Our daughter absolutely loved her teachers, Ms. Celia and Ms. Sara, and looked forward to going to school every single day. Seeing her so happy and excited each morning gave us so much confidence that she was in the best hands. We are going to miss Discovery Preschool so much, but we can't wait to be back when our youngest daughter is old enough to attend. We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and wonderful memories our family has made here. We highly recommend Discovery Preschool to any family looking for a caring, supportive, and enriching preschool program!

St. Paul's Lutheran Preschool is amazing. Program Director…read moreRachel Peterson is incredibly dedicated--she truly goes above and beyond for the children. She organizes beautiful events and consistently keeps parents informed. The teachers are wonderful and very caring. My daughter Mikaela loved being in the Green Room with Ms. Hernandez and Mrs. Koung, who are both so thoughtful and nurturing. Now she is thriving in the Yellow Room. At just 4 years old, she can already write "Mama, I love you," thanks to the efforts of Ms. Perez and Mrs. Calderon. Teachers always communicate in app, which is so thoughtful. My mind is always at peace thanks to St Paul's Lutheran Preschool.

The teachers are all wonderful, and they always have great activities for the kids to go and get involved in. I've toured other preschools a few years ago, and most of them felt like it was just babysitting - when I asked them how the day was like, they just gave vague responses. Why I chose St. Paul's is that Rachel, the amazing Program Director, explained their curriculum (and they use actual books) along with what the kids would learn and go over. They also encourage lots of play and have centers for the kids. They also have a wonderful outdoor play area and play structure. They take into consideration too if it's too hot to be outside, then they'll have activities indoors. I also like that they have chapel once a week and get a really good Christian foundation. The teachers and everyone at the school is so attentive and friendly. They all really care for the kids. I can't say anything but good things about this school!

Every staff member is truly exceptional, and Dena, the director, is absolutely wonderful and amazing. It's unlike any other , and the love and care they put into each child's growth is truly unmatched. This school is more than just a place to learn--it's a place where emotional well-being, confidence, creativity, and problem-solving are nurtured every single day. The teachers are so dedicated and always go above and beyond. After we moved, my daughter talked about Kidworks and her teachers every day for six months during the transition. Even now, she still asks if she can go back. That says everything about how special this place is. At Kidworks, my daughter found her creativity and grew into the confident, amazing little person she is today. We wish we had more time there and that our second child could have experienced this magical place as well. If you're looking for a place where your child can truly thrive, look no further!

Dana is absolutely fabulous, so clearly experienced with all types of different kiddos, and really offered our son a loving space to be himself. Amy, the Director, is so communicative and generously spent lots of extra time with me whenever I had questions or was hoping to get support and input on his behavior at school. Kid Works is a really unique environment. I'm so grateful for the opportunity for our son to be outdoors and in a play based environment at this age. It was a great fit for him and our family. We will miss Kid Works!!

This review is for the west campus. My 2 year daughter went there for 5 months and never adjusted…read more She's a happy, loving, little girl, but she wasn't happy going there and became scared and fearful to go. In fact she never really wanted to go to that school in the morning. When I picked her up a few times, she's had scratches, cuts, one time a big deep scratch that left a scar on her face; which made me question if it was from an adult working there. What finally made me withdrew her almost immediately was she started telling us a kid was hitting her at that school, and when we asked the teacher aide, she lied to us. My daughter is currently at another school now and she loves it, she adjusted the first week and is happy to go and happy when we pick her up. I wish I took her someplace else sooner.

