What an incredible school. Our daughters are thriving there and always excited to attend. The parent community culture is wonderful, as well as parent opportunities to be involved. We've met some wonderful families there who are now long time friends! Our daughters adore each teacher they've had. The admin and support staff are fabulous too. Cassidy is such a special place, I can't recommend it enough! read more

We could not recommend Cassidy enough. Our two boys are currently enrolled in the school and we are counting down to when we can enroll our 8m daughter! The school's approach is thoughtful and innovative. Our children have learned the academic fundamentals and the teachers have equipped them to handle all of the social and emotional challenges that present themselves with preschool aged kids. Luisa leads with compassion and is simply the best in her field. We are so grateful to Luisa, the teachers, and administrators for the most positive experience. They are truly what make the school so special. We feel so lucky to be part of the lovely Cassidy community! read more

Our first introduction to Cassidy was as a part of their Toddler Group program four years ago, and now both of our children are currently enrolled. There literally is no better choice than Cassidy Preschool. If you are researching the school, then you already know of its outstanding reputation as an excellent school. The fact that it is such an outstanding school and also has such a kind and inclusive community is what truly makes it such a rare Los Angeles gem though. The friendly and grounded families that make up its community are at the school events and involved at the school because they want to be, not because they have to be. The school is so blessed to have Luisa at its helm. She has been such a calm, strong and steady force, especially during these trying pandemic years. Luisa brilliantly leads with only the best of intentions and the kids' needs and best interests as her priority. My husband and I will be looking to Luisa for advice long after our kids leave there. (And we joke about having a third kid just to be able to stay at Cassidy longer!) There truly is no better choice. read more

Cassidy is, quite simply, pure and blissful preschool magic. During a year when so many things were challenging and unpredictable, my daughter was allowed to just *be a kid*, thanks to Cassidy. The environment they have created is warm, wholesome, and genuine; it's loving, learning and nurturing. The teachers are that special breed of people who are always smiling; their "buckets are always full" as my daughter would say. The parents are super engaged and always willing to jump into the community-building initiatives like teacher lunches, fresh flowers, and organizing play activities. A special note must be made about the Director Luisa, who captains this entire operation as one of the most competent leaders I've experienced - in ANY field or organization. She navigated the constantly-changing COVID landscape with grace, transparency and fairness. We are so grateful to the school and community for the experience we have had for the past 1.5 years, and look forward to the next 4+ years that we will be a part of Cassidy with our other kids. (And I am ready to apply for the 40-year-old preschool class as soon as they offer it :) read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cassidy. Our daughter is in her first year at Cassidy and we absolutely love it here. The teachers are so incredibly loving, kind and patient. Luisa and the administrative team are superb, especially in how they have handled Covid/the pandemic. Our daughter is absolutely thriving at Cassidy and has truly blossomed from a quiet/shy little blueberry at the beginning of the school year to an outgoing, talkative and curious 3-year old. She is so excited to go to school every day. As east coast natives, we are so grateful to have found Cassidy as it's been a wonderful community for both our daughter and ourselves. We cannot recommend it enough! read more

Where to begin! Cassidy Preschool is an incredible place that we feel so lucky to be a part of. Our son is currently in his 3rd year at Cassidy and the support, guidance and nurturing environment is truly one of a kind. Our middle daughter is in her first year and is so excited to go to school each day. The teachers, staff and families are the best of the best. Cassidy Preschool's community is warm and inviting and is a very special place. Luisa, the Director, has done an amazing job at leading Cassidy Preschool. She has handled all aspects of the Pandemic flawlessly. She has made our school community feel safe and calm, and her honest communication has been such a bright light, during the unknown. We will soon have our third child at Cassidy and I cannot imagine a day that we won't be there! We would stay at Cassidy forever if we could. Cassidy Preschool, is so much more than just a Preschool, it is joining a family and there is truly no better place! read more

I have had both of my children go through all 3 years at Cassidy. I can wholeheartedly say that it has been the most incredible experience I could have ever imagined for them. The school is warm, innovative and age-appropriately academic. Luisa Donati has created the most special early educational environment imaginable. The teachers are skilled in emotional intelligence and appropriate developmental milestones. My kids reached Kindergarten perfectly prepared and I have Cassidy and Luisa to thank for that. read more

