I toured many preschools around Torrance and Gardena, but this was only place where I felt peace knowing that she was 100% cared and loved for. They love on your child like their own, and communication is so fast and easy because Ms.Julie and Pastor Danny cares about the parents as much as the children. The teachers help the children discover their interests and assist them to grow on their own pace. My child is now independent and confident in learning. She has become a resilient student and is definitely TK ready! Ms.Julie and Pastor Danny carefully and prayerfully crafts their classroom setting and the chemistry between the students. Your child will gain not only school skills but everything outside of school that is important such as interpersonal skills, independence, and emotion and motor control. The school is also very very reasonably priced considering the teacher-to-students ratio and the Montessori teaching you receive from the lovely and experienced teachers. The best part is that they teach the children about Christ in not an overbearing way but by example. If you are having hard time finding a Christian school for your baby, please don't hesitate to reach out to Ms.Julie!!

The best part is that the children are learning a lot, in both English and Spanish which is a huge bonus! There is a set curriculum. They try to get parents involved in family events, which were very enjoyable. Shout out to my favorite sweet teachers: Ms Sophia and Ms Kerri.

I feel like my wife and I dodged a bad situation bringing our child here. The professionalism is…read moreextremely lacking. If they can't get something as simple as customer service and being professional in order why would I entrust them with my kid? At first we called the Downey location but they said there was a waitlist of 1 year but that the MLK location would have IMMEDIATE enrollment. We didn't mind joining the waitlist for Downey while still enrolling our child at the MLK location. Downey is on the way to where I work and though MLK is a bit out of the at but I would have made it work for the time being until Downey had a spot. Downey location sent me a PDF form that already had another family information all over it-clearly a violation of their privacy as now I had their name, address, child's name and other sensitive information. Emailed Helia back letting her know but received no response. I proceeded to try to call MLK; the phone would ring and ring and then it would disconnect as if someone was denying the call or picking up and hanging up. I then decided to use the texting service that they claim "responds in minutes." Yes, maybe the automated portion responds in minutes but as soon as a live agent takes over it's an extremely long wait. 4:15pm someone tells me to "hold on while I connect you with someone who can help..." 4:26pm I ask "how long should I wait?" 5:30pm didn't have anyone connected so I messaged back "hello." 7:15am the next day someone replies back without even acknowledging the wait. I didn't mention it until the information I received that there would be a waitlist for about 6 months at MLK. What happened to IMMEDIATE enrollment? Then they have the nerve to tell me that using the online chat is the quickest way to get a response, not calling or texting. Why do you have phone numbers listed and text services available if it's a terrible way to communicate with you? What if there's an emergency that I need to pick up my child? Yea, no thanks but this place is a hard pass. They might be affordable compared to other care centers but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." TLDR; There is a major disconnect between centers even though they claim to be affiliated. They have no regard for privacy since they blindly send out forms without checking if there is another families information on them. Their customer service is abysmal since they didn't pick up multiple phone calls and left me waiting for more than 12 hours on the text service or respond to emails.

We highly recommend taking your kids to Joselyn's backyard daycare. We started with her about 10…read moremonths ago, and our experience has been amazing. We are beyond grateful we met her and Miss Jasmine. They are very kind, caring, and trustworthy. They are always positive and supportive while going through transitions. I joke that they not only take care of the babies but also the parents since I've learned so much from them. Before pregnancy, I thought I would never like any of the arts and crafts activities from daycare/school, but when I see ALL the crafts we get from them, I cried. They are very creative! We love them and I know that I can be in piece while working because my son is in good hands.

Joselyn and her attendant Jasmine are so caring and wonderful - not only looking after our kids with so much love and attention but also teaching them to so many new things as well.

Michelle, the owner, does a fantastic job of keeping the whole community in touch and the organization running smoothly. Field trips, weekend camping trips, and mom/dads' nights are a bonus.