Please do not send your child here. My 4-year old daughter was bullied on at least 5 separate…read moreoccasions between September-October 2018. The director was not at all empathetic with our situation and indicated that we were either exaggerating or manufacturing the stories. My distraught daughter reported being: (1) pushed down to which the assistant teacher, Maria, affirmed; (2) spit at in the face to which the teacher placed the other child on timeout; (3) pushed to the asphalt ground and sustained abrasions on her knee/shin, of which the school denied happening; (4) slapped and clawed in the face with finger nails, of which the school again denied happening; and (5) pushed off of an outdoor slide and sustained a large bruise on her triceps. All these incidents were discussed with teacher and/or director. While the teacher showed some sympathy towards our daughter, the director had no empathy. Furthermore, she suggested that our child may have fallen elsewhere to sustained those injuries or that we may have asked manipulative questions to confirm our bullying suspicions. Such an accusation is a complete farce. We had a pediatrician and a retired forensic police officer look at some of the injuries that my daughter had. Both said these injuries were not self inflicted and could not have been the result of simple falls. More importantly, the injuries indicate an altercation with another person/child. The scratches on her face showed a two-finger nail marking and clearly indicated that my daughter was attacked by another. The bruises on her arm, given there location on the tricep and near her armpit, suggests that she was forcibly hit in the area. We took photographs of these injuries and presented them to the director. Her only response was that the incidents weren't reported by the teachers on duty so there was nothing the school could do. My daughter has been traumatized by the events at this school and their disregard for her personal safety. During these incidents, of which occured within a month of attendance, she has expressed a level of fear that no parent should have to see from their child. We moved to California from Washington D.C. before the 2018-2019 school year. While there we had our daughter enrolled in the Goddard School for the previous year. The Goddard School took great care of our daughter and instilled a positive impression of schools. She was so excited to returned to school after her summer remission. However, that excitment was shortlived due to the negligance and poor care she received at MCH. Once these bullying incidents started at MCH, my daughter would beg us to not take her to school. She would say, "I don't want to go to that school. I don't like Harper. Harper hurt me. Harper spit at my face." For a weeks, all I would hear is the name Harper and everything that was said indicated that Harper was the harrasser/bully. She spoke of other names but with only good repore, e.g. "I like Isabella. Isabella is my best friend." She would speak this way of many of the other kids, but Harper. Each time the name Harper came up, it was always followed by some form of abuse, physical harm, or emotional trauma. What's more disturbing is that the teacher or her assistant was instructing our duaghter to not report Harper to us as the bully. We know this only now. After withdrawing our child from this horrible institutuion for a few months now, she is only just telling us that a teacher told her to not speak foul of Harper... or in her words "Harper not hurt me. I fall myself. I hurt myself. Teacher tell me Harper not push me. I don't like Harper. She push me and I fall." Does that sound right to you? Why would a four year old child say that another child didn't hurt her and that she fell on her own or hurt herself. Then in the same sentence, say that the other child push her and she fell as a result of the push. It would appear to me that someone at the school was rehearsing with my daughter on what to say. Specifically, someone was telling her to tell me that she fell on her own, hurted herself, and the injuries she suffered were not from Harper. I'll tell you this school is full of deception and instructed my daughter to lie. Please do not send your child here. This place is a nightmare. Beyond the bullying, the only activity my child really did was draw parallel lines within the outline of a shape. She knew her alphabet, numbers, and shape prior to attending this school (Thank you Goddard School). The progress she made while in the school was little to none. If you are looking for a safe place for your child, this is not the school. There's no security and any person can just walk into the school grounds. Again, the director could care less if your child was being bullied or victimize in some way. If you are looking for a school that educates your child, challenges them, or keeps them safe - this is not that school.

When we first met ms…read moreJeanette before we moved here as we were relocating and it was a huge change for all of us, I felt her kindness and true passion for Christ centered learning immediately. All the teachers are fantastic and my children have a love and admiration for every single one in their own way and we could not be happier. The kiddos are all great and become our kids siblings away from home and I feel incredibly blessed to have a community that make my kids feel safe each and every day. We are eternally grateful for their schedule and even though sometimes I don't want to follow the rules I know my kids need the structure and routine and foundational skills that they learn here. Their growth and learning in a pair of months is something I truly cherish and I do not take any school decision lightly. No hidden costs or anything that isn't reasonable. Their program is something I cannot recreate even if I tried with two working parents and limited time. Highly recommend it is a gem!

They have many wonderful memories and lots of artwork on the walls that they created here. The teachers are very caring and patient and consistent. But like many daycare/schools not every teacher/child match up is a fit. One of our child's previous teachers no longer works there which was a relief when we asked for our youngest to NOT be placed in her class. She was very negative, constantly had an angry look on her face and my son was kind of scared of her. But she was most definitely the exception to the rule as the many other teachers we were contact with were great. The tuition is fair and lower than many other schools we toured. Not the cheapest but definitely not the most expensive. We have experienced 2 different preschool classes here and overall are very satisfied. Angie at the front desk is always very welcoming and is your go to person for any question. My only suggestion would be for the school to update it's payment systems and accept debit cards for tuition payment. Thanks!

This school provides a diverse environment that changes based on student interests while providing play based lessons that introduce the students to topics and skills that they will need for kindergarten and beyond.

Stellar! Thank you for being an exemplary preschool.
