Our son is about to "graduate" from Arcadia Playschool and it has been a great experience with the…read morePlayschool in the past 3 years. In the beginning, our son (18-month old) had challenges being with a group of friends and Mr. Dave, Ms. Ranum, and teachers had so much patience and positive attitude working with my son to overcome it. They assisted with the potty train process which helped us so much. The school also handled Covid situation well, and we never had to worry about it. Our son enjoys his time here. He makes good friends and he loves all the teachers from three different age classes. This place makes our parenting life to have one less thing to worry about. I recommend this school to all our friends and families. We have signed up our second son to be here and we will suggest you to take a tour to see it yourself!

This is a wonderful place and we are so glad our daughter could go here for her first school…read moreexperience. The owners and staff are attentive, accommodating, and easy to talk to. Our child began with major separation anxiety, but thanks to the teachers who stuck by her side, she began dancing and having fun in as little as four days and the crying at drop-off stopped after 2 weeks, at which point she began to run inside to be with her teachers and friends. The facility is very clean, safe, and built with growing kids in mind. They have a really good curriculum and great activities in each classroom. In the toddler class (ages 18-36mo & where our child was) they have a 6-to-1 child/teacher ratio. If I had to complain about one thing, it's that I wish we could get more photos/videos and updates throughout the day, but since I also don't want the teachers on cell-phones all day long, it's an okay trade off knowing that our kid will come home happy everyday and sometimes with cool art projects in hand! The staff also does a great job notifying us of any incidents (booboos, bites, runny noses) that need our immediate attention or knowledge. They have a good, effective covid policy in place too and if I'm not mistaken only one child tested positive for covid since the pandemic began, but the child stayed home and quarantined. The entire school/staff was then dismissed to get tested and the results were all negative. To protect everyone, they check everyone's temps upon arrival and they won't hesitate to send children home for high temps or any covid-like symptoms. I would highly recommend anyone to come here, especially if it's their child's first school. They do a wonderful job.

Please check it out, they are awesome to give the children lots of engaging activity and academic readiness. The school stays within a churd with decent parking. We are so glad we bumped into this school by accident and love it wholeheartly. Thank you!!

The classroom environment is organized and encourages independence and confidence. In the past year I have seen so much growth in my daughter, not just learning, but in responsibility and socially.

I highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive and high quality learning environment.

She started Academicise at age 2.5 in diapers not speaking a word of English. When she finished K1 she had been fully potty trained for more than a year, speaks English in addition to Mandarin and a little Spanish. She knows her abc's, some sight words and can write her first and last name (15 letters long), count and do simple addition. The school is very clean as well. The in house chef makes delicious food that my daughter ate 2-3 servings of each day. We would definitely recommend Academicise to anyone looking for a quality preschool. I only wish she could go back to Academicise when her private school is out for summer!

The teachers and…read morestaff are truly amazing here because they are super caring, attentive, and passionate about what they do. The school is always incredibly clean and well organized, which gives me a lot of peace of mind as a parent. I love that their clothes are always clean when they come home! Breakfast, lunch and snacks are included, which makes busy mornings so much easier. Most importantly, I feel completely assured that my children are safe, well cared for, and learning so much every day. They've learned their letters, colors, and sight words, and it's amazing to see how far ahead they are already. It's been so rewarding watching their confidence, knowledge and social skills grow. The school has a good balance of both play and academics which is perfect. I highly recommend this preschool to any parents looking for a nurturing, supportive, and engaging environment for their kids!

I know I can trust the teachers to take care of my daughter while I work. I have feisty girls but we work together to correct behavior and reinforce good behavior. We are just finishing one full year of the youngest class. My daughter can count to 20, can identify her colors, sing nursery rhymes and so much more at 2.5 years old. Ms. Tarita is her current teacher who has taught her all of these amazing things. They do crafts often and she comes home with magnets all the time. Our door is filled and we love it! They have a photo platform where we get picture updates of events which is so nice. My daughter often eats seconds that's how delicious the meals are. They have routines and kids thrive off routine. Take a tour of the school!

