We adored the preschool above for years that our children have attended and it was an easy choice for the academy starting when we saw the class ratio in kindergarten. I knew my daughter would receive the time she deserved from her teacher and her reading/writing/and math have grown so much in a short time. The curriculum is great and I love the extra recess the students get compared to regular public school. The staff is wonderful and so friendly to everyone. They have done so much to provide an excellent education especially during a pandemic and to keep the kids happy each day.

She began in their infant classroom at 9 months and is now in a toddler classroom (currently 22 mo), and both classes have been fantastic. My husband and I appreciate their thoughtful approach to "educaring," using a well-trusted philosophy by Magda Gerber (RIE approach), and we've seen our daughter flourish under the extremely well-equipped teachers. One of the things we appreciate the most about this program is that there is absolutely no tech use for the children in any of the classes. This was a huge deal for us, and we drop her off every day with the peace of mind that she will spend her entire day reading beautiful, classic children's literature; playing actively outside with her friends; learning fun chants and songs to engage her growing mind; and working on creative and hands-on art projects that encourage healthy motor development. Choosing to put our daughter in childcare was an extremely hard decision for us, but we could not have been proved more wrong about its benefits for our girl, especially here at SLOCA. We are so thankful. We're excited for her to continue moving up in the classrooms and experiencing the rest of the awesome education here.

This is a review for the daycare/preschool programs at SLOCA. Our experience has been phenomenal…read more My daughter started in Tiny Wonders during the pandemic and is finishing her first year in the preschool program right now. From start to finish, developmentally, she has flourished. We saw a noticeable change in her language as soon as she started, and since then, she has learned to share, use her words to talk about her feelings, work through conflict, put on/take off clothes, independently eat her lunch/snack, and more. She has developed friendships and relationships with the teachers. SLOCA is not only incredibly competent curriculum-wise, but they are amazing human beings. They are truly a family. When my dad died, I was greeted with hugs and tears and was told that I did not need to complete my volunteer hours that semester. My daughter's teachers even came to her third birthday party. All of the staff, teachers, and admin are warm and caring. And the children feel this! Huge shoutouts to Miss Alana, Miss Debbie, Miss Sutton, Mrs. Molly, and especially the program director, Mrs. Eades. Incredible incredible humans. I have so much love for SLOCA and am excited for my son to start there in the fall!

Also my brother agreed to be his mentor, that application was pretty extensive. My son is smart, not a trouble maker, not a drug user, just extremely lazy. He failed 3 classes, all classes needed to graduate. I am a single mom and struggle to work with my son to do better in school. We drove down to San Luis Obispo on Saturday June 3rd. We took the tour. From everything they told us, this was a perfect place for a person like my son. We live in Santa Clara, this is a 3 hour drive each way. Just over a week ago, the girl from GYA office called and told me I needed his social security card. I told her that I could get it before the program started on July 15th. But I just couldn't get it done. She was very rude and told me to apply again for January. I was taken aback by this. I hung up. A few minutes later, the guy in charge called me back and said he "overheard his intern" and wanted to tell me that it would be fine to get the social security card later, because I had his Ca Id, the birth certificate and everything else. So, this past Sat (yesterday) they had a physical fitness test for the students. I called and emailed to find out what time it was. Again, the rude girl. she said he couldn't go to the physical fitness test unless he was accepted. The result of this phone call was that they wouldn't tell me until Friday! The day before the test. I called and emailed Friday afternoon. The rude girl called back and just said, "his application is denied". I asked why and she said, "we don't give a reason". Well, I will take this as a sign that GYA is not right for us. During the tour they never give the impression that the student will be denied. They appeared to be looking for students just like my son. To be denied with absolutely no reason, a little tough for this mom who is doing everything she can to raise this boy who just needs some structure and discipline. Maybe they could be a bit more up front before one starts the very extensive application. Being a charter school who depends on funding, maybe someone with a bit more understanding and compassion to be the person on the other end of the phone would help this mom not write a 1 star review.

It exceeds all of our expectations and is reasonably priced compared to others in the area. Here are a few of our favorite parts about VVCC. 1. Structure! Previous schools would switch out teachers depending on how many children were in class that day. Which left my daughter feeling insecure in her environment. VVCC reliably has the same teachers daily no matter the class size. 2. Cleanliness! Hand washing is prioritized upon check in. Before my daughter can join the class, the school asks that I take her potty and to wash her hands. She has not been sick at all this year. At previous schools she got hand foot and mouth, stomach bugs, and respiratory infections. 3. Flexibility! My daughter is crazy hyper and strong willed. Her teacher works with my daughter concerning her struggles and gives her different options to help her cope in the classroom. At other schools she was forced to be just like the other kids or leave. They really work with the children individually while still teaching them discipline. 4. Lots of family events! I never knew any other parents or friends at other schools. Here, we have family friends because there are meet and greets, harvest festivals, book readings, and holiday programs. 5. Learning letters! I love the curriculum they use to introduce and teach the pre-K class letters. They assign animals to a letter to help the children remember and my daughter uses that daily as she does activities at home. 6. Spanish immersion! The pre-k class gets Spanish lessons on Fridays and my daughter is picking up so quick! 7. Healthy snacks that change for diversity! 8. Great toys that are changed out weekly! Their outdoor play is large and has great options as well. 9. My daughter LOVES it. We wish we would have found VVCC sooner! Check them out, you will be glad you did .
