The staff is friendly and professional, and you can feel the love they have for children in everything they do. They truly enjoy the honor they've been given to spend their day with our precious ones and it shows. You can see the care and attention they put in to making every day stimulating and special for the kids. Would highly recommend giving this school a try if you want a positive, stimulating environment for your child.

Both of our children began their preschool years here, and from day one they have been surrounded by love, patience, and encouragement. Our son is naturally sensitive, and the kindness and understanding of his teachers helped him feel safe, confident, and excited to learn. Watching him grow socially and academically because of the care he received meant everything to us! When it was time for our daughter to start preschool three years later, we didn't think twice about enrolling her here. Seeing her now thrive as a current preschooler has only confirmed that we made the right choice. The teachers and staff are truly the kindest souls. (Shoutout to Ms. Geselle, Ms. Mo and Mrs. Roshi) They care for every child as if they were their own, creating a warm, welcoming environment where children are supported, celebrated, and inspired to learn every day. We will always be grateful for the incredible impact this school has had on our family. It has given our children such a wonderful foundation, beautiful memories, and a genuine love for learning! We wholeheartedly recommend this school to any family looking for a place where their children will be nurtured, encouraged, and truly cared for.

    If I could give them 10 stars I would!…read more When I called searching for a school for my then 4 year old, I was so distraught coming from a horrible preschool experience. Crying just about every day. I found them on Yelp. We met with Director Crista and Teacher Parisa to see if it would be a good fit. We toured and talked about the school's philosophy and teaching model. I had a very good feeling. There are so many student teachers always helping the teachers, as they are completing their education attending CSUN. These are trained professionals here that strive to help your child grow. They have an interest in early childhood and developmental education or they wouldn't be here. As opposed to daycares and preschools who just hire anyone who obtains a certificate. HUGE DIFFERENCE. Here, they help children to learn, communicate, understand, and emotionally grow. They understand each child's emotional needs, helping them to socialize, work together, building confidence, learning strategies, having routines and structures. They have the most beautiful play yard! Lots of beautiful trees, swings, grassy areas, sandbox, jungle gym, tricycles, hopscotch, sidewalk chalk, learning and exploring tables. Water tables. So much to do for active children. Reminds me of my childhood backyard. Weather permitting, they eat lunch and snacks outside under the shade of trees and in nature. I love this! Our teachers Parisa, Solomon, Jimena, were the best! The ratio of children to teachers is lower than most schools, as they always have two main teachers and 1 to 2 student teachers. Director Crista is also very involved with the kids, she is absolutely amazing with children. All of the teachers and staff are great here. Many have been here for a decade or more, that speaks volumes. Denise in the front office helped so much with accepting our CCRC, I'm so grateful! I can't say enough good about this little hidden school. I never left there after dropping her off wondering if my child was ok. It's a great feeling knowing they are being nurtured and safe while you are gone. She looked forward to going to school every day! Can't forget to mention that you are welcome to visit anytime. Although the facility remains locked and monitored, they have observation rooms available to come and observe your child behind 2 way mirrors in classrooms. Nothing to hide here. I literally cried every day of our last week here knowing that we were moving on to Kindergarten. We would definitely still be here if they offered Kindergarten. I can't say good about this school! Get on the waitlist if you have to!

You can trust that they will take great care of your child. The school is well-staffed; the teacher to student ratio is unparalleled: approximately 1 teacher to 4 students. The school is NAEYC accredited, whereas the majority of preschools are glorified day care. The director is intelligent, competent, and loves children. The center is well-managed, and any concerns are quickly addressed with level-headedness, openness, and logic. Another plus is that the program runs through the summer without interruption, a great option. They currently offer programs M-F with different times: 9 am- 11:30 (Half Day), 9 am-3 pm (Extended Day), 7:30am- 5:30pm (Full Day); this provides a lot of options for different family needs. I am extremely grateful that my child attended Lab School, and I only wish he could continue beyond pre-school. Go ahead and put your newborn on the waitlist because, as I understand, it fills up fast!

We had such a wonderful experience with Teacher Nancy in Parent & Me. Now that my daughter has moved up to preschool my son is attending parent & me with her this fall. Teacher Nancy is attentive, does a great job of keeping the kids engaged and always creates a fun and unique craft the kids can enjoy at this young age. My daughter just started preschool and we couldn't ask for a better teacher in Ms. Crystal! She is so kind, she has such a great grasp on what the kids and the classroom need at any moment. We have felt so comfortable and confident with our daughter in her care. The school space itself is amazing, it has a huge indoor play area and a fantastic outdoor space with swings, a pirate ship play area, messy kitchen, play houses, sand toys, climbing gym and toy cars. My favorite part of this preschool is the community. Even just being a part of parent & me I was able to get to know so many great families, now that we are in preschool it is a group of people all working together to make the school great. Being part of a cooperative is a special experience I didn't know about before joining this school, it makes that first transition of leaving your kids at preschool so much easier for you and them since you know not just the fantastic teachers but other caring parents are there to support them.

We've been part of this wonderful community since 2023, and we couldn't be happier. Teacher Nancy and Ms. Crystal are beyond amazing! I love that the school is play-based and has such an open-door policy. It's also parent-led, which means parents are highly involved and truly feel like part of the community. My oldest son was born during COVID, so we didn't have many opportunities for socialization in those early years. This school helped him come out of his shell and grow into the wonderful, confident little boy he is today. Now, my youngest son knows all the families and is completely comfortable at school. We've been so involved that both of my boys see this place as their second home--and they absolutely love it! This school hasn't just made a difference in my boys' lives; it has also had such a positive impact on my husband and me. We've made lifelong friends, found our village, and become part of a truly special community. We are so grateful for everything this school has given our family. Thank you for creating such a loving, welcoming, and special place for our children and for us!

As a first-time mom, I had many concerns about transitioning my daughter into a preschool program, but the Petite team quickly reassured me and made the experience such a positive one. From the very beginning, every staff member was warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in the children. One of the things that stood out most was that every teacher knew my daughter by name, even those who were not her direct teachers, which truly showed how connected and caring the entire team is. Ms. Salmeena and Ms. Marilyn have built such a special program. Their dedication, leadership, and attention to detail are evident in everything they do, from the thoughtful planning to the incredible support they provide to both teachers and families. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience at Petite. The impact this team has had on my daughter's growth, confidence, and development has meant so much to our family. It is incredibly bittersweet to say goodbye, and while I am so sad to see this chapter come to an end, I am comforted knowing we will be back next summer for camp! Thank you to every teacher (special mention to Ms Janelle, Ms Rebecca, Ms Jackie, Ms Rosa) and every staff member who played a role in my daughter's journey. We will always be grateful for the memories, kindness, and care you have given her.
