Gloria, the owner, is absolutely fantastic--so caring and truly passionate about early childhood education. Our daughter thrived in her care, and her language skills exploded during her time there.

The price is reasonable and gets progressively cheaper as your child gets older. The curriculum is fun with a different theme every week. Also, my daughter's teachers showed up to her birthday party all 3 years. What teacher does that?! They also knew so much about every kid, it's so clear that they engage with them. They also do events and invite the parents, like performances and graduations. It felt like such a special place and we were so sad to leave after we moved. Leaving your child is always hard, but I felt good knowing that my daughter was well-cared for, learning, and obviously loved made me feel better!

A Bright Beginning has truly exceeded my expectations. My child has been with a Bright Beginning…read moresince 1 years old at the Prairie Campus and has been attending the Manchester site for a year now. I am overjoyed to say that this school is amazing. The director, Ms. Reed, greets you every day with a warm welcome and is very attentive with all of my needs and concerns as a parent. I cannot express how much Ms.Reed has made me feel at ease to have my child attending school. My child gets excited whenever Ms.Reed or Ms.Jordan are there to greet her in the mornings because they show the greatest amounts of love to her. Even in the mornings when my daughter is moody, I feel 10x better seeing them there because I know they will comfort her. The school goes up to Kindergarten and every teacher that works there, I know without a doubt, will have my child's best interest. Her teacher at the moment is Ms. Webster, she has wholeheartedly made me an even prouder mother by teaching my 3 year old how to count to 100, read, and write! My daughter is excelling tremendously in her academics all whilst having fun. Ms.Webster knows my child like the back of her hand and shows great attention to detail with my daughters likes and dislikes. Every night when we're doing her homework she surprises me with something new she learned every day. I recommend this school to any parent looking for a welcoming community for their children. It's really one of the greatest in Inglewood.

Two years prior to my son being ready for preschool we began a search for the most appropriate…read moreprogram for him. During that time, we observed every type of approach imaginable. Reggio, Montessori, church-based, home-based, academic, private and public. Seriously, no rock went unturned. Walking into John Tracy was immediately impactful. The campus is secure with a gate and cameras at the opening. I can't tell you how many schools I was able to walk into off the street. The grounds are also immaculate. It is absolutely the cleanest preschool we saw. That includes the private ones priced at $25k and above. There's a real sense of pride shared by every individual in every position at JTC. I spent extensive time over the course of a few weeks speaking with and emailing the director Angie, and observing the classroom. Courtney is a wonderful teacher. She's caring and has clear, consistent boundaries for the students. The school also has a world class counselor in Mary Beth who is always available to offer strategies and support. The entire team at JTC also facilitates weekly parent classes. As an added bonus, Mt. Saint Mary's partners with the school through a grad students program throughout the year. This was important to us as it allowed for constant 1:1, often more than that, interaction for our son. Additionally, the class is always being observed either in the room, or through an attached observation area. The teachers and administrators are always on their A-game and available to parents. When it came down to choosing a program we selected JTC because of all the above and the one intangible we didn't find elsewhere. I unequivocally trust them with my child, period. Their approach to each child as an individual is anchored by relationships with the parents. They make a real attempt to include us as part of the JTC family. In all of this, I've yet to mention the fact that the school is primarily for children with cochlear implants and severe hearing loss. My son has neither of these. If he did, the program is considered as one of the best in the business. They combine best practices and developmental expectations as all of the children will be moving on to kindergarten. Some in traditional school settings, and some in mixed hearing loss/traditional programs. My son is still able to work on his own academic pace, and interact with children his own age as he would in a more traditional preschool program. These children may have hearing impairments, but are just like any other 4-year-old you encounter. We took a chance to do something a little outside the box, and I have zero regrets. Our experience at JTC will stay with our family and my son in particular for a lifetime. We are indelibly grateful to this program. I truly couldn't say enough good things about this school, staff and parents we've encountered.

This is the best preschool development center one can ever imagine. The teachers are educational…read moreprofessionals so they approach children with the newest methods. Before finding our perfect school we tried a couple of other schools in the area and found out that they had a three hour nap, which was not an option for our active 3 year old boy. They have a psychologist and development specialists on site, which is very helpful. I love that they have lengthy outside play time in the shaded yard. Oh, and I forgot to mention the huge Morton bay fig tree in the front yard, which is the soul of the whole preschool. It was so great to bring my son there every day after the hustle of downtown Los Angeles. Highly recommend!

