    My daughter attended this preschool from age 2 until she began kindergarten in fall of 2023. She…read moreloves this school, and still talks about how much she misses it. My daughter started in the Butterflies class at age 2, and moved through the classes until the Owls, the oldest class. Her teacher in the Butterflies was the perfect transition from being at home with me, to going into a classroom for the first time. Her warmth, understanding, and patience were (and still are) unmatched. The Director of the school is very communicative, she thrives on parent feedback, and I truly believe does everything in her power to ensure a safe and welcoming environment In the preschool. Like all daycare, childcare, and preschool facilities, of course there will be some issues that may come up. I've heard of only 1 such occurrence in the last 4 years, and it was dealt with and is now a non-issue. The only reason I'm mentioning such a thing is because of a recent review that I couldn't disagree with more. All the staff there is happy to be working with children, so smiley and kind and patient with them. I've been to (and worked at) preschools where the teachers are miserable, don't like children, and only working for the paycheck. This is not that kind of place at all. The school uses Brightwheel, an app that I found valuable in those years she was at preschool. You can see what they're crafting, eating, playing that day. You get an instant report and photo if your little one scrapes her knee. Even a quick mention of how they've cheered up afterward. Truly a great tool, and well implemented by all staff members. I've seen negative reviews about the school and I can't wrap my head around what would cause someone to write such powerful and negative words about a lovely, kind, inclusive place of learning. If I were ever in the position to need to choose a preschool again, there would be no question. Christ the King would be the choice.

    Having raised 4 children in Newbury Park over the last 20 years I have a solid understanding of the…read morecommunity and the resources that are available for child care and child education in the area. I chose to place my youngest in the care of Christ the King Preschool and I'm happy to say that it was a great decision! It is an amazing environment and the teaching staff will have your child's best interests and positive development in mind. It is family centric and they teach positive values that might get less focus from more mainstream child care services. My daughter recently graduated from CTK and I am proud to say that it is a place that she will be proud to have been a part of. Please keep up the great work!

All of…read moreour kids have had excellent teachers who work very hard to engage their students through creative teaching practices. Over the years we have been impressed with the schools reading instruction from their teachers and Target Time enrichment and intervention program. These practices have really helped my kids grow as readers from doing having a strong foundation of reading to Readers Theaters. Each grade level performs a school musical, participates in dance and art classes regularly, and has multiple field trips funded by their excellent PTA. All in all we have been very happy with the educational environment our children have been in and are proud to Walnut Wildcats!

    What an amazing school. I spent 10 years here with my children & all I can tell you is that I…read morecouldn't have picked a better school for them. Both my children are very different yet each had their specific needs addressed and met. For some reason Walnut gets a bad rap. Maybe because it is a title 1 school. This is not a bad thing. Because of the title 1 status, my son got the extra help he needed. I would have had to pay for tutoring otherwise. My daughter was considered gifted & she got to work on more challenging assignments to keep her engaged. During the 10 years we were there, I got to volunteer in the classrooms and see firsthand how amazing the teachers are. Many have gone on to get advanced degrees. These teachers are dedicated and they care. The office staff is even amazing! What can I say, I just love Walnut. Guess who else loved Walnut?? My kids, now if that doesn't speak volumes than what else does?

    Very disappointed. Many things could be organized better: 1) preschool and TK students should be…read moretogether in one class. They already have school and social experience. These students won't be board or revert back to temper tantrums due to children whom are overwhelmed by their new surroundings, hence causing distractions and holding them back 2) view teacher's classroom learning techniques and behavioral management. Is she handing out too many work sheets? Is she tracking the children's workload? Is she holding them accountable? Is there a better way to learn than just work sheets? Is her behavior management system fair? Equal? Achievable? How does she motivate the kids? Is asking a class on a Monday who hasn't been student of the week being organized? Is giving her a weekend's worth of prep time on a school night to turn in the following day allowing the child to feel special, and 3) prevent programs. The kindergarten teacher my child has is very unprofessional and non-sympathetic. A teacher cannot say, "I don't care what your mom says", or wave a piece of paper in a child's face and say "hello!" when she is not paying attention. This teacher would dismiss aggressive behavior. No, my child is not an angel, but she has never squeezed another students hand with all her might and tossed it aside, slapped, or thrown rocks at another student. I am always notified when my child bothers another, but when my child is upset because another student did something to her, and the teacher tells her to get back to work because she doesn't want to hear it, I myself, will dismiss any "aggressive" behavior my child might have been caught doing because it might, just might be in self defense (I am not the only parent whom experienced this with the same teacher). The teacher has no connection with the kids, nor concern for their safety and enjoyment of learning. The principal doesn't encourage character trait reward programs to motivate the children. The reasoning being, why give them a reward for something they should already know? However, not all parents are teaching these traits at home. Moreover, as young children, they don't know how to reward themselves yet, so recognition is motivation and encourages others to do good as well. School award assemblies where parents are invited is another form of motivation for the kids. The principal doesn't seem to find creative ways to keep the Las Posas school community motivated as a whole (teachers, parents, students). Prevent and excel programs for all students, not just the kids LCAP have chosen. Military children should actually be considered for "at-risk" programs just like the homeless, ESL, and foster students because they come from unstable homes as well. LCAP meetings are not to get parent input, but to tell us what they have already chosen to spend extra government funding on. My credentials include the education field in California and Illinois. This review is meant for the 2017-2018 school year.

The best part, is that my son is starting to speak more words and sing songs when he is at home. Thank you Kathy, Yesi, and other teachers as well!

At the very beginning of the month my daughter was suspended for behavior even though I believe the teacher mishandled the situation. I decided to pull her from the school since it was her last month and I was told I would be refunded for the tuition I paid for May, nearly $1,200 since she only attended 2 days that month. When my follow up calls weren't actively being ignored I was told by office staff that the director Kris handled financing and would call me back. This went on for months before I gave up on being refunded. Months later I'm still upset with how they handled the situation. They discussed my personal information with my family who also had a child enrolled and even issued her a partial refund when she parted ways early, but not me. I feel disrespected by the situation and because of that I would never recommend this daycare to anyone I know personally.
