It became a second home for our children and a special place for our entire family. Our kids were so well cared for, learned and grew so much, and made amazing friendships along the way.

We are fortunate beyond belief to have found this incredible school. It has been the most wonderful launching pad for my little one, setting her up for a healthy, curious, kind, and loving life. I have full confidence as she enters the "big school" (Kindergarten) next week that she will be ready socially AND intellectually thanks to the loving care and attention received from the teachers and leadership at New Generation. I found this school after trying many others in the area. New Generation is both play and academically focused, always clean, and has a GORGEOUS backyard play area (I always say it feels heavenly back there). I'll never ever forget how wonderful it felt to pick my daughter up in such a safe and loving environment every day and have her run across that playground to hug me. The school is not only kid-friendly, but parent friendly. They have always been kind and supportive in a way that parents of preschoolers need... they just get it. The front office empathizes and gives of their time and attention, always making me feel safe and seen. They also throw a great party!! The Fall Festival every year is seriously so much fun - we're still planning to go as a family even after we've left! There are always holiday activities, celebrations, shows, adorable Graduations... everything is just so perfect. Most importantly, the teachers are INCREDIBLE. We had Ms. Claudia, Ms. Laura, and Ms. Favi throughout the years, three of the most lovely women, always with a focus on learning, growth, development, and kindness. The kiddos spend so much time at preschool, it has been very comforting to know it is such a wonderful environment, complete with care and attention from very involved teachers. Ms. Favi, our current teacher, truly looks at her students as if they were her own, and treats them as such. My daughter loves her so, and dreams of being a teacher one day because of how wonderfully Ms. Favi does it. It will be so hard to say goodbye to her, and there will be no shortage of tears (mom included). I highly recommend this school for your sweet little ones. It feels like family, and I will forever be grateful to have found this special home away from home during such formative years.

Now that our boys are in TK and 1st, we are attending their summer camp program which is so fun for the littles, and next year you bet we'll be sending our youngest there to start preschool. :)

It is the perfect place for kids to start to learn and play. When kids have a hard time with drop off they let you stay and make your child comfortable (if that is what you want) they don't push you to do things as they want, they let you make the choices for what is best for you and your child. They are flexible and understanding in a world that isn't always. We couldn't have been happier looking forward to next year when our youngest will start!! Thank you to Kendra and all the teachers at Westminster Preschool!!

The outdoor spaces are extensive, and the addition of music, dance, STEM, and art classes are great additions to kids' days.

BTEE turned out to be a magical place where my son thrived.

I could not recommend BTEE more.

A Preschool That Truly Feels Like Family…read more We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Toluca Playhouse Preschool. Our daughter has been part of this nurturing school for almost three years, and our son joined eight months ago. From the start, it was clear that this isn't just a preschool, it's a place where children are genuinely cared for, encouraged, and loved. The director Gina is warm, thoughtful, and deeply invested in creating a safe, joyful environment where kids can thrive. Trusting someone else to care for your baby is never easy, but the team made the transition feel natural and reassuring for both me and my kids. She provided such great support every step of the way. My children's excitement when it's time to go to school says everything. They absolutely light up, and as a parent, there's nothing more comforting than knowing your kids are happy, learning, and surrounded by people who truly understand and respect them. Miss Mel is also incredible. She has such a calm and loving presence and an amazing ability to connect with toddlers in ways that make them feel heard, understood, and empowered. Both her and Gina's patience, creativity, and kindness have helped my kids grow not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well. Toluca Playhouse has been such a blessing to our family, and I couldn't recommend it more highly to anyone looking for a place where their children will be safe, loved, and encouraged to be their best little selves.

