I took my 8-year-old to Dr. Bloch due to his double vision and blurriness. A complete test with…read moreregards to every detail was done by the friendly and helpful staffs and Dr. Bloch, a diagnosis was made. My son was put on a serious eye muscles exercise for his eyes to work together, and also a training for better reading habit. The improvement was astonishing! In just a few weeks, his symptoms were almost gone, and he started developing better reading habit. His not even complete with the whole program yet, but his reading is already off the chart (some at high school or college level), but his performance in sports also improved. When I look for any doctor, i care about their medical knowledge, patience to listen and appreciate my concerns and if they are respected by their colleagues and patients. Dr. Bloch is more than that, he's passionate about what he's doing, and he genuinely cares. These good qualities also show in the tidiness of his office, and his whole team of staffs. My family really appreciates this partnership in this process with Dr. Bloch and his team.

Watching my child struggle created so much anxiety for the whole family. I didn't know what to do. A friend told me to see Dr. Bloch. I thought what I have to lose at this point. Dr Bloch has changed my son's life. Within one month he is bringing me chapter books to read. Word recognition, fluency, reading speed, and confidence have improved 100% from where we started. It is an amazing program!

My children serve on student council, and participate in numerous character-building community service projects. The Learning Support Program has been very effective in allowing my children to succeed at their grade level and given them the confidence to push themselves academically.

They can't wait to go to school. My older one now has his sights set on private high schools as well. St. Francis completely changed the course of their lives. I am forever grateful. The staff is amazing, they pay such close attention to the kids they can tell you what you packed them for lunch and if they ate it all. The after school activities and sports are super, the fundraisers are such a blast!! I love this school, I love everything about it.

My child attended Discovery Isle Oceanside for just two months, and that was two months too long…read more It took less than a month for me to realize I had made a huge mistake entrusting them with my son, who was only five months old at the time. When I first toured the school, the focus was entirely on how much I would be paying, what discounts I could get if I signed up immediately, and what payment method I would use. Not a single word about safety, cleanliness, curriculum, or care standards. Only money. I should have walked away then, but desperate for care, I enrolled him. I still carry guilt for that decision. The promises they make during enrollment, like daily photo updates and reports on feedings, naps, and diapers, are completely empty. Over two months, I received only seven photo updates. Daily reports were not sent during the day, only after pick-up, leaving me completely clueless about my son's well-being while he was there. The infant and toddler rooms are combined, creating a chaotic environment totally unsuitable for babies. My son routinely got only 8-12 minute naps for the entire day. When I asked for help working on his sleep, I was met with blank stares. Their nap policy is basically to wait until a baby accidentally falls asleep on the floor before moving them into a crib. Babies are often left crying on the floor or stuck between gates. I witnessed a teacher step on a baby's hand and saw firsthand how overwhelmed and exhausted the staff are. I even overheard a teacher gossiping to a new hire about how much she "hated" a child on the preschool side, setting a toxic tone for a child she had never even met. Illness spreads like wildfire in this place. Their sick policy is practically meaningless. Babies with green mucus, rashes, and other clear signs of illness are allowed to stay as long as they do not have a fever. They mishandled my son's breastmilk bottles, letting milk leak and go to waste. They regularly used the wrong size diapers, leaving him soaked and uncomfortable. Items clearly labeled with his name routinely went missing. AND THIS IS CRITICAL: at no point was I asked to provide my son's immunization records or a physician's report. In California, licensed daycare centers are legally required to verify and maintain up-to-date immunization records for every child upon enrollment. Discovery Isle Oceanside simply ignored this law. If they are failing basic legal requirements for safety, what else are they overlooking behind closed doors? When I raised concerns to the principal, I was ignored. The only time she responded was to demand 30 days' payment because I was withdrawing him. She had no interest in addressing the serious issues I raised. Only the money mattered. Maybe for older children this place barely scrapes by. But for infants, it is absolutely unsafe, unsanitary, and not worth the risk. Learn from my mistake and stay far, far away.

I have been attending weekly classes with Paula since February of 2016. I started with private…read morelessons to immediately work on the most pertinent vocabulary I would need for my work, moved into a small group (2 others) and am now back to private lessons. Paula is the best Spanish teacher I have ever had and I've experienced 6 throughout high school and university. She explains the logic (or lack of logic) behind grammar very clearly. I have had questions about estar/ser and the subjunctive that other teachers have told me I would just have to "feel out" that Paula directly answered for me. The subjunctive feels way less intimidating to me now. I like that she explains some things in English to insure that the basic principles are understood but still gets me to speak at length in Spanish. She starts every class asking about my week and my plans which gets me to learn very practical vocabulary and conversation skills. I feel really comfortable speaking with her in Spanish. The other day I appropriately used the past subjunctive when speaking with a client--"¿Quisieras un arbol de Navidad?" I was really proud and would not have been able to do so confidently if it hadn't been for Paula. I highly recommend you take her classes.

Santa Margarita Elementary School in Oceanside, Camp Pendleton…read more Last year my son went to P-K, and this year T-k. Every staff member at the school has been amazing. The Principal and Vice Principal, the front office staff, the school nurse, and all the teachers ; they constantly try ( and succeed) at finding the best ways to communicate, and be approachable for the parents and students. There are policies and practices for keeping the students safe and accountable. The learning goals are set and worked towards daily. And everyone smiles and is genuinely friendly, so I don't think that'd be possible constantly unless it was a healthy environment. I'm very grateful for the time my son spends there.

She didn't follow the CDE requirements for IS at all and used her husband's position as assistant principal to protect her position. Instead of guidance we got weekly emails about her weekends with her kids and the weather! What a joke! What does that have to do with my child's education. Furthermore the interactive learning was far from interactive or synchronous! Instead my child watched boring videos from out of state teachers with no way to connect with anyone! I don't know about the other teachers just this teacher and I can't believe she gets paid to waste my child's time with a joke of an education. We tried to switch teachers but that didn't happen so we switched schools! I only wish we switched sooner!

If parenting had a cheat code, I'm fairly certain it would be called Kids town Montessori…read more We enrolled our daughter expecting the usual preschool perks: some finger painting, maybe a few new songs, and the occasional macaroni masterpiece. What we got instead was a small army of patient, brilliant humans who apparently moonlight as child-development wizards. Within two weeks, they had our daughter potty trained, a milestone that had previously seemed like it would require negotiation tactics used at international peace summits. By age two, she was confidently putting on her own clothes. By 3 1/2, Ms. Rahda had taught her to read! And by four, she was casually writing full sentences, while we were still trying to remember where we left our coffee. But the real magic of Kids town isn't just the academics. The teachers genuinely love the kids like they're their own. You can feel it the moment you walk in. They know every child, every quirk, every milestone, and they celebrate them all. Their communication with parents is fantastic, which means we never feel out of the loop and always know how our daughter is growing. Kids town Montessori somehow manages to create an environment where kids become independent, confident, curious little human and they do it while making it look effortless. If you're looking for a school where your child will be nurtured, challenged, and occasionally come home sounding suspiciously smarter than you, Kids town Montessori is it.
