Kids World claims to be one of the best preschools in Temecula, but my experience was the opposite…read more I enrolled my son, who has a mild speech delay, expecting caring support. On his very first day, the principal called, saying he was crying for his mom and needed to be picked up--something completely normal for a first day. Instead of helping him adjust, they suggested getting an aide right away, without a diagnosis. The principal, new to the school, seemed more focused on proving herself than understanding my child's needs. I withdrew him, and he's now thriving elsewhere. I don't recommend Kids World. They care about money more than kids

We love the curriculum they have, even for 3-year olds. Lots of crafts, outdoor play, English/Spanish language development, and most importantly, Fun! I feel like my daughter is learning a lot for her age (numbers, alphabet, days of the week, colors, etc.). They have a company that comes weekly that offers dance and fitness classes (for an additional fee), which my daughter loves. My daughter loves her teachers (Ms. Sonia and Ms. Sarah), who are so patient, nurturing, and kind. We also have to give a shout-out to her former teacher, Ms. Rocio. We only had her for a few months in the 2-year old room but she left a soft spot in our hearts. She helped our daughter transition into her new school so well and gave plenty of hugs, when needed. I appreciate how informed I feel as a parent- they are quick to let me know of any concerns, situations from the day, or funny stories to share. I also feel confident in the safety of my child with their check in/out procedures, passcode secure door, and checking IDs of grandparents or other adults picking up kids. They're also very accommodating of kids with special dietary needs, like my daughter being lactose-intolerant (thanks Ms. Martha!) Thank you to everyone at Kids World, who play a huge part in shaping our girl into a smart, confident, and good little human!

The teachers are not only knowledgeable and skilled, but also patient, love and always take the time to understand and meet each child's growth and well-being. Their outdoor playground has lots of space and is great for kids to play. The classrooms are set up very nicely by Montessori curriculum and everything feels very secure. I was impressed with the security level they maintain and the communication with parents that they foster. My kids love to go to school every morning, I feel confident and grateful knowing my kids are in such good hands. I highly recommend to any parent looking for a school that combines excellent education with compassionate care.

Who knew applying to preschool and elementary gives the same pressure and stress as finding a…read morecollege? I'm not saying we are a Rancho Christian lifer, but I will say our experience in both the preschool and elementary school have been positive. After researching, talking to parents, and finally touring a couple of the Temecula schools, we enjoyed the fact that Rancho provided an environment that felt safe, enrichment classes that we felt were important (such as the arts), and also included a space for our kids to grow academically and spiritually. *PRESCHOOL REVIEW* We initially toured the preschool, since my daughter was not yet potty trained (and in order for her to proceed in her age level preschool, she would need to be fully potty trained). This wasn't entirely alarming since most preschools in the area have a "mandatory" deadline, which honestly can be stressful on parents. Both my kids "eased" into it; I've always believed that potty training should be a gentle transition and encouraged, not pushed. What set Rancho apart was the partnership that the admission team provided with us, recommending she start in the summer enrolled in the "Little Tots" program, which would provide her in a 3 month setting that eased her into the routine. Ms. Annalise was an amazing summer school teacher. She was in tune with what our daughter needed (especially since she was switching childcare). During the fall, she switched to Ms. Faith - another amazing teacher who also provided a safe potty environment. Soon enough, she was transitioned over to her grade level class with Ms. Jem and Ms. Shilpi. Three smooth transitions over the course of a year speaks volumes of the staff. She loved all of her teachers, and the app that the school uses - Brightwheel, provided a snapshot of their potty, eating and pix/videos for the day. The only thing I wish is that preschool and elementary somehow used the same platform to streamline communication and forms. Apps I had to download for the school are: -Blackbaud: for all application school forms, tuition/billing schedules, etc -Brightwheel: preschool only app for updates/communication -Band: Elementary school app for updates and communication Pros and Cons: Pros: -Rancho is an excellent communicator via Brightwheel/IG/FB/Email. It's easy to get a hold of someone via phone/Brightwheel, they are responsive which is important as a parent! -After a certain time in the morning, the entrance on the side of the school (closest to the preschool is closed), you will need to go to the front of the school and pass the guard check-in gate. I personally love this since there are measures in place to check any guest that comes in after a certain time. -Each parent/guardian is provided with a check in code. This is used to sign in and out of preschool at the front office. -Great school events and staff -Love that our daughter gets to see her brother (who attends elementary) at some of the school events! -Chapel: our daughter looks forward to chapel Wednesdays. Every preschooler has a blue chapel shirt; the service is age appropriate, while providing them with a spiritual baseline. Cons: -The exit gate isn't always closely monitored. There typically is staff around the area to keep an eye on anyone exiting (along with any kids trying to get out), but this could be better. -Summer school logistics was a little chaotic. And this comes from being a first time Rancho parent. We were unsure of where to go for early drop-off or late pickup. -Preschool feels siloed, I wish there was more cohesion between Preschool, Elementary and High School. Overall, we love the fact that our daughter has had a good experience with both the staff and her classmates. We feel that our voices are heard if there is ever an issue, and that for the most part administration is also visible and pleasant to communicate with! Will post our experience with elementary soon!

