It was exactly what we hoped for; warm, caring, nurturing, and safe. His incredible teachers, Adela and Yolanda, treat him like the tiny, complex human that he is and are truly invested in helping him become the most kind, curious, patient, confident person he can be. It's a place run by people who are very good at what they do and who care deeply about what they do and I can't recommend it highly enough!

There are about 12-13 kids in his class and somehow each drop off and pick up feels personal to us. The teachers are so focused on each child's individual needs and we feel very supported as a new family at LILA.

As a parent of a 1st grader who started last year in Kinder at the LF campus, we could not be…read morehappier with LILA and my daughter's experience. It was our first choice, and the last few months of her enrollment have only reinforced our decision to enroll her. I was familiar with the rigors of the French academic system as well as the IB program, and this was something we really wanted for our child. It's a very different and richer experience than most American schools. "Diversity" has become narrowly defined. But the international diversity of the students' families is unmatched at other SoCal schools. Yes, many French and Western European family's, as might be expected. But we have families in our class from Asia, Africa and the Middle East, for example. My five year old is already correcting my French (which is admittedly terrible!) and she loves the school and it's the emphasis on language and expression. The teachers are patient and supportive and providing a good balance between structure and flexibility.

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.

Camelot rents out for parties on weekends, and from what I understand, the base fee is pretty reasonable, and you can add on from a whole menu of entertainment options. We went for a 5th birthday and it was a pretty ideal venue, with tons of space, all of it outdoors. There was a covered area with tables for food and drink and cake time, as well as a huge playground with lots of equipment. I tend to judge kid party venues by how little I have to watch my own kid, and this one was top tier, safe and confined. Well, except for the train ride, which felt kind of wild, but was also my son's favorite part of the party. I guess Camelot works with a company that brings a mini-train for parties, and the kids went nuts for it. I stood in the parking lot watching that train loop around for a full hour, swerving and doing donuts to make the children giggle and scream and occasionally break out in tears. My son rode it something like ten times. He spent the rest of the time running around the playground, with brief, emotional interludes for cake and piñata (he was absolutely terrible at picking up piñata candy, just the slowest little guy, with my genes imprisoning his whole body). We stayed for three hours, and he did not want to leave. I don't know how Camelot Kids is as a pre-school (though if you have any appetite for gossip, you will not be sorry to read this: https://www.jezebel.com/the-story-and-nightmare-emails-behind-one-elite-silver-1741632103), but we were happy to visit for an afternoon. If you're looking to host a party for small children, it's definitely worth checking out.

We love Blooming Child Family Day Care and highly recommend it!…read more Our son started at Blooming Child when he was 18 months old. We were nervous at first but Zepyur immediately put us at ease with her warmth and openness. He is showered with love everyday by Zepyur, Marine, Mariam, and Andy, and he naps really well at his daycare so when we pick him up he's always in a happy mood. He used to be shy but since he started at Blooming Child we noticed he's a lot more comfortable around people. His social skills definitely improved from playing with the other kids. Zepyur and Marine sing and read to the kids a lot so our son's vocabulary improved and he has started learning the numbers and the alphabet. The daycare is at Zepyur and Andy's home so it's clean and safe and they take really good care of their facilities. If you're considering sending your baby to daycare, we highly recommend Blooming Child. Zepyur and Marine are like loving aunties and your baby will be in good hands!

Our daughter is thriving and we see every day how this loving community has contributed to her growth and development. The school has two beautiful classrooms with large glass windows/doors and a serene courtyard. One parent on Yelp commented about uneven pavement and I'm not sure I understand that. The space is perfectly safe (as well as clean and beautiful) for children to run around--I certainly wouldn't have sent my 2-year-old daughter to the school if I had any concerns. The teachers are extremely engaged and loving and I've watched them on a daily basis help kids to learn how to communicate and resolve conflict. Overall, the school is an absolute gem and I am so glad that we became part of this wonderful community. Our family is forever grateful for the marvelous work by Sakina, Vanessa, Michelle, and Romaline.