Finding this school was truly a blessing. The teachers love the kids and facilities and outdoor…read morespace are wonderful. The outdoor yard is big and grassy (real grass) so the kids can just run, run, run. It makes a difference that the teachers and aides see the children as a blessing from God rather than just a job that pays the bills. My 3 year old talks about how nice Mrs. Ambrose and Mrs. Gabb are. During the week off of school, she started to ask when school was coming back. My little girl knows how to pray and they go to a 10 minute chapel service every Wednesday. It's all so wonderful and adorable. We, like you I'm sure, had toured many schools. We looked at Young Minds, New World Montessori, St Johns, Bright Horizons, and others. Of all the schools we looked at we had a pro and cons list. For Building Blocks, it was all Pro's!

My daughter has been at BBCA for two years and I can't say enough positive things about it…read more I toured a lot of preschools within the area and ultimately decided to send my daughter here because the environment is warm and welcoming, the outdoor space is colorful with a large grassy area, the classroom is clean, organized, and filled with colorful artwork. The teachers are engaged with the kids, they really know each child, and they are so creative with their lesson plans. The school is play based, but my daughter is starting to read, she's writing and spelling words, she's understanding math concepts (counting, adding, patterns, comparison), and her social-emotional development is supported in a nurturing way. The school is great at organizing small events for holidays and for the community. One of our favorites was the snow day where they brought in a snow truck and filled the grassy area for kids to play in. Highly recommend touring the school!

This is a great school! There is constant communication between the school staff and parents and…read morethe school consistently provides opportunities for parents to be involved. The kids have days filled with creative and exciting activities without any screen time (I've seen other preschools and daycare's with TVs in the classroom:( ). They also do much more thoughtful activities than just coloring and painting which I experienced at previous schools. I'm very appreciative of the diversity in the school. I toured many different schools throughout my son's time in preschool and this has been one of the most diverse that I've seen. My son's teacher is Ms Ingrid and she is very kind and thoughtful. It's been really sweet watching my son learning and taking interest in Spanish even though we do not speak Spanish at home. Also the owner, Ms Brittie is very involved and very quick to respond to parents. Overall, I feel that there is a lot of thought and intentionality put into the way that the school was designed and runs. research based and geared towards celebrating each child's individuality while still helping them develop, socially and academically. :)

The teachers and staff are incredibly loving, attentive, and care deeply about the well-being of the children. They know them, inside and out. Our phenomenal (and beloved!) teachers were Ms. Michelle, Ms. Aileen, and Ms. Carissa and I could not have asked for a better, more capable and magical team to love my little girl! From amazing activities like sports and cooking and yoga and martial arts and dance to a real snow day on campus, the kids are exposed to so many awesome things! I wished I could go there as an adult, the kids have so much fun! The communication is perfect - I got so many updates and pictures and felt like I could talk to teachers and admin for ANYTHING at ANY TIME. They are also UNBELIEVABLE when it comes to protecting kids with food allergies -- and not just because its a nut-free campus (which is amazing). I was NEVER worried about my daughter's severe egg allergy. I'd get photos asking if certain foods were safe, and if they weren't, we'd know to send in a substitute. The impact of the amazing leadership of Ms. Jessica and Ms. Maya was palpable in how beautifully the school is run. They were also so incredibly helpful and supportive of us when we needed support with an on-site IEP evaluation and referrals to future schools (as we were moving out of state). One of the worst things of us having to move was having to leave Young Minds and not giving our daughter one more year of that most spectacular place. If you're looking for a place that will help your child thrive and bloom into an amazing little human, look no further. Young Minds is their home :)

We chose ACP for their outdoor classroom style. The outdoor area is beautiful, with shady trees, a garden the kids help care for, a playground, plus sand and grass to explore. The kids spend most of their day outside, running, playing, and building friendships. There's plenty of time later in life to sit at a desk. At this age, we wanted our child to explore, learn through play and just enjoy being a kid! The teachers are incredible and their level of care has been so appreciated! They eased our nerves in those early days with extra care, hugs, and photo updates. Now our son happily says, "I'm ready for school!" each morning and cheerfully waves us off at drop-off. Thank you ACP, for caring so deeply for our family and putting us at ease.

The teachers at Milestones nurture the kids and follow their interests, encouraging them to play, explore, grow, and try new things.

Milena is so responsive to any questions we have, and has helped us navigate developmental hurdles with care and thoughtfulness. She has many years of experience and I love that I can come to her for advice. The school community is also great. It's a small, diverse group of parents and kids that I've enjoyed getting to know through school events and playdates. I'm so happy that we found Milestones.
