I don't have any children that go to this ABC Little School, but have 2 friends that do. In the past.. like few years back I have done a month of volunteer work and was very satisfied with the teachers, their curriculum, and the director of the school! They know how to treat each child with love, care and support. They have many different activities that goes on in this cute, yet full of knowledge by the staff. They work very carefully, hard and meticulously with your child. They don't discriminate against any child of their national/ethenic origin, race/color. It is a very SAFE environment for the child and their parents/guardians. Recently, I attended to one of my friend's child's Christmas party and was blown away by how well the party was organized/orchestrated by their staff members. Kids love their teachers and don't want to go home:-) By seeing, volunteering, observing everything and hearing word of mouth, don't hesitate to sign your child up at this cute, colorful, pretty ABC School. I don't know the parking situation, but they do have clean bathrooms for boys and girls!:-) read more

ABC has been our second home for the last 4 years. I've had two children who have gone through their program and am heartbroken to leave as my youngest starts TK. The director, Miss Jackie, is so supportive, understanding, etc. My second son has some behavioral issues and the school worked hand in hand with us to help him. He wasn't always easy and he required a lot of extra attention and patience and he always received that at ABC. The teachers and staff are phenomenal. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is curious about pre-school. ABC was more than a pre-school, it was a home and will always be a place that our family will miss and visit often. read more

This place needs more recent reviews! We've been here almost a year and have nothing but good things to say. My daughter has loved it. Not many programs are open from 7am-6pm M-F, and also do not take long summer or winter breaks. They're very communicative and send photos throughout the day. There's a decent teacher-student ratio, and plenty of additional programs offered through outside orgs for dance, cooking, martial arts, etc. read more

My daughters attended ABC Little School, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! Both of them absolutely loved it there. The staff is truly amazing--caring, attentive, and dedicated to each child's growth and happiness. The school provides a nurturing and stimulating environment that helped my kids feel safe, engaged, and excited to learn each day. I highly recommend ABC Little School to any parent looking for a wonderful place for their children to learn and grow. It's a fantastic school with an exceptional team! Thanks from Mikaela and Melita read more

ABC Little School - Abc little school - Preschools Near Me - Studio City, California

We are having the most wonderful experience with our son at ABC Little School in Studio City. He has been there for over a year and we continue to be amazed and impressed with all the things we see. At first, we saw how the school's structure and meticulous attention to detail was helping him with his behavior, as he learned to focus better and balance learning with play. Then we quickly saw how each individual staff member truly cared and was interested helping. From our teachers, Miss Lisette, Miss Cindy and Miss Anu, to administrators like Miss Melanie, Miss Marina and Director Miss Jackie. When people genuinely care about your child's development and needs over their own, it shows. That cannot be faked. There is something about the culture of this school. It makes me think of how some professional sports teams always seem to be winners. I believe that is because an organization creates a culture of winning. Here at ABC Little School, they have created a culture of putting the student first and caring about the needs of the child/child's family first. Our appreciation continues to expand as there are always new activities and learning tools they use to enhance the child's experience. Science and sports classes, current event/holiday lessons, home projects... there is always something new that encourages new phases and levels of development. This is not simply a day care; this is much more. We are so grateful for the gifts we receive by having our child at ABC Little School. Thank you!!! read more

