We are fortunate beyond belief to have found this incredible school. It has been the most wonderful launching pad for my little one, setting her up for a healthy, curious, kind, and loving life. I have full confidence as she enters the "big school" (Kindergarten) next week that she will be ready socially AND intellectually thanks to the loving care and attention received from the teachers and leadership at New Generation. I found this school after trying many others in the area. New Generation is both play and academically focused, always clean, and has a GORGEOUS backyard play area (I always say it feels heavenly back there). I'll never ever forget how wonderful it felt to pick my daughter up in such a safe and loving environment every day and have her run across that playground to hug me. The school is not only kid-friendly, but parent friendly. They have always been kind and supportive in a way that parents of preschoolers need... they just get it. The front office empathizes and gives of their time and attention, always making me feel safe and seen. They also throw a great party!! The Fall Festival every year is seriously so much fun - we're still planning to go as a family even after we've left! There are always holiday activities, celebrations, shows, adorable Graduations... everything is just so perfect. Most importantly, the teachers are INCREDIBLE. We had Ms. Claudia, Ms. Laura, and Ms. Favi throughout the years, three of the most lovely women, always with a focus on learning, growth, development, and kindness. The kiddos spend so much time at preschool, it has been very comforting to know it is such a wonderful environment, complete with care and attention from very involved teachers. Ms. Favi, our current teacher, truly looks at her students as if they were her own, and treats them as such. My daughter loves her so, and dreams of being a teacher one day because of how wonderfully Ms. Favi does it. It will be so hard to say goodbye to her, and there will be no shortage of tears (mom included). I highly recommend this school for your sweet little ones. It feels like family, and I will forever be grateful to have found this special home away from home during such formative years.

Now that our boys are in TK and 1st, we are attending their summer camp program which is so fun for the littles, and next year you bet we'll be sending our youngest there to start preschool. :)

It is the perfect place for kids to start to learn and play. When kids have a hard time with drop off they let you stay and make your child comfortable (if that is what you want) they don't push you to do things as they want, they let you make the choices for what is best for you and your child. They are flexible and understanding in a world that isn't always. We couldn't have been happier looking forward to next year when our youngest will start!!

Any family that I've recommended the school to has raved about their experience and many have said they wished they'd found it sooner for their child or older children. The outdoor spaces are extensive, and the addition of music, dance, STEM, and art classes are great additions to kids' days.

BTEE turned out to be a magical place where my son thrived.

I could not recommend BTEE more.

A Preschool That Truly Feels Like Family…read more We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Toluca Playhouse Preschool. Our daughter has been part of this nurturing school for almost three years, and our son joined eight months ago. From the start, it was clear that this isn't just a preschool, it's a place where children are genuinely cared for, encouraged, and loved. The director Gina is warm, thoughtful, and deeply invested in creating a safe, joyful environment where kids can thrive. Trusting someone else to care for your baby is never easy, but the team made the transition feel natural and reassuring for both me and my kids. She provided such great support every step of the way. My children's excitement when it's time to go to school says everything. They absolutely light up, and as a parent, there's nothing more comforting than knowing your kids are happy, learning, and surrounded by people who truly understand and respect them. Miss Mel is also incredible. She has such a calm and loving presence and an amazing ability to connect with toddlers in ways that make them feel heard, understood, and empowered. Both her and Gina's patience, creativity, and kindness have helped my kids grow not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well. Toluca Playhouse has been such a blessing to our family, and I couldn't recommend it more highly to anyone looking for a place where their children will be safe, loved, and encouraged to be their best little selves.

Toluca Playhouse Preschool is truly a hidden gem in this neighborhood. It's not an easy decision to…read moreput your child in the care of others and we toured 9 preschools before we decided on Toluca Playhouse. Ms. Gina and Ms. Mel are so genuinely caring and kind towards the kids. The class size is small and intimate. They are mixed ages which we loved so much because it gives the younger kids the opportunity to learn from the older ones and the older kids an opportunity to lead and teach the younger ones. There is LOTS of outdoor play time, they do tons of crafts and activities inside the classroom, there is yoga and music teachers that come in weekly, and every other week an animal comes to visit! So far our daughter has held or touched a tarantula, a turkey, a snail, parakeets, and more!! Not many places you would get exposure like that. I feel like it's the perfect balance of letting kids be kids and play endlessly but also introducing some structure that comes with traditional school. Our daughter was newly potty trained when she started and they were so careful and attentive to that process too. I can't say enough good things about this preschool, we love it so much. Our daughter loves going and not joking that some days I can't get her in the car during pick-up.

