    My daughter started at Christina Kent in 2023. She was in their busy bee pre-k class. Today she…read morecontinues to go there in the Lion class as she continues onto kindergarten, which are times her APS school is closed but Christina Kent is open. She has thrived since attending Christina Kent and is a whole different child. All the staff and teachers at Christina Kent are amazing. I am so thankful to Theresa, Andrea and Gabby who are some of the best humans I have met. They are so patient, kind and treat our children as their own. Sandra, Allison and Andrew are part of the staff and are also so amazing. It's a great community and their approach to help raising our young children is nothing short of exceptional. I have nothing but great things to say about the school and if anything wish they continued onto elementary.

The office staff was very helpful in showing me the facility, helping me to fill out the paperwork, and navigate the enrollment process. The building is easily missed from the outside, however once inside, you feel the warmth and love for the children from everyone from the cooks to the teachers. They truly love these kids. The teachers are kind, empathetic, patient, and treat each child with respect. My daughter loves her class and her teachers. They teach farm to table and family style dining, which is reflected at home. My daughter has tried a large variety of foods and enjoys almost anything I make now. They are intentional with their fieldtrips and their classroom activities. She is beyond ready for kindergarten, and I am very sad to leave the Christina Keny Community. I highly recommend this school!!

    After touring several daycares in the area, I chose Kids Korner. It is one of the best decisions I…read morehave ever made. It is such a clean, organized center. The teachers all treat my son as their own. Not only do they take incredible care of the most important person in my life but they have all been there to support me as a single mother. They have been there to listen, offer advice or simply be a shoulder to lean on. I had to move recently and I specifically chose the house I did, to keep my son in Kids Korner. I could have got a house closer to work and moved him to a daycare more convenient in my commute but instead I back track to KK and then back the opposite way to work every single day. I absolutely love Kids Korner and all of the employees. They genuinely care. I am able to call during the day to check on him. They all know and pay attention to him so well that they know as soon as he is getting sick. Even if there is a small incident, they tell me about it. When he was still in diapers, he would get rashes so easily. He needed to be changed right away because his skin is so sensitive. He never came home from daycare with a rash. Not even one!! They have even assisted us with potty training as well! My son and I are so blessed to have them in our life! He will be going to Kids Korner until he is too old to!

We re-enrolled our kids, hoping Sunset Mesa's policies would change for the upcoming year. One week before school starts we receive an email that masks will be optional indoors for unvaccinated elementary students. A parent asked Alan Mask what it would take for him to reconsider his decision and he said that it would take more parents complaining, which goes to show that Sunset Mesa is weighing their bottom line against your child's well being. Delta variant cases are increasing as we speak, but Sunset Mesa wants your money! Sunset Mesa is a business, and your child's well being comes second!

    Since it's so hard to find good review for Albuquerque preschools, I decided to help. If you're…read morelooking for a good preschool for your kids, Sunset Mesa is an awesome choice. Why do I like Sunset Mesa? Mainly, unlike other preschools in the area, Sunset Mesa tries hard to be an actual school. Instead of me paying to have someone keep my daughter distracted with Sesame Street and sugary drinks, they try hard to teach her something. Since starting at Sunset, I've noticed that both her reading level and math skills have improved dramatically. My daughter also really enjoys the other students since the teachers keep fighting and bullying out of the classroom. The childrens' parent seen to be mostly Sandia employees or military. Also, a child has to be at least two and potty trained before the school will admit him or her. The price is steep compared to other places in Albuquerque. To me, the place is worth the money. Preschool is definitely somewhere a person gets what they pay for.

