I came to update about my son's experience here…read more The experience we have (& continue to have because he'll be here until he goes to "big boy school") is exemplary. The kids enjoy sensory play regularly & a lot of art is incorporated into their days. My son knows his days of the week & is identifying more letters & numbers as his time here progresses. Ms. Christy runs her business so well. I'd give her ten stars if I could. She is very timely with anything administrative & also is so engaging with the students. I watched her help a new student acclimate by playing trains with them the other day & it made me really happy to see that she cares so much. All of the teachers we've had, Ms. Yessenia, Ms. Marina & Ms. Michelle have been exemplary. I truly appreciate the effort they make & the work they do to both educate and nurture. I've witnessed Ms. Michelle help a child who spilled in such an affirming & positive way; on a day my son was having a tough time with drop off she comforted & helped him which made both of us feel a little better. Ms. Marina is wonderfully receptive & I appreciate her going out of her way to connect with me & to reassure me. My son really loves both of them & Ms. Christy so much. Every morning when we arrive he excitedly calls out their names & is so happy to see them! I'm beyond grateful we found this school. It truly has been the perfect fit & I'm so thankful for the way it's ran & the staff that makes the kid's days so joyful & fun. My son was able to have a mini birthday with his classmates & he was talking about it for days after. I'm really glad for the community that's created at star kids.

When our daughter was 2 1/2 years old, my husband and I made the difficult decision to send our…read morebaby to daycare. We wanted her to be in a place where she would not only be safe and loved, but where she could also learn, grow, and thrive developmentally. We toured several daycares throughout Riverside, and none of them came close to the level of comfort, trust, and peace of mind we felt the moment we walked into The Learning Experience in Redlands. From the incredible leadership of Miss Shannon and Miss Heather to every single teacher and teacher's aide, every person at this school has made a lasting impact on our family, especially on our daughter. They have loved her, encouraged her, celebrated her milestones, and helped shape her into the confident, curious, and kind little girl she is today. Special shout out to Miss Jackie, Miss Vanessa, Miss Ariana, Miss Miranda, Miss Kim! As a parent, leaving your child with someone else is never easy. But The Learning Experience made that transition so much easier by giving us complete confidence that our daughter was in the best hands. That kind of trust is priceless. As our daughter heads off to TK, it's incredibly bittersweet to say goodbye. We are so grateful for the love, patience, and dedication every member of this team has shown our family over the years. Please continue doing what you're doing because it's truly making a difference in the lives of children and their families. We will miss this school more than words can express. Thank you for giving us the peace of mind every parent hopes for and for helping our little girl build such a strong foundation for her future.

She absolutely adored her teachers and learned so much during her time there--from writing, reading, math, and science to learning about artists and recreating their work in their own styles. It was amazing to see how excited she became about learning and how much she genuinely looked forward to going to school. The school fostered independence and respect. The classrooms were always tidy, and the teachers taught the children to take responsibility for cleaning up after themselves, practice good table manners, care for their environment, and respect their classmates and teachers. The structure and routines prepared her well for elementary school, and she developed so much confidence along the way. The teachers at MKLA care deeply about the kids, and the knowledge, encouragement, and confidence they gave her will stay with both her and us always. We are incredibly thankful to her teachers for their patience and encouragement during such an important stage of her life.

My daughter and son took part in the full time daycare will always recommend Mrs. Lailta's school to anyone looking for quality daycare.

