From the moment we joined the school, we felt welcomed, supported, and confident that Ellie was in a caring and nurturing environment. The teachers and staff at Acacia Montessori are exceptional. They are kind, patient, and genuinely invested in each child's growth and well-being. In the Dragonfly class, the teachers create a calm, positive, and engaging space where children feel safe to explore, learn, and express themselves. Ellie looks forward to school every day, which speaks volumes about how comfortable and happy she feels there. Academically and developmentally, Ellie has grown so much since attending Acacia Montessori. The Montessori approach encourages independence, confidence, and a love of learning, and it has been amazing to see these qualities develop in her at such a young age. She is learning important skills while also being encouraged to be curious, respectful, and kind to others. Communication with the school has been excellent. The staff keeps parents well-informed and is always approachable and supportive. It truly feels like a partnership, with everyone working together to ensure the best experience for the children. The overall environment at Acacia Montessori School is warm, welcoming, and well-organized. It feels like a community rather than just a school. Knowing that Ellie is cared for, understood, and encouraged every day gives me so much peace of mind as a parent. I am incredibly grateful to Acacia Montessori School and the Dragonfly class teachers for the love, dedication, and effort they put into nurturing young minds. I would highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a high-quality, caring, and enriching early childhood education. Acacia Montessori has truly been a second home for Ellie, and we feel very lucky to be part of this school community.

Today is a bittersweet day as it is my daughter's last day at KinderCare Covina before she begins…read moreher journey to kindergarten. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible teachers who have played such a vital role in shaping who my baby is today. My daughter started here just a week after her 2nd birthday, where she joined the 2-3 year old class. She was welcomed with warmth, patience, and love by Ms. Sandy and Ms. Monica who are absolute gems; Always nurturing, consistent, and full of energy & patience. They created such a happy and safe space where my baby could explore, play, and build confidence. Their ability to balance structure with creativity made her early learning experiences both educational and fun. I will always appreciate how much they cared for her and helped her develop those early social-emotional and classroom-readiness skills. It was in Mrs. Rani's Pre-K & TK class where everything came together in the most extraordinary way though. If I could give more than five stars for Mrs. Rani, I would in a heartbeat. She is nothing short of phenomenal. She is rare kind of teacher who brings passion, wisdom, and heart into EVERY moment of her teaching. Academically, my daughter flourished under her care. Mrs. Rani's ability to introduce foundational skills in reading, math, science, and critical thinking is masterful. But what sets her apart even more is her emphasis on the WHOLE CHILD. She guided my daughter to become independent, kind, emotionally aware, and eager to learn. Traits that are just as important as academics in my eyes, and ones I know will stay with her for life. Mrs. Rani built a classroom culture rooted in respect, curiosity, and compassion. She believed in my daughter and gave her the tools to believe in herself. Thanks to her, my daughter is not only prepared for Kindergarten, she's excited and confident about what's next! And of course I can't go without also thanking the amazing Director & Assistant Director, Ms. Jessica and Ms. Arlene. They have been such a dependable and positive presence, always on top of communication, and always a fresh, smiling face to greet us at drop-off and pick-up. Their leadership has truly helped make KinderCare Covina feel like a supportive, well-run community. And lastly, a wonderful part of this school (and probably my favorite thing I like to tell inquiring friends/parents who are unsure about sending their baby to daycare/preschool) is the KinderCare app! It kept us closely connected to our daughter's day. Getting updates in real-time, from what she ate (and how much), to how long she napped, to photos of her learning and playing, to the weekly curriculum; It gave us such peace of mind and made us feel like we were right there with her. It's an amazing tool for any parent who loves being in the loop. KinderCare Covina has been more than just a daycare or a preschool for us. It has truly been a second home. I can't thank the staff enough for creating such a positive and enriching environment for my daughter. To any parent considering this center: if you want a place where your child will be seen, supported, challenged, and deeply cared for, THIS IS IT!!! And if your child is lucky enough to have Ms. Sandy, Ms. Monica, and/or Mrs. Rani, know that they are in the BEST possible hands. With all my heart, THANK YOU TO OUR FAMILY at KinderCare Covina. You've made a lasting difference in our daughter's life.

I was on the waitlist and when the time came it is a big packet but in all honesty I feel that the more they ask the safer my son will be. My son started at 18 mths and I was very nervous because I was not sure how he was going to be treated. However, it is so nice and relieving to see how they ALL are with him. I went to so many schools and I did not like them but here I am so grateful! I highly recommend this school and care facility. Have another baby coming and when that time comes I hope I will be able to put my baby there when needed. They also do very cute things when holidays come around. Thankful for this school and for the treatment and welcoming of our family.

