All Seasons Children Learning Center

Ms Sherri is the BEST teacher you can ever asked for!!! She goes above and beyond to love and care for my 2 kids. My daughter came home with better manner everyday because of her teacher guided her, I like this part the most!

My 5-​year-​old daughter is currently in Mrs. Sherri’s kindergarten class. My daughter tells me that her teacher is funny and that she loves her teacher (I saw her hugging her teacher a few times). Her teacher is pleasant, energetic, and a good listener. She always asks if I have any questions or concerns and tells me about my daughter’s day. I truly think she loves and enjoys working with children. My daughter also had Mrs. Nina and Ms. Bonita as her pre-​kindergarten teachers and they are caring and kind too. Director Mrs. Guzman’s circle times are very informative and she is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Senior director Mrs. Potter is very professional with her daily overview and does a great job in keeping the school clean and organized. All of the staff in this school are polite and nice. I highly recommend this preschool!

We feel compelled to write in support of All Seasons and Ms. Sherri in light of recent criticism. Our experiences at All Seasons have been significantly better.
Both of our children recently attended All Seasons. Sending them here was one of the best decisions we made as parents. The pace of learning, driven by the faculty, is amazing. Our children can read at several grades higher and have an excellent foundation for future academic challenges.
The faculty and staff at All Seasons are absolutely wonderful. They are clearly dedicated to the well-​being and growth of the children under their care. Director Guzman is a remarkable educator. During her famous Circle Time, she presents current events and advance topics in her unique style that encourages children to soak in new knowledge.
Our children were privileged to have being under the tutelage of Ms. Tyna, Ms. Sherri, and Mrs. Minerva. They are all wonderful teachers who always have children’s best interest in mind. Our children loved their teachers and going to All Seasons every morning. We are immensely grateful for their efforts.
Regarding Ms. Sherri, we have the utmost confidence in her teaching ability. Not one time did she ever do anything that would have raised our eyebrows. She was very forthcoming and transparent with her classroom management techniques, and I am sure she would engage us openly if there were any behavioral concerns with our children. We find Liz’s feedbacks on Ms. Sherry to be prejudicially uncharacteristic of her service as a teacher.
All Seasons has an excellent team of experienced faculty and staff, with strong leadership and teaching philosophy from Directors Guzman and Potter. Their program is top-​notch and clearly have excellent results. We strongly recommend All Seasons to any parents who is looking for a wonderful place to start their children’s academic journey.

All Seasons Children Learning Center is a great school that emphasizes on developing a strong academic foundation for all of their students. They encourage children to learn above and beyond what may be required at that level. The school is kept very clean and well organized. All the staff are very nice, caring, courteous and helpful.
Since the wait list to All Seasons was quite long, my daughter attended a Montessori school first. It was a struggle every morning to get her to go to the Montessori school. She never wanted to go to school.
Now that she is attending All Seasons, her attitude towards school has been very positive. I think the overall environment (school being very clean, bright and organized, and teachers/​staff are nice, caring and encouraging) plays a significant role in this positive/​constructive change. It is a delight to see how happy she is now.
I agree with Eddy S. that Circle Time with Mrs. Guzman is wonderful. She teaches/​introduces the children to many amazing facts about science, insects/​animals, body parts, and history. They also get to sing, read and have sharing time.
My daughter is currently in Ms. Sherri’s class. We see a positive difference in her level of confidence as she continues her learning with Ms. Sherri. I think this stems from my daughter feeling the positive encouragement and kindness from Ms Sherri.
There was an incident at school where one little girl was being mean to my daughter and Ms Sherri handled it immediately and professionally. She spoke to the girl… explaining to her that it is not nice to be mean or say hurtful things about anyone. Ms Sherri also spoke to the parents of that child the same night and made them aware that such behavior (at school or out of school) is not acceptable. Since she was nice and professional about it, the girls did not have any hard feelings toward each other and are now playing together as well.
I also have to say that I respectfully disagree with Liz L about her trying to discredit Ms Sherri as an excellent educator and a fabulous person. My daughter is not perfect. She has told me that she has gotten in trouble for «talking» during nap time. But she has never told me that she was «punished» or «reprimanded» because she was misbehaving during nap time.
I truly believe that Liz L. has taken this incident about her grandson overboard or out of context. If she thought the «disciplinary action — writing his name 100x» (if it were in fact true) was too extreme then she should have brought it up (within appropriate time) to Mrs. Potter or Mrs. Guzman. Talk about it and clear it up rather than bringing it up on social media and trying to hurt the reputation of the school and/​or the teachers. I do feel sorry for the grandson’s future teachers. If he does ever get disciplined for misbehaving, look out… you’re getting HELL from his Grandma!
Btw, this is my second year at All Seasons. I have to say that I am Quite HURT that Ms Sherri has NOT solicited me with the Honda car sales card. I guess I am not in the «IN» crowd!

