing some words and can read some basics. I was just at a parent teacher conference at my kid's Public elementary school just yesterday where they were going over their curriculum for kindergarten. Counting up to 100, phonetic reading words, basic sight words, starting addition and subtraction, cutting skills, dexterity drawing coloring.... my kid can do them all already thanks to YPV! But I also have to credit my wife for going over homework with our kid (at TK , YPV teachers start giving some homework to prepare our kid for kindergarten) And you also need to read books with them at home and practice sight words. With what you do at home, and how the teachers help them exceed at school, I'm constantly surprised how much my kid knows. On another note, Summer School at YPV has way more activities and field trips. They have contractors for train rides, science shows, magic shows, puppet shows, petting zoo's, kids train rides, water play with spraying. Last year, if enough kids signed up for tickets, were able to rent out a movie theater to watch Minions. Parents and kids had a chance to experience a movie without the chance of our kids being noisy being a nuisance cause other movie goers and was a good chance to teach them how to behave in this setting. My kid was also really happy to ride an on actual full sized School Bus. There's also a snow day during winter where they bring in a snow machine to make snow in the playground area and the kids can play there for the next day or 2 till it melts. With a small snow slide too. My other kid is almost two and we've already gotten a spot at YPV for her, we're lucky to have such a great place near by.

Thank you to all of the truly amazing, incredibly loving, warm, patient, and friendly teachers and staff. I wish I could name every single one of you because each person played a meaningful role in my little one's growth, development, and confidence. It truly takes a village, and we were fortunate to find one here. What sets Young People's Village apart is the incredible dedication to creating meaningful learning experiences throughout the entire year. From engaging educational activities and enriching field trips and amazing summer school to the highly anticipated Snow Day and the joyful music festivals, every event was thoughtfully planned to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning. The memories created through these experiences will stay with our family for years to come. A special shoutout to the entire staff, with extra special love to Ms. Grace, Ms. Susie, Ms. Meza, Ms. Gracie, Ms. Anna, Ms. Natalie, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Mandy, Ms. Ahn, Ms. Eileen, Ms. Julia, Ms. Irene, Ms. Josie, Ms. Leticia and Ms. Ruby. Thank you for the kindness, patience, encouragement, and genuine love you showed our little one every single day. Each of you contributed in your own unique way to their growth, confidence, and success. And while I'm sure I've unintentionally missed a few names, please charge it to my mind and not my heart. We appreciate and love each and every one of you just the same. The dedication, compassion, and professionalism of the entire team shine through in everything they do. Thank you for creating a place where children feel safe, encouraged, celebrated, and excited to learn every day. Temple City is truly fortunate to have Young People's Village, and our family will always be grateful for the positive impact you've had on our lives. We look forward to seeing all of you again soon. Endless love and gratitude!

They are responsible, professional, and instrumental in the kids' learning progress. They have regular after school programs, summer/winter camps and all the holiday camps with breakfast, lunch and snack provided, which is a huge help for busy parents. They pick up students from Arcadia, Temple City, El Monte, Alhambra, Rosemead, San Gabriel, etc. So the teachers have great resources of what their learning objectives are. The school is at great location and has very big parking lot, which I personally prefer a lot. And they have very clean and well-organized classrooms. Highly recommended!!! 我儿子很喜欢Connected Academy。Mr. Kendrick和所有老师都特别棒，很专业很负责。孩子能进步这么大，真的很感谢他们。 学校有课后班、夏令营冬令营、还有各种节假日的托管，关键是管早饭、午饭和点心！对家长来说太省心省力了。 他们从亚凯迪亚、天普市、艾尔蒙地、阿汉布拉、柔似蜜、圣盖博好多学区接送学生。老师的教学资源非常丰富。 学校位置很好，而且停车场超大----这点我个人很喜欢！每个教室都很干净，而且都是老师们精心布置的，让孩子在这里很放心。 强烈推荐！

I don't love the big fundraiser at the end of the school year, which includes mandatory selling of 150.00 worth of circus tickets, but at least we are not peddling chocolates all year long.

My kid absolutely LOVES Camp Kids Klub. The smaller counselor to child ratio really makes a difference. My child gets the attention and encouragement they deserve, and comes home happy every single day. The biggest sign that they love it? They barely even say goodbye to me at drop off anymore. What has impressed me most is how much thought goes into the program. This is not a camp where the kids are just kept busy until it's time to go home. Every day they come home excited to tell me about what they did, and the activities are fun, engaging, and educational without feeling like school. The staff are kind, attentive, and genuinely seem to care about each child. As a parent, I also appreciate knowing my kid is safe, well cared for, and well fed throughout the day. Finding a camp that your child is genuinely excited to attend every morning is priceless. I feel incredibly lucky we found Camp Kids Klub, and I would recommend it without hesitation to any parent looking for a fun, enriching, and caring summer camp.