Toluca Playhouse Preschool is truly a hidden gem in this neighborhood. It's not an easy decision to…read moreput your child in the care of others and we toured 9 preschools before we decided on Toluca Playhouse. Ms. Gina and Ms. Mel are so genuinely caring and kind towards the kids. The class size is small and intimate. They are mixed ages which we loved so much because it gives the younger kids the opportunity to learn from the older ones and the older kids an opportunity to lead and teach the younger ones. There is LOTS of outdoor play time, they do tons of crafts and activities inside the classroom, there is yoga and music teachers that come in weekly, and every other week an animal comes to visit! So far our daughter has held or touched a tarantula, a turkey, a snail, parakeets, and more!! Not many places you would get exposure like that. I feel like it's the perfect balance of letting kids be kids and play endlessly but also introducing some structure that comes with traditional school. Our daughter was newly potty trained when she started and they were so careful and attentive to that process too. I can't say enough good things about this preschool, we love it so much. Our daughter loves going and not joking that some days I can't get her in the car during pick-up.

My son started when he was two years old (2024) and has been attending ever since. At the time, I was a mother of one and very anxious about our son being looked after by anyone other than family. Fortunately, they both did everything to make us feel like family for a seamless transition. It is well rounded program and incorporated into everyday tasks/activities making learning fun, while also practical. Every week is focused on different topics and the themes/events are communicated in advanced. Our son (who has known to be a picky eater from time to time) has tried new foods at daycare which is a major win. The care and attention to the kids and the program are unmatched. They take the time to communicate every part of the program (meals, weekly activities, daily highlights, and my personal favorite: pictures of their day) allowing us to have a conversation with our little one. Thanks to Dream Big Little One, we are confident our son is prepared to enter TK in the Fall. We will not be saying goodbye, more like see you later, as we definitely plan to enroll our baby into the program once, she is old enough.

We can honestly say that enrolling our son here has been one of the best decisions we've made. From day one, Isiris and Ms. Geni, have treated our family like part of their own. The culture is warm, welcoming, and genuinely family-oriented. What has impressed us most is the curriculum. This is far more than childcare. It is a thoughtfully designed early education program that prepares children for structured school environments in an engaging, age-appropriate, and innovative way. Our son is learning communication skills, independence, routines, problem-solving, and social development through activities that make learning fun. We have seen tremendous growth in his confidence, curiosity, and ability to adapt to new situations. His adjustment has been incredible. He genuinely loves going to school each day. As parents, there is no better feeling than seeing your child run into the classroom with a smile. Perhaps the strongest endorsement we can give is that we live in West Los Angeles and drive more than 40 minutes each way because we have so much confidence in this program. There are many options closer to home, but none that provide the same combination of care, education, professionalism, and community that we have found here. The team has created something truly special. They are helping shape confident, kind, and capable young learners while giving parents peace of mind that their children are in the best possible hands. We are incredibly grateful for the impact this school has had on our son and our family, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for an exceptional early childhood education experience.

We toured a few preschools but we didn't want a home daycare and some of the more institutionalized schools were incredibly expensive. The Learning Place was a nice in-between where it was more structured than a home daycare but less expensive than a more institutional school. At around $1,000 a month for 7am-6pm program we thought it was a great deal. The school has a nice outside playground with shade and cushioning a nice little playground. In our time there they did upgrade the playground to have shade and padding which was nice. Inside it is very clean and they separate the kids by age. There are two doors between the outside and the school so it is secure. They have an iPad check in and check out system. We chose the Learning Place because the director, Ms. Enereyda (Ms. E) is incredibly warm and friendly. I can't say enough positive things about Ms. E. We also liked that she speaks both Spanish and English and we could chat with her in Spanish. The other teachers like Ms. Veronica and Ms. Melina are incredibly warm and friendly as well. We always had very positive interactions with the teachers. We always felt that our daughter was in good hands at The Learning Place. I initially signed her up here because I was working in Glendale. After a year I began work somewhere else but kept her at Learning Place even though we lived in Sherman Oaks. We liked this place very much. Overall - - I highly recommend the Learning Place. We loved our 2 years there.