Discovery Montessori Preschool is truly AMAZING! My son has been attending since he was only 2…read moreyears old. When he first started, he was really shy, hardly spoke, and would prefer playing and being alone, which was concerning me. However, my son soon began to excel. He's become more social and verbal, constantly learning new things and continuously showing improvement. When I pick him up from school, I love seeing how happy and comfortable he is playing with the other children. He now tells me about his friends and what he did that day, and sometimes, out of nowhere, he'll sing songs he learned at school. The teachers are incredibly kind, caring, and patient with all the children. They genuinely show how much they care for every child's development, well-being, and education. They are always willing to discuss any questions, recommendations, and concerns I or they may have. I appreciate it when the teacher not only informs me of his progress but also points out areas that he needs improvement in. The staff also helped me with potty training and were always understanding and accommodating to schedule changes. I have peace of mind every day when I drop him off, knowing he will be safe, well cared for, and in good hands. I completely trust my child in their care. I 100% highly recommend Discovery Montessori Preschool to any family searching for a high-quality, reliable preschool where children are encouraged to learn and develop. Thank you so much Ms. Nilani, Ms. Dishani and Ms. Ayanti! You are all greatly appreciated!

I enrolled my daughter at DCP for a year…read more Since my daughter is on the spectrum and doesn't really communicate verbally, she's not always the easiest kid to take care of and understand. However Ms. Yolanda - whom my daughter affectionately called 'teacher' sometimes - and her staff, were very patient with my daughter. Despite my daughter's neurodivergent traits, her classmates would always greet her with joy, and to me, that's a sign of good students having good teachers who teach them how to be kind and understanding human beings. Communicating with Ms. Yolanda is also a breeze for all you worried parents out there. If you're looking for a God-centered school that prepares your kids for the next step, DCP is for you!

I can only give 5 stars but if I could...I would give a million!…read more My 2.5-year-old had never been to daycare or preschool before, and I was nervous about sending her since she had never really been away from us. But she was begging me to start going somewhere regularly to see friends. She's incredibly social and was craving that connection. I searched everywhere for a preschool that aligned with our values: * Christ-centered * Clean * Beautiful campus * Loving, small environment I wanted to feel as safe and settled as possible, knowing my child would be in caring hands. That's when I found Discovery Christian Preschool (DCP). They checked every single box at first glance. We've been part of the DCP family for about six months now, and unfortunately, we're having to leave only because of the distance. When I first signed my daughter up, I was freshly postpartum and didn't fully realize just how far the drive would be from our home in DTLA (yes, an hour each way!). But even so, we kept her enrolled because we loved the school so much. During her time here, my daughter enjoyed plenty of playtime with friends, great outdoor time, the most creative crafts, and a nurturing environment that made her excited to return every day. She would end the day saying, "I want to go back to school!" She absolutely thrived. This summer, DCP went above and beyond with an amazing summer program -- water days, snowcones, and a fun spirit week where she got to dress up in the best themed outfits. DCP has been such a God-given gift to our family. Miss Yolanda is a bright light -- the most caring director, who truly loves these children as if they were her own. Her passion for early education and her heart for kids are unmatched. And her teachers (shoutout to Miss Jean!) are so so attentive and amazing with all of the children. I'm heartbroken to leave due to the commute, but so grateful for these past six months. DCP is truly one-of-a-kind, and we will miss it deeply.

Ms. Elin was my son's Pre-K teacher, and he absolutely adores her. Under her guidance, he learned all the alphabets, shapes, and colors, and can now count to 20 -- skills I know are often taught in TK. Beyond academics, Ms. Elin always incorporated fun, engaging activities that the kids loved. She also helped my son become more independent with eating, which was something he really needed encouragement in. In the afternoons, when Ms. Elin left, other wonderful teachers stepped in to provide care -- Ms. Silvia, Ms. Christine, Ms. Mary, Ms. Marie and Ms. Nour. My son knows and loves them all. When I once asked my son if there was any teacher he liked the least, his answer was, "no," which says it all!) Last but certainly not least, Ms. Virgine is an incredible director. My son was both a Covid baby (super shy) and a preemie, so I had extra concerns as a first-time mom. One of the main reasons I chose LPG was the smaller class sizes, so he wouldn't be overwhelmed. I was nervous at first, but my worries quickly faded as I watched him grow and thrive. By the time he graduated, he not only had friends in his own class but also knew the names of kids from other classes. I am genuinely grateful to everyone at LPG for giving my son such a memorable preschool experience. You truly can't put a price on that!