It really saddens me to leave a negative review for ABC Little School but they left me with no choice. The Director Jennifer shouldn't be in early childhood development, as she has no empathy for children and doesn't know how to communicate with parents. My daughter was at ABC from 19 months old until 4 years old and had a history of excellent behavior. She originally started at the Van Nuys school and switched to Studio City in summer of 2020. She thrived in the school environment, was an excellent student, loved learning, was a leader with her friends at play time, and never had any issues.  After she turned 4, she started struggling with their stringent nap time rules, forcing the children to lay still on their cots for 2 hours with no options for quiet activities. She had long stopped napping and was getting frustrated with no other options but being forced to sleep. The school refused to give the children anything else to do, and instead opted to remove children from the classroom who weren't staying quiet at nap.  In a recent incident where my daughter didn't want to stay on her cot, they brought her to the Kindergarten room, left her there for 20 minutes, then proceeded to leave her in the office for another hour, refusing to bring her back to her classroom until she apologized. Which in itself is disgraceful. Not only was this absurd, it broke all Covid rules. She was exposed to other children, they didn't put her mask on, and the Director admitted to taking her mask off to enjoy her coffee. It was an outright violation of my child's health and safety, and an absurd solution for a child who wasn't staying quiet at nap.  After this incident I offered other ideas for naptime, such as giving her a book, coloring, markers or quiet activity. And they refused. I even talked to a child therapist who said the school's behavior was cruel and uncooperative, as she also suggested quiet activities to avoid a child being frustrated at nap time.  In the next few weeks, my daughter had only 2 or 3 more incidents where she wasn't being quiet at nap. Instead of continuing to work with me, the school started giving me written behavioral warning letters, threatening action against her if I didn't solve the problem myself. But never clarified what that action was. I was completely helpless as this was happening at school, they refused show me any video footage of the supposed incidents, and they weren't taking my suggestions.  And because I never saw this type of behavior at home, it was difficult for me to help resolve. And I couldn't believe the school was putting it all on me.   Finally, things seemed to settle, and my daughter had a few good weeks of staying quiet at nap, even though she wasn't sleeping. Then suddenly I got a call in the middle of my work day on a Wednesday from Jennifer yelling at me to come get my child immediately because there was an "incident" at nap. I got so scared thinking something was wrong or she was hurt, and Jennifer refused to tell me what happened. This is an awful feeling for a parent, not even knowing what is going on. And Jennifer could care less. I finally got her to tell me my daughter was ok, but we had to be at the school in 10 minutes to get her. I tried explaining it was the middle of my work day, but she didn't care.  When we got to school, Jennifer cold heartedly and cruelly handed me a letter of disenrollment for my child. And her teacher escorted her up to the front, in the middle of the day, with all of her stuff, and shoved her into the office without even saying a word. It was the most devastating thing I have ever experienced as a Mother. Not only for myself, but for my child. She is only 4 years old and she was just ripped away from her classroom and friends she had just spent the last 8 months with every day. And as parents, we were left without child care in the middle of the week, in the middle of the pandemic. Jennifer is so cold and cruel and unsympathetic that she didn't care at all. Her behavior was disgraceful and we were left devastated.  As a parent, you trust your childcare provider to work with you on challenges, offer support for your child, and be sympathetic to your needs. Jennifer did none of this. She runs ABC Little School like a military base, and if one child doesn't act perfect or follow the rules, she kicks them out of school.  I have also since confirmed with the California Licensing Board that ABC Little School had been breaking Covid rules from the start. Children did not have to wear masks, teachers were helping in each other's classrooms and children were being put in other rooms. All direct violations of Covid safety.  I would not trust this school with your child as the Director has no understanding of children's needs, doesn't know how to communicate with parents, and clearly doesn't care about the emotional or physical well being of children. read more

