Miss Angela is truly one of a kind. She goes above and beyond to ensure my daughter is learning,…read moregrowing, and becoming well-articulated. Every week my daughter comes home excited about something new and creative she has learned. As a parent of multiple children, I can honestly say I have never witnessed a teacher who cares as deeply as Miss Angela. She has a unique ability to blend Montessori principles with a strong academic curriculum, and the results are incredible. My daughter can spell, read, write, and confidently work through mathematics. She is starting kindergarten this year, but thanks to Miss Angela's dedication and teaching style, she is already understanding concepts at a first-grade level. If you intentional about your child's academic foundation and future success, I cannot recommend Bloom enough. The journey to a love of learning begins now, and Miss Angela provides the perfect environment for children to thrive.

A litte over a year ago when we first started finding preschools for our little girl, I remember…read morelate at night getting a text from my wife asking me "hey! check out this place!" I tapped on the link and remembered thinking to myself, "Woah. All these 5 star reviews and some are even as long as essays!?" After reading all the raving reviews we called and left a voicemail wanting to get a tour. The classroom was spacious, clean and has a lot of natural lighting which was excellent because it didn't feel like your kiddo is locked up indoor. She also showed us the books and the scientific toys kids would play. Different toys had different teaching functions, not just purely for playing, which was nice. That was our 4th tour and after speaking for over an hour getting to know Miss Angela's teaching philosophy, we enrolled. Choosing a good preschool for your child is one of the first biggest decisions we all have to make as new parents. So I really wanted to take the time getting to know who is teaching my daughter. Not just what they are teaching, but who they are as a person. For children at this young age, the number one thing I am looking for in a teacher is patience, kindness, empathy, and compassion. And let me tell you, Miss Angela is one of the kindest and most empathatic person I've ever met. You just feel so secured and comfortable knowing your child is in the best hands. In terms of her academic programs, Miss Angela teaches different themes for each month. For example, during spring months she will teach about the nature, bugs, butterflies, lady bugs, etc. In class they will raise a butterfly from an egg, to caterpillar, to a chysalis, all the way to an adult butterfly. My daughter loved the lady bugs she got to bring home. Then, at the end of the month all the parents and the kids get together watching the release of those butterflies into the wild. Not sure what the future will look like for our kids with AI in the mix, but I love that Miss Angela focuses on teaching the kids how to think and how to ask the right questions. I can go on and on and on but really once you get a tour with Miss Angela you'll know what I am talking about. It's been a little over a year, and I am now the one who's writing a 5 star review for Ms. Angela and Ms. Jen lol. But I really want to spread the word like so many other parents before me. I hope this review helps all you parents out there

I've had my son at this school since June 2022. I toured several daycares/preschools in the area…read morebefore choosing this one. Firstly, the location and classrooms are fantastic. A lot of daycares have small, musty grounds that seem uncomfortable for children to be cooped up in all day, but the Montessori Academy of Chino has HUGE, open, sunny classrooms with plenty of space for the kids. The entrance is secure and the sign in/out process is easy on their device (no annoying sheets to sign every day). Their outside area is gated and faces away from the street, so it also feels very safe. Secondly, the staff are attentive. Outside of the classroom, on the rare occasion I've had an issue, the director or owner have communicated quickly and directly. Inside the classroom, the teachers are nice and seem like they enjoy their job. They have plenty of fun activities for the kids and are wonderful about having special events! There is occasional turnover, but that is to be expected with any early education center. The main teachers have stayed consistent which is great for the kids. Overall, our family simply loves this school. I can't thank them enough for all they do!

My daughter loved going to Heartwood in Montclair! The one in Montclair has a small number of…read morestudents in the school and small class sizes. It was a peaceful and clean place. There were always new manipulatives such as shapes on a table with light under it, to aid in my daughter's learning process. She was always learning but it was all through play. She would tell me about her friends there. She had a lot less tantrums at home too, because she always had a great day at school! The teachers were so kind and understanding about child development. The cost is competitive and so worth it. The only thing that didn't work for me was that I wanted someone to do all the potty training for me. The potty training was the bane of my existence as a parent because of the stressful experience I had with my first child. My child wanted to take her time, which was my only worry, because I wanted to make sure she was potty-trained by the time she entered TK, and because of my busy work schedule, I couldn't potty train much. They work with the parents to potty train, and because I wasn't ready to potty train her they didn't push it much for her. I would say to most parents in the area- send your kids there and you won't regret it! Compared to what I've seen and experienced with some other amazing preschools, Heartwood was a true gem!

I have taken my child to this daycare for the past 7 months now. I heard about this daycare from a…read moreteacher I knew. She has brought her 2 children here since her first born. One is now 5 and the other is 3. Knowing she has brought both of her children gave me a peace of mind because it meant she really does trust them. I started bringing my child once she was 1 years old. As a first time mother, I was really concerned about who I can trust with my child. I'm super protective.. Before I heard about this daycare, I was searching for other daycares around the area. My daughter never smiled at other daycares. She seem serious and just checking her surroundings. Once we checked out Heartwood, as soon as my daughter saw the director and other teachers around said hi to her, she started smiling and laughing.. That was a big win for me! She normally doesn't smile with strangers but she was smiling with teachers and the director here at the daycare. This made me feel like she felt comfortable and felt like the vibe was good for her. I checked everything out and it was as I expected; clean, organized and safe. I loved everything about this daycare. During the first days of drop off, my daughter did cry the first 2 weeks when I left but after that, she was ok. Now, she waves goodbye and enjoys going to school. As a peace of mind, during the day, they send you notifications about her daily activity and any important messages. Overall, this is a great Daycare! I highly recommend it. I hope telling a bit of my story will help you decide this is the right school for you and your family. You won't regret it!

