In the beginning, our son (18-month old) had challenges being with a group of friends and Mr. Dave, Ms. Ranum, and teachers had so much patience and positive attitude working with my son to overcome it. They assisted with the potty train process which helped us so much. The school also handled Covid situation well, and we never had to worry about it. Our son enjoys his time here. He makes good friends and he loves all the teachers from three different age classes. This place makes our parenting life to have one less thing to worry about. I recommend this school to all our friends and families. We have signed up our second son to be here and we will suggest you to take a tour to see it yourself!

This is a wonderful place and we are so glad our daughter could go here for her first school…read moreexperience. The owners and staff are attentive, accommodating, and easy to talk to. Our child began with major separation anxiety, but thanks to the teachers who stuck by her side, she began dancing and having fun in as little as four days and the crying at drop-off stopped after 2 weeks, at which point she began to run inside to be with her teachers and friends. The facility is very clean, safe, and built with growing kids in mind. They have a really good curriculum and great activities in each classroom. In the toddler class (ages 18-36mo & where our child was) they have a 6-to-1 child/teacher ratio. If I had to complain about one thing, it's that I wish we could get more photos/videos and updates throughout the day, but since I also don't want the teachers on cell-phones all day long, it's an okay trade off knowing that our kid will come home happy everyday and sometimes with cool art projects in hand! The staff also does a great job notifying us of any incidents (booboos, bites, runny noses) that need our immediate attention or knowledge. They have a good, effective covid policy in place too and if I'm not mistaken only one child tested positive for covid since the pandemic began, but the child stayed home and quarantined. The entire school/staff was then dismissed to get tested and the results were all negative. To protect everyone, they check everyone's temps upon arrival and they won't hesitate to send children home for high temps or any covid-like symptoms. I would highly recommend anyone to come here, especially if it's their child's first school. They do a wonderful job.

For years, I have both looked forward to and dreaded the idea of writing this review. I'm happy…read morebecause I finally get to write about our five amazing years here, but sad because I know it means the end of our time with Creative Child. I have sent both my kids here, and I love this school so much that I even chose to keep my daughter for her final year as an "Imagineer" instead of placing her in our free elementary school's TK program (of which I was not the only one!). Every positive thing that previous reviewers have mentioned is 100% accurate, so I won't repeat those. What I really want to talk about is the trust I felt the moment I first walked into this preschool and how that trust remained until our very last week here. It was during the reopening period of COVID, and we were already enrolled at another preschool that I didn't really like. I had also missed the rush to enroll my son, so all the other schools were full. I toured 5-6 schools throughout the SGV, but none of them ever felt quite right. That all changed when I toured CCP. The moment I met Ms Denise, it clicked. The school, the teachers, the classrooms, it all felt like a place where I needed to get my son enrolled. Of course, they were full too, but by sheer luck, an opening became available a few months later, and I jumped at the chance and I have been grateful ever since. I also have to mention that I am probably one of the pickiest parents you will ever meet when it comes to my kids. One of my biggest concerns, especially with my son, has always been eating, particularly because of his food allergies. He has always been a picky eater, and usually took forever to eat a small amount. But at Creative Child, that was not the case. I actually witnessed it first hand at a parent lunch event when I saw my son not only eat EVERYTHING on his plate, but finish before almost everyone else and then cleaned up after himself. Up until that moment, I honestly assumed the teachers just told us the kids ate everything to make us parents feel better, lol. The school's communication is also top tier. They ALWAYS keep you in the loop about what's happening at school and with your child. I knew my kids were being cared for, encouraged, and looked after, and I trusted the teachers completely. That peace of mind is hard to find these days. Not only have my kids made amazing friendships here, but so have we as parents! Because of this school, I have made incredible friends with other families, and to this day, our kids and families still hang out. You truly feel like family when you are part of this school. I trust every single teacher with my children and hold each one of them in the highest regard. I have always told other parents that preschool is invaluable to a child's development because of the skills and confidence they build at such an early age. I have seen the proof firsthand. I watched my shy little kids go from standing like statues on stage during their first Christmas recital to singing their hearts out and confidently performing choreographed dance moves by the time they graduate. Every child I have seen leave this school comes out as a confident kid, ready to take on public school. Creative Child has given our family so much more than just a preschool. It has given my children confidence, friendships, wonderful memories, and a strong foundation for the next chapter of their lives. Thank you, Ms Denise, Ms Sharon, Ms Susan, Mr Viet, Ms Annie, Ms Rosie, Ms Giselle, and Ms Jessica, for five incredible years. We will miss you more than you know!

