My daughter attended Rio Child Care from the time she was 9 months until she turned 3. We were…read morereally sad to move on to Preschool, because this really was a truly special place. The first daycare we tried was a nightmare, but literally after the first day of attending here, we could see the difference in our daughter's care. They have separate locations for infant and toddler care, which makes it less overwhelming for the babies starting out. It's extremely clean and cozy, like a second home. They cook home cooked meals and provide healthy snacks. And when the time came, they even helped us with potty training. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor space to play and rooms to sleep. They do lots of activities, like water-play in the summer. My daughter was always bringing home the cutest art projects. They even make holidays and birthdays feel very special. When our daughter outgrew infant care, she attended their second location, which functions more as a discovery preschool. There she did a lot of the same things, but they started incorporating early learning with more structure lessons. It was very important to us that they met our child where she was developmentally, rather than expect her to be independent and follow a rigorous schedule. Ms. Rubina, her daughters and their team are very hands on, kind and nurturing, so each child gets the individualize care they need while still being able to grow and socialize. They helped us raise our daughter into a very happy, independent, smart and polite young lady. She had zero issues transitioning to Preschool, which we know is largely a part of the great care she received at Rio. We truly could not thank them enough.

I wanted to take time and update my review as my last one was done over four years ago. Since then,…read moremy first son has graduated from Rio and my second son has been here since he was four months old. Both of my boys love it here! There was a time where I decided to switch schools due to location. What a mistake! We quickly realized how amazing Rio is and worth the drive. My youngest is now 3.5 years old and is excited to see his teachers and friends every day. My oldest son still enjoys coming to visit and saying hi to everyone.

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.

As parents, there is nothing more important than knowing your child is safe, happy, and learning in…read morean environment where he is truly cared for. 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 are so grateful that we found Burbank Edu-Care preschool. They are a truly amazing preschool…read morewith excellent academic instruction, dedicated and experienced teachers, and a wonderfully supportive, loving environment. The director, Marie, has worked in childcare and preschool/kindergarten education for decades. We toured different preschools and Burbank Edu-Care stood out to us for multiple reasons. It's a small, intimate environment and the premises are beautiful. They have a garden on the preschool/kindergarten grounds and grow fruits & vegetables which they use to prepare healthy, organic lunches for the children. Lunch and potty training are both included in their very reasonable tuition fees. At other schools, lunch was a separate fee and potty training was an additional fee, or you could not enroll your child if they were not potty trained to begin with. The school has an adorable "parking" area where kids can park their tricycles and push cars in front of the school (behind a secure, gated campus). The private, high-fenced gate in front of the school ensures that strangers cannot see the children from the street and that the children are not in danger of street-based traffic. My 3-year-old child loves Ms. Marie and has so much fun learning and playing with the other children. They have plenty of opportunities for art, dance, music, and sound academic fundamentals like phonics, colors, shapes, etc. My child is completely safe at this school. I am also profoundly touched that Marie has taken a very special interest in our older, autistic child and has been so understanding of our unique childcare schedule. You can tell that she truly loves the children. For Ms. Marie, this is not just a job for her or a paycheck-this is her calling and she is uniquely gifted in her ability to connect with and lovingly care for your child. The school is fully licensed, very safe, it's small, intimate, and the kids are cared for with loving attention. Other schools for small children can feel chaotic or like your kid is a number in a larger setting, but that's not the case here. There is so much comfort in knowing that your child has found his or her community and niche. You don't have to worry about all the horror stories of inexperienced caregivers around your small child. TBH-my MIL was hesitant when I told her we would enroll our little one in preschool. She warned me that some kids find it too traumatic, and maybe she's safer at home (given what she's seen on the news, etc.). We are highly protective of our children. We feel confident we made a great decision choosing Burbank Edu-Care. Given the level of care/attention given to these children (plus potty training and healthy lunches included) -the tuition is very reasonable/affordable. If you tour and call other preschools and kindergartens that are in Burbank-Burbank Edu-Care's rates are very reasonable/affordable and they don't have the hidden fees (for lunches, potty training, additional hours for certain shifts, etc.) that some other programs charge. I highly recommend Burbank Edu-Care and am so grateful we found this amazing school! I can't gatekeep such a wonderful program when so many parents are seeking to find a safe, loving, supportive, and excellent preschool/kindergarten that builds on their child's strengths, gives them a sense of safety, care, and accomplishment, and lets them play with joy and creativity. Call Marie! She's awesome!

When my daughter was there, she learned to fully ready before she graduated. She was way beyond the other kids in her kinder class. They completely kept the kids engaged with learning, playing, music, arts and crafts. Their seasonal shows and end of year potlucks are so fun and they kids were always happy. They had it all. Miss Marie, the owner, is so kind. She really has put all her heart and soul and educational experience into this business. We will never forget her and her teachers.