We had a deeply disappointing experience at this preschool. We chose it because it claimed to be…read morerooted in Christian values and guided by the fruits of the Spirit--but sadly, our time there reflected none of that. The environment lacked warmth, compassion, and consistency. Communication was poor, and it often felt like the staff were overwhelmed or simply going through the motions. Since leaving, our child is like a completely different person--happier, more confident, and finally excited to go to school each day. His new school is everything we had hoped for: it's run with care, competence, and a true passion for early childhood education. The teachers there clearly love what they do and it shows. I wouldn't recommend this preschool to families looking for a genuinely nurturing, faith-based foundation for their little ones.

Both of my kids had the joy of being in Ms. Michelle class at her previous school, and when we…read morefound out she was moving to a new preschool, there was no hesitation , we followed her! She is truly the most caring, patient, and loving teacher we've ever met. From day one, I knew my kids were in good hands with her. The new school itself is absolutely wonderful: always clean, bright, and thoughtfully set up to make kids feel happy, safe, and excited to learn. Every corner is designed with children in mind, and it shows. One of the best signs for me as a parent? My kids don't want to leave when I come to pick them up! They're having so much fun with their friends and with Ms. Michelle that they always ask for "just five more minutes." That tells me everything I need to know. We are so grateful to have found such a beautiful place and an incredible teacher like Ms. Michelle . Thank you for making school such a joyful part of my kids' lives!

It is very clear that Ms. Lianne has a passion for shepherding young hearts and creating a safe space for them to flourish! The teachers know the kids, care about them, and they are great at coming alongside families when challenges arise or milestones are to be celebrated. The classroom is clean, the kids are learning academically and socially, and the community of fellow parents is awesome! We are so thankful to have found Sprouts Montessori for our little ones!

Beni is truly amazing. My daughter absolutely loved going there and always came home happy, well cared for, and loved. Claudia would do her hair, make sure her skin was moisturized, and pay attention to the little things that matter so much to parents. My daughter even learned some Spanish, which we loved. But more than anything, she was genuinely nurtured and cared for. Beni has been nothing short of a blessing to our family, and we will always be grateful for the role she played in our daughter's early years. I cannot recommend this daycare enough!!

The owner is one of the warmest, most caring people I've met--always willing to work with you, flexible, and incredibly responsive. They serve home-cooked meals every day--breakfast, lunch, and snacks--and everything is nutritious and healthy. I'll never forget the green pancakes on Thursdays, packed with greens like spinach and still a hit with the kids! The environment is bilingual (Spanish and English), which was such a gift--our family doesn't speak Spanish at home, but our son was able to pick it up naturally just by being immersed in it every day. On sunny days, the kids would go outside to play or, with parent permission, even enjoy the pool. They celebrated every birthday and held parties for holidays and special events, which made it feel like such a joyful little community. We're so grateful for the love and care our son received there. The entire team is lovely, and it's a place filled with warmth, play, and learning. Highly recommend!

ABC also puts a lot of effort into their events and celebrations--they never skimp out on festivities. Everything is beautifully decorated. Parents are always welcomed and encouraged to join, which helps create a strong sense of community between families and staff. Another thing that stands out is how much they invest in their staff culture. Even on staff development days, the team seems positive and enthusiastic, and that energy carries over into how they care for the children.

Every day, we felt connected to what our child was learning and experiencing. We especially appreciated how genuinely they cared for him--not just as a student, but as a person.
