I cannot say enough wonderful things about Best Learning Center after school learning academy! From…read morethe moment I walked in, I knew this was a place that truly prioritizes the growth and academic excellence of each student. The teachers are incredibly attentive, taking the time to understand the unique needs and strengths of every student. Their passion for teaching is so evident, and they go above and beyond to make learning fun, engaging, and meaningful. My 1st grader misses his teacher Ms. Emily when either one of them miss a day. It's clear that the center is dedicated to fostering a deep understanding of the subjects they cover, rather than just rote memorization. My child has not only improved academically but has also developed a deeper love of learning. One of the things that stands out the most is the supportive and focused atmosphere. The other children in attendance are equally driven and committed to their studies, which creates a positive, motivating environment. It's a space where kids feel comfortable asking questions, collaborating with peers, and doing their very best. Best Learning Center has truly made a difference in my child's academic journey, and I couldn't be more grateful! I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing, effective after-school program. Special Notes- 1. They are open on additional non-school days (sometimes). 2. They are open until 6pm which helps with my long commute. 3. They have transportation, but are also very close to Arovista Elementary. 4. They match school hours, even early release Wednesdays. 5. Easy to make payment and communicate with Brandon, the learning center director.

The teachers care about the students' well- being academically, emotionally and spiritually. The elementary curriculum is rigorous and since they are accredited you can rest assured the kids are getting a quality education. There are opportunities for students to engage in extracurricular activities such as field trips, festivals and theatre. My kids have made memories they will never forget. This campus feels like a family and they take into consideration any concerns or issues you may have as if the kids were their very own.

This review is my experience as a parent with a child previously enrolled in the preschool program…read moreat the Brea, CA campus. She was in room 15. I want to start by saying how much I loved Ms. Rolon and Mrs. Calabrese. They were always so welcoming and genuine. My daughter started in July, feeling confident this was the right fit. However, that quickly changed. My daughter's teacher (who I will leave unnamed) right off the bat, my husband and I felt didn't like my daughter, and my daughter felt it. High-strung energy and frantic energy are not good for young ones who are nervous to start. Not welcoming, and immediately made her out to be a "BAD" kid. I think it ruined her first preschool experience. Backing up, my daughter was born 4 months before the pandemic broke out and had never been in daycare or school, which was explained when we enrolled her. I was very transparent about everything when touring and signing up. Mrs. Calabrese, who gave us a tour, and who sold us. She was absolutely wonderful & genuine. Mrs. Calabrese left shortly after my daughter started so we relied on some of the staff and teachers. Which didn't provide us with much comfort. I strongly believe if your child doesn't fit the mold of their concept of a perfect child, there will be red flags that they will not welcome you back, soon. Not every child is the same and they did nothing to help with my daughter's social integration troubles. Which by the way, is completely normal and even more so since she is a Covid baby. More and more I researched and spoke to other preschools, Covid babies are showing delays since the world stopped for 2 years. I am not making excuses for my child and will be the first one to admit she is strong-willed and determined. Those attributes are wonderful if channeled the right way. This school is not for your child if your child shows any type of out-of-the-mold behavior. The classroom was absolute chaos, my daughter's diaper was always dirty picking her up, the wrong clothing was sent home often, and never once did I hear anything positive about my daughter doing well. Furthermore, we got a week's notice that she wasn't welcome back the next month, we were told we should keep an eye on some behaviors & get her assessed as she might have something wrong with her. Since then I have gotten 2nd, 3rd, and 4th opinions from qualified individuals, and think this is ridiculous & untrue. You have no idea, how horrible this felt, and I hope was a true intention on their end but I doubt it. What really bothered me was on her last day, we walked in to put her lunch bag away in her cubby and her name was already taken down from her cubby. It broke my heart because it proved how much they wanted her gone. Luckily, my daughter isn't old enough to understand it, but if she were older that would have been really awful to explain. Now, we have found a fabulous preschool (with the same ratio btw), and my daughter has made a full 360. The teacher is patient, loves kids, and really wants them to do well. Every child is DIFFERENT! Do better Heights Christian. Run this as a school, not a business!

She present herself as capable of supporting struggling students, but when it actually matters, especially in urgent situations like exam preparation, they turn families away. My son is in HONORs PROGRAM so being from private school to public school, and as a busy parent , I ask help from this center to guide my son in his academic however the gap between what is promised and what is delivered is significant. If your child needs consistent, reliable academic support, this is not the place. You may end up spending a substantial amount of money with little to no meaningful results.