Cassidy is truly the most wonderful preschool there ever was. They strike the perfect mix between play and academics, Luisa (the director) is a wise, responsive leader, the teachers could not be more caring, and the entire curriculum is balanced, varied and well-rounded. The school classrooms and grounds are spacious and perfectly conceptualized. We have been so incredibly happy at Cassidy and feel so much gratitude for all they have taught our children. read more

I cannot recommend Cassidy highly enough. We've sent two of our kids through the school already, and are about to enroll our third... if we could go to Cassidy forever, we would! Cassidy's teachers are caring, creative, and responsive, and the Director (Luisa) invests deeply in each and every child. We're continually blown away with the individual attention they put into our kids' experience. They routinely check in to provide us progress reports, alert us to bubbling concerns, ask for feedback, and provide a warm, welcoming environment every day for our kids. Luisa and Cassidy's COVID response has been nothing short of remarkable. With an absolutely Herculean effort, and crystal clear leadership, they've managed to stay open almost the entire school year, providing the kids a small slice of normal in this world that is nothing but abnormal. We consider the school an extension of our family, and are so happy we can continue our journey there. read more

We've been in preschool heaven at Cassidy. We have nothing but amazing things to say about the school's teachers, programs, way they have navigated Covid, the director, and the other families who are chosen to be in the Cassidy community. What a lovely group of educators, children and families. Cassidy's philosophy lets the children fully be themselves, while teaching emotional and social tools, as well as adorable life skills and kindergarten preparedness. Luisa, Cassidy's director, has done a stellar job of adapting to Covid challenges. She has managed to keep the school open more than anyone expected, and all so safely and seamlessly. Its quite remarkable, and so important for the little ones. Cassidy has wonderful programs from working and learning in the garden, to Spanish music class. Pre-Covid (and hopefully returning soon) Cassidy offers enrichment classed after school like cooking, ceramics, science and karate. Our little one would come home so excited to tell us about the new food she tried in cooking, the science project she worked on, or showing us the sweetest art work she made. We have older children who went to another local preschool, which was also great, but my husband constantly says how impressed he is by Cassidy and how he couldn't imagine a school could do such an amazing job. read more

See all

Known as one of the best schools in LA for good reason. They possess an extremely thoughtful teaching staff and curriculum that has benefited two of our children incredibly. Their administration sets an incredibly high-bar for considerate, empathetic, and highly skilled educators. There is natural turnover and we've seen again and again the open spots filled with fantastic individuals. read more

There are not enough words that can describe this incredibly special place that has become such a big part of our lives. We moved here from Chicago and were lucky to get a spot here! It was unlike anything we've ever seen, there is so much thought, creativity and kindness here. The director is truly amazing and leads her staff with such poise, and the kindness and consideration that she emulates is omnipresent throughout the school. The classes are so thoughtful and our children have grown up with a strong academic foundation, social emotional skills, and the happiest childhood. They could not be more excited to go to school everyday. Highly,highly recommend touring this magical place. read more

Our family has been part of the Cassidy community for the last 4 years. I have two kids - a 6 year old who went through all the berry stages and a 4 year old who is currently a Raspberry. I remember being a new mom navigating through the confusing, stressful world of preschool research, tours, & applications. We didn't know what to expect, but when we toured Cassidy- We knew that this is where we wanted to be. The teachers, support staff, and especially Luisa (director) is what makes them stand out from the rest of the private preschools in the area. If you are looking for a haven where you can drop your kids off and know that for the next few hours you have absolutely nothing to worry about-- your kids are happy, safe, and well taken care of - this is the place for you. read more

Wonderful, just wonderful place for families, children and parents. The staff are amazing, the communication with the families through multiple weekly emails are critical and best in class for all of the schools we evaluated. Finally, Luisa is so well respected (and rightly so!) amongst the West side schools, and always has time for families to provide & receive feedback. Cassidy guided our family through the daunting process of applying to Kindergarten and worked behind the scenes and on the frontlines to ensure we had the best chances of getting our child into our top school. On top of everything, Cassidy has wonderful after school activities, lunch club, art, karate, sports and other developmental activities. read more

When we toured preschools and discovered Cassidy, we knew it was "the one" instantly. From the facility to the director to the philosophy to the teaching staff and every detail in between, it's simply a magical school. Our child has flourished in their time at Cassidy and we have seen such growth -- academically, emotionally, physically, socially, etc. The director, Luisa, leads the school with such confidence, thoughtfulness and respect (and the way in which she and her team managed the challenges of the pandemic amazed us and always made us feel safe). They go the extra mile for the kids and make sure to meet them at their individual level and at their own pace. We can't say enough good things about this school and the various programs they offer and feel lucky to have met wonderful friends and be part of a great community of families! read more

