My daughter has been attending Schoolhouse Downey for about 5 months now, and it has been such a…read moreblessing to have her learn and grow under Mrs. Valerie's care. Mrs. Valerie has tons of experience with preschool kiddos, they are always doing fun crafts and outdoor/play activities. And on top of that, she has a very organized and impressive curriculum, so this is not "just a daycare". My daughter loves that she gets to dance, do yoga, eat yummy pasta and play with her friends every week! And as a parent, of course the number one concern is safety, and I feel truly blessed that I know she is in good hands and that she is 100% safe with Mrs. Valerie. I am also thankful for Mrs. Valerie's support and special attention as my daughter transitioned out of pull ups and began learning English (we speak a different language at home). We recently went on a two week vacation (that was filled with beach and pool days, everyday!) and she asked several times when she goes back to Mrs. Valerie, so she definitely is doing everything right at Schoolhouse! Mrs. Valerie is a very supportive and caring teacher, and I highly recommend her.

I was so happy to see that by baby was so exited to go to school on her days, she loved her teacher and her friends and came home with beautiful work that I will cherish for ever! THANK YOU Mrs Valerie for being so kind, caring and such an amazing teacher!

We are so grateful to have found and be a part of the MAOD community!…read more Where to begin with my review- I'll start from the beginning, after touring several pre-schools in the area, my husband and I were convinced MAOD would be the best choice for our daughter. From the very beginning when inquiring about information on enrollment and space we were always greeted courteously and warmly by the school's administrator, Veronica. Setting up our initial tour of the school was easy and we appreciated that we got a tour from one of the teachers who would be working with our 4 year old, so it was nice getting to know her a bit and asking her questions. During the tour, it was great being able to see all aspects of the school not just the areas assigned to their pre-k students but also where the infant area is, the kitchen where lunches/snacks are prepped the restrooms, playground, classrooms- everything! We also had the opportunity to ask questions about the schools teaching methods, curriculum, and experience of the teachers with Montessori so upon all of this, my husband and I made the decision to enroll our little one at MAOD. After 5-6 months of enrollment, we really are very satisfied in having brought our daughter here. It wasn't a smooth transition, there were days/weeks with lots of tears at drop off, but her teachers were patient and flexible with her needs, and I am happy to say she is doing great now. We love that the classes are small and there are two teachers per pre-k class. As parents we get a monthly newsletter with what's to come for the month and I always look forward to seeing her interpretations of different artists for "artist of the month" and hearing from her what she learned in school everyday. Most of the teachers are bilingual so it was a huge plus for us as our daughter is primarily a Spanish speaker which brings me to my next huge plus- in a matter of just a few months her English has improved significantly! We are amazed at how much English she speaks now compared to when she started. One of the other big pluses about MAOD is their incorporation of Montessori principles and we always love seeing when the kids are learning by doing. Her teachers, Ms. Patty and Ms. Sinttia are truly wonderful! They both have their special way of connecting and nurturing each student based on their needs, we truly appreciated how they each adapted to our daughter's needs as she transitioned into school full time. My daughter loves them both and won't stop talking about them at home. The app the school uses to communicate with parents is great too, I love that teachers update with pictures and important announcements consistently. Overall, we would definitely recommend MAOD to anyone looking to enroll their child in a ECE program. So much so that we will definitely be bringing our little one here when they are old enough to enroll in the future. I hope this review will encourage other potential families to check out MAOD, as we believe that it is a truly nurturing and caring environment for little ones as they begin their early childhood education. Thank you, Ms Veronica, Ms. Patty, Ms. Sinttia, and all the teachers and staff who have made this experience wonderful!

I was a little nervous about the transition at first, but the teachers are so kind and caring that it quickly put me at ease. My daughter had been struggling with her speech very early on, and since moving into this next age group she has continued to blossom even more. All of the teachers genuinely care, you can truly feel it, and it shows in the kids. Even though she is still new to the school setting, her transition into the new class was very smooth. Ms. Ale also incorporates home projects, which I really appreciate. As busy parents, it's a nice reminder to pause and spend quality one-on-one time with our little ones, nurturing their creativity and helping them grow. We've really enjoyed the first two projects and I'm grateful for the opportunity to slow down and focus on that special time together.

The staff is the reason why we haven't moved location (They are THAT GREAT that we find the commute here worth it for our child!) The learning aspect is amazing as well! For context my child is in the toddler program and is constantly learning and coming home showing us what she learned today. She is very savvy when it comes to her colors, animals, counting, etc! The best part is that this location is very active on the application! So you can download the app and get updates all day long ! And the staff is very on it.

Ms. Lilia, Ms. Anay, and Ms. Jocelyn are amazing and my son has enjoyed being in their classroom so much! Ms. Helia and Ms. Julia keep the parents up to date on everything and are always available to answer any questions.

From the beginning, I've noticed that all of the teachers are very kind and caring with her. Her teacher, Miss Robledo, has been especially wonderful. She always keeps me updated through the app with messages and photos, and that gives me so much peace of mind throughout the day. I transferred my daughter here from another daycare because our experience there was very different. She used to complain a lot, cry too much, and never wanted to go. Almost every time I picked her up, her little eyes looked teary, and as a mom that was very hard for me. At this school, it has been a completely different experience. My daughter seems much more comfortable, and I truly appreciate the kindness and attention she receives. Ms. Robledo, Ms. Cruz, Miss Amanda, Ms. Bustos, and all of the teachers there have always been so sweet to her. It means a lot to know she is in a caring environment, and I'm very thankful for that.

Her speech got better and she was able to communicate more. She had a better pallet and loved eating more fruits and veggies. Her nap time was a breeze when she was home. It was just the cutest thing picking her up and her being so excited to show me that her teacher did her hair. I work hectic hours and sometimes my daughter's hair didn't get the attention it needed. I'd pick her up to see my daughter in the cutest hairstyles and it just showed how much these teachers and staff cared about the kids. I just absolutely adored this place and am quite sad she won't be attending anymore. Off to Kindergarten she goes but I can also say how easy the transition was because of Creative Beginnings. She was so excited for Kindergarten and it's been such an easy drop off. I love how much more independent she's been.