I am a longtime Unilocal user but the comment by Liz prompted me to write my first Unilocal review.
I have 2 children who went to All Seasons and have the pleasure of having Mrs. Sherri as their teacher for 2 years. They are currently 3^rd and 7^th graders.
My children have never experienced anything like what Liz described, her claims are totally out of character with what our family experienced in the 6 years they attended All Seasons. Mrs. Sherri have been a kind, caring and generous teacher to my children. In fact we still visit All Seasons every Christmas to share holiday spirits with them.
In addition to Mrs. Sherri, we also had the pleasure of having Mrs. Minerva and Ms. Lina, who are also wonderful teachers, teaching our children. Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Guzman are great educators who provide a great environment for our children grow and thrive.
I do not want to let substantiated and baseless claims besmirch the good name and reputation of a great school and a great teacher. As another reviewer commented, Liz should have brought this to the attention of Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Guzman first rather than coming to Unilocal and write a review that does not have the necessary information (i.e. date and her grandson’s name) for them to investigate her claim.

Not only that All Seasons has built a strong foundation in academics but also the positive attitude and proper manners for both my daughter and son.
Yes, the waiting list is long. My daughter attended different preschools while waiting for a spot at All Seasons. Well, it was worth the wait.
Currently my daughter is in 10^th grade at Arcadia High with a perfect GPA and received Presidential Awards in middle school.
My son is in 3^rd grade with reading level of 6^th grader, PR range at 95 in his STAR Reading Test (reads at a level greater than 95% of other students nationally in the same grade).
When my kids just transferred to All Seasons from other preschool„ it took several months for them to adapt to All Seasons standard.
Thanks to All Seasons, now my kids going through their homeworks and studies without much difficulties.
I loved Mrs Guzman’s Circle Time which introduced the current event/​natural disaster, insects/​animals, etc. I learnt something new every now and then when my kids shared interesting facts from Circle Time.
The place was clean and organized. Embarrassed to admit that sometimes when I pickup my kid late, I always saw Mrs Potter inspecting and cleaning the class.
We still visited All Seasons once in a while and became good friends with the faculty. Not to mention that my son missed the hot delicious meals at All Seasons.
All the staffs are very polite and caring.
Mrs Potter’s door is always open if you have any concerns. I believe Mrs Potter or Mrs Guzman will try their best to resolve the issue if you at least gave them a chance instead of posting on a social media.
Good luck to theose parents who wish their kids enroll at All Seasons and submit your application when your baby is born.

My daughter is a student at All Seasons and we could not be happier with our choice of preschool for her. The school focuses on proper manners and academics, both of which are important to me. My daughter LOVES school and she asks everyday whether it’s a school day. She comes home from school super happy and excited to tell me about her day with her friends. I am a busy working mom, and it gives me incredible comfort to know that my daughter is being taken care of during the day by loving teachers who teach her how to be a good citizen of the world.
Although Ms. Sherri is not my daughter’s teacher, I know Ms. Sherri well. She has always been kind and caring towards my daughter and Ms. Sherri is one of my daughter’s favorite teachers at the school. I can tell from Ms. Sherri’s interactions with the children in the school that the kids love her and respect her. I am therefore shocked at the review by Liz L. and agree that it seems like a personal vendetta towards Ms. Sherri. The review was also very odd in that it mentions the grandson attends third grade at the school, but the school only goes up to kindergarten. That just proves to me that Liz L. does not have all of her facts straight.
Overall, I feel very lucky that my daughter is able to attend All Seasons and her little brother will follow in her footsteps in a couple of years.

