This place is a scam. It's not an academy but a baby sitter. They claim to tutor and teach your…read morekids after school for 300 a month. But, for the past 5 months I've brought this up multiple times to the teachers and tutors and my child still has been failing 4 out of 6 classes. They don't check homeworks and when they do, it's still wrong. When brought to their attention, the blame is put on the child instead and do not own up to the inefficiencies and deficiencies in their system and their staff. If you want an after school pick up baby sitter for 3 hours, this is the place for you and kids. However, if you're looking for an after school enrichment program for your kids, please look elsewhere. If you're still considering this place, ask for a sit in and see for yourself what kind of place this is.

We sent our daughter to TopKids Academy for the past 7 months and experience had been so positive.

She already know her months, spell her colors, days of the weeks. She had been to field trips and also I like all the activity they do.

MPCS has been a place where my youngest thrived. The school may be small, but it is mighty. This is…read moredue to the love and care that the long-time teachers and staff has poured onto many, many children throughout the decades. As an educator myself, you bet I vetted all the local daycares in the area and asked all the hard questions about curriculum, schedules, policies, safety, assessments, etc. MPCS welcomed any and all questions I had at the open house and throughout the school year. Their communication was open and transparent. I appreciated all the time the teachers and staff took to work with me when I had a question or gave a suggestion. They listened intently and did so with such care, grace and humility. My child looked forward to going to school daily and enjoyed all the activities the teachers planned in the classroom. As parents, we loved attending the school field trips, holiday programs and weekly chapel times. We appreciate the community MPCS has built for the families. It warms my heart to know that the friendships my kiddo made in class has transferred over to the TK environment, where there are 2 other MPCS graduates in the same class! MPCS is a true gem! They offer a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels loved and valued. The staff is dedicated and invested in the well-being and growth of each child, fostering both emotional, intellectual and spiritual development. It's a place where both parents and kids can feel confident and cared for every day.

my son just completed his final year at monterey park christian school and is now transitioning…read moreinto public school. while we're grateful for the relief of not paying tuition anymore, leaving MPCS is truly bittersweet...it feels like we're saying goodbye to a second home. my son was deeply loved and nurtured. he absolutely thrived at MPCS at such a formative time of his life. he still tells me how sad he is to leave, and i'm not surprised to hear that; the staff and teachers loved him like he was their own, and i never once felt judged as a mom, even during his challenging moments. they always supported us with such grace, especially during the potty training days (my gosh, i don't think i could have gotten through that season without their partnership; potty training my stubborn son was hard! lol). he would come home every day singing songs, telling stories about the new things he learned, how he enjoyed playing with his friends. he often didn't want to leave school during pick up because he just loved being there. one day, he even told me he loved the school director, mrs. desireé, because "she's so beautiful~ i like her." my heart just melted lol. i'm going to miss this school deeply. it's been a place of joy, safety, growth, and the love of God. MPCS will always, always hold a special place in our hearts. if you're considering preschools/daycares, i wholeheartedly recommend monterey park christian school. in all the choices i've made for my son's life as his mom, this is one where i have absolutely zero regrets.

This school is Amazing. I began working here as a teachers aide two weeks ago. The teachers for…read morePre-K Special needs are so caring. They are passionate about each kid. They also listen!! To the kids . They go the distance to let each child know they are special, unique and loved. I would want teachers like this for my children. I'm sure each child's growth and life will be blessed by the teachers here. Out of every school I've worked for this school genuinely cares for the well being, growth and nurturing for kids. I've seen it with the kids and STAFF in the playground as well. The kids aren't rude, I've walked around and many of them speak to me and waive and say Goodmorning and if some had bad experience they should remember children are still growing and learning from the Staff and parents. I truly hope this school continues to flourish with great STAFF that will provide a safe and pleasant environment. I Sure would appreciate that if I was a kid or student again

My son has been with Maryvale's early education in the infant class for about 6 months and I have…read morenothing but AMAZING things to say about the teachers, staff and community at Maryvale. They make you feel like family and when I drop my son off I know he is in the best hands. He had not been around anyone else but myself prior to enrolling so there was an adjustment period for him to get comfortable, now he feels the car park and is jumping out of his seat and excited for school. The teachers are super knowledgeable, communicate very well with parents, and are super personable with the children. Thank you Maryvale for being extended family. (In regards to other reviews talking about sick children - Yes, being in a new environment you are introduced to new germs, there is a possibility of getting sick it passes as your immune systems grow as with anywhere - the same could happen at Disneyland)

They immediately terminated me and exited me out the program within three days with nowhere to go with my seven year-old daughter in a middle of a heat wave. This program is horrible they treat u like u just came out of prison felt more like a rehab home! You're not allowed to have certain things in the room they take away eyelash glue hairdryer straightener pencil sharpener shavers can't even have nail polish, they search you every time u come into the building. I'm a working mom and they mad it hard for me to go to work on certain days. Rhe and Deborah talked badly about other moms there on how lazy they are and don't want to work and jump from shelter to shelters, but then when u have a working mom and need to leave ur child with someone for the night so u can work they say no! This program is meant for lazy young moms that have nothing going for themselves! Then u have a staff name Marissa getting hostile cause ur going back and forth to car to load ur belongings and threatening to call cops because my child was safe in her room. Ya I definitely don't recommend this program unless ur desperate

Our two kids who are now 3 and 5 years old have attended Meher since they were 2 years old. Our…read morelove for the school was truly put to the test when the Altadena campus (and also our home) burned down in the Eaton fire earlier this year. We had a choice to make whether we wanted to continue on, meaning a much longer commute and many more hours each day away from our little ones so they could attend the other campus in Monterey park. We made the right decision to stay with Meher. The school went above an beyond to wrap around its impacted families during this crisis. When we were displaced we were even invited into a zoom class room so the kids could stay connected to their classmates. They did not fall behind, and had a loving environment to return to when we came home. We trust their approach to normal misbehavior and conflict between kids, and the kids trust that when they are there their needs are met. The structure is comforting for them and the lessons engaging. We love that the school has a loving and professional approach to child development. We feel there is a real investment in our kids learning how to do things on their own, which we have noticed contributes to their confidence and eagerness to discover and learn. The teaching staff is well versed and continuously learning how to be great teachers. It is not "childcare" it is truly school in a way that sets the kids up for confidence and success. We feel lucky to be part of this community and after looking at other options, are clear this is the right place for our little ones.