Dongshin Preschool has been such a wonderful place for our family. My son attended for about 3…read moreyears, and my daughter currently attends as well. It truly feels like a one-stop shop for both educational and extracurricular needs, with a built-in, trusted facility that gives parents so much peace of mind. I love the structure, the Korean food, and the overall environment. Nothing about the school feels low-budget -- the programs, facility, events, and daily care all feel thoughtfully planned and well-run. We've also had great luck with the teachers, who have made our experience very positive over the years. Of course, like any school, not every parent will agree on everything, and some may have complaints. But in my opinion, Dongshin has a long waitlist for a reason. The only thing I would love to see improved is offering a bit healthier breakfast and snack options, although I do appreciate that meals and snacks are even included to begin with. Overall, we've been very happy with Dongshin and are grateful for the care, structure, and community they provide.

My 4-year-old son and my 2-year-old daughter had been at a different Korean Christian preschool in…read moreFullerton for the past 2.5 years and after my son moved onto TK, we switched my daughter to Dongshin a few months ago- and we LOVE it. She is in the youngest class for kids aged 2-2.5. There are about 12 students in the class with 2 teachers (6:1 ratio!), which is SO much better than the ratio we had before of 10:1 (teachers seemed overwhelmed at the previous school). Here, the teachers seem to love children and always have something specific and positive to say about my daughter. And if they do have any negative feedback, they say it in such an understanding, gentle way that is easy to receive as parents (we all know how our children can be lol but it's nice when they share it kindly). We also ran into a lot of people we know here at the school and every single person I spoke to sang PRAISES about this school and how much they love it. That says A LOT and my husband and I were reassured we made the right choice in moving my daughter here. We were SO impressed with all the hands-on activities she gets to do during the day, including weekly taekwondo to support children with their hand-eye coordination and gross motor skills, STEM days, sand play, share day, and so many other play-based activities that support their development. For Halloween, they even brought in a petting zoo, a truck/train that was driven around the school, a field trip to the fire station, and a whole barn area for the children to play in. This preschool goes above and BEYOND to love on the children and we could NOT be happier with this school! I also know their TK and Kindergarten classes are packed with students, because parents want to keep their children at Dongshin for as long as possible. I can see why! We also wanted our daughter to improve her Korean and since starting here in September, her Korean has improved SO much! And I love the Bible-based activities they do at the school - I am a firm believer our young children can learn so much about God and faith, and I can tell Dongshin operates under this same belief. At the age of 2, she even brought home an activity that showed the blood of the lamb on the door frames for when God "passed over" the Israelites' home during the final plague in Egypt. Amazing what they teach here! We were thinking about moving our home to be closer to my son's school but decided to stay where we're at mostly because we love this school so much and do not want to move our daughter out. It's so hard to find a trusted preschool for our precious children so we are not letting this place go until she moves onto my son's school! There is a really long waitlist (min. 2 years!) so I'd recommend putting your baby on the list as soon as he/she is born lol it sounds crazy but trust me, everyone wants the best for their children and this is it! I hope you love it just as much as we do! *Note: I was NOT approached by anyone at the school to write this review - we just love it so much and want to spread the news!

My son has been coming here for a year, and we decided not to enroll for the coming year. Is this…read moreplace not good? No, depends on your perspective on what good tutoring, or an good after school program should be. Below is my honest and unbiased opinions for your consideration. Pro: they do have capable tutors like Mr Andrew, Ms St Claire, but they are most effective on a one on one session which will cost you extra. The school always accommodates. Again, fees are on top of the regular tuition. Decent Art, Music, Foreign language Classes. Con: This school is not run by professionals with education background, trainings etc. The philosophy is that of Cramming the kids with class after class, and little room to spare. No playground, limited spaces for personal space. My son's biggest complaint was the loud noise in the so call homework room. Since all kids, who aren't enrolled in specialty classes are all in the room. So you guess it. Chaos... Lord of the Flies, and most of them are starving... Now if your child is struggling in school, and it is desperately to catch up? This might be the school for you. It is basically school 2.0. I can see kids from China, ESL , getting the extra boost here. Your kid will get improved grade, but essentially he is in school from 7 to 7. I guess that is a roar of the Tiger Mom thing, and just not this Asian Dad, but I never made it to Med school, so my opinion doesn't matter. Wish you all the best.

