It's exactly what you hope for when you leave your child somewhere. My son started at 10 months, and has flourished under their care. Not only is he healthy and beyond happy to be there (his face lights up when he gets there and he loves to knock on the door) but we've noticed how much he's learned over the past 7 months -- he's always coming home with new words, new songs, and new skills. We love Colasanti Family Child Care and are so grateful for the peace and joy they have brought to our family!

I love that they keep it small and give so much attention to each kid, teaching them so much and nurturing their interests. My son learned his ABCs, songs, how to count, manners, potty training, art, and so much more. We also loved the community of parents and kids that we met along the way. We are so devastated to leave Colasanti for preschool but we're so grateful to have had this safe space for my son to grow, learn and be loved while so little.

Angie and her team are incredible -- it's clear how much they genuinely care for the kids. Every teacher on the team is warm, loving, and patient. Communication was always great, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Angie is always quick to respond to questions, and we really appreciated how easy she made the initial transition to daycare feel. We felt really confident in her and her team from our first day. The facility itself has a lot of space for the kids to play outside and explore, and our son always had a great time. It was often hard to convince him to come down from the slide to go home at the end of the day. We're so grateful to Angie and the whole team for creating a wonderful place for our son. We were very sad to leave when we moved out of town.

My youngest child attended Ms. Monica's school for one year, nearly four years ago. As a pandemic…read moretoddler, she had limited social interaction during those crucial early years and was extremely shy when she first started at Green Family Care. However, thanks to Ms. Monica's nurturing environment, along with the consistent structure and routine she provided, my child's confidence grew tremendously. We were always delighted by the beautiful artwork and projects she brought home. The school also has a wonderful vegetable garden where the children learn about the plant life cycle and get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. The space itself is warm, cozy, and filled with so much love--every area is thoughtfully and intentionally designed for the children. We truly miss Ms. Monica!

Our older daughter started around 1 year old, and our youngest began at just 5.5 months. From day one, we've had a wonderful experience. I'm a very schedule-oriented parent, and I truly appreciated how willing Erika was to follow my children's individual routines and needs rather than making them fit into a preset schedule. Through every transition -- from adjusting nap times to introducing solids to transitioning from breastmilk to formula -- Erika was always happy to implement my requests and made the process smooth for our family. She has also been incredibly flexible with us. We only send our daughters part-time, but whenever we needed an extra day, Erika always did her best to accommodate. It's clear that she genuinely cares for and loves the children. You can see it in the way the kids respond to her, in how many of her little ones stay with her from babyhood onward, and in how many families trust her with multiple children. Sending your children to daycare is a big decision, but for our family it has been such a positive and supportive environment. We feel very lucky to have found it!

They helped him adjust to a better nap schedule too. He's now just over 2 and we have so many amazing memories there-from birthday and holiday pajama celebrations to music classes to watching butterflies transform, it truly is a special place! We loved how nurturing and caring everyone at Pages was. They treated our son like their own and it really felt like an extended family. They're also very detail oriented, always communicating with us to make sure we were on the same page about schedules, behavior or even if there were tiny bumps and scrapes. When our kid inevitably got sick, they would send texts checking in or would be available to talk on the phone even in off hours. We recently moved and are at a new center across the country, and we are now especially grateful for the high adult/child ratio at Pages and the healthy and fresh meals they provided. Honestly, pulling our son out was one of the hardest parts of our move and he still talks about his friends and teachers there. If you're lucky enough to grab a spot there you won't regret it!

There are always at least 2 teachers and they develop a bond with the children. The outdoor facility is stunning and they do activities like water play in the summer. The inside facilities have the right balance of not being a large daycare center, and not being too small. Pickup and drop off are very easy, they are organized and have their holiday schedule in advance (better schedule than most and no closures if someone's sick, since there is ample staff). I highly recommend!

Maria, Ana and Marisol are incredible teachers, I love being able to watch circle time and day time activities via the day care's social media page. The backyard is the best feature - there is grass, flowers and beautiful greenery. During Covid they have been very safe, making sure the kids are masked up (if they are over 2) and frequently washing their hands. They make delicious food for the kids, all home cooked! Another major plus is their bilingual (English/Spanish) program, our daughter's first work was "agua" for water!

