Once got pantsed and mr k kept being werid and asking in a very sexual way for me to demonstrate how low my pants went, yes he wanted me to pull them down... this school is trash, trash everywhere, they watch you in the bathroom they'll literally watch you through the stall to make sure your not doing drugs. Pretty unorganized. I would rather teach a kid myself then send mine here.

My son attended Knolls and had the worse experience ever. Whenever he talks about Knolls, he get…read moreemotional and upset. I have truly never seen him like this before. He went from being a great student to failing. Once he left Knolls, he was behind his academics. It was a lot of work but we got him back on track. Before he left Knolls, I tried getting him help but it was useless. I reached out to his teacher, Mrs. Landy, and asked her to please take a moment and help him. It was obvious she was not concerned about my son and stated she had a full class and two grades to handle. I kept my attitude with Mrs.Landy very civil but I was truly upset when my son expressed various confrontations with Mrs. Landy. 1. Mrs Landy asked my son if he needed help with specific math (my son knew his fractions but needed help with word problems). Therefore he said he was fine (referring to fractions). Mrs. Landy then stated sarcastically "okay when you get a bad grade dont say I didn't try." Secondly, i have never received any complaints about my son. Having said that, when I received a note that my son was being disruptive in class I became upset. I called out my son and asked him what he had done. This only made my son upset and he began to cry and said he did not know. I reached out to Mrs. Landy in regards to this complaint and she stated my son wasn't wearing his "mask" properly and a student in his table had complained. Perhaps moving that child would of been a better option than to go as far as sending out these types of letters. I can go on and on. Our students need teachers who take the time to "care." These are rough times for everyone but they are the hardest for our children. Please provide these children with a good experience. Its plain SAD when they have these horrible experiences that they can't erase.

The facilities (beautiful shaded playground, fun classrooms and swimming pool!), welcoming and caring staff and teachers, and enrichment programs (Spanish, physical education, music) were all such a blessing. My daughter started when she was 3.5 with Mrs. Silva and Ms. Riley. My daughter typically has a hard time with new environments but got comfortable with the school right away - she only cried at her first drop off and never again. She ended the year with so many friends and great relationship with her teachers - especially Ms. Riley. She also learned all her letters and numbers. This year, she has been in the pre-K program with Ms. Adele and Mrs. Zangri. It has been a great year so far with learning math, science and sparkle words! My son started in the infant room a year ago with Ms. Alexa and Mrs. Taiko. In the fall, he moved to the toddler room with Mrs. Claudia, Mrs. Ana and Ms. Krysten. All the teachers are so loving and I can tell how my son has bonded with them. I especially loved all the work the teachers put into the open house and other family activities like the Halloween parade, grandparents day, and holiday performance. They create a great sense of community by involving the parents in so much of what goes on at the school. I would highly highly recommend this daycare/pre-school to any family that is close enough. We commuted from Chatsworth and it was totally worth it!

She has a special knack for recognizing someone's strengths and areas of growth quickly so they always feel supported and encouraged. So glad Allie is expanding her support to others!

We welcomed our second daughter who we signed up for the waitlist ASAP so she could attend once she was 18 months old in 2022. Our experience has been more than I could've ever dreamed. It truly feels like an extended family. We loved Miss Lorraine and Miss Michelle when they were directors and we love Miss Jacqueline who is the current director. So considerate, loving, and happy. Our kids were so blessed to be with Ms Elba (toddler class), Ms Angela and Ms Ozma (2's), Ms Debra (no longer there), Ms Lorraine, and Miss Bri (3's), Ms Rosadah (pre-k, but no longer there) and Ms Frances (kinder). I also need to mention Ms Evelyn because she's loved our girls even though she never directly taught them. I could not speak highly enough of these teachers. They are more than teachers. The guidance and love they showed our kids - It's something I will remember for the rest of my life. Honestly I can't even formulate words to express my admiration for them and gratitude. Truly phenomenal people who are a gift to this world. I am not typically an emotional person but I have been an emotional wreck the past month or so leading up to our girls' graduations. Leaving LSM and these teachers was so incredibly hard and something I am still trying to come to terms with. Our girls love them tremendously and I have the hardest time feeling like our next "big kid school" will even match this experience. I wish they went through elementary school - We wouldn't even think twice of running back!
