I am very disappointed with my experience at Circle City Preschool. The security staff was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. While outside with the children, the security guard was yelling and laughing as the kids began making fun of me. Instead of correcting the children's behavior, he encouraged it by laughing along. I went to the front desk to speak with the principal or a manager to address the situation, but the staff sided with the security guard instead of handling the issue appropriately. The children's behavior was disrespectful, and there was no accountability or guidance from the adults present. This experience was upsetting and concerning. A preschool should model respect, discipline, and positive behavior for children. Based on what I witnessed, I am worried about the environment and values being taught at this school. read more

Circle City Preschool - Child Care & Day Care Near Me - Corona, California

Took a tour and decided against as the open concept of the campus does not seem safe. Homeless lingering right out front and there are no security gates to prevent them from entering the campus. I I quoted about security cameras, however they are fake. I was looking for a safe secure school so that I would feel safe dropping my child off, unfortunately this is not it. read more

This school teaches values you won't get in public school. Mrs. Meier and staff are amazing.

THIS SCHOOL IS A JOKE. There's one person in charge of EVERYTHING - so emails don't get answered until 6 months later. I talked to Kendra on the phone yesterday who told me to come in today for my daughters orientation at 9 AM. I showed up- talked to KENDRA again, and she said "oh no sorry you need to come back at 10:30" okay I take the kids to the parking lot and wait until 10:30. I show up at 10:30 and the teacher says "there's no room in the class for your daughter" Couldn't you have told me that yesterday? OR this morning when I talked to you guys at 9AM!? My daughter is devastated. Don't go here. Don't enroll. You might show up and your kid not even be able to get in. read more

The best little school! What a blessing to have my children go through their preschool program.

Kendra Meier is the person that runs the program she is amazing! The teachers are great. We have sent 4 of our 5 kids to pre-school there. If you're looking for a good preschool for your children to attend in Corona, there isn't a better place than Circle City Preschool. read more

Circle city preschool is an AMAZING preschool. My son, who is now almost 15, went there for 3 years when he was little. My 2 1/2 year old is getting ready to start in January. They are so good at teaching children good socialization skills, which is exactly what preschool is all about. My son was more than ready for kindergarten after going here, and I have no doubt my daughter will also be after attending this preschool. The classes get full and there's always a waiting list. I highly recommend! And for the record, my son is not white. At all. And he was welcomed with loving arms and hearts. Often got leads in the musicals. I used to think the teacher favored him a little. read more

My kids have gone to school at Circle City Preschool for the last 3 years. This school is truly remarkable. This is the best education with the best values at the best price for any preschool in the area. My son has attended school here since age 2.5 and was reading on his own soon after turning 5. My daughter has grown so much since she started attending classes here. They definitely set a high standard of education, while at the same time express compassionate teaching when learning is difficult. I'm so glad my kids have attended school here. The teachers are awesome! This school truly embraces diversity with God's grace. My wife is Hispanic and has always been treated with the utmost respect and kindness by all staff members from day 1. Our kids love this school and they both talk all the time how fantastic their teachers are. My son has Mrs. Romero and he just loves her class. My daughter can't wait to go to Mrs. Miller's class in the morning and also to see her best friend that is African American. They have fall, winter, and spring events that connect the school with the community. The school incorporates learning, kindness and giving into the children's lives. My kids were asked to do chores to collect small amounts of money so they can buy gifts for other less fortunate children. They not only have a quality education but also teach important values that form thoughtful, well-mannered, and caring values in your children. read more

There is no better Preschool program in the city of Corona. I received a tip from a family who had kids 20 years ago that this place was legit. Boy, that was a long time ago, but it's still true today. My son went from the time he was potty trained (3) until he was 5 and ready for kindergarten. This is a Christian school and is reasonably priced. There is a waiting list, so get on it when your kids "almost" ready to go to school. They also have a vacation bible school in the summer...it's a couple weeks and a good intro to the program. There are optional extracurricular activities that will enhance your child's development and it's free. This school is a ministry of First Baptist Church of Corona. read more

My daughter attends preschool in Mrs. Boettger's class & she loves it. Mrs. Meier is always there to greet us with a warm smile. Great introduction to a classroom setting & to prepare her for TK in the Fall, which she will also be attending at CCP. This school was recommended by a friend & I would also recommend. read more

I highly recommend this preschool. My daughter was shy at first, but blossomed throughout the school year, thanks to her teacher Mrs. Redding. The teachers made sure that the preschoolers get the basics of writing, math, reading and more. Every time I picked up my daughter from preschool, she would always say she had a fun time! I have two other friends with kids in different classes and both have said "We love Circle City!" The school provides a safe and fun environment for all kids and families. The director knows which child goes with which parent or family member when pick up time comes. What I also loved is that the school had different events outside of school times to join the school community together. read more

