Everyday they explore, play, discover, laugh and learn more than ever. The kids are going to school with a smile and coming home even happier. At little Stars, they have beautiful spaces (a community garden where they grow veggies, a beach playground, so many ateliers) and loving teachers. Unfortunately the school had to close for a few weeks because of COVID. They reopened 19 weeks ago, with new safety mesures and since then no one has been sick. Kids even don't realize there is a new protocol. So Mrs Darlene, Mr Louie, the teachers, thank you so much for making the school like normal, with running, hugging, laughing, learning children. We will always be thankful!

We looked at a few options for preschools and after touring the school and meeting the directors we decided to go with Little Stars. I wanted to wait until the end of our time at LSP to write a review of the school and I couldn't be happier to say that this school was such a perfect choice for my son. We love Little Stars Preschool and highly recommend to everyone we know. The directors as well as all the teachers are excellent. It's a wonderfully diverse community, supportive and safe. Thank you Little Stars!!

The teachers are incredibly nurturing, attentive and genuinely invested in each child's growth and happiness. The nature based environment encourages creativity, exploration and love of learning, while the academic program provides a wonderful foundation for kindergarten. One of the things we appreciate most is how much emphasis is placed on the whole child.

When I asked, they didn't know. Despite promises of organic food, they gave store-bought snacks, and they wouldn't allow us to bring homemade meals. The class sizes were larger than claimed, and teacher coverage was inconsistent. One particular teacher's presence made my child anxious, and he'd cry at the sight of her shirt. One day, I noticed blood on his clothes; I was told he fell, but supervision was lacking. After a year, the only things he learned were negative habits. The fees varied by family, not fairness. I hope this honest review helps other moms find the safe, loving environment every child deserves.

The balance of creative and academic activities is so thoughtfully done. Each day is thoroughly designed to nurture curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning. Ms. Maria, Ms. Beatrice, and Ms. Angela are truly incredible. Their patience, kindness, and genuine love for the children made such a meaningful difference in our son's growth and confidence. They supported him beautifully in his learning and were especially amazing during potty training; always encouraging, gentle, and positive. Watching him thrive in their care has meant everything to us. Ms. Julia brings a level of professionalism, care, and organization that is truly felt throughout the school. She clearly understands how to thoughtfully run a preschool while still maintaining a warm, family like environment. We are endlessly grateful for the love, care, and strong foundation this school has given our son. West Hollywood Children's Academy is truly a gem, and we would recommend it without hesitation to any family looking for the very best preschool experience.

Our child's preschool experience at SLCC was truly magical. As a Reggio-inspired school, SLCC…read morenurtures a genuine curiosity for learning, emphasizes kindness, and thoughtfully guides and supports each individual child. From the beginning, our daughter felt a sense of comfort at SLCC that allowed her to thrive- as if it were a second home. We watched her blossom into a thoughtful, kind and compassionate child during her years at SLCC. We really liked the mixed-age setup, which allowed her to learn from the older kids while also giving her the opportunity to be a big sister to the younger ones. We also appreciated the inclusivity at SLCC through programs like culture shares, where families are able to share their family backgrounds and values. The teachers are exceptional and deeply care about their students, getting to know and connect with each child intimately. Our daughter felt so safe with them and still talks about them often! The teacher reflections and assessments were pages long and would often bring us to tears because they were so beautifully written. Because the school is small and intimate, our daughter formed some deep, early friendships that will probably be lifelong. SLCC also fosters a wonderful community of parents, and we didn't expect to form such meaningful friendships with other families during preschool. We will really miss being part of this school and we're so grateful to have found SLCC.

The SLCC teachers offer the highest level of understanding of early childhood development. Their level of dedication to this field is evident in every aspect of the school, from the thoughtful, responsive curriculum, to the way in which they communicate and exchange ideas with the children. I have learned so much from watching these interactions. Teacher observations of the children are also shared in a substantive newsletter which I look forward to receiving every week. Much more than a summary of weekly happenings, these are deep and personal reflections on the group dynamics, conflict resolution, problem solving and other topics from which I continually gain practical and applicable knowledge. They often cite research to support their discussions or to provide answers for their own emerging questions. I feel privileged to be included in a teachers' process of discovery and to benefit from the resulting insight. I have urged the director to publish these beyond the community --they are that good. This sharing of knowledge has allowed us to bring so much of my child's school life into our home. It has also provided us with an incredible community of dedicated parents. I couldn't be more grateful for the way SLCC has shaped our lives.

The teachers and staff have seen me at my best and my worst. On the days I feel like I have it all together and on the days when I'm barely holding it together. No matter what, they have been nothing but supportive and understanding. They truly care about each child and family in their care and that makes all the difference. Our children have thrived, not just academically but emotionally and socially. They are excited to go to school. They come home full of stories and have formed such sweet friendships. If you're looking for a preschool where your child will be nurtured and you as a parent will feel truly supported, I can't recommend Young Minds enough.

We are incredibly thankful to have found Young Minds Preschool (West LA); such a lovely community…read morewith the most dedicated directors, staff and teachers. My son first started in the three year old classroom (Orange Hummingbirds). We received detailed weekly observation reports from his assigned teacher with photos and descriptions which we really enjoyed reading. We were at a crossroads since he was eligible for LAUSD TK fall of 2024. However, we made the decision to enroll him in the four year old program (White Owls) and are so glad that we did. For a kiddo that was very resistant to change, we were not sure if he would be ready for the transition to a big elementary school. In the White Owl classroom, they have dedicated rest time (even if he doesn't nap) to recuperate so he doesn't have a complete meltdown by the end of the day. There is weekly enrichment (cooking, sports, music, art etc.) and so many campus events including water day, snow day, fall/winter/spring festivities. They also spend time on workbooks learning about math, phonics, syllables, compound words, the list goes on! For working parents, the option to have extended hours is great (morning program and afternoon program with total care hours of 7:30am-6pm available). We currently have two kids enrolled at Young Minds (one two year old in Purple Finch) and they love going to school. We also plan on enrolling the third once she is of age. We love Young Minds!

We were hooked. The operator, Patricia, created a beautiful environment that feels both intimate and aspirational. The staff is immersed in the Reggio Emilia pedagogy, which makes the school feels less "schooled" and not like a daycare where they're just "watching" children. Every space presents an opportunity for learning, engagement and growth. Every teacher engages with your child. There are no "worksheets." The children learn through projects and individual study. We loved the annual camping trips and nature hikes. Over time, the school and families became a safe haven for our family, changing our perspectives of what a school should be. It should be an extension of community. I can't say enough about how amazing this place is. I literally can't find anything that compares.

There are lives and people here that do want to make a difference in the lives of children and the families that go there. That is a good thing. If you don't have a child who is attending Wagon Wheel or has attended the school I don't think its fair for you to leave a review. Now that is my opinion.