My daughter attended ABC School for two months before we decided to pull her out to attend another school. ABC is a solid daycare/school with many positives. There were a few times however when I didn't agree with their decisions though. First of all, Pros: - The school opens at 7:00 am and closes at 6:00. This is very convenient for parents who need to be at work early or have long work days. - The school also offers decent portions of hot lunch made on premises as well as a snack in the mornings and afternoons. - They use an app called Daily Connect where a parent can communicate with the teacher via texts. The teacher sends pictures of the child to parents and updates. By the way, I only met one of my child's teachers in person only one time. After my child switched teachers, I never met the second teacher. Both teachers were wonderful connecting with me on the app though. - The school offers science, sports and cooking for additional cost. Overall, it cost us at least extra 200 dollars to enroll my child in the extra activities. Not so much of a pro for additional cost, but at least children may have the opportunity to attend those classes on premises. - My child was not potty trained when she came to school. When picking her up, she always had a fresh diaper on. Her clothes and hair were always very neat and clean. The teachers do take care of the kids' basic needs. Cons: - Obviously, if you would like to enroll your child in all the extra activities, you will need to pay at least $200 extra on top of your tuition. - Children do spend at least 2 1/2 to 3 hours outside, which, in my opinion, is excessive. If you bring your child to school at exactly 7 o'clock in the morning, your child will be outside, hot or cold, until 9 o'clock in the morning. The teachers take the students out at around 3:30. Not sure for how long, because I would pick my kid up at around this time. - Even though they provided me with the schedule of my child's classes, I've frequently noticed my child playing outside during the time she was supposed to engage in centers or science. Same in the morning. The schedule said that in the morning the students are supposed to engage in the center activities. My child was outside playing on the apparatus all this time. - In regards to academics, my child very,very rarely came home with a craft of any sort. I think making crafts is extremely important to ensure dexterity, hand - eye coordination and connecting the child's knowledge to the world. My child did work on letter and number worksheets as well as was given homework, so that's a plus. - The reason why I took my child from the school and I am giving them three stars instead of four or five is safety. I have seen students being outside having playground time in over 96° weather. Unfortunately, students are not given any option as to staying inside when the teacher decides to takes them out. I have seen students on numerous occasions just sitting on the bench in the shade and not moving or playing because of the heat. I honestly wasn't sure why it was so important for the school staff to ensure that the children are outside in this heat. I remember calling the administrator and asking her to have my child stay with another class inside during the day when a heat advisory was in place. The administrator said it was not possible because there would be no one in the room to monitor my child. Also, she did not sound worried at all about children being in such heat for long periods of time. Overall, this is a solid school with Covid safety procedures in place. It really depends on the parent and what they want from a school to see if this is a good fit for them. read more

Great school choice for my toddler! 1. Separate rooms by the age. Im not a big fan of daycares with kids of all ages being in one room. At ABC little school kids are divided in rooms by their age and receive their daily tasks according to their age. Every week they have a different topic to learn about (our earth, ocean, flowers, etc.) and different projects related to a weekly theme. They also have a weekly homework. My little one is 2yo. In a matter of 3 months she learned a lot (numbers, half of alphabet, animal names, colors, etc.) She also started using full sentences to communicate. 2. Organic fresh healthy food!!!!!! I was amazed by the lunch menu this school provides to kids. All organic and healthy with a daily variety! The school will provide you with a monthly morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack menu in advance, so you'd know what your kid is going to eat every day. You can also discuss your kid's food preferences, and they will try to work on substitutions. 3. Safety. I was concerned about safety while looking for a daycare for my kid a lot. This school is gated. Nobody can entry without a key fob. Nobody but "approved" family members can pick up a kid. And yes, they follow COVID safety rules as well. No parent is allowed behind a drop off area. They check kid's temperature and sanitize their hands prior check in daily. 4. School App. Parents use an application to see personal daily updates on a kid (including pictures, information on what food he/she ate, when the diaper was changed, how long he/she slept for). This school is great! Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Marina, Ms. Andrea are VERY professional, friendly and caring! My kids loves it! read more

What an amazing preschool ! Everyone is so caring and kind ! My son is so happy here ! We have older children and have tried many different preschools with them , some with high ticket tuition and waitlists! ABC little school is by far the best, affordable and developmentally appropriate. My son comes home tired from playing but also filled with skills knowledge at the young age of 2 . The director Jennifer and Melanie take safety at the forefront of the community. The school went through CoVID year of 2020 with exactly O cases !!! This includes having essential workers as parents . They clean, sanitize , temperature check and distance as well as keep children happy . I feel very safe having my son here. Can't recommend the school enough! Thank you! read more

