In the…read morepast.. like few years back I have done a month of volunteer work and was very satisfied with the teachers, their curriculum, and the director of the school! They know how to treat each child with love, care and support. They have many different activities that goes on in this cute, yet full of knowledge by the staff. They work very carefully, hard and meticulously with your child. They don't discriminate against any child of their national/ethenic origin, race/color. It is a very SAFE environment for the child and their parents/guardians. Recently, I attended to one of my friend's child's Christmas party and was blown away by how well the party was organized/orchestrated by their staff members. Kids love their teachers and don't want to go home:-) By seeing, volunteering, observing everything and hearing word of mouth, don't hesitate to sign your child up at this cute, colorful, pretty ABC School. I don't know the parking situation, but they do have clean bathrooms for boys and girls!:-)

The director, Miss Jackie, is so supportive, understanding, etc. My second son has some behavioral issues and the school worked hand in hand with us to help him. He wasn't always easy and he required a lot of extra attention and patience and he always received that at ABC. The teachers and staff are phenomenal. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is curious about pre-school. ABC was more than a pre-school, it was a home and will always be a place that our family will miss and visit often.

The curriculum of the school is very smart and informed. It focuses on all aspects of learning for the children with a play-to-learn approach. The school's teaching philosophy, however, is undoubtly interlaced with structure, at the right temperature, for the kids. Teacher Miwa is incredibly kind and patient with the kids. She updates us with DAILY photos of our daughter and sometimes even provides little snippets about how her day is going :) Our daughter has been at the school for almost a year this summer and she has never missed a day of sending us multiple pictures of our daughter. School Director Carolina is wonderful too. She is fully equiped with a M.A. degree and it shows! I'm always happy to learn from her when it comes to child development and our daughter has a blast with her. She will miss her when she has to move to a new school and we will too. Although this may be the last year for this particular location, magical garden daycare should remain open and is located less than a couple miles away. The owner, Veronica, is really wonderful and runs two school operations (look into https://www.magicalgarden.net/). We will miss the school. All the Best, Miguel

This school truly is magical because it is a place your child is free to learn and connect through play in a completely outdoor environment with the support of you and the other teaching parents. I feel truly lucky to have been a part of this program where my kids have learned so much and so have I as a parent. Having community as a parent of young children is invaluable especially when the other parents are as committed to teaching the kids as you are. If you have an opportunity to join this school and are looking for a place that you can have a hands on role of supporting your child's education, this is the school for you!

Campbell Hall is an INCREDIBLE school. I am so grateful my daughter got in (for Kindergarten, now…read moreshe's in 2nd grade). Yes it is expensive, but 1 out of 4 kids is on partial or full financial aid and that was very important to us, because we can afford it, but we did not want our daughter going to a "rich kid" school. And this school really values diveristy, including socioeconomic diversity. It is technically Episcopal but 22% of the student population is Jewish and the kids learn about and celebrate all kinds of different holidays including Diwali. We of course worry about gun violence and the campus is a COMPOUND. You cannot get onto campus without being checked out by security, and there is a former Marine on campus at all times with his adorable German Shepard, Otto - who is GREAT with the kids but I imagine also trained to attack and take down anyone threatening. One of the things I like the best is there are so many after school activities on campus I don't have to drive my daughter anywhere else, I just pick her up a bit later on days she has activities like Toy Design, Junior Shark Tank, Tennis, Mindfulness, and Improv. And while we do not use the bus system yet, my understanding is that Campbell Hall has the widest and most extensive bus system of any of the private schools in LA. Lastly, the parents CARE and are really involved and the school really welcomes their involvement. And the kids are taught values and kindness is a major priority along with education. Again, I recognize the expense is daunting and it's very hard to get into, but we applied and got into Laurence, Oakwood, Hollywood Schoolhouse etc, and are extremely happy (and so is our daughter) that she got into CH. She is absolutely thriving.

