Mrs. Draper is truly the BEST 3-year-old teacher! From the moment my son transitioned into her…read moreclassroom, I noticed such a positive difference in him. She is patient, nurturing, attentive, and genuinely caring toward the children. You can tell that teaching is more than just a job for her. She takes the time to understand each child's personality, make them feel comfortable, and encourage them to learn and participate. My son has absolutely THRIVED in her classroom, and it has been amazing to see his confidence, happiness, and excitement about school grow. Chef Kay also deserves recognition! My son is a very picky eater, so I'm always impressed when he comes home excited about something he ate at school. Chef Kay prepares meals that my son actually enjoys, which means so much to me as a parent. Knowing that he is being offered meals he likes and is willing to eat makes me feel much more comfortable while he's at school. I also want to share something from our experience because I believe parents should always pay attention to their child's behavior and communication. When my son first started on the infant side with Mrs. Amaya, we unfortunately did not have the same positive connection. My son would come home saying that she was mean and that she didn't like him. At first, I tried to understand that children can sometimes interpret situations differently. However, I also noticed that the energy changed, particularly when she stopped speaking to or acknowledging my child. His doctor once explained to me that children are more likely to participate, engage, and be attentive when they feel comfortable and safe with their teacher. Looking back, I believe that may have been part of why my son didn't really connect in that classroom, while he has completely THRIVED with other teachers. As a parent, I truly believe in listening to your child while also observing the adults who are caring for them. I pay attention to how staff interact with my child, how they communicate with the children, and how they treat other children when they think parents aren't watching. It's important to me to know that anyone caring for my son is patient, respectful, nurturing, and genuinely engaged. And I also Try to attend majority of the field trips. Overall, I am extremely grateful for the positive experience my son has had in Mrs. Draper's classroom. The difference in his happiness and development speaks volumes. Mrs. Draper, thank you for loving, teaching, encouraging, and nurturing my baby. I would absolutely recommend this school, especially based on the wonderful experience we've had with Mrs. Draper and I Hope the staff continues to be just as great with all the changes.

Her 2 year old teacher, Ms. Amiya, along with all of the other staff, created such a warm and loving environment where our daughter felt comfortable, safe, and excited to learn. We've seen so much growth in her confidence, communication, independence, and social skills. It means so much as a parent to know your child is being cared for by individuals who treat them with kindness and takes the time to understand their individual needs. Thank you ABB!

When my 3-year-old expressed interest in making friends at school, we enrolled her in FTH summer…read morecamp. Nearly two years later, I couldn't be happier with our decision. My daughter adores every aspect of FTH--from the enriching classes to the academic challenges that have helped her thrive. Now at 5, she even enjoys practicing cursive! What sets FTH apart is how the staff truly gets to know each child. When she first started, she was shy and prone to the typical meltdowns. The team nurtured her and thoughtfully paired her with peers who were a great match for her personality. This personalized care has transformed her into a confident, outgoing child who isn't afraid to try new things or speak up for herself. The blend of diverse personalities among the staff creates a welcoming, family-like atmosphere where strangers quickly become friends. I always feel at ease leaving my daughter in such a safe, supportive environment. I have no doubt she's making lifelong memories, and I highly recommend FTH to any family seeking a nurturing, enriching experience for their child.

We loved our time at MAWA so much. My son attended for three full years (ages 2-4) in three…read moredifferent classes and had a wonderful experience at every stage. The teachers are kind, caring, and patient, the admins are helpful, and the student & parent community was amazing. The kids get such a well rounded experience there - two language classes, reading & writing, special on-site "field trips" (aquarium, petting zoo, etc.), science fair, 2 performances each year, spirit week, cultural events, and not to mention the very strong academic (and practical skills from Montessori methods) foundation they receive. It was amazing to see the progress he made there in 3 years. Like many private preschools it's pricey but in my opinion it was worth every penny.

His teachers Ms. Mirian and Ms. Raysa are miracle workers. My kid trusts them deeply and feels so well supported. At home he sings to himself in Mandarin (all kids learn Mandarin from Ms. Sophie), shows off his gym/yoga moves he learned at Webby, and shows me insanely advanced math skills like solving for x. He tells me he loves going to school and is genuinely disappointed there's no school on weekends. The administrators have been very supportive in finding the right classroom for him and providing the guidance he needs. There's so much love and care put into each kid's education. We're lucky to have them.

