My two oldest have moved on to middle school but always love coming back to pop in and say hi to the ladies when picking up their brother. We will miss catalyst when my son moves up to middle school this summer but are already looking forward to when I can enroll my youngest in their preschool program!

The staff are so attentive and professional. I always felt I could go to them with any questions that I had. I truly feel that sending them here for preschool gave them a great foundation for when they started TK and Kindergarten. Both of them are now in 1st and 3rd grade attending the after school program here. I love their after school program because they get their homework completed and also still do fun activities. I know when I leave my kids here they are safe and taken care of!! And the best part is: THE KIDS LOVE IT HERE!! Thank you Ms. Amanda, Ms. Natalee, Ms. Crystal, and Ms. Sylvia for running such an amazing program!

    My daughter started at this center when she was just 3 months old and is now 4 years old. My son…read morealso started here at 3 months old and is now almost 2. I can confidently say this has been the best decision for our family. The staff is incredibly kind, supportive, and genuinely cares about every child. Ms. Patty, the director, is always informative and welcoming. Ms. Sussy, Ms. Raquel, Ms. Lourdes, and Ms. Gladys played such a special role in raising and caring for my children, and I will always be grateful for the love they showed them. My daughter is now in Ms. Leticia's class, and she is an amazing teacher who continues to help her learn and grow. A special shout-out to Ms. Wendy, the sweetest assistant director, who always goes above and beyond for the families. This center truly became our village and a second home for my children. Knowing they were loved, safe, and well cared for gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend this center to any family looking for quality childcare. You won't be disappointed!

The teachers and directors are really nice. Their summer program is great! They have water day every week at the center and they take the school age kids on field trips. They both really love it and look forward to them weekly! Definitely recommend this daycare!

    The Goddard School in Riverside looks impressive during the tour because the facilities are new,…read moreclean, and polished. Unfortunately, once you scratch beneath the surface, it feels more like a franchise business than a premium early-childhood education program. We were told there was no screen time, but the children were shown YouTube videos, including Danny Go "movement" videos and videos of other people reading books that the school apparently did not have. When I arrived, the video was playing while the teacher stood watching the children. Administration nevertheless insisted this was not screen time. This practice is inconsistent with American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations for toddlers, which emphasize carefully selected, high-quality media accompanied by active adult participation. The director holds an associate degree in early childhood education from Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, and the teachers appear to meet the minimum education required by state licensing. At this price point, however, I expected substantially greater expertise in early childhood development. UC Riverside's Early Childhood Education Center is comparably priced and publicly reports a staff with 20 bachelor's degrees, two master's degrees, and California Child Development Permits. The director at UCR has a PH.d, not just an associates from LA Trade Tech. I was also disappointed by the unhealthy snacks--graham crackers, animal crackers, cheese, and applesauce, with no vegetables unless parents supplied them. Parents were even allowed to bring fast food into the classroom. The daily reports were unreliable: they claimed my child ate most of his food when his lunchbox came home untouched, and they listed learning objectives without explaining how those objectives were actually taught. Do not be distracted by the shiny new building. Ask detailed questions about staff education, screen use, snacks, and how the corporate curriculum is actually implemented in the classroom.

    Our first introduction to school for both of our kiddos. Left the best impression for all of us…read more Staff knows you not only by name but care about your little one individually. Smaller sized classrooms and our kiddos come home excited and ready to share. Their soccer and jungle bus programs are great asset as well. The school overall is amazing and centered on education in the school aspect but also emotional learning and potty training! Staff is amazing and you can see and feel they truly care. 10/10 recommend. Wish they went into grade school I would keep both kiddos there as long a possible.

    We LOVE this awesome preschool. Our daughter has been going here for about 6 months and absolutely…read moreloves all her teachers and classmates. She has been thriving socially and academically. We checked out a few other preschools in the area before coming to Woodcrest Montessori. We knew immediately when we had our walk-thru that this would be the right school for her. We love the cozy, homey-feel of this place and the curriculum they offer. Other preschools felt like facilities and lacked the warmth that we felt here. The teachers are all so sweet and engaged with the kids. We noticed right away how content, well mannered and happy all the children were when we visited. We love the flexibility of their schedule and their prices are totally fair and manageable. I dreaded the day I would need to send my baby off to be cared for by strangers. The peace of mind I have sending her here, knowing the kind of care she is recieving, is invaluable. I am eternally grateful we found this place and appreciate the staff with all of my heart. We are so excited for our second child to be old enough to attend when the time comes.

They are very dedicated to ensuring each child feels comfortable and supported to learn the best they can. My daughter is 5 and she's already reading and writing. I highly recommend this school. Thank you so much for giving my daughter the opportunity to grow, make new friends, and advance in her education with some of the most loving and inspiring teachers. Your school is a real gem and we're so honored to be a part of it.
