I know this school is going to close down soon, but I've been meaning to write this for a while. My daughter has been going here for a couple years and we love it. Ms Robin, Ms Tatiana, Ms Roxanne, and Ms Pegi are all wonderful! My daughter has grown so much here and we're grateful for the friends and memories she's made. From Christmas shows to Halloween parades to water days to letter themed weeks and more .. it's been great! We are so very sad they're closing down, but we're so blessed for the time we've had here. Thank you Calvary Cross for getting her ready for TK and for everything you've done for her! read more

This school is amazing. My son has learned so much this school year. The teachers are so loving and patient with the kids. I was nervous about sending my son to school with strangers but they have quickly become family. They have great family activities like a costume parade for Halloween, Thanksgiving feast all family is invited for, Christmas show put on by the kids. They even allowed us to have spiderman visit the kids for our sons birthday. Ms Robin works really hard to make sure the school is a great environment for the children. I'm so glad I found her and Calvary Cross Chapel Preschool. read more

Loved this school! My Son attended here for pre-school and I honestly wish I would have brought him here sooner! The teachers are so patient and loving with the kids. The amount of projects and school functions for the kids are amazing! The Christmas show the kids put on simply melted my heart to see my Son with all the kids performing was the cutest thing in the world. I was honestly sad to leave this school and so was my Son. Thank you thank you thank you! Can't even begin to show my gratitude to all the staff for how amazing they are here. I wouldn't hesitate to take my kid here. It's the best, my Son didn't even want to leave when I picked him up lol. read more

I had been looking for a school for my toddler for about a year before I found Calvary Cross Chapel Preschool and I am sooooooo glad I did. It has such a great vibe about it. The teachers genuinely love on the kids and are so patient with my temperamental 2 year old. They have fun activities throughout the year like: holiday play, Thanksgiving family feast, egg hung, trunk or treat, themed days with special treats, ambulance/firetruck visits.... The list goes on and on and on. They also were extremely reasonable on pricing. I cant afford $300 a week for preschool like some places charge. I can afford to send both my kids here and get some work done with a clear conscious knowing they are being cared for and loved all day by Miss Robin and crew. I also love the fun incorporated into "school." I want my kids to get some scholastics but mainly play, play, play! And trust me when I say, both my kids look like they had an awesome day at pick up time by the level of dirt all over their faces. Highly recommend!! read more

This is my second review I have ever written on Yelp, even though I use Yelp alot. I usually dont write reviews but wanted to write one because I wanted people to hear my 2 cents. I have a few friends that have asked about my children's preschools and where to send their kids. What more can I say about this school, the school and all staff are amazing. All the teachers are loving and caring about the kids well being, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Discipline is taught when needed but always followed by a praise to lift child's spirit up. My children always come home and tell me this happened today, because I did this, but I wont do that anymore because of that. All of my kids learned amazing manners, "yes, please, thank you" and always praying for their blessings like food, family, friends, and what has god/jesus have done for them. Teachers always reassure the parents when needed. If my kids have a bad morning at drop off I always get a text and picture telling me they are doing much better. My 6 year old is now in 1st grade, but when tested for kindergarten he scored with flying colors. All of the teachers prepare your kids for elementary school and gives report in what areas needs help. I have a 3 and 4 year old that attend Calvary Cross at this time and they love school. At pick up time my 6 year old always wants to come along to see his old teachers. I read such a negative review in the comments and was applaud that someone would say such a thing. This is my 4th year watching Calvary Cross Chapel Preschool Christmas performance. I can't tell you how hard these teachers and kids work for this program to turn out the way it does. My kids start singing Christmas songs around Halloween. The first year my first child cried and was screaming at the top of his lungs, the teachers were so comforting. Telling him to look at Ms. Robin (the director) only and not everyone else so he wouldn't be embarrassed or scared. Years following, all my kids did amazing. Yes some kids get embarrassed and cry, others are happy and hog the microphone, but no matter what they are comforted when they are off stage and praised. This year I came extra early to sit in the front row to get the best view in the house, not once did I notice that Ms. Robin was being rude. There was also a parent that squeezed in next to me and and Ms. Robin to record her child back and fourth from her seat to the front row and Ms Robin was more than happy to make room for her. All the teachers make sure the show runs smoothly so kids follow a timely matter for the program. Teachers and kids work so hard for this performance so to the person @ Mike F.. that made such a rude comment, I was very upset. You are not around the school and teacher much and to make a comment like that is very unfair. All in all, I love this school. Tuition is amazing. Summer school/ camp is amazing. Ms. Robin leads the whole group of kids every morning. She is the director, she doesnt sit behind the desk but is very involved with the kids. My kids have had Ms.Trisha and Ms Dolly, they are outstanding. But Ms. Roxanne, Ms. Tatiana, Ms.Pegi, and Ms. Nicole are wonderful as well. I have gotten to know all the teachers and they are like family to us. I am a nurse and so is my husband, we are very concerned very in turned with children's education. Calvary Cross has done an amazing job with our children and would reccomend this school to all parents. Hands down. read more

