What a gem of a preschool! So glad we found this school in 2015 and are sad we are wrapping up our…read moretime there. Ms. Josie, the director, has made such thoughtful and important changes to the school's facility to make it a safe, nurturing and engaging place for children. Many of her staff have worked there for years and their kindness and dedication to the children is so apparent. My children know they are loved. There is so much play space (indoor and out) and never a shortage of activities. From the garden yard to the bike yard to the playground to the reading nooks - there is always something to discover, lessons to learn and joy to find. My children learned so many important social skills - they've become confident and independent and remind me to eat my healthy food first (a saying during lunchtime at SJP). We are not Lutheran but appreciated that they teach love and acceptance and to celebrate differences. The classes are small, this is not a giant, impersonal daycare. We bonded with many of the families and feel like we're part of a true community. Tuition is reasonable and the hours are IDEAL for working parents.

Another great / successful year comes to a close with El Segundo Preschool. We moved to EL Segundo…read morebecause we wanted our kids in El Segundo School District. Little did we know that this day care center would live up to and exceed our expectations for "El Segundo standards." Our son just finished three years there (2 - 5) and is ready for kindergarten. Our 9 year old daughter went there from 2005 - 2007 and the quality and care from when she went there to the time when our son went there has stayed at the same high level it always has been. In fact our 4th daughter is still welcomed back and loved each time she comes in with us. Our kids were taught manners and preparation for kindergarten. Their yearly plan is well thought out and they keep the kids active all year long. We are going to miss El Segundo Preschool, but I am sure we will have to make many "pop-in" visits so that the kids can see their favorite teachers like Ms Patty who has been the director since before our daughter went there. Ms Kayleigh is a new teacher for the 4-5 year olds and our son fell in love with her. Ms Selena was always there and loved since she was helping change our son's diapers 3 years ago. Ms Ashlyn and Ms Maria were never direct teachers for our son, but whenever they are in charge of his class for a day or even part of it, our son is running up to give them hugs hello and goodbye. It's definitely a family environment where the kids care for their teachers and each other and their teachers truly care for them. We will miss them and I wish them continued success. El Segundo Preschool was the best introduction we could have had into this community about 7 years ago.

We've had two nieces graduate from Vistamar and our daughter is currently a junior. We have been…read morethrilled with the experience that all three kids have had at the school. The school has an excellent academic program. The curriculum was carefully researched and designed based on best-of-breed programs from private high schools and universities across the country. Classes are rigorous and the faculty is knowledgeable and very focused on the learning environment. We've observed how our daughter has quickly become comfortable seeking out her teachers when she has questions, attending office hours, and becoming a strong self-advocate. Great skills to have for both college and life. One of the most amazing things about the school is the strong culture that Vistamar has created. While the pressure of academics is part of the experience, much of it is neutralized by the strong sense of community and support across both faculty and students. It's an environment that has been really beneficial to our daughter, because it's one that encourages kids to take risks and try new things. She's discovered areas of passion that she may never have found had she not been at Vistamar. Again, something that we want our kids to find at this age so that they can have it for the rest of their lives. The school also does an excellent job bringing students together from different backgrounds and points of view and, through the culture they've created, enable them to build relationships and work together. Group learning and group activities are a big part of the learning culture which help develop skills that will last a long time. The actual school building can be a bit surprising when you look at it from the outside. It's much more of the converted-warehouse-tech-company sort of look than the green-campus-boarding-school. But step inside and watch how the kids work and interact with the environment. It's designed in a way where students and faculty are constantly interacting and creates a comfortable environment where you will often see students lingering well into the evening.

I have two daughters, one who chose to attend Vistamar School. It was the best decision we made…read morefor her. (My other daughter attended a different high school that was the perfect fit for her.) Vistamar is a unique and special school. Its most important characteristic is their intentionality. They have carefully thought through each part of a high school and made intentional choices to build a different and excellent small high school that allows each child to bring their individuality to school every day. The intentionality comes up in both large (why they offer Spanish and Chinese in their language program and require students to pass an oral proficiency language exam in order to graduate) and small (the temperature in the building) ways. You will not find a more enthusiastic and dedicated faculty. Their math program is incredibly strong that is joyfully brought to life by amazing teachers. Their high-level Humanities curriculum requires engagement with great and challenging literature like The Odyssey. My daughter, who wants to be a doctor, has taken advantage of the robust science offerings. All of this is wrapped by two key principals: (a) small class sizes that allow the faculty to know your student and (b) the idea that "there are no spectators" in learning. Your students will be challenged and engaged. As for extracurricular activities, this small school has a number of great opportunities for students. On their sports program, you are not going to have Friday Night Lights football. But what I appreciate about their program is that students are encouraged to try new activities. They have a "no cut" policy when it comes to sports. Their program is built to inspire students to build good, long-term, healthy lifestyle habits and find opportunities to go outside their comfort zone, as well as make new friends. On college prep, the school has built a system that prepares students to be successful in college, while not making the students feel pressurized by the college application process. The school does not want to have students focus their entire high school time on getting into college. The counseling team works closely with each student to ensure that they get into the college that is the best fit for them. As someone who has worked in education for most of my career and as someone who has seen the joy in my daughter's eyes when she talks about her school, I cannot recommend this excellent and innovative high school strongly enough.

Our daughter is already involved in a lot of activities yet we wanted to supplement her learning with additional tutoring without having additional learning assignments -- Sylvan Learning fits the bill. 1. Our daughter looks SUPER FORWARD to going each and every week. The positive reward system they use is excellent. 2. The atmosphere is very positive - the teachers are kind and friendly. 3. There is NO outside homework - very big plus for us not wanting to add an additional burden of more homework. 4. The administrative staff are super helpful, and meet with us monthly to go over our daughter's progress and learning goals in great detail. 5. This program is evidence based, and they use solid metrics to define progress and set new and measurable leaning goals. In sum, if you are looking for convenient tutoring to help fill in learning gaps or supplement your child's academic achievement, I would highly recommend Sylvan Learning!!
