Ms. Hanna has such a natural gift with kids--our son always felt safe, supported, and excited to go each day. She encourages kindness, curiosity, and independence in every child, and it truly shows. We feel so fortunate to have found such a special place and would recommend it wholeheartedly.

If you're looking for a high-quality daycare that truly cares, look no further! After being…read moredisplaced by the Eaton fire, I was searching for a clean, nurturing, and supportive environment for my daughter--and I found exactly that here. From the moment she met Ms. Hanna and said "hello," I knew we had found something special. My daughter absolutely loves going to daycare every day, and that peace of mind is priceless. Ms. Hanna is not only warm and welcoming but also incredibly transparent about my daughter's progress, always keeping me updated and even sending pictures throughout the day. Since starting here, my daughter has become more social, outgoing, and confident--she always walks out with a huge smile on her face! As a parent, knowing that my child is safe, happy, and thriving means everything to me. This daycare has truly been a blessing, and I am beyond grateful for the care, dedication, and love they provide. If you want a place where your child will be valued, supported, and excited to learn, this is it!

10/10 recommend! The directors and staff do an incredible job providing a safe, nurturing, and…read moreeducational environment. My first daughter just graduated from BOD after being there for 2.5 years (she started at 5 months). And there was no question we would enroll our second daughter at BOD, who is now almost one, and we started her at 3 months! We have gotten to know all of the teachers throughout the years and each one of them truly cares about what they do to ensure every single child is properly cared for. My younger daughter had feeding/OT issues around the time she started at BOD, and the staff helped accommodate OT exercises and feeding practices to help her overcome her issues while away from home. BOD treats their students as if they are their own children, and my daughters have absolutely loved attending this daycare. THANK YOU BOD!!!

TLDR: Beyond is the best daycare we could have hoped for and our daughter loves going to school…read moreevery day (we can't get her to leave). They genuinely love the children and treat them like their own nieces and nephews but with the knowledge and care of professionals. Long version: I never saw myself putting my kids in daycare as I was lucky to be cared for by my grandma. However, shortly after getting pregnant I lost my mom and my dad was having a hard time traveling from San Diego solo to help. If you have ever looked for daycare for an infant, you know a good place has over a year waitlist! That was the case when we first visited beyond too but I knew this was the ONLY daycare for my daughter. It was the only daycare I toured that I instantly felt comfortable and trusted the director and it was sooo clean and kids were so happy. I could never envision my daughter at any of the other places or picture myself trusting them with her happiness and safety. But when I met Jasmine and toured beyond I just knew. The next few months, Jasmine was a savior with getting us some part time coverage. She really cares about the families and I could tell my daughter was so happy with all her teachers. I've honestly only heard a kid cry at drop off like once in the last year and a half. My daughter had zero problems transitioning to daycare and as she moved up through the different classes we've been so happy with all her loving teachers. My daughter is so fulfilled by her time there every day and you can't replace such a great social aspect for the kids too. I've come to realize it would have been a disservice to keep my daughter isolated at home. She thrives here. She comes home everyday learning so many things it's crazy. So many words, songs, letters, numbers, lessons I never taught her she just absorbs from being at school. I'm also amazed what a great effort they've put into the activities for the older kids. I'm so appreciative bc as a full time working mom with a newborn I have no time or energy for that. I also feel their gentle and conscientious style for dealing with issues or behaviors with the kids aligned with my parenting choices. Even again with our newborn, my dad found himself unable to keep his full commitment and Jasmine immediately had us covered. They will take care of you and your baby. Can't wait for our second to start her beyond journey too :))