This school is amazing. I first started looking for a preK for my daughter when she was 3.5yo. She became bored at the babysitters place with no other kids around besides her brother (he was an infant). So, I knew she needed more child interaction and develop more social skills. I searched and searched online on schools in the area (via Yelp so I can read reviews) and this place stood out. It's convenient and my daughter loved it as soon as we came for a tour (with Ms Robin). She is now 7. Now, I have my second child, my son, whom also started at age 3.5yo. He has same teacher as his big sister, Ms Trisha. Yes this place, like most preschools, need to have kids potty trained. Yes, bring a bag of extra clothes for accidents. Bring your own lunch. Academics are on point with the curriculum. Teachers are great with the kids. I talk about this school to many people. Which I actually referred a few families here and they love it. (Wonder if I get a referral fee? Lol). read more

My daughter attended CCC Preschool for Pre-K 2016-2017 for a whole year full time. This school has been around for 40 years. Each of the teachers have been there for so many years and I am very empressed. I have nothing but good things to say. My daughter had Ms. Roxanne and she is very sweet & caring. My daughter learned a lot to prepare her for Kinder. They also have chapel & the kids get to learn prayers and about God. I can say she is all ready for kinder. She learned to identify the alphabet, numbers, colors, and write her first & last name. Each class is equipped with airconditon. There's a fridge & microwave for the kids lunches. You have to pack your own lunches. Snacks are provided by the school. Nap time you bring your own pillow & blankets. The school provides the nap pad. They have plenty of toys for the kids to play with and a huge playground. Tuition is VERY reasonable and they are flexible on how to pay. Christmas time the kids have a really cute show. The graduation progam was super adorable. The last week of school the graduating class had a week long of special events to celebrate. Picnic, movies, Chuck E Cheese, party with a jumper at school. My daughter told me at graduation she started to get sad & cried a little.. And I asked her why and she said "I dont want to graduate because I don't want to leave CCC, my friends, and teachers... I'm going to miss them" When a child doesn't want to leave... That just tells you how much they love it. I left in tears picking up my daughter on her last day of school because you can see how much her teacher & the other teachers cares for their kids. It just warms my heart. All the teachers know all the kids names in all the other classes... They are all sincere and have your kids best interest. read more

This is a wonderful Preschool. Our son has gone here for the last two years. It is an affordable and wonderful Preschool. The staff is very carinng and loving. The kids participate in learning about the chapel, cooking, singing,dancing, learning, writing, sports class, technology activities, etc. They have companies come in to read to the kids or do activities with them. The atmosphere is very clean and pleasant. We have been so happy with the Preschool and Staff. Our son has learned a lot and will be ready for Kindergarten. He truly loves going to Calvary Cross Preschool everyday. read more

I went here about 35 years ago! Yeah, the 80s were cool here. I grew up right around the corner. My grandparents would drop me off early in the morning, on there way to McDonnell Douglas (if any of you Long Beach folk remember that place), and us kids would watch cartoons and eat breakfast. School, nap time, play time, and home. It was great. Summertime, plenty of field trip adventures all over LA. Parks, museums, stadium tours, fairs, etc. Heck, Miss Robin was there then, and now she is the director, which shows you that they value loyalty and continuity. They didn't push the religious aspect of it all, they just wanted to take care of the kids, and give them a good start on their education and let them have a little fun. Nothing but fond memories. If I lived closer, I would have my kids there in a heartbeat. read more

My Son has been going to this PreSchool since February 2013 and I can't say enough good things about them. The teacher's are GREAT as well as the Director. My son's teacher Mr. Shannon is so caring and works so well with the children. When my Son starts kindergarten next year I'm going to have him come to Calvary's after school program, they are the BEST! read more

Awesome teachers. Nice & clean classrooms. I like how they have about 5 different class rooms & they separate the kids by age range. My daughter loves the playground. Very big, clean & with lots of stuff to play with. read more

The second year for my daughter was a little tough but she got through it with the help of her teachers and classmates. The teachers seem to be very good with the kids although I never got a chance to build a relationship with the teacher anytime I called her for anything she was very helpful and informative. My daughter is so sad to leave to TK and one thing I know my daughter is going to remember for the rest of her life is the prayer CCC taught her before meal time. I am forever grateful for this preschool. Miss Robyn is a sweetheart! read more

Today is my sons last day there. He has been going to this school for 2 years now. I remember I was so nervous bringing him on his first day, now I am so sad to leave. I only wish they offered kindergarten. I love this school. They are very reasonably priced and the teachers truly love their students. They have help mold and shape my sweet little baby into an amazing little boy. I highly recommend his school. read more

My 4 children have attended Calvary cross Preschool. I was very happy when my older 3 children were here at this school, (the last one here 8 years ago)until however things have changed. Seems as though now that the pastor who is very old is no longer involved, the staff has gotten lazy and grumpy. My youngest started here the end of November 2016 and was fully potty trained. She was having accidents at school, even pooping her pants 1 day, just so she could leave school . When the director called me to tell me that she had pooped her pants. ( in a very angry tone) I was told that I needed to leave my job or find someone to go to the school and change her. Being I was at least 30 mins away, she was going to leave my daughter like that. Mind you she had a full set of extra clothes at school. These teacher are all lazy, they sit at a table talking and eating and never interact with the children. When they have outside time or indoor free time. The only teacher that is still amazing is Ms Dolly. My daughter has been in a new school for over a month, not a single accident and she is a totally different kid. Also, most of the reviews on this yelp page are from teachers there giving themselves 5 stars! The teachers here are mean and nasty, seems like they all personal issues they are dealing with and take it out on the kids. The grumpy director needs to retire! read more
