The staff is so good at also teaching my son words, crawling, they make sure he reaches his milestones since I'm a full time employee and miss big portions of his day. They respect the schedule I have for him and they are extremely on top of his feedings. Something that eases me is their cleanliness, wow these women scrub clean every toy at the end of the day and my son started coming here mid Covid outbreak and they have never had to shut down because of cases, no HFM cases, or anything else. I have friends who's kids are constantly getting sick at their daycares and I can't say the same about mine. Best second home for my baby.

I don't often write Yelp reviews, but I have been so happy with Tujunga Family Daycare (TFD),…read morefollowing a great deal of anxiety with finding care providers, I hope this helps other parents in a similar situation. My 2 year old son has been going to TFD since the beginning of 2025 and I have been overjoyed by his progress with developmental milestones, his excitement towards Katrina, and her general professionalism and support. Developmental milestones & learning: My son comes home every day with new phrases, songs and skills that he has learned. Katrina offers fun, stimulating activities that are practical for my son's social and cognitive development; such as "cleaning", "cooking", "sharing", gardening, boundaries with other children, improvements with separation anxiety, and nap/ quiet time, just to name a few. As a psychologist, I'm very impressed with her skill set and the progress I have seen with my son. Additionally, due to mine & my husband's work demands, we have struggled with incorporating potty training into our schedule and Katrina took lead on teaching our son potty training. He, after just a month, will use the potty (at home and in public) on a regular basis and, more recently, had BMs in the potty as well. This was a very intimidating process for us, I really don't know how we would have achieved his level of success without her help. Cleanliness & quality of equipment: Another quality that attracted our family to TFD is the cleanliness, brightness and colorfulness of the facility. The interior, exterior play area, and garden were all well maintained for easy, safe access for my son. The equipment had no damage and there appeared to be a lot of thought in the quality of toys in the facility. I especially enjoy the garden where my son can eat food straight off the tree, like tomatoes & grapes. It also exposes my son to other natural life, such as caterpillars that he saw turn into butterflies. This is particularly true when compared to the other Daycare facilities we had toured that had toys that were old or damaged, environments that did not offer as much unique stimulation, and visible dirt on the interior floors. Shockingly, some of these locations had higher tuition rates. High needs child: My son has a rare eye condition that requires he wear a glass contact lens, an eye patch and special glasses. This was all a new experience for Katrina and she was quickly on board with learning about his needs and offering monitoring when he is in her care. He likes to pull off and throw his glasses and eye patch. She has quickly reapplied a new eye patch and prevented his glasses from getting misplaced or damaged. He has also managed to pop out his glass contact lens and she worked with us on learning how to reinsert the lens and has immediately notified us when it has broken (not from a lack of her oversight, it breaks under our care as well). All of this has assisted in his consistent treatment to prevent him from losing sight in his affected eye, which I am beyond grateful for and I know he will appreciate as he gets older. I have also had the pleasure of meeting Katrina's husband, who is a pharmacist, which offers a unique reassurance due to his awareness of other harm that my son can be exposed to that my husband and I had not considered. Availability & cost: With the potential of spontaneous crises as a mental health provider and my husband's inconsistent schedule working in TV, we have had to make last minute requests of extended hours. Katrina was graceful and reliable in providing care beyond her regular hours. The added cost was very minimal, and well worth the stress management it offered. Particularly when compared to finding a last-minute sitter. Beyond the price of extended hours, the tuition fees are well worth the benefits my son has gained since attending TFD. We chose to have our son with a nanny for the first 2 years and had I known the level of cost savings, developmental success, and general joy my son would have had with going to TFD, I would have taken him sooner. I plan to bring our next child (I'm currently pregnant) as early as 6-months old, and I'll be excited and confident with the growth my 2nd child would have under Katrina's care.

