    My sons attended from ages two to four and absolutely loved it. The schedule was a 9 a.m. drop-off…read moreand 5 p.m. pickup every day, at a price that was very reasonable. Wendy, the director, was professional and always available whenever questions came up. It's clear the school is run with genuine respect for both children and parents. Compared with other high-cost programs in Southern California, this school offers excellent value. While we were there, the child-to-adult ratio was roughly one adult for every four to eight children, which allowed time for one-on-one development. They also had rotating teacher helpers who stepped in as needed for breakout situations. The school also invests in community-building through holiday celebrations and seasonal programs. It's the kind of place families remember fondly years later.

    This is my truth; I would not recommend this daycare or school. The way the director handled my…read moreson's situation did not align with the school's mission, which claims to promote diversity, allow students to grow at their own pace, and help them achieve success. Instead of helping behavioral kids improve, this school chooses to remove them. My son started in September 2025, but it only lasted two months. He was 27 months old when we decided to disenroll him, and it felt like we were forced to do so. September started off well, and I was hopeful this daycare was right for him. In October, however, there were many reported behavioral issues, and he was sent home almost every day he attended. He was only enrolled part-time on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. It started with biting. Apparently, there was no way to redirect or stop him, even though it happened right in front of the teachers' feet. This lasted two weeks. After that, it was hitting for a week, then throwing toys. We couldn't find the reason why he was doing this at school but not at home. Every conversation I had with the teacher or director was different, and their stories conflicted. The teachers would say his behavior was appropriate for his age, but the director would say the same thing, then add that my son should know better by now. As a first-time mom, it's hard to hear that my son is causing harm to other students. I could only do so much at home, and he was not doing these things there. When asked, there were many excuses: -he's overstimulated, language barrier, lack of communication, he's not around many 2-year-olds and at home it's only mom and dad, he's doing it all unprovoked, he would be a better fit in a smaller classroom with one-on-one support, there is no way of stopping him and if he wants something he just goes for it, why are we denying speech therapy (when the director did not know that when we spoke with the NorCal consultant, she said we could add it if the evaluator felt my son needed it, and as parents we did not feel he had a speech issue for his age), we budgeted to bring in another teacher to help, which didn't happen until a week before his disenrollment because I told them we were meeting with the NorCal referral people and were trying to make it work until then. My son started a new daycare a week after leaving Early Foundation, and he is doing great there. It wasn't all my son's doing, because two other students from his class at Early Foundation also joined after my son left. This shows they are not equipped to handle behavioral problems as they claim, and it's sad how easily they give up on a toddler. When I asked about a partial refund since my son did not attend the whole month of October, which I paid for out of pocket and not with any assistance, the director said no. Even though he was not there, he was sent home for bad behavior and kept a spot another child could have had. That, to me, shows it is all about business and greed. I did get a refund for Halloween, when I kept my son home because I was sure they didn't want him there anymore. Even depositing that refund felt embarrassing. We continued with the NorCal parent-infant program referral, just to give us some ease as first-time parents. All the consultants who came to evaluate my son said there was nothing wrong and that he didn't qualify for any assistance. So, if you are looking for a place that can handle many 2-year-olds and actually has the patience to help them grow, this is not the place!

We enrolled our son in this daycare sometime in Sept. 2024 (he was 1.5 years old), in the beginning it all seemed really nice, the staff were friendly and seemed to care about the kids. All that changed when one of the staff in the toddler class got fired because of alleged rough handling of one of the kids. After that, they seemed to always be short staffed, we didn't know which class to drop off our son, one time we would leave him in the infants area, next with the 3-year old, it was the same situation when picking him up, we had to walk all over the place to see where our son is. Additionally it's worth mentioning that every single day my son would come home with dirty face and hands, with snot all over his face, and almost every other week he was sick to the point that we had to keep him home. In few occasions when they were outside, we noticed kids playing with muddy water that had leaked from the drinking water fountain and had their faces in it and the staff would not interfere or stop the kids. we were fortunate to be on a waiting list for another daycare and my son's turn came up to get enrolled, but toward the last 2, 3 months in this daycare he didn't want to go, he was always upset during drop off and when picking him up, he would look upset until he would see us. All this, I do want to mention that I believe it is the management that is not good, the staff are most likely overworked and underpaid. If you care about your child's safety and health and if you have the means to not enroll him in this daycare, I would definitely suggest to stay away.

    Hello to all parents and caregivers. :-) As a mother for 23 years, former teacher and a person with…read morean extensive ECE educational background, degrees in Social Psychology and Social Science as well as finishing my Masters in Clinical Psychology, I found myself needing temporary care for my daughter during the current Summer months while she is out of school from RSA and with my hectic schedule. Having come from such a warm, loving, and attentive after-school program, I fear we may have been spoiled and enjoyed the luxuries of a quality after school program at RSA that we unfortunately are unable to recommend at this time anyone enroll their child in Heather Ridge if they want to continue the tradition of excellence that is always expected. Heather Ridge has some fine teachers, no doubt about it however, their hands are tied as to how they are allowed to encourage or respond to unruly, misguided, and undisciplined children who act and behave inappropriately and have not had the best opportunities to perhaps learn some coping skills with the full knowledge of the director and their rules and regulations. My daughter has only been in attendance for less than two weeks, and already, licensing had been called and on premise for issues beyond the children's and parent's control. My 8-year old daughter has been systematically allowed to be terrorized by a 'student' who has been in attendance at Heather Ridge for many years, admittedly by the director. We had attempted to express our concerns with how their procedures and policies work however, we were met with opposition from the assistant director, Krystin with unapologetic excuses and adamant denial coupled with a meeting to work together to resolve the issue and move forward with a positive goal in mind never coming to fruition. I was also hoping to address the fact that she told my daughter while I was not present that the reason the boy picked on her so much was because 'he liked 'her.' Personally, as a family unit and a long-time parent and former teacher, this type of excuse sets the bar for young girls to believe that it is okay for boys to harass and accost them merely because they like them. This is a serious recipe for girls to grow up thinking it's okay and if, in fact, find themselves in abusive relationships later down the line the notion that it's okay for a man to abuse them because it means 'they like/love them." Please note that this facility partners with SCOE, so you will find that there are recommendations made that may not be the best fit however are 'financially feasible'. I think the previous reviews stand by themselves with regard to this facility, and anyone considering Heather Ridge should look to the reviews to ascertain whether or not it's worth the drama, degradation and safety to enroll your child in this program or make the effort and financial decision to find somewhere else to enroll your child which have more than stellar reviews. It's so easy to write a mission statement including but not limited to "Our goal is to allow children to have hands-on learning experiences that foster age appropriate development" and not keep that promise! How easy it is to write that but not keep that commitment? Here is hoping that this center can find the time to work together with us to solve our issues and meet the safety, security and happiness needs of my daughter as well as the other children in attendance. If it is happening to one, it's happening to others. Recognize that, even if it is only one parent that is willing to speak up and be her child's advocate! Excited to see some form of thoughtful and productive communication for the sake of all children in attendance in the near future! Looking forward to an updated review with positive results! UPDATE: This school's resolution to our issues: After writing a one-star Yelp review, we were given a 2-week notice to leave and accusations laid out that my daughter might have contributed to the issue. LOL. Seems they have no interest in creating a caring and positive environment for all but would rather eliminate any potential desire to correct irresponsible behavior by both students and staff.