"I had the best day, ever!" We hear that sentence a lot in our house and it's all thanks to Cassidy Preschool. Our daughter is currently in her third year at Cassidy and from the very start her excitement and love for the school has only grown. Through the ups and downs of the pandemic, Cassidy has been a true partner in guiding our daughter through this first phase of her education. The entire team at Cassidy, led by the incomparable Luisa, is dedicated, enthusiastic, smart and filled with fun. They allow kids to be curious and they encourage them to learn by exploration and discovery. I know, as we prepare to send our son to Cassidy next year, that we will continue to hear "I had the best day, ever!" again and again. read more

First I have to comment on the two previous reviews: It doesn't sound as if those people send their children to Cassidy, so until you've actually done so, I don't believe your review has much merit. It's based on supposition. We have sent our son to Cassidy since it first opened in September 2009. We were trepidatious at first because there was nothing to tour, it was just a building under construction. Since that time, Cassidy has opened and it has exceeded our expectations. What we love: * daily e-mails with a link to the password protected blog that gives a summarization as well as pictures of what has transpired during our son's day. * twice yearly parent/teacher meetings about how our son is doing * occasional e-mails (just because) that give us further insight into what our son is doing, how he is interacting with other students, how his language is developing, they even give us quotes as to what exactly he said. * once a week a parent can volunteer to come in and give a cooking class/demonstration to the class * once a week there's music class * once a week the kids have show and tell * the play and learn areas change frequently to keep the children engaged * because the school is new, they do not rest on their laurels and reputation, they actually make an effort to make the school environment as amazing an experience as it can be * i had just given birth to our second son, and cassidy preschool cassidy connections committee comprised of a group of (volunteer) mom's, actually brought dinner/lunch to our home every day for ten days. this was so amazing and invaluable a gift. whether it's your first or your fourth child, having someone bring you food right after you've given birth is a godsend. * there are lots of fund raisers (which are entirely optional, you do not have to go) and they are varied: for parents only, for parents and children....they are so much fun and a great way for parents and kids alike to meet and interact with other parents, not just those in their child's classroom * the director is a sweetheart, and it's not because we're loaded (we are SO not) or because we "know" someone (we totally do not) or because we do anything extra to help (and there's no pressure to sign up for anything, be it for volunteering to for going to any of the fund raising events) the director is a sweetheart because that's just who she is. you can't create a school filled with as much love, concern, care and consideration as cassidy by being a you know what. What we aren't crazy about: * nothing The reviews that allude to Cassidy parents being "horrific, rude" and that you wont get in unless it's who you know are ridiculous. As I mentioned, we've been part of Cassidy since it opened a year and a half ago, and I've yet to meet any parents who are rude and horrific. If anything that reviewer is rude for making such a comment. You can't judge an entire school based on an interaction with a select few parents. I am a working Mom and Cassidy's part time program suits us just fine - this year we were in the afternoon program and last year the morning program, and both worked out with our working parents schedule just fine. In a word: Stellar. read more

There probably aren't enough words I can say in this brief format regarding Cassidy. I guess I'd start with the leadership of the school which is unsurpassed and is guiding us through this pandemic somehow in a way that seems nothing short of miraculous. Our daughter truly loves going to school. The teachers seem thoughtful in everything they do. The ratio is pretty ideal. Our daughter started out last year quite shy and now loves speaking and participating. I know people have different needs and desires with respect to schools and if you want a place where there's no or very little structure and kids are more or less left to their own devices, this place is not for you. But if you want a place that is thoughtful in every way with respect to supporting your child and providing fun opportunities for growth, look no further. read more

