Just as I predicted, now I'm getting messaged by the care provider, Stella, still talking about the only part they can possibly fabricate. But what they're completely ignoring is the fact that they didn't do their job by not picking up my daughter and finding out through school staff that they've been consistently late. I really hope they get their priorities straight and work on actually doing what they're paid to do, because if they had, none of this would have occurred in the first place. I also hope they realize their continuous and unwanted harassment only exposes the nature of their shady characters. 11/9/2017 2PM Harassment by the same complete stranger, who keeps insisting he was somehow invisibly there at the incident, has been continuing. I can't fathom how he was able to witness what took place when he wasn't anywhere in my bf and my sight at the daycare facility. Unless you're at the doorway, you can't see what ppl are doing because the kitchen and living room are blocked off by walls. So these polar opposite accounts he continues to claim he witnessed are almost laughable. It's ridiculous that my family and I are having to deal with this because we never told Stella to NOT do her job and cause this to happen. So as if that wasn't enough, now she's telling lies to her friends (or whoever it is) and having them harass me. Just because he's in denial that he's harassing me doesn't justify his actions. I communicated it very clearly to him that his msgs were unwelcome and continuous & unsolicited msgs are a harassment. I wish I had recorded what happened and I'm sharing all msgs exchanged because I have nothing to hide. I made certain I made no hand gestures, didn't use any profanity and kept my voice low. I know I didn't do anything to deserve any of this inconvenience. I really wish the daycare provider, her family and friends would stop wasting everyone's time behaving in such disgusting manners and work on their issues instead. P.S. I blocked this Reggie person for now (so I don't have to keep being bothered) but I'm sure they'll use someone else's account to resume their retaliation. UPDATE 11/9/2017 So it's 1:21 AM and I receive a notification that someone left me a compliment on my previous review. It was from someone I haven't even heard of, clearly a friend of the daycare provider, Stella Rodriguez and/or her daughter. This individual, who was obviously not present when the original incident occurred, wrote a msg with blatant accusations and denials of what I have written in my review. How is it possible for a complete stranger to claim what they never witnessed to be facts? It's not even logical and only tells me that Stella Rodriguez and/or her daughter coerced this man to harass me for leaving a negative but an honest review of what really occurred. Now I feel extremely concerned as to what else they're capable of doing or if I'll continue to get harassed for sharing my experience with this daycare facility. I really hope my family and I will not have to suffer even further for things we didn't cause.

Discovery Montessori Preschool is truly AMAZING! My son has been attending since he was only 2…read moreyears old. When he first started, he was really shy, hardly spoke, and would prefer playing and being alone, which was concerning me. However, my son soon began to excel. He's become more social and verbal, constantly learning new things and continuously showing improvement. When I pick him up from school, I love seeing how happy and comfortable he is playing with the other children. He now tells me about his friends and what he did that day, and sometimes, out of nowhere, he'll sing songs he learned at school. The teachers are incredibly kind, caring, and patient with all the children. They genuinely show how much they care for every child's development, well-being, and education. They are always willing to discuss any questions, recommendations, and concerns I or they may have. I appreciate it when the teacher not only informs me of his progress but also points out areas that he needs improvement in. The staff also helped me with potty training and were always understanding and accommodating to schedule changes. I have peace of mind every day when I drop him off, knowing he will be safe, well cared for, and in good hands. I completely trust my child in their care. I 100% highly recommend Discovery Montessori Preschool to any family searching for a high-quality, reliable preschool where children are encouraged to learn and develop. Thank you so much Ms. Nilani, Ms. Dishani and Ms. Ayanti! You are all greatly appreciated!

I recently returned to work after having my son and was extremely nervous leaving my kids in day care as they had not been in a child care center before. My 2 year old daughter had always stayed with family before having my son so adjusting to a day care center was nerve racking for me. Mrs. Edith made the transition so smooth and both of my children are well adjusted and LOVE being there. Now, I can go to work and not worry at all throughout the day if my children are being cared for properly. My daughter is also learning so much! We were worried that she wasn't going to speak any time soon(she is almost 2), but she is already starting to talk! So pleased with this child care center! Highly recommend!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cherry Blossom. My grandchildren have been attending for…read moreover 3 years, and the impact they've had on our family has been truly incredible. One of my grandchildren had some behavioral challenges, and the support, consistency, and care from the staff made such a difference. What I reinforce at home, Cherry Blossom carried through, which has helped create stability and growth in the best way. During potty training, the teachers were patient, encouraging, and supportive--it made what could have been a stressful time so much easier for all of us. Both of my grandchildren absolutely love their teachers, and that speaks volumes. The preschool and TK programs are outstanding. One of my grandchildren was fully prepared for kindergarten and did so well, and my other is heading into the 2026-2027 school year more than ready thanks to the strong foundation they've received. As a single grandma raising my two precious kids, I am beyond grateful. This daycare isn't just a place we go--it's family. Thank you for loving, guiding, and supporting my grandchildren every step of the way.

Have another baby coming and when that time comes I hope I will be able to put my baby there when needed. They also do very cute things when holidays come around.

I am extremely disappointed with our experience at Montessori of Via Verde. My three daughters were…read moreenrolled there, but we were forced to leave after an upsetting and unprofessional incident involving my 16-month-old. At drop-off one morning, I informed the teacher that my baby had a dirty diaper. The teacher responded in an irritated tone and insisted it was diarrhea before properly checking. While changing her, the teacher removed all of my daughter's clothing--including her clean shirt and jacket--and refused to give them back when I asked. During the diaper change, the teacher handled my daughter in a manner that made her visibly uncomfortable and distressed. My baby was crying and clearly upset. When I calmly asked the teacher to please be more gentle, my concerns were dismissed and both teachers in the room became defensive. When the director, Ms. Haydee Galvez-Diaz, was called in, she immediately sided with the staff without listening to me. Instead of addressing my concerns about how my child was being handled, she asked the teacher if she felt attacked. I then asked Ms. Haydee if we can speak in private. As I'm trying to explain the situation that just occurred, She raised her voice, told me I was "not happy here," said she thinks I needed to find another place for my children, and walked away, slamming the door in my face. As a working mother, I left in tears and felt helpless because I had no immediate childcare alternative. My baby was picked up within a few hours and never returned. I have since removed all three of my children from this center. No parent should be treated this way for simply advocating for their child. Instead of professionalism and understanding, I was met with hostility and disrespect. I would not recommend Montessori of Via Verde to any family who wants to feel safe, heard, and supported.
