During this time, he was also extremely attached to me, my husband, and his grandparents and didn't like being taken care of by anyone else. I was very nervous about this and Ms. Tata completely understood. She and her team were patient with all of us! We worked together to help him with the transition. Now he loves going to daycare! The value is also incredible. Reasonably priced but no skimping on any of the things we all look for: a safe environment, kind & compassionate staff, homemade food, tons of activities for kids. He's made so much progress on his play and communication. We're so glad to have found Magnolia Woodman Childcare!

My 1 yr old has being going here since he was 4 months old and absolutely loves it; it's his favorite place to be--he practically jumps out of my arms when he sees Beatris and doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. Everyone is so kind and knowledgeable and I trust them implicitly. It's gotten to the point where all of my mom friends ask me what Beatris thinks about baby/toddler things because she's such a wealth of knowledge! Highly recommend--FIVE STARS

From her very first day, she was incredibly happy and hasn't stopped talking about her new teachers and friends. She is always talking about Ms Emily, Ms Daisy, Ms Vanessa and Ms Fatima! They're all such wonderful, caring teachers. What I love most is the communication--the teachers send daily updates and pictures of everything, from their fun activities to potty and diaper changes. It gives me so much peace of mind while I'm at work. The facility itself is always spotless and so thoughtfully designed; my daughter is obsessed with the cool indoor rope net and all the fun play areas. We are so grateful to have found a school where our daughter feels safe, loved, and genuinely excited to go every morning!

I really wanted to like this place since it was so close to my other son's school. So I booked a…read moretour to check it out. The tour was not really a tour at all, nor was it informative. I didn't get shown around the facilities, I had to ask to be taken to each specific area. I wasn't given any information at all until asked. I wasn't offered a price structure or informed about waitlists or half days/full days or potty training requirements or pick up times or if lunch was included or class ratios until I asked. No information about parental communication apps. There were a lot of pockets of silence. When asked about what their daily schedule is like, I was told "We have it posted over there." The kids looked happy and the teachers seemed sweet. This place is super convenient for me and I would have 100% sent my son here if the tour was better. I just felt like I was intruding and the director was just waiting for me to leave so she could get on with her day. So awkward.

She always came home clean, fed, and happy, and there were never any injuries or health concerns. I couldn't believe how they had my daughter wearing a hat outside and sleeping in a crib--this helped a lot to create good habits at home, too. The daycare is immaculate, and all the toys are in excellent condition. I'm picky about what my daughter eats, and their menu is great--very healthy. I also love that I never had to worry about sending food with her. Most importantly, the teachers are caring and warm. My daughter LOVED them. They have a system where parents aren't really allowed in the main daycare area except on rare occasions. At first I was skeptical about this, but having experienced it the other way at her new daycare, I think it's actually wise. After a short-lived adjustment period (my daughter's pretty social, so this was only 3 days in her case), she basically never cried again. I would carry her to the front gate, and she would all but LEAP into her teacher's arms, so excited to go play inside. I think it helped that the precedent was clear: if you want to go play with your friends, teachers, and toys inside, you have to say bye to your parents. She often didn't even want to leave school when I came to pick her up; she wanted to stay and watch all the other kids get picked up by their parents. And if she saw her teacher walking home, she would beg me to go over so she could interact with her some more. Anyway, we loved Busy Little Bee, and I'm sure you will, too.

Ms. Irma, the owner, and Ms. Ala, her assistant, are incredible caretakers who truly love what they do. My son started with them right when he turned 12 months and they both guided us through a great process of adapting to their care. I wanted a place that was small and where my son could socialize and learn, after spending his first full year at home with us. We looked for daycares for months and all were either too big for our taste with 20+ kids and lots of teachers or the small ones felt too informal. This place is a great size with just up to 7 kids that start from ages 1 year until they are ready for school. They have a classroom where they learn, have activities, nap, and also an outside area where they play. Irma and Ala keep it very clean, no one can come into the space (you are greeted at the outside gate due to health protocols) they are mindful of hygiene and make sure everyone is healthy, which is important when you are dealing with kiddos. Communication is key, and Irma sends constant texts and keeps you informed as the day progresses with the cutest pictures of the kids in their activities that range from painting or playdough, or even cooking (safely, of course). I have seen my son flourish in their care and loved that they have different ages as my baby has learned so much from the older kids as well. Every day he comes home with a new word or skill and is so happy and full of energy (and clean!) Their approach is very loving and caring, my son loves to go and gets excited as we head out every morning saying his little friends' names. You can expect home-style breakfast & lunch as well as snacks, they keep a schedule so you know what to expect as far as food + naps but are open for pickup any time as long as you don't interrupt activities. The daycare is open from 8:00-5:30 pm. We've loved having them be part of our story and our family.