We have had a really wonderful pre-school experience at ABC Little School. My husband and I toured about 5 local pre-schools before choosing to send our son here. Ms. Jennifer is great. She is on it and very responsive whenever you have a question. Being that this was our first pre-school experience (during COVID) we weren't really sure what to expect but the school and the entire staff has made us feel so comfortable dropping our 3 year old off every day. The teachers use an app to share photos and updates of the children throughout the day which I LOVE. Being that parents aren't allowed beyond the drop off zone due to COVID it really makes you feel involved with your child while they're at school. You can communicate with your child's teacher throughout the day, if needed. Since starting here my son has learned so much and I am so grateful for all of the skills he comes home with; writing his name, phonics, etc. Ms. Denise has taught him so much and is wonderful!! :) read more

Ms Monica did an amazing job prepping my son to school. She made my son fell in love with reading as much he reads bedtime stories for me almost every evening. Practicing math for fun in the car... Ms Monica thought him to enjoy learning and not do it because it's a must. This is the best way to start school! read more

Wonderful place. My son has been going here since he was 3yr old. Now he is 4 1/2 yr old. They have four play area for each age groups. One of the great reason I made decision to send my son here is the hot kitchen. They serve breakfast, lunch, and snack. All included in the admission fee. My son had one same teacher for the whole year when he was in 3 yr old class. When he moved up to 4 yr old class, his teacher changed three times. One teacher is maternity leave. This bothered me, but I think my son is adjusting ok. There's also wonderful new director, Ms. Jennifer. Ever since she came to school, I can see more fun activities are added to the program each month. The kids have fun. read more

I love ABC little school in studio city. My son has been attending since he was 18 months old (the soonest I could get him in school) I was NOT looking for a Daycare where I would pay someone to just watch and play with my child but to have an academic curriculum in place. I wanted to start early education for my son and ABC little school has done an amazing job of getting to the level he is at today, ready and prepared for kindergarten! The staff is so friendly and supporting with everything going on with our family as a whole and treats my son as one of their own. I'm great full to have found such an awesome school where I feel safe dropping my son of each morning! Thanks ABC! read more

ABC Little School has been a sigh of relief with everything happening. My daughter runs in with a huge smile every day to elbow bump Ms. Marina or Ms. Jennifer. She talks about her teacher, Mrs. Melanie like they're best friends. The entire staff here is friendly and makes sure our kids are safe, well fed & have fun! My daughter is always singing new songs from the class and talking about all her classmates. This school is like a family-we are thrilled to be here. read more

Our two kids have been attending ABC Little School for nearly two years. Our daughter is in the Kindergarten program and our son is in the preschool. They are happy to go to school every day and we never feel at all nervous that they will be loved and taken care of. We also LOVE that the school provides healthy meals and snacks. The tuition is a great deal compared to other programs. We have several friends with children in other preschools and we are definitely the happiest with our school! read more

We started ABC right before the pandemic at 3 years old and decided to stay for kinder due to small class size which would offer more attention for my son on his early education. We are about to graduate next month and he is reading and doing math. They offer 1 meal and 3 snacks and they offer a variety of foods. He's great at eating his veggies. They do a lot of outdoor activities which is great for small kids who learn through play. Ms Monica is wonderful with the kids and Ms. Jackie is quick to respond and really helpful. They staff is amazing and we love it here and will be sad to leave as he will move on to 1st grade. read more

So glad I found this place! Before the pandemic there was a wait list. Had my daughter at a play based day care that I loved but I was ready to move on. Her speech seemed to have plateaued at age 2.5-3. I thought of a speech therapist. But my CrossFit coach (whose kid also attends) suggested an academic based school and because of the pandemic I was able to get her in. I felt safe with their COVID protocols with mask, hand washing, and pick up and drop off. Cameras everywhere and you need a scanner to get in. She thrived at abclittleschool! Now she can't stop talking. Staff is amazing! They're kind, loving, and nurturing. They have breakfast snacks, hot lunch, and afternoon snack. The hours are from 7am to 6pm for us working parents. Another preschool I looked at in the area was $300 more and they didn't serve lunch and the hours weren't accommodating. There are extra curricular activities if you want to pay more such as a cooking class and science class during class hours and they come to the campus. If not there is plenty to do. The school is play and academic based. From circle time to help kids engage in conversation, alphabet, numbers, shapes, Spanish, art, science, free time, etc. They rotate between 3 large playgrounds. They give homework and do an annual assessment. They encourage parents to get involved. There's also an App where they share pictures of your kid and you can communicate with the teacher and director if needed. I know, if we ever had to switch schools my daughter would be advanced because of them. On campus, staff are very involved and I feel like they all know you even with masks on. I highly recommended ABC little school. read more

