We were recommended Keystone Montessori by another provider, and I honestly couldn't agree more…read morewith all the praise! We recently started here, and it has been such a positive experience. My daughter has struggled with self-regulation issues in the past and has often been dismissed or labeled as "challenging," but the staff here has been incredible. They are genuinely willing to work with her while I manage outside support, which allows me to keep working without constant worry. Without this school, I honestly don't know where I'd be as a working mom. The staff is amazing -- so supportive, attentive, and proactive -- and they keep my daughter engaged, happy, and thriving. I can't recommend Keystone Montessori highly enough!

I am thoroughly impressed with this pre-school/daycare facility. I am highly satisfied with the…read morecare my children have received at this institution, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. So, my wife and I were looking for a daycare at the beginning of the year. We called a few places and ended up at Keystone. The old director called us back and invited us to check it out. He was super professional and nice, and still is. We went, and he told us all about the school, the curriculum, and programs (based on income) that could help. They'll seriously work with you however they can. So, we decided to give it a shot and enrolled our kids there. And honestly, we're still really happy with that decision. The staff is amazing. We first met Ms. Katrina. She was patient and understanding with our 2 year old, even with his tantrums. Still is. Ms. Marleni and Mrs. Laura both teach my eldest. They are both kind and understanding, while also being firm when necessary. My eldest has learned so much, and constantly ask when she will return to school, as she enjoys it that much. Since my children's enrollement, I have seen a dramatic change in their character. Curiousity shines on their faces. Intellectually, they have amazed me. Yes they are young. My 4 year old is reading, learning patterns and numbers. My 4 year old's cognotive reasoning and deduction up there. My 2 year old knows the alphabet. Counting out loud randomly and recoginizing various things. Vocabulary is up there. Word and picture association. I can't ask for more, but at the same, this school/daycare has pushed them to test those boundries. I can't wait to see how they continously grow and even after they age out, I feel and know they will have had a great experience in this facility.

Prospective families should be aware that the Executive Director does not operate in true…read morepartnership with parents. When concerns are raised, communication is handled in a dismissive manner rather than through collaboration or dialogue. Parent input is acknowledged superficially, key points are bypassed, and agreements made at the classroom level are not upheld at the executive level. After receiving an assessment that did not accurately reflect our child's abilities (completed less than two months into enrollment), we raised concerns about the lack of context, narrative, and communication. The teachers acknowledged the assessment was not an accurate reflection of her capabilities and agreed it should be updated to reflect her short acclimation period and current capabilities. However, when this was escalated to the Executive Director, those agreements were disregarded. Rather than updating the assessment as discussed, leadership insisted on singling out a child instead of correcting an administrative misstep. Requests to simply revise the original assessment with accurate context were dismissed. When we expressed concern about the long-term academic implications of having an inaccurate student record, we were dismissed. The Executive Director superficially acknowledged our concerns, and reasonable requests were met with inflexibility rather than problem-solving. A school's culture is shaped from the top. If families are leaving, leadership may want to reflect on how parent advocacy is received and addressed.

We recently transferred our 2.5-year-old from a highly regarded preschool in Playa Vista to…read moreBroadoaks, and the difference has been night and day. While there was nothing "wrong" with the previous school on paper, we never saw the kind of joy, excitement, and emotional connection to the environment that we now see every single day. Our son comes home telling us stories about his teachers and friends, and he literally doesn't want to leave when we pick him up. The teachers at Broadoaks have been so kind, nurturing, and patient with him (and he is very high energy!). It's clear they truly care about their students and create a supportive environment where kids can thrive. We are so grateful for the warmth and dedication of the Broadoaks staff--it has made our move to Whittier that much sweeter knowing our child is in such good hands.

My daughter started at Montessori School of Hacienda Heights when she was 3 years old in July of…read more2025. I received a flyer in the mail, called to make and appointment, and Ms. Enoka was able to provide me a tour, tuition rates, and the philosophy of how they teach and care for children very clearly within 30 minutes. It was very easy to make the decision to have my daughter come to school here. So many experiences have affirmed our decision to be a part of this community. Here are the top 5. 1. Potty training has been a long journey for my daughter. Ms. Anayeli (when my daughter was 3) and Ms. Rehani (when my daughter was 4) were so communicative about troubleshooting with me when we couldn't figure out how to get her to stop having accidents. We discussed factors that could be contributing to her accidents and they shared with me what they were doing at school so I could continue at home and vice versa. 2. My daughter's social development accelerated when she started at this school. I attribute this to the open play they have in the afternoon. Kids of different ages are able to play outdoors on the grassy area and play structure while supervised by the teachers. During this time, my daughter was able make sense of what it meant to be a friend. 3. Teachers clearly communicate with the children right from wrong. My daughter has a strong sense of what is right and can communicate it with me because her teachers model it for her everyday. She is at school on most weekdays from 6:45am to 4:30pm so a lot of what she learns comes from school. 4. The parent teacher conferences were especially helpful in enabling me to find supplemental activities that I used to continue my child's learning at home. They used the Montessori framework to provide feedback which showed me what to prioritize next. 5. Ms. Enoka has been extremely responsive to any administrative needs like helping me fill out paperwork and providing documents for tax season. I've never had to wait longer than 24 hours for anything I needed. I am so grateful that my daughter got to experience this school. She has learned so much. On top of that, the Ms. Enoka and the teachers have shown up as educational partners as I raise my daughter!

You can often see that through your child's reaction when you drop them off--their smile, excitement, and eagerness to run through the school gates. That's exactly how we feel about this school.

