    I've been bringing my kids here for 3 years now and we love it here! I did so much research before choosing this place, and must have seen 8-9 other day cares. The minute I had a tour with Maria, I knew this was the place for us! She was so welcoming and reassured me that I wouldn't be bugging if I asked for pictures and updates all day (I was more nervous than my kids were)! One of the things that drew me to this school is that they have an app where they send updates and pictures of your child! They celebrate and recognize all cultures here, they have adorable performances, picture days, activities, cooking, art, ballet and soccer that you can sign up for and so much more. Shazna and the teachers here are all so nurturing and great! I was so relieved after the first week when my daughter said "I love Ms. Jessica" She has learned to write her name and she's also learning Spanish! We're so grateful for Little Learners!!

    Little Learner's Academy is a really great daycare/preschool!! Highly highly recommend them they offer great hours for working parents, reasonable price, nice teachers, fully staffed, great cultural, learning and development activities!! After having a great conversation with Ms.Maria (3yearoldclass) and going for a visit I immediately got good vibes!! Especially when I was searching to find a great preschool near by. My son has been here for 2 years now and he loves this school!! From the Director Ms. Shanza knows my son's name and they really makes us feel apart of the little learners family! They do so many different activities with the kids and even had a Halloween and Christmas performance and my son Loved It All!

    The kids made frozen yogurt cereal dipped bananas for snacks

    Best DAYCARE/PRESCHOOL EVER! Look no further! This school has been a God send to my family. We are so grateful for Shazna and all my daughter's past teachers like Ms. Maria (Na Na), Ms. Fatima, Ms. Shaleah, Ms. Heshu, Miss Shumaila, Miss Itzel, and especially Ms. Maria. I was extremely skeptical when I first enrolled my daughter into school here back in January of 2021 since I had a bad experience in chatting with another school. Everything seemed too good to be true, but I'm telling you this school is the REAL deal! The pricing is extremely reasonable especially for the level of care my child is shown. Breakfast is even included in the pricing. My daughter has absolutely loved everyone of her teachers she has had throughout her time being at the school. She is thriving and learning. Each week or day it seems like the teachers/school plan well thoughtful, engaging, educational, fun activities for the kids. Other things I love about this school include the following: -They will actually help assist in the potty training experience which most preschools won't do. -The teachers use the bright horizons app to update you with pictures/videos on how your child is doing at school which I absolutely love and look forward to. -They were extremely cautious during covid times and even now with not having the parents come into the building when they drop off or pick up the kids during school hours. This makes me feel better as parent that the front door isn't just left unlocked for anyone to just walk in. -The long hours they are open. My husband and I work full time so it's been amazing to find a preschool of such high quality that will take care of my kid from 7am-6pm if need be. -My daughters speech and tracing/writing skills have improved exponentially since having enrolled in school. -There is always room for communication between the school and parents about up coming things but Shazna has a very nice balance in communicating with the parents about any pertinent info such as if they notice your child may be ready to move up in a class or if they are doing well with potty training etc. Thank you Littler Learners for taking such great care of my daughter :)

    My 2 year old went through an amazing transformation after going to Little Learner's. We will always be grateful for the loving, understanding and caring teachers and wonderful experience they give to nourish the development of each child. Totally recommend Can't stop from mentioning how genuine Miss Shazna is and how patient and loving Miss Jessica is. I have never seen Miss Jessica without a smile and always will applaud the unmatchable patience and warmth she has shown to my daughter. Miss Fatima, always used to greet us with the friendliest greetings and make sure my child felt safe and loved. Also, they give you real time update on how your child's day is progressing and help with potty training too. If we didn't move away from Northridge, my girl would definitely be still attending Little Learner's. They care, love and nourish the growth of your child with a promise of commitment!

    This was my daughters first daycare/preschool that she has attended and this is an amazing school! They hold so many activities such as dance, hands on activities , science ect. During the summer they had SO many activities and I love that the teachers send us photos of what our children are doing that day! The teachers and staff are amazing with communicating with us parents . My daughter LOVES this school!! She gets so excited in the mornings she literally RUNS in! She just can't wait to go! Her teacher, Ms.Maria, has been amazing! They also help with potty training and they communicate via an app(which is great!!) There prices are very reasonable considering ALL the activities they have to offer. You can really tell that they care for all the kids! I would HIGHLY recommend this school!