We love ABC Little School Studio City- my son is always running in and out from pickups/dropoffs with a HUGE smile on his face. I know he is cared for and loved by all the staff. They are nurturing but at the same time structured. Ace started in the toddler program where the staff worked persistently to get him comfortable napping and playing nicely with his fellow classmates. They were always patient and kind during the transition process. Now he is 2 and is in one class above the toddler program. I am noticing a sky rocketed development. He is eating with his fork, throwing away trash, even putting his dish away! He also started communicating a lot better! Rest assured that if you choose ABC Little School Studio city you with see growth leaps and your child will be in the best hands! read more

We've been part of this ABC Little School community for more than 3 years and would highly recommend it to other parents. The current director, Ms. Jennifer, has kept the school running smoothly, kids and teachers healthy, and even programmed extracurricular activities on campus during the pandemic. Parents pick up and drop off at the gate to minimize any potential transmission, and it's worked wonders. Between the effort on safety and the enhanced curriculum, we are happy and so are our children. read more

Great School! If you are a parent that wants best care, love, learn and fun for your child, This is the place. ABC Little School,Studio City. Leave your Heart with the amazing staff and they will takecare of it to the fullest. I am a very picky parent and my son started last year going to ABC. Big thank to Ms. Marina, Ms. Jackie and Ms. Melanie. They support you and communicate with you anytime you needed. Love the Daily connect app that they are using for the parents to communicate with teachers and they update pictures, activities for the parents to see. That is amazing. Seeing your child through out the day is a great feeling and a relief. Plus...Hot and fresh AM, PM snacks and lunch. They serve all organic food. Thank you ABC Little School. read more

ABC Little Scool is like a home to our children. Our son started on December and we already fell in love with all the Teachers and the management. We do not have to worry about thinking of our son after we leave him there. Ms. Marina , Ms. Jackie and Ms. Melanie are so wonderful and very responsible about our kiddos. Teachers always have positive attitude and very welcoming all the time. We feel like we are leaving our son with our own family. Thank you for your support and best of luck! read more

Our child has been at ABC for about a year and a half and we absolutely love it. There have been changes in leadership that have added great value to the facility. Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Marina are incredible with children and have taken the school to the next level. When we started, the meals were not organic and had little nutritious value, so I would send a lunch box for my son rather than have him eat the provided school lunch. With the change in leadership and lunch menu, I have not sent a lunch box and my child tells me that he eats the lunch everyday - as a working mom this saves me so much time and is such a great help. We get weekly updates about the kids through a great app that is really easy to use as well as extremely secure. My son comes home and tells me how much fun he had at school and how much he adores his teacher. During the crisis points of the pandemic, they kept structure, love, and warmth for the children and I couldn't be any happier with the school. My son is excelling with numbers and letters, and everyday I am impressed with his ever growing language skills and I know so much of it is due to the curriculum and his teacher Ms. Melanie. We are so grateful to Ms. Melanie and her outstanding patience, knowledge and love she shares. We look forward to sending our second child, so overall highly recommend! read more

My daughter started ABC Little School, Studio City when she was 18 months. She is now 2 years 4 months. Within these months, I've noticed enormous language, cognitive and physical development improvements. She gets very excited to go to school. As a mother, if my daughter is having fun, learning, and is happy at school, then I am very pleased with ABC Little School. My daughter is constantly counting, saying the months of the year, days of the week, exploring new ways to play with her toys and more. Amazing I'd say. Reading prior reviews... I'd have to disagree. When Jennifer was director (she no longer works at ABC little school) she was very communicative and gentle with my daughter. Of course, when my daughter started, I couldn't walk her to her classroom due to COVID. But her teachers do a really good job communicating through an app called Baby Connect. With the new director now, Jackie. She is always smiling and happy. I can sense that she is going to be amazing and do amazing things. read more