We thought we knew what to expect from preschool, having already sent our older son through one…read morewhen we lived in a different city, but Creative Child Preschool in Temple City still managed to pleasantly surprise us. I hope this review helps other parents new to the area see what a gem this school has been for busy parents like ourselves. First is the schedule. Drop-off starts earlier than most other schools in the area, and pick-up is any time before 6pm. This translate to tangible flexibility for two working parents. We'd heard about, and experienced, other preschools with shorter hours that even take weeks off for spring and winter break like the public school calendar. Believe me when I say I'm eternally grateful we never had to manage those schedule gaps with Creative Child. Next is the physical space. The school itself feels like a home, each room beautifully decorated and cozy. The school yard is huge, with swings, slides, and a sandbox. Whenever we visit, my daughter is running and jumping through the yard with her friends like it's her own personal jungle gym. There are also add-ons we could opt into throughout the week. My daughter looked forward to Tuesday tap dancing every single week, along with Mandarin and My Gym classes. These are activities right on campus during school hours. Outside of school hours, we even got to invite her grandparents to her tap recital, and it turned into such a great family bonding moment. Creative Child doesn't feel like just a place to drop off your kid. I appreciate how intentional they are about pulling parents into the experience all year long. I did a mechanical bull ride with my daughter on Father's Day. We built gingerbread houses together during the holidays. The summer calendar get even better with magician, petting zoo, splash days, and more! The teachers are superstars here. The school is intimate enough that the teachers are familiar to all the kids, even if they're not the primary instructor for their class. So as my daughter moved up each year, she was never meeting anyone brand new, just a familiar face she hadn't had as her main teacher yet. Ms. Denise, Ms. Annie, Mr. Viet, Ms. Sharon, Ms. Susan, Ms. Jessica and Ms. Giselle all became familiar to her over the years, and I think that consistency built so much of her confidence. My daughter had trouble pronouncing her "s" sounds early on, enough that we got a professional consult just to be safe. Once she started in the Imagineer class with Ms. Denise, her speech noticeably improved week after week. I felt like she's already performing at a kindergarten level even though she's not even at that age yet. And the food deserves a mention. Ms. Rosie runs the kitchen, and she's a magician. My daughter won't touch oatmeal at home, but somehow cleans her bowl at school. We joke that we need to steal the recipes from Ms. Rosie someday, because the quality of meals in the public school system isn't even close in comparison. Lastly, getting to know the other families in our cohort made it clear we'd landed somewhere special. So many families here are rooted in the local community, and I learned so much just from talking to other parents, tips on neighborhood activities, what to expect once public school starts, from families with older siblings already there. Those are the invisible benefits nobody tells you when searching for a preschool. We definitely got more out of the school than what we paid for. Creative Child gave us the school part and the community part, and we're genuinely going to miss it when she finally graduates and enter the public school system. Creative Child Temple City simply exceeded our expectations in every way!

Writing this review with tears in my eyes thinking about my daughter entering her last month at…read moreCreative Child. I have had 2 kids pass through this school, and if I did one thing right in my kid's preschool careers, it was enrolling them in this school. I did extensive research into preschools and even enrolled my son into a different one Initially, but took him out after a few months and was lucky enough to get him into CCP and never looked back. Ms. Denise, Mr. Viet, Ms. Sharon, Ms. Susan, Ms. Annie, Ms Rosie (the school's chef!!) and all the other teachers have left the biggest stamp on my daughter's (and our family's) life. There has not been one day she has said she did not want to go to school, which I can only attribute to the fun atmosphere and wonderful, loving teachers. Holidays are special here, birthdays are special here, summer is fun (splash day! Science man! Magic man!), mothers and fathers are celebrated (Ms Denise knows how to throw a party!)- the entire school Is centered around love and happiness. Aside from the great every day curriculum, courses like gymnastics, mandarin, and tap class are also available for those interested (during school time which is great for busy parents who work and can't necessarily get the kids to afterschool activities). A phone app is used to update parents with pictures, nap checks, daily calendar of events, etc. You always know exactly what is going on with your child that day. On top of all this, the teachers are very conscious of health allergies, eczema, sun protection, and providing a well balanced meal. Ending this review just saying how grateful I am to each and every person at Creative Child who has helped raise my daughter through her preschool years. She is growing into a confident, silly, loving, witty, smart and beautiful girl because of each of you. Thank you thank you thank you.