I'm beyond grateful to Natalie, the owner of the facility and all the amazing teachers , that didn't just take great care and gave outstanding education to my baby girl, they gave her and all the kids so much of nurturing and love. Everyday was a new day, with new exciting projects and ideas that my girl so happy to share with me after school. The delicious and healthy meals she had at Kapitoshka were such an icing on the cake. I can go on and on , I'll just say this : I know that it is very difficult to find a great daycare for your prechild that would be outstanding in every aspect, without any doubts I say , Kapitoshka is that Daycare!!! From the very bottom of my heart, thank you Natalie and all your wonderful staff for being second home for my Nola, you know how much she doesn't want to go ) you will always be family to us

I am so happy with this childcare! First of all - there are great educational activities- like…read morecircle time, English /Russian Language classes and Math). Second - There are great arts and crafts activities- music, painting,drawing, paper toys making etc. The owner Natalie is a very creative young lady with tons of energy to take care of my son in his "terrible two's" mode. My son has been going here for 8 months and we already had 4 great events( Fall celebration, Christmas, Easter and Mothers day ) and being 2.5 years old he performed singing , dancing and reciting poems- each time Natalie trained him to do new things! Amazing! This is a great tradition take from a Russian Childcare system to involve every child in performing arts starting from the early childhood. The house and yard are nicely equipped with a lot of toys and castles. And the most important thing- a balanced diet based on ORGANIC FOOD which is cooked fresh on a daily basis. Where can you find THIS luxury for your kids these days??? I am SO happy with that being an Organic food fan after I learned about all those GMO etc. There are 5 (!!!) meals per day here ,each is different from another( not like constant the same snacks in American child cares). They cook HOT soups every day as a part of 3 courses lunch(!!!) .She serves kids buckwheat, borshch and lentils from time to time and they eat that ! Natalie made my son eat many vegetables and fruits he never wanted to try at home. I can go on and on and on, but to make it short - Natalie took the best part of Russian Child care experience( food traditions, performing arts, discipline) and made it blossoming here in Los Angeles, In San Fernando Valley helping also our children to be bilingual which is a great added value.

I was referred to iPlay iLearn from a very reputable daycare in the area. I had been looking for a…read moredaycare a bit last minute and the place I originally wanted to take my daughter to only accepted children ages 1 year and up. The owner of the other really awesome daycare recommended that I send my daughter to iPlay iLearn for 6 months until my 6 month old would be old enough to attend there. She told me that she even sent her own child to iPlay iLearn. At first, I was a little apprehensive because I had originally considered institutional daycares like Bright Horizons (my work is next to it in Santa Monica, although I live in the valley). I saw all the bells and whistles at BH and thought I NEEDED all the techy amenities. The apps, access to cameras, long weekly reports, etc. But as I was in a sort of bind due to an unrelated situation, I decided to give the whole home daycare thing a try. BEST. DECISION. EVER! At least.... with iPlay iLearn. My daughter attended iPiL from the age of 6 months to a couple of months over the age of 2 years. As indicated above, I had originally only planned on sending my daughter here for 6 months until she turned 1 so that she could then change to the other school. I even submitted a non-refundable deposit at the other place. But after 6 months with Gohar at iPiL, I knew that there was no way I was going to leave. Gohar and her team at iPlay iLearn (Naira, Kristine, Liana) have such dedication to the children. They are authentic, genuine, and warm. My experience when interviewing other daycares was that the "main" teach (typically the business owner) would be great, but you could see a clear gap between the knowledge and care that they bring to the table and the staff that work for them. But not at iPiL. All the staff are so attentive and the children love and feel so safe and secure there. My daughter's dad and I divorced when she just turned 1 years of age and it was very traumatic for her. During this tough time, Gohar and her team were the one very stable and consistent thing in her life and honestly, we could not made it through the life change as well as we did if it weren't for Gohar. She and her team were told what was going on and they provided extra care, love, support for not only my daughter but for me as well. They went over and beyond what would be expected of them and helped my daughter get through this hard time. I can never ever express enough gratitude for their genuine love and care for my daughter. Ok, back to not so somber stuff! A detail that I love about iPiL is that they serve a lot of Armenien food for lunch! My daughter is Korean-American and I love that she loves Armenien food now. Whether it's borscht or other dishes (sorry Gohar, I totally forget the names), my daughter is hooked! I would say that lunches are Armenien and snacks are generally American. I love that Gohar is committed to keeping up to date with the latest in early age education and she is also closely connected to, gosh I forget the school but I think it's CSUN. She also takes on a student per year as an apprentice/intern, which I love. She is ambitious and honestly intrinsically motivated to be the best teacher she can be for the kids. My daughter no longer attends iPiL for an unrelated reason and it was so hard when we had to leave. Even now, over 4 months later, my daughter casually mentions the name of the entire staff and her friends at iPiL in passing. I still stop by iPiL to drop off coffee to the entire team (I used to buy them coffee every week) every month or so just to catch up and to fill my cup with their warmth and care. Gah, I just love Gohar and her team so much. I have referred her daycare to any and everyone I know who live in the area. If you're open to a home daycare, then this is it. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me on Yelp. I am always happy to help!
