RSA was the best choice I made. I never have to worry about my son while he is in their care because the ladies here are amazing. Mrs. Sana always answers any questions I have. Mrs. Samayeh and Mrs. Luisa treat my son VERY well. Mrs. Perla is very friendly and helpful as well. I could not ask for a better place to send my son. They take care of him like he is one of their own. I would definitely recommend taking your children here!! They will be safe and cared for.

My son just started coming here again after taking a year off when my work schedule changed. During this last year he was at home he would ask for his two teachers that he had there, constantly. Small little things would remind him of them and he would ask when can he “go back to school”. When the time came I knew exactly where I wanted to enroll him. Since he’s started again this month, he has been nothing but smiles and excitement, which in turn, has made this transition so much easier. We as moms can struggle with mom guilt so often when it comes to leaving our children in others care while we work. We wouldn’t choose any other place than Rising Star. We love the teachers, he enjoys his time there and he enjoys the enrichment he receives through all of the special classes and experiences he gets. I know he is well cared for and I would recommend Rising Star to any and all friends with children who might be looking for care. Ms. Emma, Ms. Mailyn, and Ms. Mariangela, Ms. Perla and Ms. Sana are wonderful and we are so thankful for them! ❤️

In our second year at Rising Star and we've had nothing but great experiences so far! There's nothing more comforting as a mom than my toddler getting EXCITED to go to school everyday. The teachers make her feel so loved ❤️

My son spent last 2+ yrs at RS and we have very fond memories. It was really tough for him to leave here and join the elementary but I am proud to say that RS has prepared him very well to tackle his new journey. Special thanks to Ms Perla for her kindness and positive nature. She made a marked difference to the school's ambience. Also lots of thanks for Ms Shradha who spent the past year with the kids, preparing them for school. She made learning fun and I saw marked improvement in my son's reading writing and numeracy skills which has built a great foundation for my son's school years to come. At the same time I saw her instil a strong value within the kids. I saw her treat each kids with much affection and care that allowed them build confidence and strong persobality. Thank you for taking care and teaching our son

RSA has been nothing short of a blessing for our family. Apprehensive to enroll my son at 5 months, the warmth, experience and dedication of the RSA staff alleviated any and all nerves. Of the places we visited, they exuded the most caring and engaging energy, which continued throughout our son's enrollment. He literally knows and is greeted with love and affection by every single teacher there, and it is lovely and reassuring to see him totally comfortable, happy and excited to go to school. The Infant room teachers - Ms. Luisa and Ms. Somayeh are an amazing duo and balance each really well. Ms. Luisa is extremely organized, diligent, and creative with lesson plans - have no idea how she comes up with such sweet and fun crafts for babies! Ms. Somayeh has the most caring, warm and attentive style, and can magically calm any and all the babies. I have walked in multiple times where she somehow gets all the babies to sleep soundly. My son is always so happy to see them both. They both have extensive experience with infant and pre-k education, and have helped my and partner navigate the many developmental milestones and changes in my son's first year. As for the overall center, they are one of the most reasonably priced centers for high quality childcare and community. Some of the features my family has most valued and appreciated include: 1 - Genuine warmth and care exhibited by the staff, especially the director, Ms. Perla, who is a Jack(ie) of all trades and a true anchor of the center, engaging wherever she is needed and so excellent at building an effective and cohesive team of teachers and support staff. 2 - Clean, well-kept and versatile center space including an indoor gym which has been particularly useful during hot/rainy weather, beautiful vegetated outdoor play area, library, and activity rooms. What I appreciated especially for my infant son is that his room was very spacious (relative to other centers visited) and because of the various center spaces, he was not confined to the infant room all day, e.g. he got to play in the gym, outside and in library, etc. They also provide freshly prepared (in the center) food, which was really great as my son started eating solids. 3 - They provide many community supportive services, including holiday events, mother/father/grandparent days, and monthly parents' nights out, which is especially valuable for parents without family or established babysitters. 4 - They provide very flexible monthly payment plans, and the director and staff made enrollment and administrative tasks very easy and clear. Overall, RSA exceeded my expectations, and provided my family immense comfort and confidence with putting our son into childcare in order to return to work. If we were not moving away from the area, we would gladly keep him enrolled.
