Best preschool ever. My son has been going to AIP since he was 2.5 yrs old. I did research and school tours to several preschools in the neighborhood and eventually... Read more picked AIP. There are couple reasons why.
1. The school is VERY CLEAN. They strictly follow CDC guideline and go beyond. They require kids and teacher to wear masks ALL the time (As someone work in heath care field, I think this is extremely important during COVID pandemic especially this age group has not been vaccinated yet.) They checked for signs and symptoms and sanitized everyone before entering and leaving the school, not to mention frequent hand washing and other hygiene practice. They also wash all the toys every week.
2. All the teacher and staffs are friendly and professional. My son didn't speak English at all and had never been to any school before joining AIP. The teachers somehow work their magic to calm him down and ease his nerve. Now he is happy and singing the songs he learned at school everyday. His teachers potty trained him and set his nap routine with ease. (Which I tried to do it myself and failed miserably). Academically speaking, he has been learning letters, colors, shapes and numbers at school and a lot more at AIP.
3. AIP serves HOT food. They have on-site chef to cook fresh lunch. They served healthy meals with ingredients from trader joe. All the meals were prepared with balanced nutrients and details. (They even cut the grapes in quarters to avoid choking hazards!)
4. The teachers and staffs are accessible and they communicate very efficient. They will talk to you when you drop off /pick up your kid or send emails and make sure school and parents are on the same page. If I have any concerns, I can talk to them and they respond right away.
5. Their drop-off (8-9:45am) and pick-up (4:30-6:00pm) hours are very parent-friendly.
Overall, my son is happy, safe and healthy at AIP. Definitely recommend!Mia K.
3/29/2022During the pandemic, the decision to send my child back to school was quite nerve wrecking however I soon realized that under this school's supervision and protocols, there is zero... Read more worry or concern as they have gone above and beyond expectations. To give insight on how amazing this school is and how much they truly care about the safety and well being of the children and staff - every morning there is a check in with a checklist/questionnaire, then a health check (which you cannot just drop and leave, you must wait until they give the clear after checking body temperature, any visible signs like cough, runny nose, rash or pink eye etc.) all while there is a floor mat to sanitize the soles of shoes before entering the facility and a child safe non toxic mist to de-germ the full body along with backpack and bedding. Throughout the first days, Mrs. Nil the director, sent photos of my baby in learning. To be honest, I cried when I had to send him back but I knew that being in a social environment is crucial to his development and I frankly needed the free time to continue to work! Wow, Ill tell you, how impressed I was- every child was masked, with table dividers and their own set of writing instruments labeled individually (no sharing of surfaces or cross contamination!). While they exercise, there is floor stickers so they remained 6 feet apart. The only time they remove masks is during lunch and naps. I must say that they have stayed on top of it in terms of keeping everyone safe as my child has not even caught the common cold since returning to school after the shut down! He used to catch a cold bug every few weeks but since the re-opening in august, he hasn't gotten sick even once! What's funny, is my son even tells me not to give him too tight of hugs as he say to me "no mom, social distancing"! Oh boy, he is learning a lot and learning well in this school. That to me is proof and fact that the school is extremely careful and clean and lets me rest assure that my child is in the best care and hands and able to learn more than say a zoom class and be in a social environment. There was even a time when they called us with concern that he was having running stools, can never be too careful during these times!, I'm so amazed at the level of attention and detail this school has. I highly recommend their program to any family as they will definitely be in good hands with AIP. Thank you AIP for everything!

My son went to AIP when he's 2 years and 4 months old during pandemic. AIP is super clean. The teachers showed their love and patience to him. He's a... Read more crying baby and it took him a while to adjust. Also the food at school is amazing. He really enjoys the food even he's a picky eater. Ever since he went to AIP, his vocabulary has been improved little by little with encouragement from the teachers. We really appreciate what AIP is doing to him. It is a recommendation to other parents if they are looking for preschool for their kids.

12/11/2021One of the best preschools in Arcadia. Â The school has a very strict Covid-19 protocol, all the kids are required to wear masks, and the curriculum is fantastic. Our daughter... Read more enjoys school so much that she complains if we pick her up too early. The progress in her learning (writing, math, etc.) is definitely noticeable. We highly recommend this school.

My 4year old has been attending Aip for 2months and his improvement in writing and spelling is impressive. Ms. Mil let me know that he may need some time to... Read more adjust because they are academic and discipline based school and his previous school which he enjoyed was a play to learn based school. He did need about 3weeks to adjust because he was not used to the structure but once adjusted he now loves the school. What I love the most is that he himself is proud of his achievements and loves showing off everything he has learned. He actually says he likes to study and enjoys doing his homework. As a parent am so happy with the school since my child is happy with the school and what he's learned to do in such a short period is mind blowing.
Would definitely recommend Aip to any parent!Allison L.
11/04/2021My daughter has been attending Academicise for over 4 months now and loves attending school. Academicise is one of the best preschool in the area! The teachers and staff  are... Read more warm, caring and hard working. They keep the campus very clean and safe. They strictly follow the COVID protocols and CDC recommendations and go above and beyond keeping the facility clean.
Special shout out to Ms. Vivian, Miss Nhi, Ms. Karina and Mrs. Mil for making preschool such a positive experience for my daughter.Lily W.

Best school in the area!
We're so happy and glad that we decided to switch our son to AIP. He used to cry every single day for 4 consecutive months... Read more at the previous pre-school before AIP. He stopped crying after the first 2 weeks here and now he's happy to go to school every day. Mrs Brenda and Mrs Theresa are great teachers. My son learns new stuff every day, more than he ever did at any previous schools. He can feed himself now, becomes more socialized, happy coming home every day, singing and telling me all of these fun stories and activities he did at school. My advice for other parents is starting to put your child's name on the school waitlist as soon as possible. The wait can be a little long, as the school only takes certain number of students due to pandemic, but it's totally WORTH IT!
As a mom working in healthcare, I honestly feel intimidated sending my son to any school knowing that Covid is still lingering around and the kids are not vaccinated yet. With AIP strict safety protocols, I can totally have a peace of mind. Masks, hand washing, proper hygiene, social distancing, all of these implements significantly helps lower the risk of not only Covid but also other viral diseases when we look at the scientific data. Anyway, one day when this pandemic is completely over I'd love to see all the kids play together hug each other with no social distancing at all, but for now I think it is important to follow all of these protocols for the safety of our kids. I would love to thank AIP school, all of the teachers and staff for working hard to keep our children safe! You are the BEST!JJ N.
10/22/2021My daughter started attending AIP when she was 2 year and 2 months old. Everyday she gets home, she is so happy. I could tell that she really had a... Read more great time and enjoyed staying at school. The school has a very strict Covid-19 protocol, all kids are required to wear mask, and get sanitized before entering school. All the teachers and staffs are friendly and professional, they truly cares about kids. The curriculum is fun and challenging. My daughter takes several art crafts and worksheets to home everyday. When she gets home, her face, body and clothes are all clean. Teachers change her clothes immediately when it gets dirty, and they change the diapers frequently. I am at ease when my daughter is at school because I know she will be taken good care of by the great staffs. I highly recommend AIP to every family.