This is our first year at Cassidy and we cannot say enough about this place! WE LOVE IT!!! I first toured the school when my son was about a year old and half old. I teared up as I started imagining what he would be like running around the hallways and classrooms. You could feel the warmth emanating from the teachers, the environment and the administration. Fast forward to now (new administration)... everything I fell in love with is still there, but it's even better now! Luisa (director) is AMAZING! Knowledgable, honest, compassionate and approachable. She is always open to listening and helping with any concerns you may have (e.g. Kindergarten admissions! Yikes!). She knows every child in the school and every child knows her. My son called her "the lady who lives at school." Brittany (owner) has jumped in with both feet and you can see this is a passion of hers. She is committed to making this the best school for the kids and their families. The teachers are amazing! So loving and kind (2.5-3 year olds) especially when going through separation. I have seen the teachers deal with social issues and I've asked how they dealt with it so that I can learn and enforce it at home as well. A major factor in allowing this to happen is the student/teacher ratio. There are 20 kids in our class and 4 teachers (5:1). The blog is updated 2-3 times a week. We get an update on what they're doing in class that week, how that translates into learning, and pictures of everything along the way. I'm constantly amazed by the creative ways they play (and learn). The families that make up Cassidy really make the school! We've gotten to become friends with some GREAT families through different events hosted by/through the school. We've officially become part of the Cassidy family and glad we'll be "stuck" here for a while! read more

Cassidy is such a special place. Now in her second year there, we watch our daughter feel inspired, encouraged, happy, stimulated, comfortable and loved on a daily basis. The energy and approach comes from the team starting with the Director, who has brought together an incredible group of warm and thoughtful teachers. Our daughter looks forward to going every day and is disappointed on the weekends when she doesn't get to go. Cassidy has drawn a like-minded, supportive parent community as well and we feel lucky to be there. read more

Cassidy Preschool is such a magical school. The warm, friendly, professional, qualified staff there make it shine brighter than the sun. You feel so supported as a parent and the feeling of confidence and safety when you say goodbye to your little one is unparalleled. As a parent and child, you are HEARD always. The communication between parents and faculty is incredible and ongoing on a DAILY basis. The curriculum is so well thought out, age appropriate, fun and meaningful. You would be the luckiest family to be part of the Cassidy Community! read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Cassidy Preschool is A M A Z I N G ! We have been here for three years and did the toddler program prior to entering as a blueberry. I knew when we were doing the toddler program that it was going to be a special place for our son, and boy did they exceed all expectations! Everything Cassidy Preschool does has meaning and purpose. We feel SO lucky to be a part of such a wonderful community, both inside and outside of the school. We have met friends we will take with us for life, and our son has made incredible relationships with his peers as well. I cannot say enough about the staff, down to the teacher who greets us at the gate each morning, who isn't even my sons teacher, but always has a smile on her face and says hello and asks how we're doing. Every year we are so grateful for fabulous teachers, a well thought out curriculum, photo updates, cool projects, time in the garden, science experiments, Coach Jonah, to celebrate ALL of the holidays, etc. We are forever grateful to Luisa, Teru, Lolis and every blueberry, raspberry and blackberry teacher for making our experience so positive! We love all of you! PS - If there was an elementary school option, we would be there too. ;) read more

I wish I could give this school extra credit stars! Words cannot express my love for Cassidy. I have known preschools intimately for many years due to my line of work, and I've literally spent hundreds of hours inside dozens of preschool programs in LA over the years. Thank goodness there are lots of incredible ones in our great city. But Cassidy is something else; I have seen nothing quite like it. The program is thoughtful and thorough, the educators phenomenal, and the leadership (aka Luisa Donati, the director) is not just amazing at what she does (building community, empowering her teachers, always evolving the program..the list goes on and on) but she also happens to be a beautiful human being. What a gift Cassidy has been to my daughter. I will forever be grateful for the richness and love she walked into every day. read more

My family and I have been going to Cassidy for 3 years now (toddler to Raspberry.) Unlike other pre-schools, Cassidy feels very much like a family from welcoming you by name every morning to paying specific attention and care to each kids particular personality. In fact, we moved to West Hollywood and still commute to Santa Monica just for Cassidy. read more

The teachers and indoor classrooms are great - which is why there are two stars and not just one. The outdoor space has a lot to be desired. It's quite small for that many children, and has been cut in half in order to accommate a toddler group outside. The director, Crystal, has major communication issues and conflict resolution issues. If you do not agree with her - about anything - then I would recommend to keep it to your self. Her attitude is "it's my way or the highway". She is VERY GREEDY! The school is one of the most expensive in the neighborhood, asks for a heafty fundraising check from each child and then does not offer any scholarships! At the end of the day, Crystal is more concerned with maximizing each dollar than about the children. She makes a good first impression and pitch, but when her true colors come out she is read more

