Just 4 Kids Preschool of Murrieta — Local services in Murrieta

My 5 star is only for the teachers and the changes new ownership brought. My son went the Crayon Ranch for 2 years. His yellow room teacher Mrs Cheryl was a doll! Very sweet and kind with him. Ms Maureen was his blue room teacher, always fun and spunky having a good time with the kids. Red room (pre k) introduced us to Ms Ariana! I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate Ariana!! She did so much for my son, so thoughtful and patient. Encouraging and as we went through some tough times within our family she was there for him in every way she could be. We would text throughout the day, she kept me in the loop and we would collaborate on what would work best for him. She always took time at the end of each day prepping activities for the next day, using her own money to buy them surprises and host events for them. She was loving, empathetic and resilient! Those kids gave her a hard time some days and she was always calm and guiding them positively! I will always hold a special place for her for all she was for me and my son as he prepped for kindergarten. Thank you Ariana for all you do and for how much you cared for my baby!!! The office staff I could do with Britney and all the times she did not handle issues properly and even made them worse! She allowed harmful and reckless behavior to continue leaving my child with physical scars made my another child who stabbed him with a train track and even hushed me when I tried to address some of those issues with her In times I felt my son wasn’t safe with other children she did not comfort me in knowing he would be protected and safe. But Ariana as always took extra measures to be there for my son and letting me know he was safe, how he was doing not only on the portal but texting me, calling and sending pictures! I truly adore and appreciate her. Any child with her is lucky and she will go above and beyond for them! She and the other teachers are why we continued at the school but the director Britney I wish was replaced. Thank you Cheryl, Maureen and ARIANA!!! Thank you for loving my son and being so good to me and him! You are what make that...

My oldest daughter went here in 2018. It was great. She loved it and thrived at this daycare. So when we were considering day care options for my toddler for 2020 it was no question that she would also attend crayon ranch. WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE. The way the new director runs this daycare is completely different than it used to be. I was literally shocked when she introduced herself as the director as this women was completely unprofessional and I would be surprised if she had any child care experience at all. My two year old was teething and therefore started biting. After her second incident the director scolded my child in front of me and told me if she bit another child “she’s done”. I was shocked. So they were not looking to find a solution to the biting or work with me to work with her she was just done. The director then went to describe how the toddler my daughter bit was her friend and a very sweet toddler and that she had no idea why my daughter wanted to hurt her. I literally couldn’t believe what I was hearing. This woman made my 2 year old out to me a mean girl!! Then when she bit for a third time the director stood outside my daughters door and stated we are “letting her go”. And no you will not be credited for the rest of the week since it’s us terminating her. She was so rude and unprofessional. I am overall happy that my daughter is not attending this school as I would not trust the director overseeing my daughter. She is attending a new daycare where all of a sudden she is once again doing great with absolutely no biting. It’s sad to see such a good school go down the drain. My advise is to take your...

Crayon Ranch has a wonderful staff that cares about each family and makes the children feel special. Two of my children have been fortunate enough to be cared for by Miss Linda and Miss Carmen over the years. There has never been a doubt that I have always trusted that my children are very safe in their care. The curriculum is age appropriate and very educational too! The food prepared by Miss Elsa is wonderful and smells so good when you walk in the lobby! The limo rides to and from school are going to be fantastic childhood memories! I also love the fact that the facility is secure, very clean, and not on a busy street. It is in a quiet neighborhood away from traffic. The kids look forward to being there and have made many friends. I am sooooooooo lucky to have found such a fantastic place to assist me with my children. Miss Crystal is great with homework help too, so after a long day at work, there is not the frantic worry of rushing home for dinner and then trying to just start the homework with the children. This is not your typical day care center, this child care center is awesome!!! The teachers are truly an appreciated extended family. It has been a pleasure for us getting to know all of you. Thank you to all of the Crayon Ranch teachers and staff for all that you have done for my family over the years and for all that you continue to do for other...
