More importantly, they are warm and caring and great partners in educating the children. It is truly a magical place for learning and growing. They are not just learning, they are developing as whole, well-rounded people. Bread dough is made every day by the kids so they have freshly baked bread each morning as part of their snack. There is lots of outdoors time on the beautiful wooded playground and there is even a little garden that the children help tend and harvest. Always art projects and group projects going on. It is a great, welcoming and friendly community that I feel so lucky to be able to be a part of!

Gan Malibu Preschool has been an absolute gift for our family. Our daughter started at the infant…read morecenter around 16 months old and is now 4.5 years old, still happily growing, learning, and thriving there. If they offered more years, we would stay forever! Sarah, the director, along with her incredible family and the entire team of teachers, has created a warm, nurturing, and very loving environment that we consider an extension of home. The care they provide is unmatched, my daughter is seen and supported. They also do so much baking and cooking I love it! All the arts and crafts and creative projects - wow ! The nature-based learning approach is magical. The children are always exploring, discovering, and learning in ways that honor their curiosity and connection to the world around them. Anaya has not only blossomed academically and emotionally but has also formed meaningful friendships that we know will last beyond preschool. Gan is more than a school, it's a community, a family. We are endlessly grateful to be part of it.

I could write a novel on my love for Gan Malibu. What a magical place for children to explore,…read moreplay, and grow. The teachers are so kind and warm and there's something so special about this place. My son started at 3 and was previously struggling with drop off at his previous school. He'd just cry hysterically. At Gan Malibu, they encouraged us to do a slower drop off to ensure he was feeling okay and what do you know... drop offs only became easier and easier with time. He knew he was safe there and that his teachers cared for him. We had such a wonderful experience we opted to put our 1 year old daughter at the Gan too instead of keeping her at home with a nanny. We knew she'd thrive and flourish under their care and she did. I unfortunately lost our home in the Palisades Fire and there were only 2 things keeping me in Malibu: proximity to our family and access to the Gan. At one point right after we evacuated we were driving 3 hours round trip to keep the kids at the Gan. It's that special. We ultimately decided it was best for our family to move out of state but we had the hardest time parting with the Gan. Sarah is one of the most compassionate educators you'll find. Her leadership really sets the tone for the school and you can see how much all the teachers love the kids. The gan becomes a home away from home for the children. Teacher Lauren has the patience of a saint and really tries to understand toddlers even when they're being little maniacs. Teacher Jacqui is a baby whisperer and even though my daughter can take a minute to warm up to people, I knew she was obsessed with her from early on. Teacher Imelde is great too and is always so calm and positive. There is so much enrichment happening. They are intentionally recycle and upcycle everything, which I LOVE. They have yoga and gardening and cooking and even beach trips. They overlook the ocean and watch the dolphins play in the water. You won't find a better place for your kids.

The teachers are incredible: warm, thoughtful, deeply experienced, and so genuinely connected to the children. The open, shaded playgrounds are such a gift, giving the kids room to move, play, and be outside comfortably. What makes WHCCNS so special is that it feels like you are leaving your kids with family. There is so much heart, history, and community here. Founded in 1954, WHCCNS is a true legend in the community, and you can feel that legacy in every corner of the school. It is not religious and welcomes families of all faiths and backgrounds. We feel so lucky to be part of this special place.

We absolutely love Woodland Hills Community Church Nursery School. From the moment we walked…read morethrough the doors, it felt like such a warm, welcoming community. The teachers are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely invested in every child. You can tell they truly love what they do. Our son has grown so much during his time here--not just academically, but socially and emotionally. He's become more confident, independent, and excited to learn. Every day he comes home with stories about his friends, the fun activities they did, and the caring teachers who made him feel special. One of the things we appreciate most is their play-based approach. They understand that young children learn best through exploration, creativity, and meaningful relationships. They do such a beautiful job fostering kindness, curiosity, and confidence while still preparing children for what comes next. The parent community is just as wonderful. We've made friendships that extend beyond the classroom, and the school creates so many opportunities for families to connect. It truly feels like a village. Choosing Woodland Hills Community Church Nursery School has been one of the best decisions we've made for our family. We are so grateful for the love, care, and foundation they've given our son, and we recommend it wholeheartedly to any family looking for an exceptional preschool.

She is often singing the lullabies she learns, reciting the stories, and always so very excited to return for more. We live in Las Flores Canyon near the campus and we have watched in amazement and awe as this magical epicenter of love and support has enlivened our local community and been a connecting link in bringing together families with like minded awareness. The teachers and directors are some of the most lovely and heart centered people on the planet. They see our daughter for who she is, and have been an enormous help in guiding her spirit into the most beautiful expression of her instincts and interests. I am very particular about clean food and it's such a relief knowing that they only serve organic food and snacks! They take care to be very respectful of dietary restrictions and the special needs of each unique child- it's such a huge blessing and absolute requirement for me. The teachers have each shared such sacred wisdom with me about each developmental stage, and I continue to learn so much from them. Anytime I have questions they always take the time to help guide me toward more understanding and grace with my child. It really means the world to me to have this beautiful support in this conscious community. One of our deepest desires and highlights of parenthood is providing the absolute best for our children to enable them to flourish and grow in the most harmonious and conscious way possible. During the first parent meeting this year we all sat in a circle and expressed how incredibly grateful we each are that this sacred space still exists in this world, and we all wished that we would have had the opportunity to attend such a delightful school when we were young. It's truly and honor and great privilege to have found this treasure nestled under the ancient oaks and so close to home in so many ways.

I could not say more amazing things about Pali Pres. We are so in love. Julie (the director) and…read moreDiana (the assistant director) are just the best you couldn't ask for a better parent liaisons. They include you in all that your kids are doing and make sure the whole community feels just like that -- a true community---. The teachers are exceptional my daughter asks about her teachers (Ms. Sarah and Ms. Susan) every weekend and talks about them incessantly (which says something as she's only 2 1/2 !! And still working on words in general but she really works hard to make sure we know how she feels about school and her teachers.... excited and so happy! the parents are all so sweet and amazing. The facilities are definitely beyond what is "normal" (and then some...) the "big yard" is ridiculously amazing. If you can't tell, I am sold and sad for the day our family has to say goodbye! Luckily I have another few years to enjoy this experience with my girls, this school is every thing everyone in town told me it would be and so much more!

The owner, Kristy, is exceptional. It is clear that she has had a lot of experience working with kids. She was encouraging and helpful and enthusiastic.

None of them had ever tried aerial arts before, and some were a little nervous about it. But after just a few minutes, Kristy had them upside down and smiling. Each girl absolutely wants to do this again. It was so fun, and a great workout, too. I would recommend this as a team building/bonding activity, birthday party, or even just a fitness class. Wonderful five star experience.