My child goes to Cassidy and their staff is very nice. They have a great program, both educational and activity wise. my girl loves going there everyday. I wish it were less expensive, but $10,000 + change happens to be the going rate for preschools in Santa Monica. As a new school, they've taken the best of all the other schools and put it into one program. Pretty smart, if you ask me. And ps - if you want to get in, it's not about who you are or who you know. just sign up and pay the bill. re: the parents ... some parents are cool and some parents have their noses up in the air - but you'll find that in every school in this town. read more

Our family has been at Cassidy for two years now and we are so happy with the school. The parent community is also wonderful and welcoming. This summer there were major changes in administration that occurred and Luisa and Lori as well as the owner, Brittany stepped in. They are like the 3 musketeers who are so committed to the well being of the school and maintaing the community built around it. Nervous parents, including ourselves, were won over by their commitment and tireless efforts. Cassidy continues to focus on play based education and so this is not the place if you want your kids to learn their phonics and do math at age 3 or 4. (it does come later in preparation for K in the DK classes). Most importantly, kids learn to use language to resolve conflicts and to express themselves, play with their friends and there is a lot of project based activities. This year, we now have a "bug guy" who comes in to work with the kids, a "music specialist" who my child loves, and a sports coach who does "play ball"and after school enrichments that the kids love. Finally, we just want to say that we are so happy with the admin and how much they care about the school and parents. They are extremely approachable and very egalitarian, which is very respectable when you have some wealthy families who think they can sway their judgement based on their status. Most importantly, we are also very happy with the teachers and their kindness and professionalism . My child is excited to go to school and looks forward to it everyday. Any family thinking of going to Cassidy, I can most sincerely say it's a great place for your little one and your family. read more

What's not to like: great Santa Monica location (although no parking!), large play area (a plus on the Westside), nice staff, beautiful facility, and as usual on the Westside long wait-lists. You'll be lucky if you can get your child in, even for the toddler program. Like most preschools in the area, who you are, who you know and what you do will help (or so we've heard). This school is great for the stay-at-home mom or a family with a nanny. It's a part-time program only. read more

I am surprised that hearsay and innuendo such as self-admittedly posted by Ann T - who has never even toured Cassidy - have found a place on Yelp. True compassion - such as Ann claims motivates her - would drive one to seek both sides of a story and determine where truth actually lies - unless hate speech and rumor-mongering are the real intent here, of course. I, too, have never toured Cassidy, and I, too, know Cassidy families. By the way, the families that I know are NOT industry people. In any case, they couldn't be happier with Cassidy. Possibly one of the things they most appreciate is that the owner of the school is always ready to listen to parents' concerns, and is always open to input from them. Now, I'm not sure if Ann T's friends just like to complain and criticize with no real point, but if they had approached the Cassidy staff, my gut feel is (based on MY friends' various experiences, which are admittedly just as hearsay as Ann T's anecdotal ramblings) if they had approached the staff, they would have found both compassion and concern - unless, as I suggested, they are folks who just like to complain and never trouble themselves to take real action. Whatever - the buzz over here is that Cassidy is pretty great, the teachers are wonderful, and the staff has a long and respected history in the area. read more

It's not easy to satisfy the expectations of my husband and me, when it comes to the education of our kids. Unfortunately we never found the perfect preschool for our now 11 years old son in L.A. Of course back then Cassidy Preschool did not exist. Luckily Cassidy opened it's doors just in time for our daughter, who attends this amazing preschool since she is two and a half years old and who will proudly graduate from Cassidy this year. Not only was Cassidy the first school to ever make us completely happy, it exceeded all our expectations. During vacations our daughter counts the days until she can return to her friends and teachers. And I don't blame her, the atmosphere at Cassidy is magical. In fact it is so welcoming, warm and inspiring, that as a parent you will have a hard time leaving the building after dropping of your child. The school-building itself is a beautifully designed place - warm and hip at the same time - and the teachers and staff are unpretentious and down to earth. Crystal Biltz - the amazing, energetic principal and founder - has turned her vision into a beautiful reality. She has surrounded herself with a great staff and with extremely qualified teachers. Despite the fact that Cassidy has grown quite a bit, we always could count on Crystals full attention. She would always take even small concerns about our daughter very seriously, sit down with me immediately, and address and solve any issues. Crystal really "sees" your child and so do the teachers, who are very nurturing. Our daughter bloomed into a very independent, articulate five year old with amazing social skills. At Cassidy kids aren't only taught academics but also character and kindness. And all this, while having lots of fun and playtime. When our daughter got ready to move on to Kindergarten, Crystal also guided us through the stressful process of applying to L.A.'s private Elementary schools. With her support, we were lucky to get accepted in the school of our choice. During our school interviews we realized that Cassidy Preschool is very much respected in this town. And rightfully so! Cassidy is a great start for kids and L.A.'s Westside has become a better place, because of this school. read more