Where do I start....! My daughter, husband, and I LOVE Circle City Preschool.... My daughter absolutely loves going to school. When schools out (example holidays or summer break) she gets sad and so eager to return. When her daddy picks her up from school she immediately starts talking about her day and it continues on when she gets home. We love all the teachers so much. Mrs. Gonzales & Mrs. Lopez are our current teachers which we Love so dearly.. I joke all the time saying I wish they move up in grades so we can have them forever... I dont think that's a possibility but it's okay because we Love Mrs. Angell and Mrs. Roasdo a little nervous with how it works for us next year but I know with their support we will get through it. Again, all the teachers are amazing, sweet, and nurturing to the children. Ms. Meirs has been just as equally amazing. I saw in other reviews that some of the staff is rude. I have never noticed or witnessed anything described like they said. Again, my family and I LOVE Circle City Preschool and hopefully you will to. read more

I am in love with circle city. I found them in December of 2011 after my daughter was born and I was desperately looking for something for my 2.5 year old to do a few days a week. I lucked out and they had an opening for the following month. My son has been attending circle city for 5 months now and absolutely loves it, he even crys on non school days to take him anyway!! In the last few months he's started talking more, becoming more independent and has started becoming more outgoing on the playground! I am so thankful to have stumbled upon this hidden gem! I've also recently found out that many of my mommy friends and neighbors either currently have kids at circle city or have in the past and have NEVER heard a single bad review. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great preschool. read more

The teachers and director at this school are amazing! This school has been an answer to a prayer, as our son (4 years old) has some challenging behaviors. On his worst days they are firm, fair and very loving to him. They have really exceeded my expectations by going above and beyond to encourage him to excel. The teachers really have a heart for these kids and it shows. I love love this school! read more

I absolutely feel so comfortable with the teachers and staff at this school. My daughter started when she was three and my son when he was two. I am so happy with how much they learn and how much they've developed since they've started. The teachers are patient and attentive to their students needs. read more

Went to school here, worked here and currently sending my children here. Kendra Meier the director is a true gem.

I love this school! I love working here and have sent both of my children here. The staff is experienced, honest and kind! After over 50 years, still one of the best in Corona! read more

I had both my kids go there for two years. I was real disappointed with one of the teachers there. All she would do when you would drop off your kid in her class was talk to other parents instead of teaching her class. Her name is Mrs. Tansley and her classroom is the first one to the left on the first floor. I would sometimes forget to take my daughters homework and I would have to take it back. Twenty minutes later this teacher would still be talking to the parent she was talking to when I first dropped off my daughter. It seems like people there including the director Mrs, Meirs along with her right hand person, Mrs. Romero are very rude ladies. They represent the school and sit out in the front when all the parents walk in their children, I guess it's their office. Sometimes I would experience not being greeted, not responding back to me saying good morning, or not saying a your welcome as Mrs. Meirs would release your student from his/her classroom. This is supposed to be a Christian based preschool and it seems like there is a lot of bigotry going around at that school. The atmosphere is horrible as soon as you line up in the mornings to take them into the building. People and the staff with a long miserable look. You could feel the tension. They shouldn't advertise that they are a Christian based school because they are just hypocritical. It seems that if you are not Caucasian, you are not fully accepted. It was a horrible experience for me and I couldn't wait for my kids to be done with their schooling there. Every morning I would dread driving there. I still don't know why they are in business. The pastor and his wife were also very hypocritical. When you'd smile at them they would always have a stern look and would never smile back. The wife looked completely miserable. I think she was going to start teaching in one of the classes from the year 2015/2016 school year. Thank God I didn't take my kids for that year because they were going to go to a different school here in Corona. It's a shame how this school makes so much money but than again act like beasts that don't have any manners and are rude. read more

Hands down, best preschool in the city of Corona! Their motto is to let the kids get "down and dirty"! Send them in play clothes because they a hands on, learning by doing preschool. The Director is amazing, and knows all the parents and children by name- in the whole school! read more

This is the best pre school both my kids loved going there. The teachers are awesome and the director is the best. I love the schedule 3 year olds go twice a week for about 3 hrs then when they are in the 4 year old class they go 3 times a week. I liked slowly easing them into a school environment. They also have pre- k that goes 5 days a week but we didn't need that. There prices are good esp for bible camp which my kids love and still go to. I love the concept of learning through play and that is what this place is about. Don't get me wrong my children were more than ready for kinder CCP just made it fun. read more

No preschool can top this one! Hands down the best preschool anywhere! The staff is amazing. It became family there. I am so proud and happy to say my daughter went here. I will never find another school like it again. My daughter was beyond happy there and we are forever grateful for the memories they have created with her!!! read more