Everyone, I know with kids, thinks my baby Noah (2 years and 8 mo) is genius! Thanks to the ABC little school. I don't know what is going on at school everyday but when I found out that Noah can read 70% of the alphabet, can communicate with no help, and knew many songs, I knew he was in good hands. On top of this, he does a lot of crafts and arts that I have a pile of. I am a crafty person so I know he enjoys doing them a lot. Noah is a picky eater (and super skinny) so I am always worried about his eating habits but his teacher, Ms. Tracy, knew exactly what he eats and doesn't eat only after one month which was impressive. Now I pack lunches a few days a week. read more

ABC Little School - Preschools Near Me - Studio City, California

Our son started ABC when he was 1.5 years old and has now been 6 months at the school. I must say it's been a fantastic school. All the teachers and staff are really kind and care. Our son loves them. And I am always surprised by how he has already learned from his ABCs to numbers. read more

ABC Little School is a rare and great find! We love this school. It offers full-day programs year round, which is ideal since my husband and I both work full-time. The director is sweet, understanding, informative and available. The teachers and staff are great, they get to know the kids likes, dislikes, strengths and help them work on the things they need to develop. The school has several jungle gyms and the play areas and classrooms are kept very clean. Our daughter loves the school and we could not be happier. read more

I have been apart of the ABC Little School family since 2017 when my first was 19 months old. As soon as his sister turned 18 months old we enrolled her right away. I can't thank all the faculty enough for all the love and patience they have poured into my children over the years. My son is about to enter kindergarten and Ms Elba taught him to read, write, read time, do addition and subtraction amongst many other skills. I have such a special place in my heart for her as she fills up a huge space in my child's heart. Ms Marina has been incredible over the last 4 years treating my kid's with so much kindness and attention. Ms Jennifer has done a fantastic job running the school during COVID and promoting safety for the children and staff. Ms Carmen was incredible preparing and cooking a hot lunch for the kids daily. I never had to worry about sending them to school in the morning without eating breakfast because there was always breakfast served along with an afternoon snack. This was important to me since I lacked the time getting the kids ready for the day and then heading off to work. Having the option to drop the kids off early and pick them up late took a lot of stress off of me with a hectic work schedule in healthcare and I thank the school tremendously for their flexibility. This especially meant a lot to me during COVID when I was working extremely long exhausting hours. There are so many teachers I want to thank over the years that made a huge impact on my children's success at ABC including Ms Andrea, Ms Bianca, Ms Claudia, Ms Ambar, Ms Mayra, Ms Anu, Ms Tammy, and Ms Melanie. Every single teacher has been incredible. My kids remember each teacher with fond memories and I'll never forget the impact that each one of them had on my children's' early development. Needless to say, I highly recommend this school for anyone that is looking for a quality preschool. There are two lucky kids out there that got to fill in the two spots my kids just vacated!!! read more

I've had 3 kids go through preschool here! My youngest will be in her last year coming this fall. Although I highly value a strong academic experience, that's not why I love ABC. I love ABC because they genuinely LOVE my kids. Even when my 3rd grader comes back to visit, she is remembered by name. The kids get a warm welcome whenever they walk through the door. Most importantly, I trust that the kids are safe. If there was ever an emergency, I know they would be well taken care. I can't say enough good things about Stephanie, the director, and ALL the teachers. If you want your kids to be loved and safe, then I suggest you take a look at ABC. On a separate note, I clearly felt the need to write this review after reading the review of Stephanie R. I have only one simple question to parents who contemplate that review. If the school is that terrible, why is she fighting so hard to get her child back in? It's a lovely school and they have a wait list for a reason. I have no hesitation in sending my kids here! read more