In the short time that our daughter attended Sylmar Cubs Family Daycare, we have witnessed a truly…read moreheartwarming transformation in her life. Back in March, my husband and I found ourselves overwhelmed, juggling full-time jobs with little to no support. We desperately needed help with our kids, and after searching high and low--more than a dozen daycare options--I was starting to lose hope. The thought of leaving my timid 2-year-old, who was still finding her words, in an unfamiliar place filled me with anxiety. Then came the day I discovered Sylmar Cubs Family Daycare. From the moment I reached out to Mrs. Para, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. She was prompt in her responses, patiently answering all my questions and easing my concerns. When we visited the daycare for a tour, I was truly blown away by the professionalism and warmth radiating from the facility. Every discussion centered around the safety, cleanliness, and happiness of the children, which made it so much easier for me to trust them with my daughter. Choosing to enroll her was a significant step, and like any parent, I experienced a mix of stress and guilt leaving my little one there. However, Mrs. Para and Ms. Mikki went above and beyond to create a nurturing environment. Their gentle reassurances helped our daughter transition, easing her fears while constantly checking in with us to share updates on her progress. One of my favorite moments was when our daughter, brimming with excitement, would eagerly rush into the daycare without even looking back--proof of her comfort and joy. She even insisted, "Mom, Ms. Mikki and Mrs. Para have to come with us on our family weekend trips!" My heart melted every time I heard that. I can't express enough how grateful I am for the growth we've seen in her vocabulary in just four months! She's recognizing almost all her letters, counting with enthusiasm, and forming friendships--all thanks to the dedication of Mrs. Para and Ms. Mikki. They truly care and put in their best effort for each child. If you are a parent seeking a caring and nurturing environment for your little ones, I wholeheartedly recommend Sylmar Cubs Family Daycare. You will be amazed at how much joy and love your child will experience there. From exciting activities to delicious meals and the wonderful friendships they'll forge, it's a special place that we cherish deeply. We look forward to staying connected and plan to bring our kids for special events. Thank you, Sylmar Cubs Family Daycare! You have made such a positive impact in our lives, and we are eternally grateful. Our baby girl misses you dearly and can't wait to visit again soon!

His sister is now at this same center since she was 6 months old. I'm truly so thankful to have found this center after having moved to the SFV without having known anyone or any centers in the area. Since the very beginning, all the teachers & staff have always been incredibly kind and supportive. I've never had a negative experience in the last 5.5 years my children have been here. Speaking from my own kids' experiences, they have always been well cared for and looked after. My son still asks to go visit his last teacher (Ms. Lupe - he loved her so much!) The teachers and staff have always communicated well with me, and have been honest and transparent in our conversations. The implementation of Class Dojo last year has been amazing with having all events & communications in one place. I absolutely loved the curriculum when my son was here - he learned SO much. It's truly impressive how much he already knew going into Kindergarten. He tested at or above grade level at the start of his Kindergarten year. All the classes are well structured with their outdoor play time and indoor learning schedules. It's truly a great place that nurtures a love for learning, creativity, and playing with friends.