Our daughter was a founding student at Modern Schoolhouse in Eagle Rock. She attended TMS from when…read moreshe was 18 months until she graduated as a 4-year-old (when our family moved from LA to Denver). It's difficult to capture the gratitude and appreciation we have for Sue and her team in words. Modern Schoolhouse was an integral, joyful part of our family's life for several years. The teachers expertly crafted a safe, nurturing, and rigorous environment that provided a strong foundation for our daughter to blossom and grow. I feel like we will always look back on our enrollment at Modern Schoolhouse as one of the best parenting decisions we've ever made. A few things stand out about TMS: CURRICULUM - Our daughter was enrolled in full-time childcare for a year prior to Modern Schoolhouse. However, it was unclear whether her previous caregivers were working toward any kind of goal (e.g., Kindergarten readiness) or if she was learning anything. That changed the instant we enrolled at TMS. I remember feeling skeptical when Sue asked us to purchase a special pack of flashcards. However, a few months later our 1.5 year-old daughter was recognizing the alphabet and making letter sounds at home. We were legitimately shocked! Preschool years are so important for kids to develop foundational skills and get broad exposure to different topics. Modern Schoolhouse delivers a learning experience that feels ambitious, but not forced. Our daughter was always engaged with the current unit (e.g., marine life, camping, etc.) and excited to go to school. That is the best feeling as a parent! The regular assessments and parent/teacher conferences helped us understand her progress and make a smooth transition to our new school in Colorado. CARE - At the same time that preschool aged children are exploring new academic concepts, they're also learning how to interact and play with other children. Modern Schoolhouse does such an excellent job helping their students communicate, manage their emotions, and engage with their classmates. At TMS our daughter learned things like how to ask for space and differentiate between good vs. bad choices. Teacher/staff transitions are inevitable and unavoidable in early childhood learning. What stood out to us about TMS was the quality and consistency of the team over the years and across classrooms. The teachers at Modern Schoolhouse helped us through the various ups and downs of life with a toddler and major transitions like potty training. Now that we're no longer enrolled at TMS, we're realizing that we took for granted how proactive and responsive the teachers were with their communication. The "ouch reports" from the playground, the quick responses to questions, it's all so important for parents - especially if this is your first childcare experience. COMMUNITY - Lastly, I want to highlight the broader Modern Schoolhouse community. Our daughter became very close with several other girls in her classroom and over time we became friends with their parents as well. TMS families are diverse, kind, and welcoming. I appreciated the music day potluck, annual art show, graduation, and the various other ways that Modern Schoolhouse brought everyone together to celebrate the students. Thank you Modern Schoolhouse! We will forever be grateful to you for the positive impact you had on our family.

We experienced ongoing communication issues while trying to enroll our daughter at The Modern…read moreSchoolhouse. Unfortunately, the lack of clear, timely communication throughout the admissions process ultimately led us to change directions for our daughter. Over the course of more than a month, we received conflicting information from multiple staff members about when our daughter would be able to start. We were consistently told she would begin in September 2026, only to later be told that August 3 was the only option. While that may seem like a small difference, many families plan childcare, work schedules, and finances months in advance, so changing the start date created unnecessary stress. Unfortunately, communication was the biggest issue. Multiple calls and emails took weeks to receive a response, and some were never returned. When we finally received a definitive answer, we were told it was essentially August 3 or nothing. To make matters worse, we were never clearly informed that there was a deadline after which our deposit would become non-refundable. Had that been communicated clearly, we could have made a more informed decision quicker. As a result, it felt like the school unfairly kept our $1,000 deposit because that deadline was never clearly communicated to us. Overall, our experience with the admissions and administrative process left us feeling that communication was disorganized and lacked transparency. For a school that parents are trusting with their children, clear, timely, and transparent communication is incredibly important. Unfortunately, the poor communication throughout this process was a significant red flag for me and my family.

Our son has attended Sundance for the last two years and will be attending Kinder in the fall, and…read morewe are so sad to be leaving Sundance so soon! I remember considering many preschools before we settled on Sundance: play-based schools, montessori, schools with a religious-bent, schools with an academic bent, etc. Sundance checked so many boxes for us as it has a balance of academic preparation, Korean language instruction, fine-motor skill development through daily crafts, gross-motor skill development through outdoor play and regularly scheduled events, good communication (through pictures, newsletters, and daily reports, and an outstanding director who is always available via text and email)! And the icing on the cake is that I don't have to make lunch every day. I'll say that again-- I never have to pack a lunch, because this amazing school prepares a healthy, HOT lunch in-house for the students every day. With three kids, this has been an immense blessing that I never take for granted. I truly feel at ease when I drop off my son at school. That kind of trust and peace of mind is gold. Thank you, Sundance! We love you!

