CRAZY PARKING SITUATION... okay, so I enjoyed my time visiting the RCOE board room for a meeting,…read moreand I love the accessibility to the restrooms! However, this office is so cramped and lacks the space for parking that it makes it a nightmare trying to visit the place. 85% of the parking lot was for STAFF ONLY. It doesn't make sense when a majority of the people who step in to RCOE are visitors. Please allot more parking slots for your guests. I much prefer the conference center across the street. Other than that, staff is meh. The staff at the conference center is much better! If you're looking for RCOE it's the building with the solar panels in the front!

I enrolled in the IT Help Desk program at the Riverside County Office of Education expecting…read morestructured instruction, hands-on labs, and internship support. Instead, the program relies mostly on self-paced videos with little guidance, lacks hands-on training, and is behind schedule compared to the syllabus. The classroom environment has also been disruptive, and concerns raised to administration have not been resolved. Overall, the program has not delivered what was promised.

There are always mean kids in the world but it helps calm the situation when the staff is helpful. Thanks Salvation Army for allowing my son to have a safe, inexpensive fun summer. Did I mention inexpensive, it was so cheap they even provided 2 meals a day. I'm still pleased. I wish we lived closer so he could go to there center during the school year it's probably inexpensive and helpful.

EXCELLENT TRAINING/CONFERENCE FACILITY! The staff inside the RCOE's Conference Center are super…read moreprofessional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I came for an ERWC (Expository Reading and Writing) training per my school district's request and absolutely enjoyed coming here the last couple of months. The receptionist was super polite, she told me who I needed to check-in with when I arrived each morning and did it with a friendly demeanor. Our host Jimmy Gomez was super nice and a true gentleman! The conference center is clean, the parking is accessible, and it feels very modern/urban! I was able to find a tidy restroom on every floor without fail. The first floor is dedicated to staff parking and a cafe ran by RCOE called "Cafe Esquina" which serves tasty breakfast and lunch items! The second and third floors are for visitor parking. Last but not least, the conference rooms and main office are located on the fourth floor. Signage containing the day's scheduled meetings and room numbers are located around the building. I saw some by the elevator, this was particularly helpful! I went to the Citrus conference rooms and was treated to a tasty series of breakfast and lunch sessions during each break! The first and fourth floor both have outdoor patios, I ate lunch out there a couple times!

My granddaughter started going just this year in August. what I have noticed immediately is that…read moreshe doesn't want to miss a day. she may get frustrated because it's a new way of learning, but their methods work because it's geared to each child individually. Today as I picked her up a bit early; there was a few steps to even get inside the school grounds. in these times that gave me a sense of security. Mrs.!1 lol Herrera was at the front desk and she was so pleasant. my granddaughters teachers names are Mrs.Flores and Mr. Herrera; she speaks well of them both. Ms. Vandien is another teacher that she has a friendship with through other families, anytime Krissy has needed assistance she's always helped without question. A plus is a student store that even I had as a child. that gives them incentive to earn and spend. all schools should have them. we are truly blessed to have this opportunity. Much thanks Nitza - Krissys Nana

This review is long overdue-- but I feel it is important to provide parents with transparency on…read morehow this school truly operates. Let's just wake a moment to acknowledge that these few 5 star reviews are from the staff-- I know this because my child attended briefly. My son started here in the 1st grade and my daughter kinder. First week was great, second week my daughter told me two boys pushed my son at school. With this info I went to the principal (if he is even qualified to be called that)Whitehead. I spoke to him about my concerns and my kids concerns about the physical contact. He went on to tell me it was "not a bullying situation" so he was not obligated to inform me. The children pushed my child and my child responded and an aide had broken it up. He claimed to have not seen these things happen, but would not allow me to talk to the aide present. As I continued to express my concerns, he tried to tell me my son was the aggressor. Frustrated I asked for a conference to discuss this as Whitehead was very gaslighting and dismissive. While the conversation continued another staff member approached to save Whitehead, (due to his lack of qualifications he was not able to handle the conversation on his own) a lady name Ms. Kemp approached. She claimed to be his colleague (right hand if you will), but it almost certainly gave off a husband/wife vibe. The next day I was called into the office to talk about my child--- ALL OF A SUDDEN, he's a problem. Whitehead goes on to tell me my child is doing disruptive things and being physical. Conveniently his teacher didn't see these things, lady Kemp saw them. They claimed my child attempted to bite a child's arm out. Yet NOT ONE PERSON saw this. What Kemp and Whitehead were unaware of was that I was in contact with the teacher aide. Constantly checking in and she said my child was doing great. So my child is doing great, until I confront whitehead about negligence-- now my child is a problem. That's interesting. Needing more clarification, I reach out to his teacher, Kubo-- to speak about my child progression and participation in class. She tells me through dojo she'll give me a call. But guess who calls me instead? Yep, whitehead and kemp. The teacher said she saw none of these things that it was brought to her attention. I let whitehead know I his office, YOU ARE A BULLY! A MEATHEAD, AND UNDER-QUALIFIED. His email signature for being a mentor and navigator not only incorrectly characterizes him, but it's obvious and sadly misspelled. This is NOT a school, this is a CULT! Whitehead should NEVER be allowed to call himself a principal. Your children are not safe there. They are headcount's for a paycheck. I thought I was gaining a community. Instead I gained insight on how some people are only in certain for power and intimidation. Not to mention he tried to use my child's kindergarten behaviors to justify his actions as a grown man. You know how disgusting that is to blame a baby for the actions of an adult? Do you know how dangerous it is, to have teachers willing to go along with another teacher? Not to mention my daughter lunch was constantly stolen, along with her thermal water bottle-- and she often complained of her teacher plugging her ears as kids approached her with help or issues. Please choose a safer place for your babies. THEY ARE NOT SAFE THERE. PROTECT CHILDREN AT ALL COSTS SPRINGS CHARTER! May God have mercy on those who bully, harm, and/or neglect children. If you or any family have experienced any misfortunes at this school please report it! Reviews are not enough, get predatory people out of the school system!