    If you are at all affiliated with the University of New Mexico, (and I have a friend who audits one…read moreonline course a semester just to gain access to this place) this is a facility that is unlikely to be matched for a couple reasons. First of all, they have an unfair advantage in facilities. There's not a lot of day cares that can afford such an institution with about 9 age-segregated buildings a giant court yard, 6 age-segregated playgrounds, and a full office staff without state subsidies and student fee. So take advantage. There is a primary teacher and about two assistant teachers per room and the kid to teacher ratio is well below state standards. The facility is very organized and they have a long term development plan which goes from infancy through the Pre-K program (which thankfully got some of it's funding cuts returned.) Kids leave this place with extremely good communication skills and are able to verbally resolve conflicts and express feelings and needs maturely by the age of four. They also seem to be very well prepared academically for public kindergarten. The prices are on the high side of moderate but not out of the vicinity of other top daycares around town especially with the student discount. There is a significant waiting list of about 6-12 months so I recommend putting your new-born on this waiting list and several others even if you don't intend to start daycare for another year or so. My five year old started here when she was about 1 and a half on a drop in schedule and moved into a half day by two and eventually a full day. She always had a good time and never once complained about not liking it there. She had several wonderful teachers that still know her and me by name. They still offer before and after school care for kindergarten but we've decided to try other places. My two year old went there for about a year and loves her teacher and I think the feeling is mutual.

    I found it interesting how the business responded to the influx of negative feedback on their…read moreGoogle reviews - they disabled them. Each time myself or another parent shared a poor experience on there, the replies came across as cold, generic, defensive, and frankly gaslighting, lacking any genuine empathy or understanding. Unfortunately, my in-person experience matched that tone exactly. The atmosphere earns a 1/5 at best. The building feels far more like a sterile clinic or office than a warm, inviting elementary school or preschool. The outdoor play area is extremely small and limited, with very little equipment for the children. Even small details like Christmas stockings with typed and stapled staff names suggesting high turnover, and awards displayed on the walls that are all several years outdated gave the impression that things have declined and aren't improving. Those old awards seem to be up there for a reason: nothing recent to replace them with. The staff interaction was the worst part, warranting a 0/5. I found them consistently rude, condescending, and disingenuous. They gossip openly about the director and each other in front of kids and parents. If your child is remotely unsettled, you're called to do an early pickup. Staff do not seem to enjoy their jobs, and it shows. You'd see kids walk out from the day with mucus dried and crusted from never being cleaned during the day. During a visit, I observed teachers chatting among themselves for several minutes while a young child slid down the slide and hit their head at the bottom and only got attention once he started crying. My own kid was injured quite badly by the teacher which is why we disenrolled immediately. My kid used to HATE it here, cried every day about having to go, and wow I can't imagine why. What struck me was how indifferent the staff seemed toward families leaving. When we decided to withdraw, there was no curiosity about why, no attempt to understand our concerns, and certainly no effort to retain us. It genuinely felt like it didn't matter to them whether we stayed or left. That complete lack of care or investment in the families they serve spoke volumes. This similar observation was also echoed in another Google review that's also now gone. Practical issues only made things worse - parking is severely limited, turning drop off and pick up into chaos with constant car horns and aggressive maneuvering. The overall operation felt disorganized and unwelcoming from the moment I arrived. I'm genuinely baffled that this place had a waitlist. We quickly found a much better option just down the road- one that actually feels like a school, with engaging play spaces and genuinely kind, warm staff. My kid LOVES the new school and is thriving there. I'm just sad that this was our first experience in a learning environment when there are clearly MUCH better options. I didn't even get into everything like the complete and utter lack of communication. Even for free, I wouldn't consider it worth the time or stress. Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere.

My son cried for weeks, I got calls/texts everyday for early pick up. Several times I found him sitting on the floor or on the swing, crying by himself. I felt that they are massively understaffed. Some of the teachers are kind, nice and caring but they are overwhelmed. We found the nido leadership to be rude and incompetent. They implied that something is wrong with our baby and maybe he will need special care/attention. One of them said she "has not seen a baby who has so much social anxiety in her whole career". Anyway, we moved to a different daycare, my son took two weeks to adjust, he likes the teachers there and is thriving now!! We are actually glad that Montessori One didn't work out for us.
