Ms Peggy's Response to my review proves that what I wrote is accurate. Instead of showing any kind…read moreof humility, she has doubled down on gaslighting me. I never stated anything about whether your facility was is compliance with state licensing regulations, which are the bare minimum requirments for all licensed child care facilities and nothing to be bragging about. You say things like that your policies are "clearly communicated," with no such explanation of what you mean, when I provided factual details and pages of "critical context." You have now accussed me of "repeated concerns regarding hostile communication and ongoing disruptive interactions with staff." For the prospective families reading this, I implore you, Ms. Peggy, to define what your definitions of "hostile communication" and "ongoing disruptive interactions" and "combative" are. I also give you permission to state what dates and claims about me you are even referring to, but make sure to to include "critical context" without being "inaccurate" or "misleading" when doing so. Parents need to be aware that you were never around during the incidents I described, so you have no basis for knowing whether anything I described was inaccurate. I asked a lot of questions that your staff didn't like and 1st I was called "rude" for it and now that I documented my experiences, you are trying to label me "hostile." Shame on you. This is basic mean girl bullying and the wrong way to respond to a review because it is not 5 stars.

Before returning to work, my husband and I toured several infant programs from Granada Hills to…read moreWoodland Hills. Coincidentally, Stoney Point Montessori was the second-to-last school on our list that day. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. They were friendly, straightforward, and transparent about their infant program. As we entered the infant classroom, what stood out to us most wasn't the teachers--it was the children. They were calm and busy in the way only young children can be. Most importantly, they genuinely looked happy. The teachers were attentive and naturally engaged with the children. They didn't seem like they were simply clocking in for a job. They truly looked like they enjoyed caring for the children. After our tour, the staff encouraged us to visit our final school and come back if we were still interested. Funny enough, after finishing that last tour, we drove right back to Stoney Point Montessori. As a parent, it's incredibly hard to leave your child each day, especially when they're only six months old. Although I have to say, it becomes easier knowing he's in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. The entire staff is warm and caring, and Ms. Swarna has been absolutely amazing. She has never made me feel like my son is just another child in the classroom. Instead, she makes it clear that she genuinely cares about him and his well-being. Every staff member radiates kindness, and I feel incredibly fortunate that we were able to secure a spot in their infant program.

The reason we decided to enroll my son here is because of Mrs. Swarna from the infant class. We…read moreknow her from our previous daycare. Needless to say things didn't work out there, aside from the fact that Mrs. Swarna had left. We made the wise decision to follow her. She took care of my son as an infant and continues to watch over him here at SPM. She is simply wonderful and we are very lucky to have her in our lives. My son is now graduating but he has had the most amazing experience this past year and a half. Ms. Nilu and Mrs.Gayanthi- thank you so much for everything! Our son has learned and grown so much because of you! He is always so excited to go to school. What more can a parent want. I guarantee that if you decide to enroll your kids here, you won't regret it.

I knew how loved he was when he would gesture to go back in their arms. I can't say enough good things, mostly, I'm so happy my son has a safe and happy place away from home. They have a happy playful environment where kids can learn to be helpful, kind and smart in a very emotional way. I've met the other kids and they are so sweet with my son. They have nicknames for him and tell me stories. That's a testament to the environment they are raised in. Our kids at here for long parts of the day. To know that when you pick them up they are happy and content makes all the difference. Robin was quick to respond when we reached out and made sure to contact us right away when she had a spot available. Our decision was easy. Thank you so much Robin and her team of wonderful caregivers.

We give Robin's best 10 stars! Robin's Nest is a parent's dream come true. You want the people who…read moretake care of your children to truly enjoy and cherish them, and most of all, nurture them. That's exactly what you get at the Nest. It feels like dropping your kids off to be taken care of by family, it's small, and cozy, and so much fun! The kids have an awesome flow and structure to their day and they get to do so many fun things. From daily art and science projects, sensory bins, singing and dancing, amazing activities like visits from baby farm animals, puppies, water play, and fun holiday parties. My first child was a pandemic baby, she was severely shy and afraid to be away from us, within a couple of months at the nest, her true personality blossomed, she is now in TK and was chosen to be the speaker at her holiday performance, and can already read. I completely attribute these achievements to her time at the nest, where her true potential was developed. My second baby runs in every morning with joy, he has been there since he was 3 months old and has loved every minute of it. He loves his friends there and he loves his teachers, he's always so excited to tell me about what project he is working on. And we wouldn't have chosen to have a 3rd baby if we didn't have this amazing resource, the Nest is truly "our village", and we can't wait for our newborn to start going this summer! I wish Robin would start an elementary school so we could just stay with them for another decade. Love you ladies!

They also integrate the family into some of the activities for holidays. They are also reasonably priced and actually provide food and snacks that are super healthy. Almost too healthy, lol. My daughter brings her own snack and they allow her to eat that as well. I also love that there are a variety of race and ethnicities there for her to play with which is helpful for when she transitions to Elementary school. She looks forward to going every week and didn't have that attitude towards her daycare AT ALL. Definitely recommend Tiny Thinkers.

