The teachers are caring, attentive, and truly take the time to get to know each student. We appreciate the smaller class sizes and the strong communication from the school. Our child has grown academically and has also become more confident. We love that faith and character are incorporated into the school day in a meaningful way. The campus community feels welcoming, and it is clear that the staff genuinely care about the students and families. We are very thankful to be part of the Southlands community and would recommend the elementary program to families looking for a supportive, Christ-centered school

My daughter attended this preschool for one year in the preschool program. Her classroom teacher…read morewas wonderful, caring, and one of the few positives about our experience. Unfortunately, our overall impression of the school and several other staff members was disappointing. One experience that really stood out involved a teacher named Esther, who teaches the 4-5-year-old class. While she may appear friendly at first, our experience with her was very different. One morning, my wife was holding the security gate open for an elderly grandfather who was walking into the preschool. Instead of appreciating the situation, Esther immediately yelled at my wife to close the gate and began lecturing her. Even after my wife explained that she was simply helping an elderly person enter safely, Esther continued to scold her and insisted that the grandfather could open the gate himself. We found her response unnecessarily harsh and lacking basic compassion and professionalism. Another concern was the school's annual Jogathon fundraiser. Families are encouraged to donate money, and children who participate receive a special T-shirt. Staff members then visit the classrooms to celebrate with those children by handing out small toys and snacks. We chose not to participate because we already pay significant tuition and did not feel obligated to make an additional donation. Later, the school sent parents a video of the celebration. Watching it was heartbreaking. My daughter was one of the children without the fundraiser shirt, and she was left standing in the back while the other children celebrated together. She was essentially separated from the group because we didn't donate. Regardless of the purpose of the fundraiser, I don't believe young children should ever be singled out or excluded based on whether their parents contribute financially. The children have no control over those decisions, and schools should make every effort to ensure all students feel included. I'm glad we ultimately decided to move our daughter to another school. While we appreciated her classroom teacher, our overall experience left us disappointed, and I would not recommend this preschool based on what our family experienced.

She has been wonderful and she sees the talent and shortcomings of each individual student and works accordingly with them as far as I have experienced. We were brand new to Rowland Heights and didn't know our way around but we live VERY close to the school, so I had my daughter walk home on her first day because of my work schedule. Well, she got lost. The school responded immediately when I showed up at their office. Mrs. Kim, and a P.E. teacher who remembered my daughter (because she looks different than every other student) got in a car to search and the assistant principal called the district safety officer, who drove around in search. Everyone in the office was concerned and involved. Mrs. Kim was the one who found her because she noticed her curly hair. She called me right away. It was a very happy ending and I felt like the school really went above and beyond to help me find my kid. Other than that, we have had a great school year here. I like the informational calls from the principal and other faculty. They really care and it shows.

The younger grades laugh at us because Ms.Kim called us out. I'm a 4th grade student going to 5th grade. So far, it's not looking good. Once I went to the office because I sprained my ankle and I can't walk and the nurse just said, "You'll be fine have an Ice pack". How does an ice pack save a sprained ankle exactly? The after school teachers YELLED at us for being in the classroom when it's 43 Celsius (100+ degrees) outside. Some teachers are kind, some aren't, for example; Mrs. Jamison is nice, Mrs Veronica isn't. Mrs Veronica wa disrespectful to my mother and I. Also, the principle said they not tolerate bullying when a young girl almost got pushed down the staircase. The janitor keeps blaming the boys for peeing on the the toilet paper especially the older grades. When I sprained my ankle because someone on the swings jumped off and landed on me, Veronica yelled at me for spraining my ankle and she said something like "Your skipping class! Your grades are gonna drop!" girl, I sprained my ankle and all you do is scold me? Take a hint. Don't get me started on the lunch, the rice is literally just a solid piece of beeswax and I saw someone choke on the rice. The chicken Alfredo isn't even edible.

Although we raised our son in an asian culture, we do not speak enough mandarin at home. We are amazed on how much mandarin my son understands via speaking, writing, and reading. I didn't think he will pick up much mandarin since we do not speak mandarin at home but we are so amazed on how much he knows. The faculty at Tzu Chi are very nurturing and caring. It's great the class is small so the kids get more attention and care. The school is very safe and they also organized a lot of school activities so we are well connected. My son looks forward in going to school everyday. He goes to the school with smiles and he comes back home with a even bigger smiles. This school has an enriched curriculum and I feel my son learns a lot from this school.
