We couldn't be happier with our son's daycare experience! Our son has grown so much since starting here. The daily activities are thoughtfully planned. The facility is clean, safe. Communication with the staff is excellent. We receive regular updates, photos, and notes about his progress, which helps us feel well connected.

Rising Star Academy is the best place I could have took my child! The teachers and staff are so warming and nurturing, my baby is always fulfilled when he is at school. My son is more expressive, communicating better, and thriving and excelling academically! Thank you Rising Stars for all that you do. My son will be staying here till he graduates!

If you're looking for a place that runs a tight ship—with clear rules, firm structure, and a staff that genuinely cares—Rising Stars in Hawthorne is the place for you. My son has been attending for over two years now, and we truly appreciate the consistency and discipline the school upholds. The teachers and staff (our personal experience with Ms. Glenisha, Ms. Shanti & Ms., Ana) are warm, attentive, and deeply committed to the kids' well-being. If you value structure and can respect the rules, you'll love it here. But if you're not one to follow guidelines, this might not be the right fit for you.

Rising Stars, Hawthorne location, has an amazing staff. My child has been exclusively breastfed for 1 whole year and they’ve been handling him with so much love and care to make sure he’s comfortable and happy, while at the same time making sure he’s meeting all of his mile stones. I would highly recommend this location.
