Ms Peggy's Response to my review proves that what I wrote is accurate. Instead of showing any kind…read moreof humility, she has doubled down on gaslighting me. I never stated anything about whether your facility was is compliance with state licensing regulations, which are the bare minimum requirments for all licensed child care facilities and nothing to be bragging about. You say things like that your policies are "clearly communicated," with no such explanation of what you mean, when I provided factual details and pages of "critical context." You have now accussed me of "repeated concerns regarding hostile communication and ongoing disruptive interactions with staff." For the prospective families reading this, I implore you, Ms. Peggy, to define what your definitions of "hostile communication" and "ongoing disruptive interactions" and "combative" are. I also give you permission to state what dates and claims about me you are even referring to, but make sure to to include "critical context" without being "inaccurate" or "misleading" when doing so. Parents need to be aware that you were never around during the incidents I described, so you have no basis for knowing whether anything I described was inaccurate. I asked a lot of questions that your staff didn't like and 1st I was called "rude" for it and now that I documented my experiences, you are trying to label me "hostile." Shame on you. This is basic mean girl bullying and the wrong way to respond to a review because it is not 5 stars.

A truly special school. Our family was in Santa Monica at fancy pre-schools that took me years on a…read morewaitlist to access. I was distraught leaving them and trying something new in Chatsworth... Miss Victoria welcomed our family with such kindness and candor. She was very clear and open about her philosophies which I appreciated. She is a big believer of meeting children where they are and supporting their own growth path. She encouraged us not to get hung up on milestones or outside in "rules" on development. In her care, our 4yr old and 3yr old FLOURISHED. Our 4yr old had been struggling a bit socially and learning her letters. Within 2 months at Mother Goose, her confidence had sky-rocketed. She was writing her name beautifully and also reading letters on signs unprompted. Best of all, she was excited to see friends from school at the park, running up and collaboratively engaging in new games. Our 3yr old is more of a born student. For her, we worry about not enough challenge. But a couple months in to Mother Goose and it was clear that they were keeping up with her needs. She learned all about continents and famous artists from each continent. She knew the information so well that she was applying it to new situations. For instance, her sister would talk about her ear hurting and out of nowhere my daughter would say, "You know, Van Gogh had a hurt ear." It really was remarkable to see how they grew academically, socially, and emotionally. I had so much ease leaving them at Mother Goose each day knowing they would be genuinely cared for. It may not be the fanciest looking school, but Miss Victoria and her team have hearts of gold. Of the four private preschools our family has had the privilege to be a part of, I would choose Mother Goose. Sadly, we now had to leave the state, so I won't be there to welcome new families who choose this special place.

From what I understand via other business owners, having reviews deleted is a difficult process. So imagine the effort the Director had to make to have it removed. Almost a month later, now there's a response. Please note the tone of the response is very misleading. Please do yourself a favor and read the other negative reviews because my experience is not an isolated event. Beware! ORIGINAL POST: As a mental health professional, I feel compelled to share my experiences to inform and caution both current and prospective parents. Ms. Victoria, the Director, targeted our 5-year-old son's behavior, to the point that we felt it necessary to have him assessed for ADHD. Overtime, it became increasingly clear he was being discriminated against. Ms. Victoria told me our son said he didn't want to participate in Pre-K graduation. I told her we'd respect that. But soon after, our son began expressing, consistently and unprompted, that he wanted to be part of it. When I asked if he could still join, she responded with a list of behavioral conditions he would have to meet before she would "consider" including him. Ms. Victoria also completed the teacher portion of his ADHD assessment, so she was fully aware of the behaviors being evaluated. It felt like she was now weaponizing those behaviors to exclude him. When I later messaged her via the school's platform to ask about the graduation date, she never responded. This was the moment I realized she was the one who did not want him to participate. That week, we made the decision to withdraw our son from the school. We requested a refund for the prepaid month, but Ms. Victoria denied it, based on the 30 day notice requirement and claiming she never received the message as she had been out all week for a family emergency. We later confirmed she had been at the other school location. Furthermore, as Director and owner, maintaining communication and accountability is her responsibility. Her actions throughout this experience reflected a pattern of defensiveness, manipulation (gaslighting, dishonesty, and false narratives), and a refusal to take responsibility. While many families may never encounter this side of the school, if you do, trust your instincts and advocate for your child. I deeply regret not withdrawing our son sooner. No child should be made to feel like a problem.

My son who is 4 years old started here at the beginning of the school's summer session in late June 2020. I had wanted him to transition to this school from his previous preschool because Devonshire Preschool had such a strong academic program. When I had visited the year before and saw the work the 4 and 5 year olds were producing it was amazing. They were writing 5 letter words, such as "piece" perfectly and doing math and science. My son wanted to learn more and at his previous school there was just a little too much free play, where it felt like the kids were just being babysat and not stimulated with learning and fun activities. When he started I immediately saw a difference. Even during the summer session there was a fun subject theme each week. During Paleontology week they excavated dinosaurs and dinosaur bones out of sand and ice cubes and learned about fossils. During Pioneer week they churned fresh butter and sifted through dirt to find gold nuggets. During Impressionist Art Week they learned about Piet Mondrian, Robert Kree and Jackson Pollack and made amazing paintings that look just like the artists' paintings. When he came home and showed me the paintings he was so excited and he even taught me about the artists. I only knew about Jackson Pollack. During Health week they learned about the different organs in the body with a fun "Pin the organ" on the kids activity. Hel was loving his teachers, the kids and all the new activities. The academic school year started in late August and by the end of September he could write the alphabet by memory. He soon started to learn to write words and by early December he was reading words. He is now reading full stories, writing four letter words, can count to 100 and write all the numbers up to 100 and is doing math (basic addition and subtraction) which is his favorite subject. During the academic year there are still a lot of fun creative activities the kids do. Last week they built tee pees with sticks outside and did an experiment with eggs and the colors they turn when you put them in different drinks, so you can see how different drinks may effect the color of your teeth. The school is health conscious and doesn't allow the kids to bring snacks with more than 8 grams of sugar to school. And yes with all this the kids still get to play a ton! My son has made some wonderful friends in the 7 months he's been there and we have made friends with a lot of the parents too. We even have been setting up regular playdates at playgrounds with some of them during this COVID pandemic so the kids really get to have fun with each other and be kids during this tough time. The school has been really safe during COVID. There have been no outbreaks. The kids are really good about wearing their masks and honestly my son who usually got a runny nose at least once a month and a fever once every three months when going to day care has not had any since he started at Devonshire Preschool. He is healthier than ever. The ownership just recently changed, but the new owners are keeping everything the same and really seem like a lovely couple that really care about the school, the teachers, the parents and the kids. This school has really been a blessing. We are so thankful our son is lucky enough to go here and just hope that his future schools will live up to it

He loves his friends there and he loves his teachers, he's always so excited to tell me about what project he is working on.