My daughter is a student at All Seasons and we could not be happier with our choice of preschool/​kindergarten for her. It’s not a big school, which is great because it really makes you feel like the school is a small community. My daughter loves school and asks everyday if it is a school day. She comes home from school super happy and excited to tell me about her day with her friends. The school focuses on proper manners and academics, both of which are important to me. At 3.5 years old, my daughter has «homework» everyday, but homework only takes about a minute or two to finish, so it’s not a great burden. It’s more about setting her up to get used to homework and following directions.
I agree with the other reviewers and am absolutely shocked by the review left by Liz L. Something is a little off there, because she mentions that her grandson attends 3^rd grade at the school, but the school only goes up to kindergarten. Also, it mentions that the grandson is a former student at the school. It’s strange that Liz L. would choose to post her review after her grandson has already left the school. If she is concerned for the well being of current students at the school, she should have brought up the incident to Ms. Guzman and Ms. Potter immediately, and not wait until months (?) later. Ms. Sherri is not my daughter’s teacher but I know her well. She has always been kind and caring towards my daughter and she is actually one of my daughter’s favorite teachers at the school (next to Ms. Deanna, who is her actual teacher).
Overall, I feel very lucky that my daughter attends All Seasons and that her little brother will be able to follow in her footsteps in a couple of years. The waitlist is long and there is a good reason for it.

All Seasons is definitely an excellent school. The faculty and staff go way above and beyond. Mrs. Guzman and Mrs. Potter are very professional, caring, and highly respected. They put in 100% and beyond to make sure the children are safe, learning at their level, and keeping the facility clean. I love that the children are always reminded to wash their hands every time they come in from playing outside.
The teachers are all very kind, knowledgeable, patient, and caring. My child is in kindergarten now, so unfortunately it’s her last year. My daughter’s been going there for the past three years and I think all the teachers are wonderful, but I’d have to say I especially give thanks to her kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Sherri. My child’s reading and academic level is way above my expectations. I’m still amazed when I see her weekly class work. Mrs. Sherri is such an excellent teacher and I am so grateful to have her as my daughters primary teacher. It says a lot when my daughter respects and likes her so much. My mother even tells me how much she likes Mrs. Sherri, and she is really particular. I am grateful that Mrs. Sherri is so caring, loving, yet strict. Manners, fairness, education, and respect are very important to me and I feel Mrs. Sherri does an excellent job with teaching that to the children at school. I appreciate the time she takes to talk to the parents and grandparent. She never hesitates to offer her help and time to anyone. A wonderful teacher with all of these aspects is priceless.
I’m very thankful for the school keeping all the parents informed on all the updates and concerns. I highly recommend this school. It took a couple years being on the wait list but it was worth every minute.
As for the only three star rating, I also highly disagree with Liz L.‘s comments about my child’s current teacher. If there was a concern about an incident that happened, it should have been discussed at that time with Mrs. Guzman or Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Sherri being present. There’s no need for accusations and «mean spirited behavior» on this review. It sounds like a personal vendetta to me. I totally agree with R L. and Reee C.

I LOVE this school. Great faculty and staff. Both of my daughters attended this school and came out reading beyond their academic school levels. Mrs. Guzman and Mrs. Potter are both so wonderful, generous and so caring of all the students and faculty. Their facility is super clean and safety is always practiced so I am so grateful for it. The staff members are great at helping to encourage the students to learn and to understand the foundations for academic success. I have recommended this school to family and friends and their kids are also now attending the school. The kids learn so much academically and socially. Circle time is the best time.
Both my daughters had Mrs. Sherri and I am so grateful for all that she and the other teachers did for them to help them thrive and succeed. She always kept the parents aware of any issues that arise. My daughters love coming to school and learning. They always had good things to say about Ms. Sherri and this made it easier as a working mom for me to feel comfortable leaving them all day.
Waiting list is super long so sign your kids up as soon as you know you would like them to be in a preschool environment. Take it from a working mom who is meticulous about her daughters academic and social skills, it is worth the wait to have your children attend this school.
As for the comment made by Liz L., I too have to disagree with your comments. As a parent, we all know that our kids can act differently in school than at home. The fact that you are writing the review and not the parent is a little concerning. I actually have two big concerns on your comment: 1. I have to agree with R.L. that the best step to getting any problem resolved is to speak with the faculty. That should have been the first step. Mrs. Guzman and Mrs. Potter both have a very open door policy. 2. The fact that you mention that Ms. Minerva was your grandson’s 3^rd grade teacher is proving to me that you do not have all your evidence in place. The school only teaches up to kindergarten. Are you thinking of a wrong school?
Hopefully you will reflect on the harsh accusative words. Hurting the reputation of a very good school and of a very good educator is not the way to address your concerns especially when everything is all circumstantial based on hearsay comments — this is how bad rumors begin…