My child began the summer program at VPS before entering preschool. She attended PS, Pre-K, and…read moreKindergarten before we had to move away. Since then, I've toured many school campuses to enroll her, and I can confidently say that VPS offers an exceptional academic program along with outstanding after-school options. One thing that really stood out to me was the weekly presentations my daughter did. I believe they were based on alphabet items, though I may be mistaken. Regardless, these presentations were wonderful for building confidence and public-speaking skills at an early age. The homework reinforced what the children learned in class, and the at-home projects helped them feel proud and capable just like the "big kids." The after-school programs are excellent. My daughter did imagination station, sprout and blossom, violin lessons, and homework club. It provides strong academic structure while also teaching manners, confidence, and responsibility. The staff is wonderful and truly knows every child. The only downside I experienced was when I requested a transcript for my child while applying to a new schools. I was told that transcripts were not available for those grades. I had asked if they could write a letter indicating they don't have transcripts or to create in for me but neither was done. After that, communication seemed to drop off, and it felt as though we were no longer a priority once we had left the school. Overall, I would still recommend VPS without hesitation. The tuition is also very reasonable for an IB and private school. I truly wish we could return to VPS or find another school just like it.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kids Land Academy. My two children have been in their…read morecare for several years, and the experience has been a blessing. Their educational program has prepared my oldest for kindergarten with age-appropriate worksheets, and it's clear that they are genuinely invested in fostering growth and development in every child they care for. They have an excellent outdoor play area, structured daily activities, and even a couple of annual field trips that make this daycare special. My son comes home talking about all his friends and daily activities. They also provide all snacks and meals for kids over the age of two, which is super helpful for busy working parents. As full-time healthcare workers with unpredictable schedules, finding care with a clear, consistent schedule and flexibility has been incredibly important to us. Kids Land Academy has been wonderful in accommodating our needs. Their minimal closures and understanding of our varying hours make it so much easier to balance work and family life. They have been very willing to work with us when adjustments are needed. A special mention goes to Mr. Naresh, who is possibly the calmest, most patient, and caring individual I've ever met. He has an incredible way with children, and I always feel at ease knowing that my kids are in his capable hands. His calm demeanor and nurturing nature create a safe and welcoming environment for the kids. I highly recommend Kids Land Academy to any parent looking for a caring, educational, and fun place for their little ones. It's truly been an exceptional experience for our family!

When you don't have family to watch your young child, and you have to work to pay the bills, you…read moreare faced with a very difficult decision to find a childcare provider you can trust to treat your child with the love and respect you would if you could just be there with them. When you consider how important these first years are to the emotional and educational development of your precious child, this decision is one of the most important ones you can make as a parent, and it requires a lot of trust. My wife and I faced this dilemma many years ago when we stumbled onto Lalita and the business she had just started, KidsLand Academy. Our son Jude was the first baby to enroll in what would become a thriving childcare built on the passions and talents of a woman who would become a Godsend to us and our child. Lalita gave our son many years of genuine love and care that no amount of money can guarantee. We were blessed to find her, and she and her family will always be close to our hearts, as they were willing to be the family we didn't have to watch our young Jude during those critical years while our family was just starting out. If you are reading this review, you are fortunate to have found her too. Jude is now 13 years old. He is a kind hearted, responsible, and respectful young man who has always been near the top of his class academically. He had a great start. Thank you, Lalita.

I would however challenge anyone to find a Christian among the staff, clientele, and teachers. In particular, it was found out that a teacher had been practicing a pagan ritual during the Halloween season. She had additionally invited the children and a few parents to participate (i.e. burning candles and making offerings to the dead). When "called out" about this ritual, the staff and teacher made "life very difficult" to put it mildly. This is simply one of many occurrences. Before enrolling, please do your "homework" and ask around the community. There are other options, as far as Christian schools.

As the years went on to the current director you could feel the atmosphere change to a more hostile one. My children went through countless teachers with the current leadership and it just all makes sense now since unenrolling. For all incoming parent looking at this school definitely pay attention to the leadership here they are the reason we chose to leave. They charge a crazy amount for the summer fee and half the things they plan they end up canceling or barely even inform the parents of the dress up days. During the tye dye day if you don't provide your own shirt your child doesn't get to participate even after the parents spend an extra couple hundred dollars for a summer fee that's should cover the cost of shirts for the whole center! Your children will come in contact with countless germs and that is totally normal in a school setting but not even being informed if you or your child comes in contact with Covid during the height of the pandemic is beyond wrong! I honestly don't understand how this place is still in business with how it is being ran.
