THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE-OCEANSIDE REVIEWS

Our eldest son went to TLE from 5 months to almost 5 years, our youngest is still there. TLE did a wonderful job preparing our eldest for elementary school. Everything his elementary school listed as being something the new students would need to work on and get used to he had already been doing at TLE. When he got home from his second day, I asked him how he was liking his new school, he joyfully told me "It's just like Bubbles and Friends school!" The transition has been very easy. From learning to walk to potty training to getting ready for elementary school, TLE has been very supportive for each stage and transition.

TLE has been absolutely wonderful for my family! My oldest child began attending as an infant, when the school first opened six years ago, and my youngest, who also began as an infant, is now approaching preschool age. Both have benefitted tremendously from their time at TLE, and both completely love it. As a parent, there can be a lot of stress and worry about enrolling your child in a daycare. In retrospect, I am SO glad I enrolled my kids at TLE and I strongly believe that there is no other caregiver, nanny, relative, etc., who could have given them the education and experience that they have gotten at this school.

We’ve used TLE since January 2020 and I’m happy to say we are still attending. We now have two kiddos attending and TLE feels like family. My four year old blows me out of the water with the things she learns and I’m thankful that they mirror the same values we have at home for our kids. The staff is wonderful and kind. They listen any time we have concerns and we come up with solutions together that work for everyone. The owners are in house most weeks and are very involved in daily activities. I adore the things they send home and how they decorate the classrooms/halls/entryway. The app is pretty great and is updated throughout the day (mostly in real time) with activities, pictures, meals, etc. The curriculum is something my daughter is always coming home and telling me about, since they have characters to make it more fun for the kids. The facility itself is clean, updated, and safe.

LA PETITE ACADEMY OF OCEANSIDE REVIEWS

They love this school and wish we would have found it sooner! The genuine care, love, support, and education my child receives from the staff to the teachers are truly amazing. The curriculum - art, yoga, Spanish, sign language, science, math and much more - provides a rich environment for learning and has set my daughter up for success. This school is the best of the best, the gold standard for your child's preschool and overall development. I highly recommend you book a tour without hesitation.

We're very happy their son went to this school. Everyone here is very welcoming and their son really enjoyed his time here. All of the teachers are very good of whom my son all loved. His teachers that really stood out were Ms. Kristy and Ms. Cheri. The education is outstanding and they provide many hands-on activities. We highly recommend this school.

I was so impressed with how quickly Susie called me back about childcare. Unfortunately, COVID hit and we weren't able to get it, but I am still very impressed with the professionalism.

ROYAL MONTESSORI SCHOOL OF OCEANSIDE REVIEWS

Our son has been attending Royal Montessori for a little over a year now. He started when he was 5 months old and is now 18 months. The teachers are so understanding and patient with the children, and I love to see how much he learns day to day. It's always hard to leave your children with 'strangers' but they've become like a second family to us. We couldn't ask for a better place for our son to be everyday. They are so communicative with us - they use the ProCare app to update you throughout the day with their activities, photos, snacks, etc. I've already recommended this place to multiple folks at my job and have nothing but high praise for Royal Montessori!.

Royal Montessori has been an amazing find! They’re provide an incredibly nurturing and safe environment for the kids, and show them all so much love and care. My child is excited to go to school every day. The growth we’ve seen since starting has been incredible! The teachers and director are amazing — they truly care for the kids. The school itself is very clean, and well organized! They have a good sized outdoor play area for the kids. I am so happy with this school and could not recommend it more.

Royal Montessori School of Oceanside is the most wonderful place for our little 2 year old boy! We started him at 17 months and it has been the best decision we made with his childcare! All of the staff are very caring, kind, and supportive. The school itself is beautiful and immaculately clean. Our little boy is incredibly happy and his language and development have blossomed since he started there. I’m sure it’s partially developmental but it’s also because of the learning environment of RMSO. We love and highly recommend the school for you infant through TKer!.