Our son just graduated Tiny Thinkers Preschool and is off to TK at a different school and just…read moreafter being at the other school for a week - which is also a paid tuition program - I felt the need to come back here and leave a honest review considering how superior the other school's experience has been just with a slightly higher tuition. Our son was at Tiny Thinkers for over 2 years or so - There are definitely things Tiny Thinkers does well, which is why we kept him at the school -- our son did progress in life skills, for example like potty training, He did learn, the kids seem happy overall, and the campus itself has potential to be fantastic. There's a lot of heart here, and when things are done right, the children benefit from it. That being said, there are areas that really need attention to match the tuition and expectations. Communication and accountability with the teaching staff could be stronger, particularly when it comes to child care knowledge and day-to-day standards. We've had to remind them multiple times about basics like keeping the kids clean and presentable, which has led to several "coaching moments. Cleanliness is another point that could use consistency -- not just the facility, but the children's appearance at pick-up. The school would benefit from investing in more training for teachers -- not just in child development, but in creating an overall experience that parents love, not just tolerate. When teachers are well-trained in both child care and parent communication, it builds confidence so families can feel secure and supported without the need for constant follow-up. Parking can also be frustrating. Without a reasonable grace period for pick-up, parents can feel penalized for situations that are sometimes beyond their control. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is because there's definitely room to grow. The foundation is here -- the school just needs to buckle down on these operational details to truly deliver the level of care and professionalism families expect. I realize I'll probably get a diplomatic response to this review from the school director, but this isn't about diplomacy -- it's about truly hearing the feedback and using it to make changes. Just because something has always been done a certain way doesn't mean it's the best way. The goal should be to evolve and improve, not to explain away why things are the way they are.

Update review: 2.5 years attending…read more I have recently felt a need to write an updated review, especially as I see new families touring the school. My oldest daughter will be leaving TLC next month to attend elementary school and I will have one last child transitioning to Ms. Mitra's older group (4+). I could spend days writing about each lady and how amazing they have been with my daughters at every stage of their growth from infant (Ms. Swarna and Ms. Maryam) to toddler (Ms. Nina, Ms. Crystal, and Ms. Elizabeth). All of the ladies including others I have not mentioned have made my daughters feel loved and heard as opinionated toddlers now. Specifically though I want to highlight Ms. Mitra, my daughter Sofía has been with her for this past year and has grown immensely academically and socially. She is the much needed structure that older little kids need. Ms. Mitra has done an AMAZING job preparing my daughter for school. She has learned everything that she needs and more to excel in kindergarten. As a teacher myself I understand the work and countless hours that one spends at home preparing for her students. I know that Ms. Mitra puts in 120% into everything she does and teaches our children. I am beyond grateful for everyone at this school and can't imagine not having all of these great ladies supporting my children but they will have to grow and move on. For those considering this school, you cannot find anything better and most importantly piece of mind that your kids are well.

Really disappointed about the new workers they're hiring.

DISGUSTING attitude, I came to get my son and as he was in high chair needing help to get out she ignored him kept folding blankets until I had to ASK HER to help him, she did it with ofcource a NASTY GROSS ATTITUDE. Has me thinking how are you treating him when I'm not around??? My son use to be so happy to go to daycare!! Now he cry's every time we drop him off since this new lady is there. She definitely shouldn't be working with kids... Ms. Zakia the 2nd teacher in that class is the sweetest teacher that loved my son as her own! I wish they cared of the people they would hire because now I need to change daycares due to these new changes.

In comparison to surrounding facilities, we love the size of every room and how comfortable they keep the room temperatures for each season. A big plus for the heat in the valley. They are spacious and nicely decorated. The school does a number of events for every holiday and is so detailed. We always enjoy seeing the little ones dance and have fun. We are very happy with Rainbow ELC.

And in about 6 months my youngest will join too - so that says a lot about this place. My kids have always been happy to go in in the morning (with the occasional separation anxiety with my youngest, but the staff handles it very well and she has always been happy to see her teachers) and happy when they come back home. My two older kids that are now in public schools will still ask to go for the day any chance they can get. Literally , this Monday they are all going because schools are closed for thanks giving and the preschool is open. Which is another great thing. The kids have educational learning, indoor and outdoor playtime, sensory play, dress up, arts & crafts and in general, interesting diverse schedules; as a parent, you will get a monthly calendar of what is done each day with highlights of the month. The staff is very kind and the owners are such nice people. You can tell that they really care about the kids' wants and needs. I love that they're always open for suggestions, or if you want to do things in a specific way, they will always accommodate to the best of their ability. I have been part of the preschool for the past three years so this review is long overdue. I have been very pleased and I know these days it's hard to find good preschools. I highly recommend Dreamworks Preschool. Thank you Jessica & Reina for all you do