In response to Liz L:
I’m usually not the kind of person that likes to leave reviews or interfere with other people’s businesses. But after reading the recent review that you wrote on one of the educators at All Seasons truly saddens me. Not only all the false accusations on there hurts Ms. Sherri as a person, it also degrades the school as well. As a parent of two children who have studied at All Seasons, I strongly disagree with what you wrote. First of all, all the staff including Ms. Sherri would never wrongfully punish a child using unreasonable methods. Second, having my own child spending two years in Ms. Sherri’s class, I have never seen or experience any negative actions from the teacher. Finally, it is absolutely absurd that you would accuse Ms. Sherri selling cars to other parents in order to receive commission. To say the least, my children has excelled not only academically, but also developed strong and confident personalities because of the excellent staff of All Season. All in all, I would encourage that you do not let one single negative personal opinion ruin the reputation of the school as a whole.

In response to Liz L:
I respectfully say that I would like to disagree with you and your harsh judgement of the Ms. Sherri. As someone who attended All Seasons myself, I have to say that it is unprofessional of you to take your unsupported claims out on a public review site to hurt the reputation of all seasons. If like you claim your grandson had an issue, I think the correct steps to follow through on your purported concerns is to speak to administration directly and not post hearsay for others to read. You claim that she has failed as an educator, based on your supposed claims of disciplining children, but that comment is harsh and overarching when considering the actual issue at hand. Please reconsider before hurting the reputation of local business the next time you give a bad review, as All Seasons never did you any wrong, and leaving a bad review taints all of the hard work Ms. Guzman and Ms. Potter put into educating children just like your grandson.

My son is finishing up his last year at this terrific school All Seasons in Arcadia. We are very pleased with the director, faculty. and the environment they set up for my son. My child has thrived academically and personally at All Seasons and we couldn’t be happier with our choice to put him here…
My son has blossomed both educationally and socially. We love the nurturing and skilled teachers, the respect that parents receive from the school and staff, the way my children is challenged and provided with the homework (math/​english) to excel beyond the norm of any other school.
Special notes — Ms. Guzman is a terrific individual putting in 100% efforts to have these kids well educated. Matter of fact every time I see Ms. Guzman during the circle times it amazes me with her energy and dedication EVERY SINGLE DAY. I don’t recall seeing Ms Guzman being out sick or not energetic self… btw, Ms. Guzman has to be in her 80’s and she is bringing her A+ efforts every single day.

I love this school especially during circle time. Students learned so much. First, my kids don’t get sick from school because hygiene is extremely important so no virus or germs will pass around among the kids. The school is very academic. The teachers are really patient and friendly with the kids. My child learned so much from this school that she is capable of reading level 1 book at age 4.
My kids never get hurt as safety is very important so I don’t have to worry.
Once the child is in the school, you will see those parents for the next three years. The parents are super friendly. As for other schools, you often see different kids and different parents all the times.
Please note that the waiting list for this school is approximately 2.5 to 3.0 years. Make sure you submit the application forms when your child is born.

The school is amazing… Your kids will learn a lot and the teachers are really nice too

My son goes to this school. The waiting list is long. We put my son’s name on the list when he was 5 month old and didn’t get in until he is 3 and ½ yrs old.
The facility is clean, really clean. Less sick days and happier kids!
The playground has a nice shade.
The programs are Academic centric. There are daily home works, weekly quizzes, and semiannual exams. I think it’s better for the kids to pick up the study habit early.

I have 3 of my daughters graduated from this school~~ they have the Best program, director, and teachers! They got actual people who really cares for children! I also have great news to share with you — Mrs. Guzman is one of the six winners of the LAUP Preschool Teacher of the Year Awards! She is well deserved!

Very happy with the school. My two nephews are currently enrolled and I could not be more pleased with the care they receive. The program is well thought out and the 4 year old is already reading fluently. I very much disagree with some of the comments posted. I have and would highly recommend the school. The facility is always clean and well taken care of and the staff is top notch. I also have referred several other parents to the school and they are very pleased with the service. My nephew who graduated from the school this summer has tested very high in reading and math and his parents were told he was at a second grade level. My brother is very pleased with the education he received.