I removed my previous review because, after reflecting on our family's experience, I no longer felt…read moreit accurately represented how I feel today. My daughter attended Tiny Thinkers beginning in December 2020 and remained there through age four, so this review reflects several years of experience rather than a brief enrollment. There were many things I genuinely appreciated about Tiny Thinkers. Ms. Jana, Ms. Delilah, Ms. Alejandra, and many of the teachers in the younger classrooms were incredibly kind, patient, and caring. Ms. Alejandra even helped potty train my daughter, and I will always be grateful for the love and support she showed our family. Those positive experiences are the reason this review is difficult to write. Unfortunately, our experience changed as my daughter got older. Around age four, she cried every day at drop-off. At the time, I assumed it was simply separation anxiety. Even now, over a year later, she still tells me she doesn't want to go back because "Ms. Lupe was mean to me." She brought it up again just yesterday, completely on her own. For context, my daughter is autistic and high-functioning. She is verbal, was successfully potty trained while attending Tiny Thinkers, and did not have significant behavioral issues such as aggression toward staff or other children. Like many young children, she sometimes struggled with transitions and occasionally needed extra patience and emotional support. What concerned me most was how those moments seemed to be handled. I often felt that when she struggled, the response was to remove her from an activity rather than help teach her through it. One example that has stayed with me was when she had difficulty sharing the soccer ball. Instead of being coached through taking turns and learning the expectations of the game, she was simply no longer allowed to participate. I understand preschool teachers manage busy classrooms and difficult situations every day, but I had hoped for a more nurturing, teaching-focused approach. Initially, my daughter attended Tiny Thinkers for part of the day while also attending a public school special day class. When that program changed, we had to find another full-time placement. At the time, it felt incredibly stressful, but looking back it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. She flourished almost immediately after transitioning. She now loves going to school and summer camp, participates happily, has grown tremendously socially and emotionally, and no longer cries at drop-off. Watching that transformation made me reflect differently on our experience and realize she simply needed an environment that was a better fit for how she learns and develops. I know every child is different, and many families may have a wonderful experience here, especially in the younger classrooms. However, if your child is neurodivergent or benefits from additional patience, flexibility, and emotional support, I would encourage you to ask detailed questions about how those needs are handled. I truly wanted to leave another glowing review because there are wonderful teachers at Tiny Thinkers who made a positive impact on our family. But knowing what I know now, I would make a different choice for my daughter, and I hope sharing our experience helps other parents find the environment that's the best fit for their child.

Being new to L.A. it was extremely difficult finding a good daycare for my son. I searched for weeks and even tried another provider before finding Renya.

My wife and I searched for and toured many daycares. We were looking for one that we could trust…read morewith a safe and clean environment. We both work full time jobs and were in need of finding a daycare that we could rely on. Since almost all daycares have a waiting list we were particular about which one to decide on. We chose "Shahbazian Family Child Care" because Renya and her mother seemed like nice people. Our son was 18 months old at the time and it was his first time away from home. We were told by Renya that he was a bit fussy and would not nap with the other children. Renya advised us that it was normal and he would get used to it and adjust over time. A few weeks go by and we were told that some days he was good, and some days he was fussy. Again, she told us he just needs time to adjust. After two months, Renya told my wife that our son required too much attention and he would cry hysterically whenever she would leave the room. She also said that he was not napping long enough, and it was causing an issue with the other children. Renya told my wife that she would no longer be able to care for our son at her daycare because she could not handle him. My wife and I were both in shock because we put a lot of time and effort into searching for a reliable daycare for our child, and now we were being told that he can no longer stay at the daycare because he requires too much attention. I was perplexed by this because don't all children require attention? Especially an 18 month old? We told Renya that we needed some time to find another form of childcare, and she gave us two weeks. That didn't leave us with much time to find someone, but we had no other choice. In the meantime we had to continue taking our child to the Shahbazian Daycare until we were able to find someone else. It was a very uncomfortable feeling knowing that you have to drop your son off with someone who isn't capable of taking care of him. We were both extremely concerned. With a lot of hard work, we managed to find a decent person who could actually be attentive and care for our son. Someone who was able to give an 18 month old the love and attention ALL children require. We were able to find this person in 10 days, and on my sons last day at the Shahbazian Family Child Care, if you want to call it that, we were told that we would not be getting our $500 deposit back! This completely contradicted what is written in the contract. However, Renya told us that we will not be getting our deposit refunded to us. She told us that it was to cover our childs last two weeks in her care. Yet, thats not what is written in the contract. At this point both my wife and I felt extremely disrespected and were fed up with the whole daycare situation. We were just happy that our child was not going to be left in a place that was not able to handle a crying baby. My son would come home in famine every day. Was feeding a child too much to handle also? Overall, if you are considering placing your child at the Shahbazian Family Child Care, I highly advise you NOT to. Not only may your child not get the attention they need and kicked out of the daycare, but you will be conned out of your money. For the sake of your child, please look elsewhere.