I can't say enough good things about this preschool. From the Director, Miss Stephanie to my son's teachers, Miss Elizabeth and Miss Aurora, this school is absolutely wonderful. We recently moved from San Francisco to the neighborhood and had heard through multiple sources how great ABC is. After a thorough review of other schools in the area we found ABC Little School to be the perfect place for our four year old kiddo to transition into kindergarten this year. Their program is a mix of play based and academics and my son's teachers are Spanish/English bilingual which is fantastic because we are doing the same in our home. Miss Elizabeth and Miss Aurora are loving and firm; they have both made my son who can be on the shy side, comfortable and happy. Thank you ABC Little School and your fantastic teachers! read more

Very happy we found this preschool. Our 2 year old has been here since she was 19 months and we've watched her language skills explode in that time. Education is very important to us and we feel she is already learning so much. And we love all the socializing and play she gets there. She's had wonderful teachers who are so sweet with her but also know how to keep a toddler in line. I don't know how they get all those toddlers to sit nicely for their yummy lunches the school serves. They're magic! I also love all the art projects they work on at school and bring home. The teachers and staff are very involved and also have fun events for holidays and special days. Really grateful for this school. read more

I was very disappointed with this school. I enrolled my daughter there a few months ago and she was in pre-school (2 y.old) I really liked the principal there and was very excited for my daughter to start this school. She was attending another daycare at that time and was really enjoying it. She never cried at her old day care and loved going there. When she turned 2, I had to enroll her to the ABC Little School. The first week at school she was doing ok. I was very happy that she is adjusting so well (and she is a very easy going child) however, the next 2 weeks were just awful. She would come home with her hands extremely dirty (as if they were never washed throughout the day) as well as her face. She would be drinking sooo much water (as if they didn't give her any during the day) and her runny nose was all dried up and crusty :( I never had something like that happened at our old daycare. On top of that, the 2-nd week at school she started crying every time I would bring her over (as soon as she saw the gate) and she would hold my hand so tight, I didn't know what to do. It would take me at least 40 minutes to convince her to stay there and leave for work. My heart was broken every time I left her there with tears and screams...and please believe me, she never acted like that before, never! I could not understand why she hated it so much...my heart was broken every day for her. One day I asked her teacher to please offer some water to my daughter a little bit more often because she comes home very dehydrated and drinks 2 sippy cups right away. Her teacher got so defensive about it - I regretted asking... That was the first sign to me that something was off. Another day I came a bit earlier to pick her up and was watching her playing from far away for a bit. I saw that her teaches didn't give a crap what the kids were doing. While they were busy talking, kids were eating dirt off the ground, kicking each other and pulling hairs. Now I knew why she was acting this way. We could not last more than 3 weeks there and I pulled her off. (Even though I payed for the whole month - money they would NOT return for the 4th week) We went back to her old daycare immediately. She is a happy kid again. Thank God! No tears, no dirt, no thirst and I am a happy mom! I know she was behaving this way not because she was missing her old daycare but because she was poorly treated. When she returned back to her old daycare, all her friend were gone (they all went to other daycares because all of them were turning 2) so she had to make new friends again (way younger than her) but she didn't care - she was happy and there were no tears. I do not speak for the entire ABC School - I only share my experience with a 2-year old (pre-school) group. read more

My daughter has been going to ABC for 6 months. It was very hard for me to leave her there mostly because she was so young and I've been used to family and myself caring for her. Tammy was her first teacher and my daughter DID NOT want to be there for about a month. It tapered as the weeks passed but it was hard to drop her off and pick her up with her crying. I, however, watched around the corner while picking her up and she was always content with a smiling face and was also making friends. After the first month we were golden. My daughter loves Miss Tammy and I do credit her with the transformation of my kiddo. My daughter is naturally painfully shy but she has grown so much since we enrolled her. Traci is awesome and consistent with the kiddos. A note about the thirst situation. I've seen what happens when the kids are getting ready for outdoor play. All kids are encouraged to drink water (obviously you can't make a kid drink if they aren't thirsty at the moment). My daughter, most days, does come home quite thirsty. But also, she's running outside for 30 minutes straight. When I pick her up before they go back inside she really does drink like a race horse! From my observations, the kids are very well taken care of (and cared for) and my daughter has been adjusting very well. To receive 5 stars: - Less TV. I know that it's on minimally but it also makes me cringe (even though I myself let my daughter watch at home) - I know kids are super messy but please change their clothes if there's a lot of tomato sauce on them! The two above I let pass pretty easily because I'm guilty of letting her watch and sometimes just be a mess. I don't expect the school to necessarily have higher standards than myself especially when I only have my one child. She's learning a great deal, being social, and is safe. read more