    We are incredibly lucky to find this gem. My 4Y son has been with them for 2+ years. The school has taught him so much (ie. potty train, write, social skills). They also do a lot of fun activities throughout the year, have different classes (dance/music class), and teach/celebrate cultural holidays (we don't celebrate Diwali but now looks forward to it!). He always talks about his friends, activity he did for the day, and love his teachers (Mr. B, Ms. Marias, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Itzel, Ms. Dalia, and Ms. Chathu). We are extremely grateful for the director, Ms. Shazna, and Fathima, which has become like a mother to us. Thank you for molding our son

    My kids started attending Little Learners Academy since February 2021 and all I can say is I wish I would have found them sooner. My 2 year old son is in Mrs. Jessica's and Mrs. Maria's class. When he started attending he only knew a few words, but within 1-2 months of attending the academy he learned a lot more words as well as his ABCs, colors, numbers and shapes. My 6 year old daughter is in Mrs. Chathu's and Ms. Afroza's class and she loves it. Everyday is filled with new and exciting activities for the kids. Mrs. Shazna who is the director is beyond wonderful. She has an amazing communication with the parents and keeps you updated with photos of what the kids are doing. If you're looking for a place to send your kids, I would whole heartedly recommend this place. The whole staff is great, they make you feel like family and take such great care of the kids.

As a first time mom I toured…read more11 daycares and interviewed 6 nannies in the area and ultimately decided to send my 5 month old to LAG with zero regrets. The teachers in the infant room were some of the most warm, welcoming, and wonderful women I know. I genuinely felt like they loved my daughter and knowing she was in such caring hands every day meant so much to me. When picking a daycare you can go somewhere that is simply just going to keep your child's needs met, or you can go somewhere that your child can actually grow. The latter is LAG. There were specific times for activities, music class, snack time, outside time, etc. Even at a young age I noticed the difference in my daughter after her being at LAG. The facility itself is so well-kept. The classrooms are clean, not overwhelming with too many toys or screens or colors, and they have a beautiful outdoor area as well. We unfortunately had to withdraw our daughter from LAG recently because we are relocating to a new area and trust me when I say it was the hardest and saddest decision to make. LAG is such a special place and we feel so lucky our daughter got to attend here.

At first, I thought the parking lot was plain, but as soon as I stepped inside, it was a whole different world! Definetly worth to visit on a tour. I absolutely loved the play yard. They have two main outdoor areas: one for the little kids and another for the older ones. Plus, they have a garden where they plant vegetables and strawberries, and there's plenty of shade everywhere. It's truly a lovely space. The outdoor play area immediately made me feel happy, and I knew this was the place I wanted my kids to be. My daughter attended from ages 2 to 4, and now my son has started at 2 years old. LAC also has an infant center, which looks wonderful! I seen parents taking off their shoes in the infant center, keeping it extra clean! Last year, they did a bunch of new updates in all classrooms and bathrooms. The classrooms are nice and well-maintained. I especially loved Ms. Priscilla, Ms. Joan, and Mrs. Shannon. And if you need anything, ask for Leilany in the office, she's super nice and always helpful. I highly recommend Little Acorns Grow to any parent looking for a nice, clean, beautiful and outdoorsy daycare!

She shows new skills and knowledge every day and I'm 100% sure it's because of ATU. At drop off, she reaches for her teachers. At pick up, she is happily playing!

They are such lovely people and so great to collaborate with. Dr. September and Ms. Mariah run an amazing program. We love that they are in the rooms, playing and caring for the kids as well. The other teachers are friendly and always say hi. - Communication is easy and pleasant. - The app with updates and pictures are a godsend to anxious first time parents like us. - They have cute holiday celebrations and send home heart warming art projects made by the kids. - Periodic parent teacher conferences about your child's development and milestones. As a teacher and first time mom , I'm truly impressed in these meetings. I learn so much about my child and their growth, but also get to experience all the expertise ATU's staff have. These meetings reassures us that we made the right decision to go with ATU. Thank you, Apple Tree!

I even got the chance to volunteer to do a music class for the kids over Summer, which I really enjoyed. AAKP also made upgrades to the playground area to smooth out the ground, making it much safer.

If you're looking for "play based learning," the teachers and owner are the golden standard for this approach (and if you're not familiar you must get familiar and find a play based environment for your kiddo-I have lots of thoughts on this).

The school's approach is empathetic so that even the littlest children feel seen, heard, and understood. The teachers model and foster social-emotional skills skillfully, so that the kiddos become considerate but effective self-advocates and negotiators, establishing the building blocks for identifying their own emotions and needs and working through conflict. The teachers are gentle and caring. You feel totally confident leaving your child under their guidance, knowing they will be treated with respect and kindness. The teachers and director also become your genuine partners along the journey of raising your child. Through coffee hour chats, expert talks, knowledgeable resource recommendations, and one-on-one conversations they can help troubleshoot any parenting challenges you are working through. For myself and some alumni parent friends of mine, the school has been such a trusted guiding light that "Caterpillar" has become a verb. If you're not sure how to deal with a child situation, you ask yourself, "How can I Caterpillar this?" What would (lead teacher) Andrea say or do? All this is on top of the other good stuff of pre-school they provide: arts exploration, outdoor play, stories and gardening and science experiments and a lovely community of parents and friends. Highest recommendation!

The food is fantastic too -- my daughter made sure to remind me daily that she only liked Petite's food, not mine!
