Parvin's Hopeland Preschool

Our first daughter transitioned to Parvin's just before 3 years old and attended from preschool through kindergarten ... When we had our second we anxiously awaited her second birthday so she would be able to attend as well... she has now turned four and both my girls most days would rather be hanging out at school with their friends and their teachers then at home with boring mom LOL... Parvin, Fatima and every other teacher/team member at this school has become true family more than anything else. They have seen us through transitions, the special days, the hard days, and the amazing ones. We have gotten to share every birthday and even my second daughter's adoption. You will not find a more special or dedicated group of people... They give everything that they have to making sure that the children have what they need and are happy, healthy, and are given every opportunity to grow and learn. They have taken every necessitated change during the current pandemic and implemented it in a way that not only are the adaptations satisfied but the children don't feel so scared or overwhelmed by all that is going on. Our youngest even missed the first day of preschool because she wasn't feeling well and the teachers went back just to do the first day project with her just so she would be able to bring it home and have it like everyone else. We love you all... You are the real depiction of what true heart and dedication look like

I had to immediately pull my son out of Parvin's Hopeland Preschool because Mrs. Parvin yelled at me and cussed in front of my son and all the other students in the school who were gathered for lunch. Her excuse for shouting "You piece of shit." in front of twenty or more children was that she was repeating what my three year old son had said. She was completely unprofessional, irrational, and disrespectful. The reason she'd confronted me was that I had given notice to one of her staff that I was going to be removing my son from her school at the end of the month. I wasn't happy with the way his behavior wasn't being reported to me as it occurred. Instead, I was being told he was doing well every day (which caused me to reward him for being good in school), only to find out three days later there was a whole list of negitive behaviors that had occured over the span of a week. This poor communication had led me to give my son positive reinforcement for bad behavior. It's no wonder his actions continued. Mrs. Parvin took no responsibility for this mishap. She attacked me as a mother, attacked his father, and our extended family. She refused to give me a prorated return for the money I spent on the rest of the month even though she clearly is no longer providing the safe and healthy learning environment for which I was paying for him to attend. This woman continued to bully and provoke me all the way out the door until even I lost my temper and dumped a plate of food on the floor in her office, like a child. I'm embarrassed by my part in this. Thankfully, that wasn't in front of all the kids. But either way I let her bring the worst out in me. And the big difference is that I'm not the director of a preschool. She is. She has preconceived notions about certain "kinds of parents" (her words, not mine) and she takes those prejudiced opinions out on the children.In my case, I suspect she had a problem with my being a stand-up comedian. Her demeanor toward me and my son had changed directly after she'd viewed my performance online. I believe she had trouble separating my stage persona from my actual personality, and even more trouble separating her emotions from her professional duties as an educator. I do not recommend this school to anyone because Mrs. Parvin has lost her way and possibly her mind.

Dr. Soleimani runs and excellent preschool with a tremendous plan for the development of all students who go there. Each student is given and individualized program for there development. All of the teachers have been there for a long time and are carrying and extremely well trained by Dr Soleimani who is a trained therapist.

I see Mrs. Parvin almost daily at the school I pick my niece up from, she's always very rude and in a hurry. I only know of her because she speaks (sometimes) to other parents around and practically begs for business. She's very bossy and rude to the kids. "Hurry up" "we need to go Come on now" and she never asks how their day has been. She parks in the crosswalk where we can't get by without dodging cars and is always snotty when someone gets a closer spot than her. Based on this alone I wouldn't even consider her school.

First of all I do not have any problem with the teachers at Hopeland. My grandson loved all of his teachers. Especially Ms. Fatima.As a grandmother I have lived long enough to witness things that are just not right. Unfortunately as one of the other commenters we have experienced the same issues. Ms. Parvin cared more about showing her accomplishments and telling us how much the children loved her than addressing our questions. We really liked the teachers and so did my grandson.Ms. Parvin however, became very unstable and had caused irrefutable damage to my grandson when she decided to berate his mother and himself in front of the children and staff at his school.She supposedly has a doctorate in this field. If she truly cared about the children this would never have happened. Also, like another review. She searched out online only to discover that my daughter is a professional comedian, this is her job. This displeased Ms. Parvin and she felt the need to judge my daughter. Soon after letters were sent to her regarding her as a parent and how her son was out of control.I find this interesting because when her or her fiancé came to pick up my grandson they were told by the teachers that he was no problem (daily). She never hesitated to show her disappointment to my grandson or any other child she was displeased with. I am not quite sure if she has developed mental instability or she duped us from the beginning and truly believes she has the right to treat her staff or students in such an uncontrollable sense of boundaries.After such an outburst my daughter immediately removed my grandson from the school. Ms. Parvin continued to be out of control. One of the teachers brought out my grandson's things, as my daughter was telling the teacher that it is not her fault and that her son truly liked her. Ms. Parvin yelled out the door "Don't talk to my staff just leave" again this is in front of my grandson.He is enrolled in another school and has had no signs of what Ms. Parvin had stated. How do you think this will affect him concerning his attitude toward school. How could he not think he did something terrible that he had to leave school. This preschool is supposed to prepare him for school. Ms. Parvin failed.