I was worried I wouldn't be able to get her into a daycare as she was not potty trained and didn't talk a lot, they said it was no problem and when the time came they would work with me to make sure potty training went smoothly. They have a private website for the parents where they post pictures and updates as well the teachers will exchange numbers with you and are more than happy to provide extra updates personally for any concerns. Cumorah's hours and price point are great for a full time professional with kids. My daughter loves her teachers and you can tell they love working with kids it really puts my mind at ease knowing she is surrounded by such great humans. My pandemic baby is thriving because of Cumorah Kids Daycare

If there is a minus star system, I would give them that! Where should I start, from the rude…read moredirector to the unprofessional teachers, to the scary priest!!! I had my child in that preschool for one month only!!! Horrible experience. Filthy environment, none professional, unorganized school... the one thing that was okay was my son's teacher (Ms. Cindy), she was professional with us and nice to my child... other than that, forget it. I believe she left the school, Becuase she can do better! Let me start with the director, Sophia. VERY rude!!! VERY unprofessional! VERY Arrogant! I couldn't bare seeing her or talk to her, she thinks she owns the place and you (the parent) and your child is nothing to her! I am Ma'am the customer, I paid your salary!!! She needs to show respect and be nicer to families. Second, the teachers, there was one particular teacher (I don't know her name) VERY unprofessional, low class, vulgar!!! Imagine, I'm walking my child to school, it's his birthday. I have the cake with me, my child waking behind him, she wanted, I guess, to act funny/silly/stupors... whatever it is... , so she left her leg and kick my son to joke with him, who immediately gets closer to me to get away from her... yes kicked him!!!! She caught me out of surprise, I didn't know what to do or say at that moment! She had a kid with her, what does the kid do, he immediately imitates her, and tries to kick my son!!!!yup! She then brings the kid to apologize to my son for doing so, like really! so we told her you did that first, so you need to apologize to my son before this kid!!! I complained to the school administration , but nothing was done! Another horrible experience! Then comes the Priest, don't get me wrong. I have a respect to all religious figures, I am Christian too and I wanted to put my son in a Christian school... but this priest has no clue how to talk to little kids! We attended one chapel service with my kid, it was a scary movie on God and punishment and the end of the world and how Jesus will "swallow" earth and we are in it! I looked at my partner and was like.. what!!!! That should have been the warning sign for us to not enroll my child. He still has nightmares from that story. Sooo, this is our horrible experience at this horrible preschool. Do not enroll your child in it, you'll regret it just like we did!

Bright Steps Academy has been a positive part of my son's life. He started attending when he was…read moreabout nine months old. When making the decision to take our son there, my husband and I visited about five or more daycares. Although we were not first-time parents, it would be our first time leaving our third child in a daycare. The minute we walked into Ms. Maral's Academy, it felt right. It was very inviting and organized. She answered all our questions and put us at ease. Bright Steps Academy has been so instrumental for my son's development and learning. He comes home singing the alphabet, the days of the week, the numbers in English and Spanish and tells stories about his daily learning. From the home-made food, healthy snacks, daily kids activities, the librarian coming in to read stories, to potty training and naps and so many more to name a few. Parents are kept informed through an app and one can see pictures of the activities happening on certain days. Ms. Maral, we are forever grateful that we found Bright Steps Academy. You have become part of our family and the hard work that you put into the Academy does not go unnoticed. We wish you continued success and may God bless you, your family and Bright Steps Academy

That kind of comfort doesn't happen by accident, it comes from teachers who genuinely care. Both of them have been incredible about listening to us as parents. Any question or concern we brought up was met with patience and real attention, never dismissed. They took the time to understand our daughter as an individual, and it showed in how she grew more confident, more curious, and more herself by the day. Ms. Amy and Ms. Tabitha, the directors, have also been wonderful. Thay are always welcoming, always making us feel like part of the community from the moment we walked in. We feel so fortunate that our daughter had teachers who didn't just look after her, but genuinely helped shape who she's becoming. This place will always stay close to our hearts. Thank you for everything.

His socialization skills have improved immensely and his intellectual capacity has grown exponentially. I'm always amazed by what he knows or has learned. Their tuition is very reasonable. Their teachers are honestly the best there is and they love the kids so much. Quality Montessori education in a loving environment. Edit: I don't understand the negative review below mine. I'm actually offended that this person even attacked Ms. Tabitha or Ms. Amy's character. They are nothing but the kindest and caring humans I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I reiterate: My husband and I could not be happier with our experience at this Montessori daycare. From the moment we walked in, we felt warmth, calm, and genuine care. The classrooms are beautifully prepared, inviting, and thoughtfully designed to encourage independence and curiosity. The teachers are beyond amazing -- patient, attentive, and deeply respectful of each child as an individual. They truly embody the Montessori philosophy, guiding rather than directing, and nurturing confidence, focus, and a love of learning. It has been incredible to watch our child grow in independence, communication skills, and self-esteem in such a short time. We especially appreciate how the program fosters practical life skills, kindness, and problem-solving. Our child comes home excited to share what they learned and proudly demonstrates new skills every week. Communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed and included. The sense of community here is something special -- it feels like an extension of our family. If you're looking for a nurturing, enriching, and joyful environment where your child will truly thrive, this Montessori daycare is an absolute gem. We are so grateful we found it! You won't be disappointed nor regret your decision in having your child learn here. We're even going to put our daughter in once their infant room is up and running!
