She creates a warm and welcoming environment where my girls feel safe and supported. One thing we especially appreciate is her excellent communication with us. Ms. Ana is very responsive through WeChat; she provides us peace of mind when we have any questions regarding our kids. Ms Shiela was excellent in introducing both my daughters to writing/math/reading at the beginning of the year. She was able to identify different needs for each of my daughters and created a plan for us to follow at home to reinforce what was being taught at school. The time I had with Ms Shiela in the teacher parent meetings showed me that she really cared about her students and treated them as if they were her own. I am so impressed with my daughters' growth throughout the year; seeing the work they did in class and also the activities they have and are doing now at home is just amazing. We are so grateful to have had Ms. Ana and Ms. Shiela take care of and teach our kids. Ms Ana and Ms Shiela's kindness, patience, and dedication are qualities that every parent hopes to encounter on the first day of school.

The school has a over a year waitlist for great reason-- our child has matured and developed beyond our wildest dreams. Walnut International Montessori has been super LIFE CHANGING not just for our child, but also for us parents + the loves ones around us. Our child has learned skills, habits, and attitudes for life. We'll forever be grateful to Ms. Noelle, Carolina, Gie, Sabina, Hailey, Anna, Katie, Sam, Reina, Rabia, Connie, Andrea, Dima, etc. for their patience, dedication, expertise, and wholistic LOVE for the kids, parents, and the community. The staff has ALWAYS been sincere, selfless, and deeply passionate about kids' development. We wish we could stay forever with WIM-"--8 stars, if possible! Stay steadfast & patient to the other parents waiting out there! PS: Naysayers here aka "negatrons" get what they deserve for their lack of deep love, care, involvement, and sense of accountability & ownership to their child's welfare. 99% would stand on a hill about this.

A Preschool Filled with Heart and Faith!…read more Kid Junction has truly been such a blessing to our family. Our oldest daughter started here when she was just two and a half, and now our second daughter has gone through the same journey -- and we're already excited to send our youngest soon! What makes Kid Junction so special is the people. Every teacher pours so much love, time, and intention into the kids. They create fun, hands-on activities, celebrate holidays with so much joy, and keep parents updated every step of the way. You can tell this is a place where faith and care guide everything they do. Both of our girls had Miss Sandy, who is truly the best person to care for 2-year-olds -- patient, nurturing, and full of joy. Then they had Miss Susan, who is the sweetest! She helps build confidence in each child and makes every day special (my daughter loves when she pulls out her spray bottle and hair ties to give her a cute little hairstyle!). We also adore Miss Eileen, who does a wonderful job preparing the kids for Kinder she's a TK teacher -- she's caring, creative, and the children can't wait to be in her class. And Miss Belinda made those early toddler days so special with fun morning activities that set the tone for a happy day. We loved it so much that we decided to keep our daughters here for TK instead of going to elementary because we knew they would get the care and elevated education prior to going to Kinder. My daughters assessment going into kindergarten, she scored very high on the skills for this grade. It was an easy transition and she thought kinder was too easy she kept asking for more hw!! And holding it all together is Miss Clara, director -- she has the most tender heart and genuine love for children. We've known her for five years now, and her care shines through in everything she does -- her communication, the way she supports the teachers, and the way she continues to check in and send us updates. Overall I'm always blown away how clean everything is! So organized and clean which demonstrates the teachers diligence in providing a safe and modeled classroom. We are so thankful for Kid Junction. It's more than just a preschool -- it's a loving, faith-filled community that feels like family.

Whenever we drive past KJ, only fond memories and joy will come to mind, and immense gratitude that our kids had an incredible environment to learn and thrive.

