Choosing Children's Courtyard at Newbury Park for our speech-delayed son was one of the best…read moredecisions we have ever made for him. We enrolled our almost nonverbal 18-month-old son here in 2023, and we will forever be grateful to all the teachers and staff for their continuous support, compassion, and incredible patience. All of his classroom teachers--Ms. Holly, Ms. Orianna, Ms. Leehe, Ms. Kala, Ms. Savannah, Ms. Summer, and all the other wonderful teachers--along with Ms. Anne and Ms. Ginny, have been incredibly supportive and caring. They took care of our son with the utmost sincerity, kindness, and understanding. They always made him feel safe, included, and encouraged him to participate and connect with others at his own pace. When our son first started here, he had significant social anxiety and was almost nonverbal. Over the past 2.5 years, we have witnessed an incredible transformation. He started TK this year as a happy, confident, highly social, and very chatty little boy! He has not only made tremendous progress in his communication and social skills, but he has also grown into such a kind, caring, and thoughtful child. What impressed us most was that the teachers never gave up on him. They celebrated his small achievements, encouraged him through his challenges, and created a warm and nurturing environment where he could grow and thrive. Their dedication and genuine care made such a meaningful difference in his development and confidence. We truly believe that the love, patience, encouragement, and support he received from everyone at this daycare played a huge role in helping him become the child he is today. We could not have asked for a better place or a more caring group of teachers to be part of his early years. We will always be grateful to Children's Courtyard at Newbury Park and to every teacher and staff member who has been part of our son's journey. We wish this school and its wonderful team nothing but the very best and wholeheartedly recommend it to other families!

They help Nicole so much in terms of growth and education, and I'm sure they do the same for all the children. I am so happy that my daughter goes to this school with all these excellent teachers.

You can tell how much the director Ms. Shannon loves this school and all the staff and kids. We started our two girls here this summer before school started to get them transitioned in. They absolutely love the school and all the teachers and their friends there. Our two year old is in with Ms. D and our 4 year is in with Mrs. Amanda and Ms. Ruthie and they both love their teachers. Honestly we love all the staff they are always so sweet with our girls and saying good morning and bye to them and so welcoming especially their first few weeks when they were sad at drop off. They now can't wait to go to school each day. Everyone is so caring and attentive and we honestly couldn't have found a better spot for the girls. Highly recommend!

Instead of a rigid curriculum, the teachers build lessons around the children's interests, encouraging curiosity, problem-solving, and collaboration. It's been amazing to see how much confidence and independence my kiddo has developed through hands-on exploration, art, nature, and open-ended play. Class sizes are small and all the teachers know each child well. They take the time to understand your child's personality, strengths, and needs, and they communicate regularly with parents about what the children are working on and discovering. If you're looking for a preschool that values creativity, emotional development, and genuine curiosity about the world, this school is a special place. The sense of community among families and teachers makes it feel warm and supportive, and we've been so grateful for the experience.

We love Roots and Wings Preschool! From the moment we…read moreenrolled our daughter, we've been so happy with the care the staff puts into the kids everyday. The teachers and director don't just watch over the kids--they truly love and nurture them. You can see it in the little moments: the gentle way they comfort a child who's having a tough day, the thoughtful questions they ask to spark curiosity, and how they always make time to connect with each little personality. Their curriculum is outstanding--it's thoughtfully designed to foster learning, empathy, and kindness in such a natural, play-based way. Every activity feels purposeful, whether it's building social skills through group play, exploring emotions during circle time, or diving into hands-on projects that get those little minds buzzing. My daughter comes home excited to tell us what she learned or who she helped that day, and it's clear the environment is helping her grow into a compassionate, confident kid. She's made some wonderful little friends here, and looks forward to attending school.

Our daughter is about to start her last summer program and start TK next year and we're really sad this chapter is coming to an end. The center has taken such incredible care of our kids over the past few years and we're so glad our son still has another couple of years. The staff is amazing and it truly feels like home. Our daughter is currently with Ms. Cherry in the pre-K class and we love her so much. She's a great teacher and has a wonderful way of keeping the kids on task. She's the perfect combo of kind and loving but also keeps the kids in line and on schedule. Miss Irina is the director and she's basically family at this point, as is her Assistant director miss sandra. They do a great job at always being available to talk and support any needs you or your child might have. They never make you feel rushed or like your opinions aren't important. We also have had such a great experience in Miss Kim's 2 year old class. She's amazing and you can tell she truly loves her job. Thank you Moorpark Kindercare for the years of love, supporting and teaching our kids, and providing a truly nurturing home for our kids as they grow.

What sets TEC apart is how well it is managed. They have been educating young children for many years, and that experience is evident in every aspect of the program. The campus is spacious, with multiple playgrounds that the children rotate through, giving them plenty of variety and opportunities for outdoor play. The school also offers several on-campus extracurricular activities that families can enroll in, and music class is included with tuition. My daughters participated in dance, gymnastics, and soccer, and absolutely loved every one of them. They were constantly engaged, excited to go to school, and never bored. Academically, I was incredibly impressed. My girls learned so much--from the alphabet, colors, shapes, and animals to songs, early math concepts, and social skills. They came home almost every day with art projects and classroom activities, so I always knew what they were learning and felt confident they were spending their days engaged in meaningful, enriching activities. As a mixed-faith family, we also appreciated that our children learned about Israel and Jewish traditions. It was incorporated thoughtfully into the curriculum without overshadowing everything else. I would estimate it made up about 10-20% of what they learned, which felt like a great balance for our family. The teachers truly made the experience exceptional. Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Maddie, Ms. Jamie, Ms. Fabi, Ms. Rachel, and Ms. Alyssa genuinely cared about the children and created warm, nurturing classrooms where the kids could thrive. Their dedication was obvious every day. The administration deserves recognition as well. Ms. Debbie, Ms. Keri, and Ms. Jessica consistently went above and beyond to keep the school running smoothly. They were always responsive, professional, and willing to help whenever we had a question or request. Their hard work does not go unnoticed, and I know many parents appreciate everything they do behind the scenes. Like any school, there were a few areas that could be improved. The no meat or chicken policy made packing lunches more challenging than I would have liked, and there was some teacher turnover during our time there. However, teacher turnover is something we've encountered at other schools as well, so I don't believe that's unique to TEC. I was also excited to hear that the school is reducing class sizes to 12 students starting this year. I think that is a fantastic change that will make an already strong program even better. Overall, TEC provided our daughters with a safe, loving, stimulating, and educational environment. They formed wonderful friendships, gained confidence, and developed a genuine love of learning. We are incredibly grateful for our time there and would happily recommend Temple Etz Chaim to other families looking for a high-quality preschool.

When our circumstances changed, we promptly provided three months' notice. The daycare withheld the full deposit with no option for refund or credit toward future drop-in care.