We thought we knew what to expect from preschool, having already sent our older son through one…read morewhen we lived in a different city, but Creative Child Preschool in Temple City still managed to pleasantly surprise us. I hope this review helps other parents new to the area see what a gem this school has been for busy parents like ourselves. First is the schedule. Drop-off starts earlier than most other schools in the area, and pick-up is any time before 6pm. This translate to tangible flexibility for two working parents. We'd heard about, and experienced, other preschools with shorter hours that even take weeks off for spring and winter break like the public school calendar. Believe me when I say I'm eternally grateful we never had to manage those schedule gaps with Creative Child. Next is the physical space. The school itself feels like a home, each room beautifully decorated and cozy. The school yard is huge, with swings, slides, and a sandbox. Whenever we visit, my daughter is running and jumping through the yard with her friends like it's her own personal jungle gym. There are also add-ons we could opt into throughout the week. My daughter looked forward to Tuesday tap dancing every single week, along with Mandarin and My Gym classes. These are activities right on campus during school hours. Outside of school hours, we even got to invite her grandparents to her tap recital, and it turned into such a great family bonding moment. Creative Child doesn't feel like just a place to drop off your kid. I appreciate how intentional they are about pulling parents into the experience all year long. I did a mechanical bull ride with my daughter on Father's Day. We built gingerbread houses together during the holidays. The summer calendar get even better with magician, petting zoo, splash days, and more! The teachers are superstars here. The school is intimate enough that the teachers are familiar to all the kids, even if they're not the primary instructor for their class. So as my daughter moved up each year, she was never meeting anyone brand new, just a familiar face she hadn't had as her main teacher yet. Ms. Denise, Ms. Annie, Mr. Viet, Ms. Sharon, Ms. Susan, Ms. Jessica and Ms. Giselle all became familiar to her over the years, and I think that consistency built so much of her confidence. My daughter had trouble pronouncing her "s" sounds early on, enough that we got a professional consult just to be safe. Once she started in the Imagineer class with Ms. Denise, her speech noticeably improved week after week. I felt like she's already performing at a kindergarten level even though she's not even at that age yet. And the food deserves a mention. Ms. Rosie runs the kitchen, and she's a magician. My daughter won't touch oatmeal at home, but somehow cleans her bowl at school. We joke that we need to steal the recipes from Ms. Rosie someday, because the quality of meals in the public school system isn't even close in comparison. Lastly, getting to know the other families in our cohort made it clear we'd landed somewhere special. So many families here are rooted in the local community, and I learned so much just from talking to other parents, tips on neighborhood activities, what to expect once public school starts, from families with older siblings already there. Those are the invisible benefits nobody tells you when searching for a preschool. We definitely got more out of the school than what we paid for. Creative Child gave us the school part and the community part, and we're genuinely going to miss it when she finally graduates and enter the public school system. Creative Child Temple City simply exceeded our expectations in every way!

Every single teacher here is exceptionally nice, patient, and genuinely invested in the children's growth. They create such a warm, welcoming environment that my son looked forward to going to school every single day. What we love most about the curriculum is the perfect balance it strikes: Strong Academics & Creativity: They have an impressive academic foundation that fully prepared my son for his next big step into elementary school, but they always keep it full of creativity, imagination, and fun. Endless Activities: The school keeps the kids engaged with a wonderful variety of activities that brought out the best in my son's curiosity. Amazing Care: As a parent, peace of mind is everything. The school safety is top-notch. Plus, it is incredibly convenient that they provide two healthy snacks and a nutritious lunch every day, which my son loved. If you are looking for a safe, nurturing, academic, and creative preschool that feels like family, I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

As a parent, I felt genuinely sad when it was time to leave AIP. I truly wish they had an elementary program because the teachers and curriculum are exceptional.