It's clear that the staff truly cares about the children and takes pride in creating a safe and nurturing environment. Ms. Grace, the director, is amazing. She is professional, caring, and genuinely invested in every child's success. She is always available to answer questions, address concerns, and make parents feel heard and supported. Ms. Francesca has also been incredibly helpful throughout our time at Creekside. She is friendly, organized, and always willing to go above and beyond for both the children and their families. She truly cares about every child and always takes the time to make parents feel welcome, informed, and supported. My daughter started at Creekside when she was just 2 years old in Ms. Susan's class. Ms. Susan was absolutely wonderful and played a huge role in helping my daughter become potty trained much quicker than we expected. She was patient, encouraging, and made the process so much easier for both my daughter and our family. When my daughter turned 3, she moved into Room 5 with Ms. Lily. Like many parents, I was nervous about the transition, but Ms. Lily made it such a positive experience. She was kind, patient, and reassuring, helping my daughter adjust and feel comfortable in her new classroom. After Room 5, she moved into Room 1 with Ms. Sandra and Ms. Bri, and she absolutely loved it! They always planned fun, engaging, hands-on activities that kept the children excited to learn every day. It was wonderful to see how much my daughter grew in confidence, independence, and her love of learning while in their class. We couldn't be happier with our experience at Creekside Montessori Preschool. Watching our daughter grow in confidence, independence, and her love for learning has been such a gift. We are so grateful for every teacher who has been part of her journey and highly recommend Creekside to any family looking for a preschool that truly feels like home.

My youngest started in the infant class, and my older daughter started in Pre-K and has since moved up to TK. It's been so nice watching them grow, learn, and become comfortable and confident at school. The teachers and staff are all so friendly, warm, and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about the children and families. The facility is clean and welcoming. I like the curriculum that they offer and am impressed with how much my daughters learn each day. I also love that they offer so many extracurricular activities. My girls have really enjoyed being able to participate in the "Tutu Time" and tumbling specifically, it's something they look forward to every week. As a parent, it means so much to know that my daughters are somewhere they feel happy, safe, and cared for. My kids are very shy yet they feel comfortable with the staff and other students. We're very grateful for all of the teachers and staff at Montessori of Walnut and for the positive experience our family has had here. We toured ALL the Montessori schools in the area (there are several) and this was our top pick. I would definitely recommend MOW to other families!

After visiting six different Montessori schools throughout Walnut and Diamond Bar, Montessori of…read moreWalnut was the last one we toured. Looking back, I only wish it had been the first because it would have saved us so much time. The moment we walked in, we knew it was different. We've now been bringing our kids here for about two years. Our daughter started when she was just 1 1/2 years old, and when our son reached the same age, there was no question where he would be going. The teachers and staff are incredibly professional, caring, and respectful. It's obvious they genuinely care about each child and create a warm, welcoming environment every day. The facility is always spotless, well organized, and you can tell they take great pride in maintaining a safe and clean space for the kids. One thing that really sets Montessori of Walnut apart is everything they offer beyond the classroom. They have on-campus swimming with a certified instructor who also offers private lessons, fun themed events throughout the year, guest speakers, and so many engaging extracurricular activities that keep the children excited and learning in new ways. Most importantly, our kids absolutely love going to school every morning. They've learned so much over the past two years, and it's been amazing to watch their confidence and independence grow. The teachers are currently helping our oldest with potty training, and they've been incredibly patient, supportive, and consistent throughout the process. Another thing we appreciate is the location. It's tucked away from busy streets and public traffic, which gives it a quiet, safe, and peaceful feel that's perfect for young children. Choosing a preschool is a big decision for any parent, and we're so thankful we found Montessori of Walnut. If you're looking for a clean, caring, and enriching Montessori program with an outstanding staff, I highly recommend giving them a tour. We couldn't be happier with our experience.

I want to preface this by saying I don't usually write reviews, but for WUMP it's a must. I have so…read moremuch gratitude for this school. I say this all the time, this school quite literally saved my son Long story short, I originally sent my son to a preschool that was highly recommended by many of my students' parents over the years. However, with staff changes during Covid, my experience there was less than pleasant and it took a hard toll on my son's confidence. He was always afraid to express himself, make eye contact with the teacher, and wasn't himself.. I came to WUMP desperately trying to find another school to switch him out to (which was also highly recommended by some friends). Hearing about my son's current situation Miss Yonni (the director) did everything in her power to get me over to WUMP as soon as possible. My son was greeted here with SO much love and reassurance-- from the first day to graduation he had the most loving teachers ever. He regained his confidence again, felt comfortable to open up, and just blossomed here. I owe so much of who he is today to this wonderful preschool and I'm forever indebted to them My second child is currently finishing her final year here and I'm beyond sad she will be leaving! Between both my kids, they have had the best experience in almost all of the teachers' classes here. They love my children like their own and are so good at what they do! I'm an educator myself for many years, so I can confidently say that the teachers at WUMP are truly top of the line. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! My son went into public school kinder and was well above the level of proficiency expected for a kindergartner! There's a reason why this preschool is always recommended so strongly by word-of-mouth from parent to parent. WUMP is a neighborhood gem that I will continue to recommend to anyone who asks me for a preschool recommendation.