So I searched and searched and visited daycares. All of them either too pricy or sketchy, or just felt like a business. Not at all what you get at Gateway. The first moment I visited the site, I was greeted by Miss Stella, very assuring that my child would be safe in their care, she asked if I was looking for someone or looking for enrollment. I could feel the mother lion in her demeanor! I know my child would be in a very safe space, and a safe place it very much was. I could see how the staff, teachers and director would greet my son, and myself include after the first visit. The price here cannot be beat, and with that said, you can never put a price on the type of love and care they provide the children at Gateway Academy. Ms V and Ms O are my sons teachers at 1 yr old now, and I could never think of changing to another day care based on how I see they treat and teach my son here. It is a beautiful place for children to grow and assimilate into a social learning environment. Thank you Miss Stella for making a daycare feel like a second home for my son. I cannot recommend this place enough, if you have a newborn coming or currently looking for your toddler, look no further if you live in the area (or 30min away) because this is it.

My infant son (4 months) will be attending as well. Gateway has a great curriculum and they do so many fun activities. They provide lunch 3 times a week if you opt into that option. Your child will recieve homework in preschool and now my daughter is more than prepared for kindergarten. I wish I could shout out every teacher there bc they have all been there for my daughter in one way or another. She is always excited to tell me about her day. I always feel like the main concern is my daughter's safety. I know how hard it is to leave your baby in someone else's care and I truly recommend Gateway for that reason. The staff is extremely responsive especially when incidents occur, Im always in the loop with my child's behavior while she is there. Can't thank Ms Stella and Mr Robert enough for always been there for me with all my "silly" questions or concerns :) They offer summer care and after-school care as well which is extremely helpful for me as a full-time working mom. There are no cameras but you will be constantly updated with messages, videos and photos on the app the daycare uses. I know this review is long but I wanted to include everything I looked for when researching daycares.

Our family has appreciated the excellent care our kids have received for nearly nine years. The teachers are warm and caring, and develop strong relationships with the children. Kristy, who has been running ECC for many years as the director, is responsive, attentive and a pleasure to work with. ECC teachers enjoy the work they do, and plan engaging and enriching activities. They do lots of age appropriate activities every day: arts and crafts, singing, reading stories, outside/inside free play, walks, circle time where they focus on letter and number recognition and for the older preschool classes Spanish Circle. There's a good mix of activities and my kids have had fun while developing skills that prepare them well for the transition to kindergarten. I'd highly recommend ECC to any parents looking for daycare or preschool for their kids. They do a fantastic job and create a warm, welcoming and caring environment for the kids and parents alike.

When he first started he did have to adjust -- I'm assuming it's because of how big the class is in comparison to his previous daycare. But it didn't take long for him to blossom, all thanks to Ms. Tonja & Ms. Lorraine's class! Then he moved to Mrs. Jennifer & Mrs. Cassie's class the following year, and he absolutely loved it. When we had to travel during my husband's paternity leave to visit my parents in Asia, he kept asking when we'd go back because he'd missed his friends and teachers. We clearly see the genuine love that's poured towards the kids not only from the teachers, but also the staffs. Not only they remember each of the kids' names, they also give hugs (and stickers, ha) on the daily basis. The principal is also very involved, which we appreciated. Would highly recommend anyone to put their kids at CPCC-- it's worth the wait and every penny. Can't wait for the baby brother to join in a couple of years!

My concern is specifically with the director, not the teachers or entire staff. I understand that…read moredealing with conflicts between children and families is not easy, but that is also why someone in a director position needs to remain neutral and consistent and not make decisions based on personal relationships with the families. There is a difference between enforcing school policies and personally involving yourself in a conflict based on emotions or assumptions. This became especially concerning in an incident involving a child who was repeatedly being bitten and hit by another student, resulting in bruises and eventually a fear of going to school at all. While I understand there are procedures the school must follow when addressing incidents between students, my concern is with how the director handled the situation beyond those procedures. From what I witnessed, she became personally involved and appeared to let her own emotions and assumptions influence her response rather than remaining neutral. All in all, my takeaway is that if your child ever has an issue involving another family at this school, I would hope that family does not have a close relationship with the director. Based on what I witnessed, I would have serious concerns about whether both sides would be treated equally and without favoritism.

They also go above and beyond to create special days and events for parents, which helps us feel truly included in the school experience. One of the things that gave me the most confidence as a parent was how excited my daughters were to go each day--they would often ask when they could go back to school! That joy and eagerness made it clear they were not only learning but also truly thriving. Honestly, if they offered elementary school, I wouldn't think twice--I'd love to keep them in an environment like this for years to come. The peace of mind and confidence I've had every day dropping them off is something I'll always be grateful for. Highly recommend!