For nearly five years, my son has been a proud part of the Fairview family, and I am incredibly…read morethankful for the experiences he has had. All of the children are in a warm environment because of the staff's sincere love and nurture. Under the direction of the director, Ms. Hooper, the school provides special chances that aren't available at many other establishments. Fairview really goes above and beyond, from amazing field trips and community visits to engaging extracurricular activities like writing workshops, cheerleading, and entrepreneurial programs. As well as gaining a strong spiritual foundation. One of the most crucial things a parent can do is to feel secure and confident while dropping their child off at school. The daily updates, which come in the form of pictures, videos, and thorough correspondence, provide you comfort and make you feel connected even when you're not together. The instructors are always friendly and willing to address your questions or concerns. High parent involvement is one of Fairview's most notable characteristics, and it says a lot about the sense of community that Ms. Hooper has created. We genuinely feel like we belong to a family, and I am so appreciative of it. It has been a pleasure to be a part of the Fairview community, and I will always treasure the memories we have created here, and excited to be apart of the continuing growth at Fairview.

I cannot say enough good things about Fairview Christian Academy and Ms. Hooper! My journey with…read moreher and the school began back in 2015 when she was a teacher at a school my kids were attending. At that time, I was so impressed with her dedication to the children that when she transitioned to opening her own home-based childcare, I knew I had to follow her. My two older kids (now 13 and 11) have been in Ms. Hooper's care since 2016, and they are still with her today. My youngest, now 4, has been attending Fairview Christian Academy since he was just 3 months old. Fairview Christian Academy is truly the best school in our community. The academics are exceptional--my children are reading and writing at an early age, which I feel is a direct result of the amazing curriculum Ms. Hooper offers. They also have the opportunity to learn Japanese as a second language, which is something that is not common in many schools these days. The school regularly organizes math and spelling bees that encourage the kids to excel academically while having fun! In today's world, many public schools, like those in LAUSD, don't offer the same level of engagement, so I am incredibly grateful for the enriching environment that Fairview provides. One of the things that stands out most to me is the sense of family that Ms. Hooper has built. She doesn't just focus on academics but also makes sure that the kids are happy and confident. There are family nights out, school events, and plenty of opportunities for parents to be involved. I've volunteered for numerous events, and I can truly say that the energy is always positive, warm, and welcoming. The entire staff is amazing, always going above and beyond to create a supportive, caring, and joyful environment for the children. What's even more remarkable is watching how Ms. Hooper has grown the school. I've seen her go from taking care of just 10 kids to now being responsible for over 200 children. She has even opened a second location to accommodate the growing demand for her incredible care. This speaks volumes about the quality of education and care she offers, and I'm beyond proud of her achievements. Throughout my time at Fairview, I've never heard of any child being mistreated, nor have I experienced any negativity from the staff. Ms. Hooper runs an organization that prioritizes love, respect, and education, and you can see that in every interaction. I've referred numerous parents to the school, and every single one of them has been thrilled with their decision. They are just as happy as I am with the care and education their children are receiving, and no one has been interested in taking their kids out. I am proud to support Ms. Hooper, a strong, visionary Black woman who is making a huge impact in our community. Fairview Christian Academy has truly become a place where children are not only educated but nurtured into well-rounded individuals. If you're looking for a school that will go above and beyond to ensure your child's success, I highly recommend Fairview Christian Academy. - Khloe Junior & Slauson Mom!

On the recommendation of a friend we visited Growstrong Preschool and 7 years later we are about to…read morehave 2 proud Growstrong graduates! I cannot speak highly enough of Growstrong. It is a small, in-home preschool, that has a maximum of 10 students (~6 more recently), and the teacher, Ms. Yvette, pours into these kids so that they are proud and excited learners and are able to do so much more than you ever imagined a 4 year old could do! When looking for a preschool we wanted a place where we felt our child would be safe, with attentive teachers, not sat in front of a screen all day, he was treated well, and he would learn important socialization skills and basics to ensure that they were ready for kindergarten. Growstrong EASILY checks those boxes and goes far beyond. Our 2nd child will graduate from Growstrong in the fall. Between the two of them we have kids who were reading at a 2nd grade level or higher, adding, subtracting, multiplying, doing word problems, playing chess, reciting the "I Have A Dream" speech and excerpts from King's other works as well as poems by authors like Robert Frost, and doing so much more by the time they leave preschool. And through their entire time there they were treated like family by Ms Yvette--a woman who I have never seen even raise her voice at any of these children despite how crazy they may have been acting--given healthy home cooked meals daily, and respected like real little humans with feelings and independent thoughts. It says a lot that out of my son's class of 5 students, 4 of them are siblings to children who graduated or currently go there. I have also grown to be friends with many of the parents of the children who have attended because we are all similarly invested in our kids and their future and value what Growstrong provides. And all of the kids have always been incredibly sweet. With so many difficult decisions as a parent, selecting Growstrong was easily one of the best ones we have ever made.

When I drop him off he always smiles at his teachers and is very happy to see them. That makes me feel so trusting of this daycare because kids will let you know even before they can speak.