We have been part of this school for more than 4 years and we could not be happier. My line of work is in child development, and I work with kids and families. Thus, I am very particular about child philosophies and education, and Cassidy has continued exceed our expectations. Both of my children have thrived, and we have made many close friends in the community. The director, Luisa, is an absolute gem. I will be very sad the day my youngest child graduates. read more

We couldn't be happier at Cassidy. We love the teachers and the environment and the new director is a GEM. My child can't wait to go to school everyday. There is a strong parent community as well which is full of love and support. Definitely worth a tour to see for yourself. read more

We are finishing up our first year at Cassidy Preschool and it has exceeded all our expectations. We toured Cassidy 3 years ago and knew it was the right spot for us. Now, more than ever, I feel Cassidy is at its best. The new Director is amazing and extremely approachable. She is in tune to every child and has an open door policy with parents. This is a huge improvement. Searching for a preschool was a task, and we were told to just put your head down and be lucky if you get in. Cassidy is not that environment and they truly care that you are part of their school. Our son can't wait to go to school every day and is gloomy on the weekends when he doesn't go to Cassidy. This year they have added enrichment classes including cooking class, fantastic machines, circus class, tennis and the list goes on. They have coaches from Playball, music class, and a bug expert every week. Honestly, I could go on and on about the school and how much I love the amazing staff and how I have made lifelong friends. But what's most important, is when I pick up my son up every day, he's the happiest little man in town. He talks non-stop on the way home and can't wait for school tomorrow. read more

We moved our daughter from her old preschool to Cassidy so she could participate in a more traditional TK program. We were nervous about the transition but it turned out to be the best parenting decision we have made so far. Luisa and the Strawberry Room teachers made our daughter (and family) feel so welcome that she was skipping to school singing "I love Cassidy" by the end of the first week. Everyone we've met who has had the opportunity to send their child to the Strawberry Room refers to it as a "magical year" and now I understand why. The teachers are incredible and the children are so happy and engaged. We receive personalized weekly emails with documentation of our daughter's work and activities. She comes home on Fridays full of excitement to share the details of their "Science Friday" experiments and she seems to have memorized a new poem every week. In addition to a rich and diverse school program that is full of music and art, the after school activities are wonderful. Our daughter currently attends Ninja club, Lego club and Drama club and there are many other wonderful after school activities, too, like cooking and pottery. Though we've only been at the school since last September we feel such a deep connection to the whole school community. We truly love the other families we have met through the school and know we will be friends for a very long time. I also take our younger daughter to a second time moms group at the school which is run by the incomparable Molly Schaffer. It's so wonderful to know that our youngest will be starting Cassidy this fall and we have three more years to look forward to at the school. And while I truly believe you have to pick a school based on what you're looking for in the preschool years, it's worth noting that the school's support in navigating the elementary school application process went above and beyond. I can't imagine there are many preschool directors who are held in higher regard than Luisa... and for good reason. She is a kind, experienced, compassionate, wise, thoughtful, accessible, nurturing, insightful woman and educator. We recommend this school to our closest friends without hesitation. If you're reading this review I hope you have the opportunity to send your child to Cassidy. It is a home away from home full of magic and wonder and love and learning. read more

If I could sign up for Cassidy myself, I would. The place is really phenomenal. We toured several other places but Cassidy was heads above other preschools in our estimation and we feel so fortunate to be a part of this community. Truly a privilege. I know it sounds cliche but I cannot praise the staff and the program enough. It feels like an extension of our home in that we know that our little one is gaining some incredibly enriching experiences in a supportive and safe environment. It is progressive and structured, a grounded sort of beacon of normalcy in the sometimes bizarre world of westside parenting. I know several other reviewers have gone into more detail and this review may be mostly glittering generalities but our daughter just loves going to Cassidy and we couldn't be happier to be part of such an incredible community. My only complaint is that we can't keep the kids there through high school.. read more
