As a parent, entrusting someone else with the care of your six month old is never easy--but Brella…read morePasadena made that transition smoother than I could have imagined. We sent both of our daughters here starting when they were each just halfway to one, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From day one, the staff was incredibly warm, attentive, and nurturing. They took the time to really get to know our girls--learning their personalities, preferences, and needs--which gave us a sense of comfort and trust that's hard to come by. The caregivers truly felt like partners in our parenting journey. What sets Brella apart is not just the quality of care, but the thoughtfulness of the entire environment. The space is beautiful, bright, and designed with curiosity and safety in mind. The daily activities are engaging and developmentally appropriate, encouraging exploration, creativity, and early social skills. Our girls came home happy, stimulated, and often singing songs we didn't even know they had learned! We also really appreciated Brella's flexible scheduling model. It gave us the ability to adapt to changing work and family needs without compromising on quality care. Communication with the team was always clear and responsive--we felt looped in and supported every step of the way. Now, as our daughters grow, we're continually grateful that their earliest experiences outside the home were filled with such love, learning, and joy. Brella Pasadena truly created a foundation that helped them feel secure, confident, and curious about the world around them. If you're considering early care for your little one, we can't recommend Brella Pasadena enough.

We came on a tour thinking that we would sign up at the end until we were given the price. It is…read moredefinitely not worth nearly $600 a day I have twins so the thought of having to pay upward $10,000-$11,600 a month (if we were to drop them off for 7-8 hours a day), is absurd even just half of that for a single child. It just doesn't make sense to me when there are other daycare's around the area that charges a fraction of that price and offers similar experiences I would note though, the staff was very friendly and I like how there was a person that sung live and played the guitar for the kids.

Our son needed full time care due to our busy schedules working in healthcare and Julia was so wonderful accomodating our schedules.

They have an organized curriculum, access to app for daily updates and healthy meal plans. I have already recommended them to my coworkers!

Brighid was our course instructor, and she was super knowledgable, open and supportive to all types of relationships, birthing plans, and wasn't overly dogmatic by recommending a "one size fits all" approach to this very dynamic process. She was experienced and knowledgeable, answered our questions, gave recommendations, resources, and context, and we could not be happier with the experience. The office was quiet, clean, free from distractions, and the environment was comfortable and inviting. My wife had a few fears/concerns about being a first time mother, but after the class she's feeling much more comfortable now that she's equipped with so much context and information. Overall this was a fantastic experience and anyone who is feeling overwhelmed and is looking for a bit of guidance and support should seek this place out. Thank you Brighid!

I love the RIE approach but I cannot recommend the classes enough. It's one thing to read the literature and another to witness and observe your child in the space. I love Ruth Anne Hammond. She is filled with important information and knowledge. Plus, the babies love her and she loves them. Kira subbed for a class I was in once and she was fantastic as well. The Pasadena facility itself is beautiful. The babies love the trees that line Green St. But any "yes" space would do with RIE. It's the best!

She is always dancing and trying to sing along. I love that she gets an introduction to different instruments and music theory/terms. The teachers are wonderful! We love Miss Tobi and Ms Alana. Miss Avani for sensory art is so sweet! My daughter absolutely loves her. The kids get to bring home an art project at the end of every class, and the sensory bin play is such a plus! I think that Sensory Art is also a good class for older kids as well (3+). My son who is 3.5 did a drop in and also loved it. Street parking at the South Pasadena location can be tricky, but it's not terrible.

Shout to Ms.Armie she is incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. She makes everyone feel comfortable and included, which makes a huge difference. We also really appreciate that while the atmosphere is relaxed and fun, there are still clear based guidelines and structure behind the activities. It's the perfect balance of creativity and learning, and I love that the class encourages exploration while still having a purposeful approach. Overall, it's a wonderful place for hands-on learning and creativity. Highly recommend!

I sincerely thank Kudos, especially Michael, he is a very kind person and gifted coach. I asked my daughter, you have to go to debate class every weekend, do you feel tired? she said "no, I am happy and having fun". I think this is the best and most authentic evaluation from her. Thank you Kudos!

Both our kids have been going to San Marino Chinese after school program as well as Saturday…read moreprogram for many years. Both myself and husband are San Marino school alumni's. It's a shame that the San Marino after school Chinese program has been taken over by this new principal. She is hostile and rude, does not care about the kids or families, and only cares about proving her point. Also there is no longer part time option like before only full time paying option. We don't mind paying for a good program but with this new leadership under this new Chinese school principal, 7 of us families decided to leave the after school program. The previous principal was kind, reasonable , and cared about the students well being and learning and had good communication with parents. This new principal does not care to help resolve any issue or parent concern when we brought it up. She just responds too bad and want us to hear her credentials. Honestly as parents we do not care how high level of education anyone has if they don't care about the people and the kids. That's what matters. She's missing the point. We really hope they can replace this principal.

Unacceptable administration and leadership. Dissatisfied and unresolved. You are required to pay…read morethe full year fee when you enroll your kids to the school at the beginning of the year. This is almost unbelievable and absurd but in desperation to enroll both my kids, I coughed up over a thousand dollar for less than 20 weeks of classes with many holiday weekend. When asked why full year tuition, the reply was it is up to you if you want to enroll your kids. There is basically no POS like a retail business. Just manual receipt. It is no doubt about the price being reasonable if you are enrolled in full year. Not when you start in January but ended up paying from last August. The school should just make adjustment for fee due date, why overcharge the parent for those weeks of classes/service not rendered. It really made people feel uncomfortable paying for the entire year of tuition. Kudos to the teachers and volunteers who are great but not the administrative staffs who are unkind and disrespectful.