Over 7 years ago, when I was a first time mom and didn't know where to send my 3-year-old to…read morepreschool, I started to do my research and ask around to find the best preschool in town. I took this mission so seriously because it is imperative for me to find an excellent preschool for my child as a preschool plays such a vital role in early childhood development. I toured so many top preschools from my list and made my comparison-spread sheet, but I couldn't find one that made me feel comfortable enough to leave my child there until I visited Oakdale. I immediately fell in love with this charming school. Nancy and Jeannine were so welcoming and down to earth. They let my 3-year-old boy freely playing with other kids in the yard, which is also part of their classroom, where kids learn through playing. I was encouraged to observe how the teachers interact with the kids. I was very impressed by how the teachers talked to the kids. The teachers acknowledged kids' feelings, helped them to set good boundaries, and facilitated kids to solve problems on their own. I saw how the teachers helped the kids build confidence in themselves. Oakdale emphasizes social emotional skills and helps kids to identify and express their own emotions and learn how to effectively communicate with their friends with words. Oakdale is a play based school, but also provides structured learning with monthly curriculum. My 3-year-old had such a great time playing at Oakdale; he didn't want to go home. I knew this was the right place! It was very nerve-racking not only for the child to have separate from their parents being away from home, but also for first time parents to have to separate from their child and leave him at preschool. However, Nancy and Jeannine totally understood the separation anxiety both parent and child could have. They were so incredibly supportive to help us for the transition. We, parents, were always welcome to stop by school or even stay to observe our kids at school at any time. Another important value about Oakdale, they provided great parenting support. They invited various childhood development specialists or psychologists as their guest speaker from time to time; all Oakdale parents were welcome to join the meeting at NO charge. Jeannine is a superstar! Being the director of Oakdale School, herself is a well-knowledge childhood development guru. She is my go-to person for any parenting questions. Jeannine is always a great listener, patient, empathic, and always so generous with her time to give me very helpful parenting advice, even after my son graduated from Oakdale and to attend elementary school. She has helped me to navigate the parenthood and made me to be a better and more confident parent. Moving forward, when I had my 2nd child almost 5 years ago, my husband and I had no doubt in our minds where to send our 2nd child for his most significant, meaningful, and influential years of his childhood, Oakdale. My little boy is currently at Oakdale and his experience with Oakdale is as great as his big brother. Oakdale has been consistently providing a supportive, loving, positive, and nurturing environment and safe haven for our children to grow, learn, and thrive. They helped to foster our children's confidence. We have watched our 2 boys blossom at Oakdale. Under Jeannine's leadership, Oakdale has a strong team of teachers who are all hard workers and also genuinely loving, giving, and caring towards the kids. And, kudos to Nancy who does an outstanding job keeping Oakdale running smoothly. Even with the hurdles of Covid-19, Nancy, Jeannine, and the entire Oakdale staff do their absolute best to keep our kids safe. Oakdale School is not just a preschool, it's a place to develop strong bonds and socialization skills for both our kids and parents. It's a support system for when you have no idea if your kid is the only one that does this or that. It's a safe place that puts all of your kids' well being as number one priority. Oakdale has never been a money-driven or business oriented school. They don't do fund raising like a lot of schools do. Oakdale treats everyone equally regardless of his/her ethnicities, cultural backgrounds and/or financial status. And, Oakdale respects everyone's privacy. They don't gossip and belittle. Oakdale has become our family's extended family. The loving care, support, and understanding that Nancy and Jeannine have shown us all these years, is beyond amazing. We truly feel so lucky, grateful, and proud to be part of the Oakdale family. When you walk into Oakdale, you will see kids running around carefree in their charming yards, painting on the easel, doing art projects with recycled bottles and papers, experimenting in science projects, playing in the sandboxes; you will hear much laughter and see every cute smiley faces. You know this is the happiest place on earth for the kids. What a gem! It makes me want to stay at Oakdale, too!

My daughter's teacher, Miss Ingrid, was amazing as well! Kids usually engage in different crafts and projects, which they are able to take home with them at the end of the week. They get to see and learn about different animals (another program that the preschool participates in). I very highly recommend this preschool. Not related, but I really think that it would make the look and feel of the school the little better, is that they need to update their furniture and paint some of the areas inside the school. It's looks a bit it worn out and needs some care. However, don't let the look of the school to dissuade you from sending your child there. Amazing program and caring teachers!

The teachers are caring and thoughtful and they create a very comfortable environment for little ones. The programming is enriching with a nice balance of structured and unstructured time. It also draws a great community and we've made some wonderful friends through the school as well. The school has a long track record of success, we even know kids who are in college that went to Briarwood and their parents still rave about it. We are so grateful for Briarwood and we're excited to have our kids there for a couple more years!