Ms. Isiris is warm, knowledgeable, and extremely passionate about early childhood education. As a teacher, I have been blown away by her program. Each day is filled with STEAM activities, music, yoga, mindfulness lessons, and more, all thoughtfully planned and tailored to the developmental levels and interests of the children. I was nervous to send my daughter to daycare, knowing how many hours of her life would be shaped by that experience, but we have been so lucky to have found a place where she is loved, engaged, and building foundational social and life skills under the guidance of amazing teachers. We love this school!

My son started when he was two years old (2024) and has been attending ever since. At the time, I was a mother of one and very anxious about our son being looked after by anyone other than family. Fortunately, they both did everything to make us feel like family for a seamless transition. It is well rounded program and incorporated into everyday tasks/activities making learning fun, while also practical. Every week is focused on different topics and the themes/events are communicated in advanced. Our son (who has known to be a picky eater from time to time) has tried new foods at daycare which is a major win. The care and attention to the kids and the program are unmatched. They take the time to communicate every part of the program (meals, weekly activities, daily highlights, and my personal favorite: pictures of their day) allowing us to have a conversation with our little one. Thanks to Dream Big Little One, we are confident our son is prepared to enter TK in the Fall. We will not be saying goodbye, more like see you later, as we definitely plan to enroll our baby into the program once, she is old enough.

We are so grateful that we found Burbank Edu-Care preschool. They are a truly amazing preschool…read morewith excellent academic instruction, dedicated and experienced teachers, and a wonderfully supportive, loving environment. The director, Marie, has worked in childcare and preschool/kindergarten education for decades. We toured different preschools and Burbank Edu-Care stood out to us for multiple reasons. It's a small, intimate environment and the premises are beautiful. They have a garden on the preschool/kindergarten grounds and grow fruits & vegetables which they use to prepare healthy, organic lunches for the children. Lunch and potty training are both included in their very reasonable tuition fees. At other schools, lunch was a separate fee and potty training was an additional fee, or you could not enroll your child if they were not potty trained to begin with. The school has an adorable "parking" area where kids can park their tricycles and push cars in front of the school (behind a secure, gated campus). The private, high-fenced gate in front of the school ensures that strangers cannot see the children from the street and that the children are not in danger of street-based traffic. My 3-year-old child loves Ms. Marie and has so much fun learning and playing with the other children. They have plenty of opportunities for art, dance, music, and sound academic fundamentals like phonics, colors, shapes, etc. My child is completely safe at this school. I am also profoundly touched that Marie has taken a very special interest in our older, autistic child and has been so understanding of our unique childcare schedule. You can tell that she truly loves the children. For Ms. Marie, this is not just a job for her or a paycheck-this is her calling and she is uniquely gifted in her ability to connect with and lovingly care for your child. The school is fully licensed, very safe, it's small, intimate, and the kids are cared for with loving attention. Other schools for small children can feel chaotic or like your kid is a number in a larger setting, but that's not the case here. There is so much comfort in knowing that your child has found his or her community and niche. You don't have to worry about all the horror stories of inexperienced caregivers around your small child. TBH-my MIL was hesitant when I told her we would enroll our little one in preschool. She warned me that some kids find it too traumatic, and maybe she's safer at home (given what she's seen on the news, etc.). We are highly protective of our children. We feel confident we made a great decision choosing Burbank Edu-Care. Given the level of care/attention given to these children (plus potty training and healthy lunches included) -the tuition is very reasonable/affordable. If you tour and call other preschools and kindergartens that are in Burbank-Burbank Edu-Care's rates are very reasonable/affordable and they don't have the hidden fees (for lunches, potty training, additional hours for certain shifts, etc.) that some other programs charge. I highly recommend Burbank Edu-Care and am so grateful we found this amazing school! I can't gatekeep such a wonderful program when so many parents are seeking to find a safe, loving, supportive, and excellent preschool/kindergarten that builds on their child's strengths, gives them a sense of safety, care, and accomplishment, and lets them play with joy and creativity. Call Marie! She's awesome!