Great school! Our daughter just started going to this school and we couldn't be happier. The staff is so professional and friendly, so we feel very safe leaving our daughter there. The amount of things she learned within the first month is unbelievable. We're really happy! She loves the extra learning programs like cooking and science classes. read more

We moved my 2 year old son to ABC because his old in-home daycare just could not handle him anymore. He's a very active little boy and the old school did not provide any outside play time which he definitely needs. He is also speech delayed and the fact that the owner spoke very broken English became a much bigger problem. While I had done my research, I was still nervous about his transition. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. While he had a rough first week, he developed a bond with his teacher, Miss Yami, very quickly. He is so happy when I drop him off and pick him up every day. And they always have a ton of activities going on that keep him busy. I have noticed him socializing with other kids more and engaging in circle time (which he never did previously) and I know this is due to the diligence of his teachers. Miss Yami also goes above and beyond by working with my son on his speech and sounds while he is there..something she does not have to do and took the initiative on. That means the world to me. Overall, ABC is clean, orderly and very friendly. I would recommend it to any parent. My experience over the last 3 months has been wonderful and I'm glad we found a school that cares so much for our child's happiness. read more

Both my daughters have been going to ABC since they were 18months old. This facility is amazing, both my girls learned so much, the teachers and director are all great. ABC has set a great foundation academically for my girls. My oldest is now 5 and has been attending elementary kindergarten via Zoom. She is excelling academically, I credit ABCs teaching curriculum and the teachers dedication. My girls love and enjoy going here so much, if they need to miss school for some reason, they are not happy about that, that's how much they love it there. read more

Love love love this school, my oldest went here from age 18 months until kindergarten. The curriculum is much more advanced than public schools. By the time they leave to go to 1st grade, they are more than prepared. My youngest is there now and doing very well at 2.5 years old, already potty trained thanks to Ms Tracy and her patience His other teachers Ms Yami and Ms Tammy were great with him and introducing him to the school when he was new. Ms Kate and her assistant Ms Jackie are awesome with the school and all the children. ABC is well maintained and always clean. I have never had any problem with this school and I've been with them since 2007. read more

We have sent our kids there for at least 5 years. We love it there and have gotten a lot of our friends to send their kids there as well. Mrs. Jennifer has been a great addition and done a great job of keeping the school organized. read more

Our child has been going there for 2 years now and we love it! We're so sad that it's time for her to go to kindergarten. This place is awesome! Everyone is super sweet and loving. There's a very serious educational program with lots of time for free play. *They have 4 playgrounds and group children by general age categories so you don't have 1 year olds with 4 year olds and everyone gets lots of time daily in the yard. *In summer they do weekly water play where your child plays in the playgrounds with misters/water and it's a blast for all the kids. *They also do a weekly summer program where every week a different "vendor" comes and the kids learn about various things. This summer they had Aquarium of the Pacific for a petting zoo come, a regular petting zoo, a reptile petting zoo, a pirate came w parrots and taught them about pirates, they did a luau and learned about Hawaiian cultures, glow in the dark bowling, indoor camping w s'mores and a few other things. *They do optional field trips. This year my kid went to the Dinosaur museum and Tanaka Farms Pumpkin Patch. *They teach computer basics in the upper classes. *They move kids to new classes about every 6 months so they're always with their peers and moving forward. My 3 year old knows types of Dinosaurs, all the planets, can count to 20 in English and Spanish, has a really good vocabulary. It's hard to remember all the things she learned but it's just so impressive. I love ABC and rave about it to everyone I meet. read more