It's a full Spanish immersion program and they have very flexible options. We opted for full time M-F 8-5:30pm. Maria and her entire team are amazing: communication is clear and prompt, teachers are engaged and caring, and the school is clean, safe, and offers wonderful enrichment activities like soccer, capoeira, and music. We always feel listened to, and the teachers send updates throughout the day. One of my favorite parts of the workday is getting the cutest photos and videos of her and her friends engaged in all sorts of activities like outdoor play or reading books. The biggest testament to the program is our daughter herself. Now 18 months old, she's excited to go to school every morning, happily jumping from my lap into her teachers' arms, and she's calm and happy when we pick her up. Teacher Gabby V. has been incredibly caring and thoughtful. We feel so lucky to have had her help care for our daughter over the past 14 months. She consistently goes out of her way to provide thoughtful, individualized care, whether that means adjusting nap schedules or giving a little extra attention when needed. We couldn't recommend MFP more highly!

Being a first time mom, I was nervous to let go and have someone else take care of my daughter. But as I watched her start to get accustomed to the schedule there, I noticed how the staff is educated and friendly. It was emotional for me to watch her learn to be independent at MFP and Maria and Cinthia were very accommodating to helping my daughter transition from homecare to daycare. There's plenty of extracurricular activities dancing, music, soccer, including all the planned crafts to keep her engaged. I always found that they updated ProCare with plenty of updates and pictures to keep me informed of her daily activities. Cinthia, Teacher Karen, Teacher Veronica, Zohra are just some of the friendliest faces who helped take care of her. I also witnessed a very smooth transition between classrooms from the Cherry Room to Olive Room. Cinthia was always available to chat through any of my questions and provided input to best support her. We were so sad to have to leave MFP but primarily did so because of moving (needing to reduce the daycare pickup commute). What was also so sweet was how thoughtful they were to provide her a wonderful experience for both her first birthday at school and her last day. I would recommend MFP!

Elizabeth is certified in early education, is highly energetic and engaged with the children's learning and well being.

They invest a ton in activities for children - we did field trips to NHM, Science center etc . They learnt dance , had career days where parents came in and spoke about their work and so much more. They stock plenty of educational toys and such, and keep refreshing the toys and equipment. Her staff is well trained, CPR certified and most importantly very loving towards the kids. You will become part of a family here. My children still ask to go visit their daycare especially for the Halloween and Christmas parties .

Update (10/2023): In retaliation for my negative review, the co-founder of this business posted…read morephotos of our registration info that showed our infant son's full name and birthdate without our consent (Yelp thankfully took them down). They also posted images showing my and my wife's full names and our phone numbers and email addresses. I'm shocked they would commit a potential crime out of petulance. Posting our family's private information is a possible misdemeanor under California Penal Code § 653.2 PC (posting harmful information on the internet). They must be in financial trouble to go such egregious means and keep our deposit of slightly over $1,000; and not think about the loss of potential clients from our negative online reviews and how we've told several new parents in west Los Angeles to not even consider this child care provider because of our very poor experience. Again, avoid this place like the plague!

This review is long overdue, but better late than never…read more Due to the pandemic, we were hesitant about starting our daughter in school, but when the time came to enrolled we decided to do our research. We looked into and toured a number of schools around the area. Many were beautiful, with gorgeous classrooms, facilities, and supplies. However, not one of these schools asked about our daughter, her interests, or her progression up to that point. It was extremely off-putting, and felt akin to someone selling us a car; very cold and robotic. When we went to tour Dreamland we were met by Anna, who was incredibly personable and informative. She showed us around and began asking about our daughter. She inquired about her social progress, as well as how far along she was in other subjects. They literally were the only school who actually showed in interest in our daughter rather than our wallet! We were invited back to tour with our daughter, who instantly took to the school as well as the teachers and instructors. It's not the flashiest school, but never judge a book by it's cover. They are open 7:30-5:30 (which is incredible for a working family) and feed the children a breakfast snack and lunch. Tuition is beyond reasonable, especially for everything they provide. We have just concluded Pre-K and will be moving on, but what Dreamland has given to us and our family is immeasurable. We were incredibly lucky to find such a wonderful school, who cares not only about education but the children in general (when we moved to the valley last year we kept our daughter in Dreamland and commuted. That's how amazing this school is!). Everyone was like family. We've made friendships that will endure, and we are indebted to Anna, Yev, Ms. Leticia, Ms. Norma, Ms, Fari, and all of the other wonderful people that make up Dreamland. THANK YOU! We are sad to go, but they've build an incredible educational foundation that we are excited to encourage. I could go on and on about how fabulous this school is, but I encourage you to see for yourself. You will not be disappointed!