This was our family's first year at this school, and it ended up meaning so much to us…read more My son who just turned 3, had Ms. Orozco, and at the beginning of the year he was very shy and had a hard time adjusting. Ms. Orozco was so patient, warm, and encouraging that she made him feel comfortable right away. Over time, we watched him slowly open up, and before long he was actually excited to go to school. He would come home talking about her and everything he was learning, and it was such a joy to see how much confidence she helped him build. She truly helped him break out of his shell, and we are amazed by how much he learned this year. Ms. Orozco is truly an exceptional teacher. My daughter had Ms. Hernandez and Ms. Tan as she entered 2nd grade, and she was also a little shy because she didn't know anyone. They were so kind and supportive and really encouraged her to make new friends and feel like she belonged. We saw such wonderful growth in her throughout the year, both emotionally and academically, and that means so much to us as parents. It was clear that they truly care about their students and want to see them succeed. We also want to thank the front office staff, who were always great and made communication easy throughout the year. They were helpful, welcoming, and always pleasant to work with. The principal is also very attentive and approachable, which made us feel even more confident in the school. Overall, we are so grateful for the love, support, and dedication shown to our children this year. It was a wonderful first year, and we truly appreciate everyone who played a part in helping our kids grow and feel happy at school. We can't wait to see the kids continue to grow in this school system over the years to come

They say it takes a village...what better village than Arborland Montesorri!…read more Dr Chen and Ms Chen have created a wonderful place where kids can thrive and really come into their own. It's been a pleasure watching our kids grow under the tutelage of Ms Cole (and Ms Rokosz) and Ms Villaruel and her aides. Admin staff Ms Bree and Ms Kristine are great as well. One thing that stands out is the emphasis on public speaking and developing self-confidence through a variety of performances, events and daily tasks. Academically, expect your kids to reach higher (national) grade equivalency due to their strong course curriculum. Some things that we've grown to appreciate: - Variety of after school activities - Amazing teachers and staff - Convenient location for pickup/dropoff - Involved community via engaged students and parents - Lunch menu that kids actually look forward to eating - Annual events and performances It's unfortunate reading some of the negative reviews. What I've encountered has been nothing but positive feedback and a tribe of dedicated individuals who truly want to see your child succeed.

Now, he's confidently counting and writing numbers and he continues to make great progress every week he's now learning to read as well. The instructors are incredibly patient and encouraging, they really take the time to help him understand each step. What I love most is how excited he gets to go to his sessions. It's clear that the Kumon team has created a positive and motivating learning environment. I was worried about putting him in at 3 yrs old but he loves it there and he's only 4 now! I'm so grateful for their support and highly recommend Kumon of Brea to any parent looking to build strong academic skills & confidence in their child.

My soon-to-be 8th grader was going to this facility for over a year. Since they have a policy in…read morewhich parents are not allowed inside, the expectation was that the staff was going to communicate with me. Communication was never initiated on their end. I would have to ask about progress. The expectation we had was that my daughter was being helped in math and reading. Just for reference, there were times my daughter was allowed to enter Francisco's facility and walk right out with the new work. When I questioned her, she said it was okay. She said the tutors would review her work and let her know the following week how she did. We recently transferred to another Kumon facility closer to her new school. As soon as I met the owner of this facility, I knew Francisco ripped me off. This new facility utilizes an app to facilitate conversation between parents and staff. They also have regularly scheduled parent meetings to discuss the progress of the child. I never had one with Francisco. The new facility requires 30 minutes of one on one tutoring per subject. They require you to schedule a time to enter so that the facility has enough tutors on staff to meet the needs of the students. Francisco has a "drop in whenever" policy and I have seen his facility crammed with students with only a handful of tutors. Definitely not one-on-one tutoring. Sadly, now that we are about two weeks into our experience with the new facility, we have learned that Francisco and his staff didn't help my daughter as much as we expected. With the one-on-one tutoring, we have found that the Francisco's tutors allowed her to move on in a section without demonstrating mastery. It was nice getting those little certificates; however, they now mean nothing. I'll also add that this new facility charges the same amount but we got far more for our $$$. Lastly, I will add that Francisco tried to con me out of a whole month's tuition stating that Kumon requires that I pay for the whole month, even if I gave fair warning of our leaving in the middle of a month. I called Kumon HQ and the representative there said that it wasn't a policy of theirs and that each facility is independently owned and operated. I informed Francisco that he lied and that it wasn't Kumon's policy and that he was trying to squeeze more money out of me. He relented after being caught and I paid a prorated amount for the month. IF YOU THINK THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU, THINK AGAIN. I spent a lot of money here only to realize by going to another Kumon that there are better facilities. My daughter lost a whole year's worth of work and we are out $$$. This facility is a rip off.