He is more willing to go out of his comfort zone to try new things and activities. When I pick him up from school, he will always tell me that it was fun! The teachers and staff here are all patient and caring. I really love that Ms. Tina, my son's teacher, goes above and beyond the curriculum to give her students an academic and musical head start with plenty of hands on activities. Sometimes my son will sing new songs at home and try to teach me the songs he learned from school. Another day I was reading a book to him and he suddenly pointed out that he also learned about the Eiffel Tower in class! The only problem now is that he is asking to see the real Eiffel Tower in person hahaha~ It's amazing that the teachers are able to expose students to all walks of life at such a young age using science, arts and crafts, and storytime. I highly recommend Little Seed for those who care about their children being well rounded, academically and emotionally. It's a bilingual program with English in the mornings and Mandarin in the afternoons. The school provides nutritious lunch meals all freshly cooked in house and uses brightwheel app so parents can see the daily activities their children do. They teach their students not just the ABCs, but also good habits, manners, and in general awareness of the world around them. Overall, I am grateful for the teachers who have given my son the time to break down his walls and finally feel calm and content in a warm and kind environment.

It's a bilingual environment where children learn both Chinese and English through play, music, and daily routines. Our younger daughter comes home singing new songs and using words in both languages. It's amazing to see how language is integrated so naturally into fun activities, allowing the kids to absorb it effortlessly. The classrooms are well-organized. We see joy and growth in our daughter every single day socially, emotionally, and academically. We highly recommend Little Seed to any family looking for a loving, bilingual early childhood education. And when it's time to move on to elementary school, their sister school, Kingdom Seed Academy in Diamond Bar, is absolutely worth checking out. It's just as amazing!

I can genuinely say we have loved our experience here and both of my boys have absolutely thrived! From the Montessori-style independent learning and social environment to all the fun add-on classes like golf, dance, gymnastics, sports, and more, I've always loved how BSMA gives the kids so many different opportunities to learn, explore and just enjoy being kids. Both of my sons are pretty social, especially my oldest, and I truly believe BSMA played such an important role in building his confidence and social skills. He grew SO much during his time here, not only academically but as a person. And the teachers!!! When I say we have loved ALL of our teachers, I really mean it -- both the current teachers and some who have since moved on. They have always been so thoughtful, kind, patient, and genuinely caring toward our kids. What I'm always so impressed by, was the way teachers/director remembered every student's name, including students that weren't in their class. A huge shoutout to Ms. Mary, Ms. Brianna, Ms. Adrienne, Ms. Olivia, Ms. Kayenne, Ms. Saide, Ms. Valerie, Ms. Malorie, Ms. Bethzay, Ms. Yu, and ofc Ms. Jin! Ms. Jin was actually one of my oldest son's former teachers and is now the director, which makes it even more special. One thing I will mention is that the structure and facility are a little different from a traditional classroom setting. It's much more open and the kids have opportunities to interact and socialize with one another throughout the school. I know that might not be everyone's preference, but I actually LOVED that about BSMA. I really think it contributed to how social and confident my kids became. My thought was always: they're going to spend Kinder through high school sitting in more traditional classrooms, so why not let their first educational experience be somewhere fun, creative, open, and different? Academically, I also feel BSMA gave my oldest such a strong foundation going into elementary school. He entered Kinder incredibly prepared, to the point where I sometimes feel like he isn't being challenged as much now because he already learned so much at BSMA! That really speaks to what a phenomenal job they did preparing him. Another thing I really appreciate is how well they keep parents updated through ClassDojo. Throughout the day, we get photos and detailed updates about what the kids are learning and doing, what they ate, restroom updates, and more. The teachers will often include lengthy descriptions explaining the activities and what the kids are learn/play, which I've always appreciated. You really get a glimpse into your child's day instead of just dropping them off and wondering what they did for the day! I'm so grateful that Bright Star Montessori Academy is where both of my boys got to begin their educational journeys. It will always hold such a special place in our family's heart. I was really sad for my oldest to move on from BSMA but glad my youngest is still there.