I would give less stars if I could. I will never forget my experience with Parvin's. Several years ago, I was looking for a daycare for my five year old son. Being a single working mother, I was worried about placing my son somewhere he could learn and grow and he would be safe. He was tiny for his age but he had energy to spare! I really liked the idea of the kindergarten and daycare being in the same location at Parvin's. Before enrolling him, I met with Parvin myself to tell her about my ADHD son and to explain that he could be very challenging and to see if he would be ok at her school. She assured me that my son would be fine and she totally understood because her own daughter was diagnosed with ADHD years ago and she knew exactly what it is like. So I paid the tuition and the weekly fee and my son began going to Hopeland Preschool. Within days there were problems. The teacher could not handle my son. He came home one day and said his teacher made him mad. I asked him why. He said Teacher Vina had told him that she wished she had a magic wand and could make him disappear. I was shocked! And hurt! And bewildered how an adult could say such a thing to a child???!!! I called Parvin and told her what happened. Parvin told me after one week that I would have to find somewhere else for my son to go. Do you think she refunded any of the tuition or the enrollment fees??? No! I learned after the fact that the way she dealt with her ADHD daughter was by sending her to boarding school far away from home. Additionally, the teachers at private schools do not require any education or training. Never again. We are so fortunate that after this experience, we found my son's forever day care provider when he went to Miss Cindy's daycare. He was with her for the next 9 years until he was in 8th grade. She was wonderful and loved/loves my son like family.

Ms. Parvin has set the bar for the best provision for child care and educators! She has the best staff ever! I miss working with them! They have much more going on than any typical school as far as being a lasting impact on the upbringing of children and their families! The absolute best! The excellence brought forth at Parvins is a reflection of her as a person, leader and friend!

I have to say, the school seemed like a complete God-send at first when my son's father and I toured. The children were ridiculously well-behaved to the point where we joked to each other afterward that the kids must have been on something, or we referred to them as the "Stepford Children". The only thing I found sort of "off" was the fact that Ms. Parvin brought us into her office and very happily pointed out her massive amounts of awards and certificates saying, "I do not hang these to brag. I love children." OK - then why are you pointing them out to us? I also overheard her saying this same thing to another couple touring the daycare a couple weeks after this. The other thing that was odd during the tour was that a 4 or 5 year old came up and hugged her, and she turned to us and said, "You see? They love me, and I could not fake this or make them come to me and hug me." OK...why mention it at all?At the time my son started going to this school, I had just split from his father, so we were going through a transition, and my son's behavior was suffering a bit. However, I was so disappointed and shocked when Ms. Parvin told me my son was having fits and not behaving at school in the manner she described, and I quickly tried to fix the issue at home. The problem was that my son seemed to have the issue only at school - he was just fine at both of our houses, so it was hard for us to "catch him in the act" and address it.Ms. Parvin started calling me each time he threw any fits, and then she started calling to say I needed to come pick him up after he threw a fit - usually an hour after I got to work. I'm lucky I have such an understanding boss because this occurred about twice a week - and the explanation was only "big fits." I began getting frustrated and thinking, "How is it that your staff cannot properly handle a kid throwing a fit. This is not a new phenomenon." I talked about his behavior with Ms. Parvin, and I explained the family situation happening and that he wasn't doing these extreme things at home, so it was difficult for us to address, but that we were trying. She then started talking about "parents that are in denial" and said that I choose to "turn my head" at my son's behavior. I was so stunned that she basically called me a liar that I just sat there and did the "uh-huhs" like an idiot instead of confronting her. I had always been cooperative with her rules, and I had been trying my best to rectify the situation.After that, I felt like I started getting nit-picked. The staff said Ms. Parvin told them, "She can't leave without filling this paperwork out today." This paperwork took me 20 minutes to fill out and I was late for work. I found out that paperwork was available for the previous week for me to fill out - the staff just forgot to give it to me until the last minute. Then my son started telling his dad and I about how other kids were picking on him at school. One of his teachers went to college with me at night, so I asked her about my son's behavior, and she told me she didn't know what I was talking about and that my son was fine when he was with her. Another time, I pulled up in the parking lot to pick my son up an hour before they closed, but I stayed in my car for about 15 minutes to finish a phone conversation I was having before coming in to sign him out. The next day, I had a voicemail from Ms. Parvin saying that was not allowed and I was to come in and get him immediately. All this time, they continued to call us almost twice a week to come pick him up for any little fit they said he was having, even though he seemed completely fine when we picked him up. I don't think they were completely lying about his behavior, and he did have a transitional issue at that time, but I feel they immediately decided he wasn't a part of their Stepford Children, and the teachers began treating him like he was the inherent trouble maker - and then, of course, the kids do the same.I started coming in and sort of hiding so I could try to see my son's behavior, but what I saw was that the teachers and kids had pretty much "labeled" him as the bad kid, and he was being pushed out as such. The last time I was there and did this, he was sitting at a table doing a puzzle, behaving, and this little girl across from him started teasing him, repeating, "You're going to get in trouble. You're going to get in trouble," while kicking his feet underneath the table. Finally, my son slapped the table top and yelled, "No I'm not!" Then one of the teachers came over and scolded my son for yelling at the little girl and put him in time out. I grabbed my son, paid my final check, and was done with it.

My son started preschool at around 2.5yrs, hardly speaking. A year later he was speaking in complete sentences, new all his colors, numbers 1-10, the alphabet song, and many other academic and social skills. Parvin's Hopeland Preschool has been a blessing in my child's early development. Ms. Anita and all the staff have been so caring, loving, and supportive with my son - he talks wonders about all his experiences at school when I pick him up and ask about his day.