I typically don't leave any reviews, but I think this place deserves one. My son has attended YPV…read moresince he was 2 years old and recently just started attending public school. He is quite shy and sensitive, so we were a bit worried about this environment change. However, he had a really great teacher when he started and all the staff were all so welcoming and kind. This really helped him start liking school and being around his peers has also helped him start talking, like a lot. He hasn't stopped yapping since. This is a diaper free school, so the teachers and aids helped with potty training. They were attentive and we never had an issue with potty accidents. All the teachers on campus are very friendly and are professional. Any accidents, no matter how small the injury is, they will provide you with a report. They have an on campus cook who provides delicious lunch for the kids. My son ate vegetables?! Must be very yummy, or peer pressure. I thank all the kids who provided a good example of eating veggies. Ypv also has a lot of fun activities that keep kids engaged. They celebrate most major holidays and invite vendors to come perform fun shows for the kids. They also have events such as pony riding, train rides, field trips to the movies and indoor playgrounds, carnival games set up by teachers, snow day, and water play on school playground. My son thoroughly enjoyed snow days and the pony rides every year. As a parent, I looked forward to their Christmas performances to see how my son progressed throughout the years. YPV has a more academically driven program while also integrating development of self independence. My son learned his ABCs, colors, shapes, and can count to more than 100 by the time he left for public school. His coloring skills has greatly improved and he's able to write his name and simple words. As a full time working parent, I appreciate all the academic support the teachers have given my son. Compared to the other day care options nearby, we found that YPV is reasonably priced and we really liked the school environment. I am counting down the days when my youngest can start attending this school!

I had to write this review after our parent teacher conference at our kids Kindergarten, YPV really…read morehas prepared our kid and more We had our little one come to YPV since he was 2 years old until the end of summer just when he would start kindergarten. YPV has daycare for 2 years old all the way up to Kindergarten themselves. It was very hard for us to have family take care of our kids when we have to work and get home late, they are able to have their teachers there until 6pm latest pick up. When our first oldest went to YPV he was very shy and and scared of people (he was born covid, and we had no one around except ourselves). We had started his potty training but he was not doing well. When we enrolled him to YPV, he cried every day for 3 month's straight while being dropped off to school (it's normal for kids to cry for weeks, but it was understandable for our kid). Note: when your child is enrolled and needs potty training, the tuition is a little more expensive and will decrease back to normal tuition once they are able to use the potty themselves with assistance. They also provide you all the information you need to continue the potty training at home. Gradually he starting babbling much more and being more happy around people with less social anxiety during his first year at YPV. He was able to be potty trained by 3, and would understand using the potty #1 and #2 when he needed it. YPV kept my kiddo engaged and learning the whole time the 3 years he was there. There was never a day I told him, "it was time for school" and he would say he didn't want to go. The teachers there are good and care about the students. They provide lunch and snacks. Shout out to the parents that create goodie bags for their kids bdays, it made my kid really happy and we reciprocated also. They learn how to behave around other kids without being rowdy and we get progress reports of how well they are doing in class academically every quarter. By TK, the kids are already writing some words and can read some basics. I was just at a parent teacher conference at my kid's Public elementary school just yesterday where they were going over their curriculum for kindergarten. Counting up to 100, phonetic reading words, basic sight words, starting addition and subtraction, cutting skills, dexterity drawing coloring.... my kid can do them all already thanks to YPV! But I also have to credit my wife for going over homework with our kid (at TK , YPV teachers start giving some homework to prepare our kid for kindergarten) And you also need to read books with them at home and practice sight words. With what you do at home, and how the teachers help them exceed at school, I'm constantly surprised how much my kid knows. On another note, Summer School at YPV has way more activities and field trips. They have contractors for train rides, science shows, magic shows, puppet shows, petting zoo's, kids train rides, water play with spraying. Last year, if enough kids signed up for tickets, were able to rent out a movie theater to watch Minions. Parents and kids had a chance to experience a movie without the chance of our kids being noisy being a nuisance cause other movie goers and was a good chance to teach them how to behave in this setting. My kid was also really happy to ride an on actual full sized School Bus. There's also a snow day during winter where they bring in a snow machine to make snow in the playground area and the kids can play there for the next day or 2 till it melts. With a small snow slide too. My other kid is almost two and we've already gotten a spot at YPV for her, we're lucky to have such a great place near by.

The school communicates clearly about learning themes, meals, incidents, and events. In the summer, the staff put together a truly wonderful series of fun events such as splash day, a puppet show performance, and junior Olympics. As a Transitional Kindergarten & Kindergarten teacher, I can attest that CCP is preparing my child well for the years ahead.