My son has been at Sundance for the past two years and he has thrived here so much! I knew I wanted…read moreto come here due to our Christian values and to learn more Korean. He started at 3 years old and it was his first school. I was so worried the first day but he just kinda fit right in. He played on the playground with the other kids and the director sent me a video to reassure my worries. I cannot say enough about the teachers...they are so patient, kind and nurturing. I will be forever grateful for the teachers here that taught him how to wait in line, socialize with the other kids and teach my son to be more calm haha. He knows how to trace his Korean alphabets now too! And recognizes them. I text the director about any questions I have and she quickly responds. The activities are so cute too! And the food menu is better than my cooking lol. The only con I will say is the lack of parent involvement, volunteering opportunities and in depth communication with the teacher about progress in class. Otherwise, my experience in the pros outweigh the cons. My son feels so safe and cared for here! All the 5 star reviews are true! Sundance is such a gem and we are so sad to leave! We would stay here forever if we could!

Long overdue updated review! We just can't say enough good things about Pink Elephant. Although our…read morefirstborn had already moved onto preschool, but our babygirl is ready for daycare! Let me say, Ms May helped my both kids to start walking!!! Our girl is a bit physically delayed but once she started Pink Elephant, she stood up within 2 weeks and walking within a month! Not to mention, our firstborn started walking the very same week at Pink Elephant. We were pretty shocked! Don't know what Ms May did, but she definitely has tricks up her sleeves with kids! She literally has answers to everything. Know that Ms May and their staffs are extremely knowledgable as well! I've asked Ms May for many advices in the beginning with our firstborn because there's just so many questions and Ms May had answered them all, and helped us with their eating/drinking habits and so on. We are so blessed to have Ms May and staffs caring for our babygirl, daily pictures are such a bonus as many daycare doesn't do so on a daily basis. Pink Elephant does, consistently everyday too, now that's commitment. Give them a try, you won't regret it.

We cannot recommend Pink Elephant enough. Our youngest son started at Pink Elephant at 7 months,…read moreafter having such a positive experience with our eldest. Within a day, he was suddenly taking very consistent (and long) naps, eating on the same schedule we had at home, and actively engaging with all the teachers at the school. We would get regular photos of him "learning", something we really loved- despite being so young, the teachers continue to invest in his development. We can tell that they pay attention to him- they're constantly reporting back to us on his preferences and his development. It's also really clear how attached he's become to Ms. Mae. He lights up when he sees her and loves to be in her arms. We are so thankful that Pink Elephant has taken care of both of our children.

Bumo is on-demand, flexible child care, aimed at parents who need a safe and engaging space for their children. What I love most about sending my daughter to BumoCare is how flexible they are with my schedule, how easy they are to book, and the quality of care my daughter received. My daughter did a half day at the Pasadena location while my husband and I went on a much-needed date. I love how their classes are 10 students max, for ages 2-11, and they have different lessons and curriculums they switch up. For example, my daughter made a little shaker instrument when she was there. I also didn't have time to pack her any snacks or food, so I ordered a Little Spoon meal from them, and she ate it all up, she loved it! If you do pack your own foods, be mindful it's a nut-free facility. While we did have to sign a waiver beforehand just in case something happens, my mind was put at ease immediately when the staff sent photos and updates, and they do so often, which I appreciate more than people know. Hubby and I just knew our daughter was in caring and capable hands, and we know that trust is hard to find. When we came to pick her up, she had a big smile on her face, and they sent her home with a Bumo Brain Box, so there were many more goodies for her to enjoy in the comfort of her home too!

Just attended one of my grandson's preschool graduation to Kindergarten (a cap and gown affair) and…read morewas so impressed with the staff and what the students have learned. I'm just sorry that they don't offer Kindergarten here. I couldn't believe that the principal took the time to ask each of the 15 graduates a series of questions like their favorite color, favorite food, what they are good at, and one thing Jesus wants them to do along with relating their positive characteristics to the audience. Their teachers taught them 27 bible verses which they recited after the teacher gave them the first word of each verse. I think it's a good indication that the children not only build their academic skills but also their self esteem when the principal related that a high school graduate recently came back to see their preschool teacher there. So glad my grandsons had the opportunity to go here.
