Some students that play instruments can share their joy of music. This school also has a farm with many different farm animals. Excellent school!!!

Also the people who work in the office are not very nice. The lady in the office is rude and she has been for the last two years no "hi how are you what can I help you with" and the new guy was nice at the start of the year but she must have rubbed off on him. I literally dread going in there to get my child early for therapy. It's one of the main reasons we are switching to a different school new year. The principal also called me to ask about absences. Of course when my child is sick they don't go to school. However the principal said oh they can still come they just have to wear a mask. Hmmmm maybe if people kept the kids home when they were sick so maybe kids wouldn't be out sick.

The school in my district isn't a good school at all. So I had no choice but to look elsewhere. When I came across Carlos Santana, I had to take advantage since they do take students on an application basis. So glad I chose this school! The teachers and staff here are amazing. They're very involved. And on top of communication. The principal is also another sweetheart. She's very helpful and genuinely wants the best for her students. They are very helpful with the parents in regard to providing communities resources for those in need. I do wish they had a PTA so parents can be much more involved. But they don't. That's the only thing I don't like. Other than that, school is great!

That's FREE preschool for those of you who are new to LAUSD acronyms. Here is a message from the school about their program... Dual Language Immersion is a unique educational model where children learn to think, read, write and communicate naturally in two languages: English and Spanish. Native Spanish and native English speaking students study together, beginning in kindergarten through 5th grade to be biliterate in both languages. Let your neighbors and friends know of this opportunity! We still have a few spots left in our amazing ETK, TK and kinder Dual Language classes for the 2022-23 school year. Stop by the office and pick up an enrollment packet!

Updated review: 2024…read more The infant care is very good. The teachers at infant care are very kind and great at what they do. So if you have a kid 18 months and younger, youll get great teachers. Now for the cons. They have cancelled quite a bit because the lack of teachers. This week they cancelled a week because their teachers got sick. Which leads me to why I pulled my kid out of the school. When a week was cancelled, which is a huge inconvenience to working parents, I had a convo with Michele who is the director there. I suggested that they get back up teachers so that they can provide the services we pay for. There was no raising of voices or foul language. She disagreed saying that the environment wasnt safe and insinuated that I was putting my son in danger. She was dismissive and didnt care that she was making parents pay for extra care and didnt even offer anything or apologize. So i cut the convo off saying it wasnt productive and that our son was changing school next month anyways. She then emailed me and my wife informing that i was rude and that she would be kicking my son out of their school unless I wrote an apology. What a power trip. So we pulled him out because i didnt feel safe sending my kid to a place where the person in charge has this mindset.