I enrolled with Mission Career College on August 7 and was scheduled to begin classes at the San…read moreBernardino campus on August 31. On August 26, I called the school specifically to confirm the start date, class hours, and lunch schedule. During that conversation, I was not informed that the class had been canceled or that there were any issues with the scheduled start date. When I arrived at the San Bernardino campus on August 31, the building was closed, the lights were off, and no staff members were present. There was also a Southern California Edison "Final Call" notice posted on the door regarding the electric service. I have included a photo of the notice with this review. Seeing an electric-service notice posted on the door of a career college where I was supposed to begin my education was very concerning. Combined with the canceled class and lack of communication, it made me seriously question the reliability and credibility of the school and whether I could depend on the program remaining available long enough for me to complete my training. Because I had received no notification explaining the situation, I drove to the Riverside campus, where I originally enrolled and completed my assessment. Staff there informed me that someone should have contacted me to let me know the San Bernardino class had been canceled. I was also told that the San Bernardino location may be shutting down and that there may be a night class at the Riverside campus toward the end of September if enough students enroll. I am extremely disappointed with how this was handled. I had been enrolled since August 7 and had already waited nearly a month for the program to begin. More importantly, I personally contacted the school only five days before my scheduled start date to verify the class information. Despite that, I was given no indication that the class would not be taking place. There is also an issue involving my workers' compensation education vouchers. The vouchers were returned to me, but I was informed that they had already been submitted for payment. I now have to contact my workers' compensation administrator to make sure payment is not processed so that I can use my vouchers toward a program at another school. I understand that classes can be canceled and circumstances can change. However, I believe an enrolled student should be notified promptly--especially when that student specifically calls days beforehand to confirm the class. Finding out that my class had been canceled only after arriving at a closed campus, seeing an electric-service notice on the door, and then having to drive to another campus to obtain an explanation was extremely disappointing. It has delayed my education and created an additional issue involving my workers' compensation funding. Based on my experience, I would recommend that prospective students get their enrollment information, class start date, and funding status in writing and verify everything before making plans around a scheduled program and continuously verify that your classes is scheduled to start.

And with my last visit to the 2023 Nutcracker show, it was nothing but splendid! The performance center itself is part of the Riverside Community College, so depending where you will park, you might get to walk around the campus. There also could be a flight of long stairs or just a flat walk towards the main entrance. Staff here are also really helpful and nice, and I'm sure they are the same for all the different shows they have here. Inside the auditorium, it reminds me of a large lecture hall: with those wooden, collapsable chairs...just felt like being in college again! Which was cool. The stage and its lighting system is amazing and the stage will be lit up just perfectly for any show. I really enjoy coming here and who knows, maybe I'll come back for another show!

Now known as Landis Performing Arts Center…read more I was impressed by the campus at RCC and enjoyed the complementary shuttle from the parking lot to the theater in an open-air cart. The Theater is large with 1500 seats and a professional stage that I hear is about to get some major upgrades. It's obvious that a lot of effort has gone into making this storied stage something special. Simple concessions from a local club from campus were nice and just the right price. Tickets for into the woods was just $16.00 with a $5 discount for advanced purchase, an amazing bargain! Into The woods was fantastic, clever, and massively entertaining with a superb cast. The Sets and lighting crossed between professional and campy, just perfect for such a fun show.
