My family withdrew from Holy Name of Mary after only one year, and I want to share our experience…read moreso other parents understand why. Our decision is based entirely on the conduct and leadership of the principal, Mrs. Berumen, which we found consistently unprofessional, dismissive, and completely misaligned with the values a Catholic school should uphold. At the beginning of the school year, I raised a concern about comments made by my daughter's teacher during Open House. She spoke about visiting shamans during her travels and's other religious leaders and placed those trinkets from those visits at the prayer section of the classroom. This is the section where the children go pray near at the crucifix. I found this inappropriate for a Catholic learning environment. When I brought this to the principal, she dismissed my concern and told me that Holy Name of Mary "is a liberal school and welcomes all religions." I explained that while that may be appropriate in a public school, I specifically pay for a Catholic education rooted in Catholic teaching. The concern was brushed aside. As the year went on, the situation worsened. During the 7th grade overnight camp, my daughter witnessed three girls taking photos of a classmate while she slept and drooled, mocking her and laughing. According to my daughter, this classmate has been excluded and ridiculed for a long time. My daughter reported the incident because she believed it was the right thing to do. Months later, my daughter came home begging to leave the school. When I met with the principal to understand why, the interaction was shocking. She looked directly at my daughter and said, "Now Victoria, you know why the girls don't like you. Tell the truth." My daughter was stunned. The principal continued, saying that Victoria should not expect to be liked if "the first thing she did as the new girl was tell on the other girls." Instead of addressing the bullying or modeling Christian leadership, the principal suggested that my daughter simply stop spending time with the girl who was being bullied, saying, "She will understand." This was deeply disappointing and completely inappropriate for someone in a leadership role at a Christian school. Towards the end of the year and when we had already made it clear we were moving schools the following year, my daughter was repeatedly written up for minor or unclear reasons, often without proper communication. She felt singled out and alone. When I emailed the principal expressing concern and asking her to stand down as we are leaving next year and there was only less than a month left of the school year, her response was once again unnecessarily rude and dismissive. Her closing statement was especially troubling: "We ask that you respect our team during this transition. If this is not possible, we suggest transitioning Victoria to her new school before the end of the school year. This will allow her to have a fresh start while enabling our staff to focus on our current students." This made it clear that our concerns were viewed as a burden and that my daughter was seen as an inconvenience. Because of the seriousness of these issues, I contacted Father Chris directly and later reached out to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to ensure they were aware of what was happening. Despite escalating the concerns through the proper channels, nothing changed. The principal remains in her leadership role, and the environment continues to reflect the same dismissive and abrasive culture we experienced all year. For context, I paid the full year's tuition upfront and would have continued next year. My son attends Damien High School and will graduate next year. This shows my commitment to Catholic education -- which makes this experience even more disappointing. We are leaving solely because of the principal's conduct. The environment she has created is not supportive, not compassionate, and not reflective of the values this school claims to uphold. I hope the parish and the Archdiocese take a serious look at the culture under her administration, because families deserve better.

Since their website had little info, I found them on Facebook with listed events. I had wanted to attend their open house but saw that they had a community dinner that was open to everyone and free.

When we arrived, we were greeted immediately by a friendly mosque goer who gave us this vast history of the religion in a nutshell and in under 30 minutes. He gave us a brief tour of the grounds too and gave us DVD about Modern Muslims/religion. The other members of the mosque were also friendly and welcoming.

I cannot even begin to explain the anxiety I had trying to figure out where I can put my son for preschool. Having just moved to the Inland Empire area, I wasn't very familiar with the school system but living in an area where the schools are 9/10 top in the state, it still "public" schooling. My child would still be one of many at that school, will he even be noticed? Will a teacher ever contact me if they suspect something? With everything I have been hearing and seeing about public schools these days, those were all valid feelings I had. I was searching for months as to which school my son would start in. Then I heard about New Dimensions from a neighbor and decided to attend their open house. OMG! I LOVED ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE FROM THE STAFF TO THE PARENTS WHOSE KIDS ALREADY GO THERE. Their curriculum is really advanced and my child being a student there for 2 years now has grown drastically compared to others his age. I really do think it has a lot to do with this school. The fact that everyone there knows my 5 year old by name is amazing to me. The comfort of the family environment is everything, and the personalized attention he gets...I literally get texts from his teachers of cute pictures of activities he did that day or how he excelled in one particular task. Being an involved parent is extremely important to me and this school makes that sooooooooooo much easier and more pleasant.

He came home smiling saying GUESS WHAT MOM I NO LONGER NEED TO SUCK MY THUMB BECAUSE I'M SAFE AT SCHOOL. You can't imagine the joy this brought me.

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.

I am writing to express my deep disappointment regarding the decision to deny my son admission to…read moreFoothill Christian School's kindergarten program. As you know, my son successfully attended Foothill Christian Preschool, where his Pre-K teacher formally documented that he was fully prepared for kindergarten. During our recent meeting, however, administration (Joy & Mr. G) indicated that he was not ready due to unspecified developmental concerns, and advised us to seek a public school evaluation. Following their recommendation, we immediately had my son evaluated by a licensed Occupational Therapist. The specialist confirmed that his development is entirely within the normal range for his age, noting that public school intervention would not even be applicable. It is disheartening to experience such a significant disconnect between your preschool's curriculum preparation and your elementary school's admissions standards. Given our family's long-standing support of and relationship with the school, we expected a more collaborative, accurate, and supportive approach. While we have decided to pursue his education in an environment better suited to support him, we sincerely hope FCS reviews its evaluation process to prevent other families from enduring a similar experience
