Monterey Park Christian School

"The administration is a joke. They turn a blind eye to bullying and special need children acting out. If your child is victim to bullying from another child, they victim blame instead of addressing the root issue. They allowed my 3 year old daughter to be grabbed by the throat by another little boy who is a known bully and has hurt many other kids and even staff. They still won't do anything. They told some parents that this is a new issue with the boy or that there are problems at home that his parents are working on. But when my husband asked for our daughter to be in a different class Mrs Wong told him this can't be guaranteed because if they put all the kids he hurt in a class away from him, he would be in a class by himself. When I started demanding, they kept my daughter separate from him. They failed multiple times, and my daughter kept getting injured by him. He is physically attacking other children, and the administration STILL victim blames. Even when 1 child had scratches on his face by him, teachers said they never noticed it when his mom asked what happened. How do you not notice a child with scratches on his face?? How badly are they neglecting these children where a child appears with noticeable scratches on both cheeks out of nowhere and nobody cared to notice?! When his personality started to change due to the bullying of this child...the same one who grabbed my daughter by the throat, who almost broke an aids glasses, been removed from a tadpole class for not getting along with each child in that class, PUSHED ANOTHER CHILD DOWN THE STAIRS (YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT!!!), bites kids and bullies other kids, yet the administration blames the poor victim's personality change and nightmares on his sleeping schedule. At least 3 children have left this school so far due to the horrible way they are addressing bullying at this school, and afraid of this very problematic child. They won't expell or remove a child from school either. Just stupid incident reports will be emailed out. If your child sticks up for themselves while being bullied, your child will get in trouble. Not just the bully who is hurting your kid. So, in other words, mpcs is telling children to shut up and take abuse in silence.  I'm not about that life. I want my daughter to defend herself or at least know that if she comes to an adult for help, they will listen and help her. There are plenty of children and parents who complained about this child, and they still don't do anything but blame the victims. I have a screenshot of where the director told me she would pray to God to protect my child. Because God is the only one who can protect her. I get that this is a religious institution, but no. Praying won't fix this issue. That's a cheap way to say you won't do your job. Everything is hand-me-downs...toys, equipment etc and they don't even have child sized toilets. They did a renovation recently and put in normal sized toilets even tho they promised us child size toilets. Children have fallen into their own urine/poops. Administration just wants your money so they won't care if your child comes in sick unless it's very bad and can't be ignored. This leads to an outbreak of something or another almost every other week. There's no structure anymore. it's a free for all, over priced play date. they leave the jugs of water for the kid outside in direct sunlight. This is a huge health risk. Bottled water should never be left in cars or direct sunlight due to the rays of the sun causing the plastic to soften and release chemicals into the water. Licensing has come out more than usual in 2023. I regret recommending this place to friends and having people join the school. If you value your child's safety and well-being and future mental health, GO ELSEWHERE I have so much more to share, if you want more info, find my review on yelp and send me a message"

"Could someone tell me if it is full time or just part time?"

"I'm so glad i chose MPCS for my niece Sophie Hwang. She has excelled beyond my expectation. Reading and writing just exactly the way Mrs Wong promised. Mrs Tolosa is a wonderful teacher Sophie can't stop metioning her at the dinner table. All the staff in the day care area are just as great too! oh i almost for got Mr.Tran thank you for all the extras."

"I can not be more happier with this amazing school. It's worth taking my son and trusting them with my baby. The staff are awesome, loving and have a great relationship with the Lord. It's worth driving 40 minutes of traffic knowing my son is learning and is happy!! God Bless you all!"

"I'll keep everyone updated. Still observing. Make sure the kids get water."
