You know, teachers that actually taught you words in 1st grade, like "Responsibility" and how to apply them. Teachers that would become your best friend later in life, and I quote "As close as it gets to being a son". Teachers that were role models, inspirations, and best friends... And on that note, RIP Pat Roldan... I think the only complaint I could possibly have about this school is... it's too close to the wash. The balls would always fly in there if we weren't careful with our aim and strength.

But, for the past 5 months I've brought this up multiple times to the teachers and tutors and my child still has been failing 4 out of 6 classes. They don't check homeworks and when they do, it's still wrong. When brought to their attention, the blame is put on the child instead and do not own up to the inefficiencies and deficiencies in their system and their staff. If you want an after school pick up baby sitter for 3 hours, this is the place for you and kids. However, if you're looking for an after school enrichment program for your kids, please look elsewhere. If you're still considering this place, ask for a sit in and see for yourself what kind of place this is.

Happy Day School was the best kept secret of San Gabriel Valley area cities had ever had. This…read moreschool was run by the Steffey family for 3 generations. 1946 through 2026. It was run as a private school, Nursery through 3rd grade, but complimented the area public school system as an All year around curriculum including the famous Summer Camp Program. There was none like Happy Day School. Period. I personally found this school in the yellow pages back in 1993 for my daughter who needed a 1st grade class opening. No other school around had an opening, except Happy Day. We joined the summer camp program and she found her 1st grade class that September. She even learned how to swim there! A classic Coppertone commercial kid :) Teachers, teacher-assistants were so attentive and met all the needs of a child making new friends at school. The value of this place for a working parent was undeniably superb. For the child, it was home away from home. Since it was year around, my daughter spend all of her summers here, until high school and becoming a camp counselor before she went off to college. She loved this place! Thank you to Pam, Karen, and most of all Mr. Ron for the wonderful memories Happy Day has given us. Much blessings to you and your family!

Anytime we had a concern all of the faculty addressed them with care, empathy and concern. I truly felt we had a partnership with everyone there at our school. While every child is different, I know that our kiddos thrived there and are looking forward to coming back for summer camp in 2025! Thank you to everyone for giving our children a strong foundation to start on their academic journey!

My kids came from a Montessori school and I wanted to continue the same curriculum. My kids had such an incredible experience at Oneonta and are still there! As a mother of 3 kiddos, I loved that all the teachers knew the kiddos names right away and would communicate frequently via the dojo app, whether they were photos of their activities, classes, and even events when my husband and I couldn't make it to an event at school. From Ms. Theresa to Ms. Vangie, Ms. Carol, and Ms. Maryann, plus Ms. Fiona and Ms. Christina, it's been easy to communicate with them throughout my kids' education. They offer the STEM program and knowing that my kids are being taught these subjects will help them prepare for middle school and up. Coming from a catholic school and public school background, I was impressed by what the school had to offer with the activities/field trips/science fairs/math and spelling bees, plus a fun summer program! It's sad to know that my daughter will be leaving as soon as she finishes 5th grade, but I'm glad my kids have that foundation from Oneonta. :)

It's a small preschool which I prefer for small group learnings and less sick time. My kid loves going to school every day and he loves all the teachers there.

The character limit of Yelp is what limits the good things I can say about this school. When I went…read moreto check out the school with my very shy daughter, on the very first moment, Ms. Janice was able to overcome her shyness and got her to start immediately playing with the children in the playground, and then fall in line to use the restroom and attend class. It's a Christian school, and you can feel it in the air. It feels warm, kind, loving, the kids are happy, laughing, having fun, engaged, interacting with each other and the teacher. Everything about this school is amazing, staff, spirit, layout, decoration, loadout. The director is very considerate, the playground is well shaded, to prevent kids from burning themselves in the sun, the ground is a form of rubber mulch, I think. There's plenty of little kitchen houses, a slide, and a couple of titter-totters. The dense playground also allows a single staff member to effectively watch ALL the kids, and I saw it happen, Ms. Nancy called out 3 kids, within moments of each other, the layout, combined with Ms. Nancy's eagle eyes was definitely impressive. Ms. Anna, saw that my daughter was having trouble communicating, and switched between 3 different languages to engage her. The class room is loaded with toys, and while they teach, they aren't harsh on the kids, each teacher I saw, had a very gentle touch, and the kids effectively can choose what they do, and how they learn. They also had cots for the kids, so kids can nap with a pillow and blankets lying down, instead of sitting up on a study list, or on a table. The pillows, blankets, and bedsheets are returned to parents Friday, so they may wash it over the weekend and bring it in Monday. Also, of all the schools, this school was the most proactive and concerned about health, to this day, the children are still required to wear masks. The minute they walk into the building, their temperature is checked, and their shoes are sanitized, then, the children have to wash their hands. They plan make masks optional in July, but, for them to have had those policies for this long is a good thing. Personally, given how often and quickly viruses spread in school, I'm not opposed to this policy being permanent, but, to a certain degree, I understand. This school is perfectly aligned with my focus of child-rearing for my child at her age, which is a combination of fun, socialization, curiosity, basic education, health, safety. I couldn't ask for anything more. My child goes into school happy, comes home happy, and that makes me VERY happy. I toured this school first, and this school has set a bar that no other school can meet. Every other school had soulless, sad, dejected kids, studying for college at the age of 5, but this school, laughs, smiles, little monkeys running around, doing their thing, not a care in the world, screaming along as teachers ask them to recite their ABCs. I'm a single dad, I don't really know much about girl stuff, I do the best I can binding my daughter's hair so it's not in her face, and I send it off. Ms Janice would re-do her hair, with all sorts of accessories I didn't even provide, and she'd come home like a princess. She went in depressed because my ex thought it was a great idea to butcher her hair with a bad haircut during a visit, and Ms. Janice's re-styling of her hair erased the pain my ex caused her. Also, my daughter keeps showing up with snacks and toys on a weekly basis. Like... WOW? I wished I had that growing up, I don't think any other school would do this, and I cannot imagine this place turning a profit. Also, other parents tell me that this school's meals has spoiled their children for public school. They whine about how the new school's food isn't as good. At this point, you're like... "For real?", yeah, for real. One of the best decisions I've ever made. This school was a blessing, and I hope it stays around for a long time, so more people may benefit from it.

Note that we were interested in the Mandarin program, so my observations shared here are mainly based on that aspect. This model should be replicated nationwide. Growing up, my parents had to choose between a public German immersion school and our local parochial school. They prioritized faith, which was the right call, but at All Souls, parents don't have to make that compromise--you get both! Dr. Allison is the principal, and after multiple conversations, it was clear how much he "gets it." He has an extensive background in education, and seems like exactly the person you would trust in charge of a growing and thriving school like this. He instills confidence. We met with teachers, parents, and staff, and everyone is kind and the teachers seem like great educators. The classes have very good teacher-to-student ratios. The weekly schedule is better than essentially all other schools, including early release on Fridays (perfect time to schedule doctor appts, dental appts, music lessons, etc.) and Mass only every other week (which is smart because it doesn't burn the kids out on it). Also, it is a very food-allergy-friendly school, with no nut/peanut classrooms TK-2 just to name one thing. For anyone weighing the benefits of language immersion against a faith-based environment, All Souls proves you really can have both without compromise.
