Such a beautiful, and fun place to have our kids start their Catholic foundation the sisters (nuns)…read moreare amazing, but in the last two school years (2024-2026) this nursery has a dramatic change. A committee was put in place made out of volunteer parents which dictates how to manage the nursery. They have full access to personal accounts (billing) , private chats (playground app), and medical files (parents tb test) and who knows what else. This is sad and disappointed to know that Sister Gisela (principal) has no authority over what she has created. What was once a place of trust and faith now feels compromised -- and unfortunately, it's a serious privacy concern that could lead to legal consequences. This school used to be a peaceful, beautiful and holy place to families. Now it has become full of disappointment, evil vibes, sadness, anger and arguments upon parents and sister Gisela.

INFORMATIVE REVIEW: Best decision I could have made. I…read morewanted to send my kids to a Catholic school but thought I would not be able to afford it. This school is soooo reasonable and the education is top notch. You pay $130 per week. First, if your Catholic you will appreciate the fact that it is being run by the Sister of St. Claire's. It was a little intimidating at first because they are the real thing. They are Godly, stern, caring and compassionate. It is amazing to send your kids to a faith based school that teaches your kids faith followed by a top notch education. I am very good about teaching my kids at home but that coupled with the education at St. Anthony's put my boys at an educational advantage. This school is well structured and safe environment for kids. They are also big on socialization skills which is important for preschoolers. They put on a shows like the spring show, coronation of the Virgin Mary, All Saints day and some many other cool stuff. They take so much pride in everything they do that it just makes you feel like you know you have made the right decision. Kids must be potty trained. Uniform worn 4 days a week. Burgundy polo with dark grey pants. This could be purchased directly at the school (very reasonable). You can buy lunch Wednesday's and Friday's only. Friday's only is pizza day and free dress day. They respect all COVID restrictions and adhere to all the public health standards. Homework is assigned every week and due the following week. Open from 7:30 am to 5:15 pm. Principal is Sister Gissela Phone number is 310-329-3166 I hope that helps you and you cannot go wrong with this awesome preschool.

I've had multiple interactions with Mrs. Cola in the school office, and unfortunately, each one has…read morebeen unpleasant. Her tone on the phone is consistently dry, dismissive, and comes across as rude--like answering basic questions is an inconvenience. As a parent, it's frustrating to feel talked down to when simply trying to support my child. Front office staff set the tone for the entire school, and this kind of communication reflects poorly on the environment. I strongly urge management to address this behavior and speak with her about maintaining a more respectful and professional tone when dealing with parents. A simple shift in attitude would make a big difference. That said, the rest of the staff and teachers at the school have been wonderful--kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in the students. Our experiences with them have been consistently positive, which makes this contrast even more noticeable.

Two of my children have went onto the next level of education ready for the challenges they were going to face, because of the family of staff at 156th St. School. The teachers are friendly and patient. They have a great principal Ms. Dudley to lead them. She is approachable and friendly. 156th St. School is also academically the best you are going to get in a public school in the surrounding areas.

My sons teacher MRS GIDDENS RICHIE is the absolute best teacher a child can have when building a solid academic background. She is very caring and loving toward her TK children. Kidd always come back to her and say thank you and show her much love. I was not happy with the school overall but she made it worth wild being there. She is very involved with her students a teacher who is passionate about the kids learning. Not just passing them along. I wish she could be my sons only teacher!!

Therefore I would have expected better attitude from all the staff. They are rude along with the principal. Asking them a simple question seems nearly impossible, the lady seemed fustrated with all the parents. Drop offs as well they dont open the gates until 8 so have all the students and parents waiting. Got a call my student wasn't enrolled and then that she was. Very unorganized, summer school shouldn't be held at this school.
