It's practically impossible to list the pros of what this school has provided by way of positive experience, fruitful knowledge, and open/creative thinking. In so many ways it has prepared both of my children with the tools they need not just for a positive college experience, but for themselves in life, knowing who they each are and how to be the most truthful individuals they can be.

I have three kids at Sequoyah, and they have all been at the school since kindergarten (this is our…read moresixth year at the school). I cannot speak highly enough about this school. It's a place where teachers and administrators fiercely guard the experience of childhood and being a kid, while also challenging kids academically. Our kids deeply love school (they're disappointed when there's a three-day weekend!) - they are engaged in and excited about what they're learning. I've been so impressed with the level of the academics for all the kids - the teachers at Sequoyah expect a high level of achievement from the kids, proportionate to what they know each kid is capable of. Even more importantly, every teacher we've had has truly *seen* each of our kids for who they are - they see what motivates each kid, what their social experience is, and how much they should push versus encourage. The school community is, quite simply, what keeps our family in LA. The families at Sequoyah are diverse, kind, warm, and interesting - exactly the sorts of people I'm thrilled my kids get to grow up around, and I get to have as my friends. Sequoyah is the sort of special place that I truly think is making our corner of the world a better place.

It's so heartwarming to see how the same love, dedication, and care that made this school amazing years ago are still carried on today. The memories, activities, and traditions created here leave a lifelong impact on the children and families who are part of it. One thing that truly stands out is how strong the language development and learning foundation are here. The teachers do an amazing job helping children build communication skills, confidence, creativity, and lifelong skills from such a young age. You can genuinely feel how much the staff cares about every child and their growth. I attended this preschool myself over 20 years ago, and to this day I still remember the incredible experiences and life skills I still use every single day. My nephew also attended this school and had such a wonderful experience as well. This preschool has been a special place for my family for generations, and I'm already looking forward to the day my own son will get to attend LVCC. I will always advocate for this school because of the love, dedication, and positive impact it continues to have on children and families year after year. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing, safe, and truly amazing preschool!

If you're touring this facility, ask for specifics because she dodged or plainly ignored my questions.

We'll be sad to leave ANS when our daughter graduates next year, but we know -- like her brother -- she'll be ready for anything.

To add clarity the events in this review were experienced by EVERYONE in our group for over a year…read more Many of our fellow parents unenrolled as a result of these events. As class parents we heard the concerns of the remaining parents in our class and voiced our collective concerns, only to be met with retribution from the owner. That being said, If you would like your children to go to a facility where the owner is okay with your child sleeping on a carpet that smells like a casino floor this place is for you. I was debating not writing anything but after spending time at other day cares in the area that take cleanliness and consistency seriously I had to share my experience. We spent over a year at this location with our toddler and during the one year there we experienced a HFM out break that impacted the entire class, yes the entire class was out for weeks. When one child would return even with no others present they somehow would contract the virus, we cited cleanliness concerns that were not addressed. We loved our first teacher unforunately she left after two months, from then on our experience with the leads was a merry go round of turn over during the time there. Every day we wouldn't be sure if our lead would be present, on leave or fired. Turnover is a huge issue here. Once, all of the parents spent a half hour at the gate locked out of the school when we were trying to pick up our children at the end of the day. They could not find their spare key so the children were trapped inside. And lastly after our families were all devastated by the fires, this location opened with a ventilation system that had not been professionally cleaned and carpets that smelled like smoke for weeks. They did not take their role in the recovery process seriously. If leadership, consistency, cleanliness and communication are important to you I would say DDP ranks low on the list of options in pasadena. There are better options down the street.

There are a lot of great enrichment activities available for a fee (karate, yoga, dance, soccer, theatre to name a few) on campus. They have state of the art facilities and great teacher to student ratios. They also have a woman who comes in periodically to teach social emotional learning classes (SEL) and supports students one on one if needed for an extra fee. We were extremely satisfied with our experience here, the only negative for us in the earlier years was the high teacher turnover- which seems to be a problem in a lot of preschool environments. All in all though, Discovery Days fostered a very welcoming and positive environment. Our son is absolutely ready for kindergarten socially and academically.

As a first-time mom, I was definitely nervous about leaving her in someone else's care, but the director, Rosi, was so warm, friendly, and welcoming that she made the whole transition so much easier. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my little one was in good hands. My trust in Evergreen also came from my sister's experience. Her eldest daughter attended from infancy until she started kindergarten, and her youngest is currently enrolled as well. That reassurance, combined with my own first-hand experience, has made me confident in choosing this school. The teachers are truly wonderful, always happy, friendly, and caring. My daughter has grown and developed so much since being here. They put so much love and effort into everything, from daily learning and fun activities to thoughtful artwork, gifts, and celebrations for holidays and events. Even the food they provide is high quality, which I really appreciate. While tuition is on the higher side, I honestly believe it's worth every penny. The care, attention, and nurturing environment they provide is priceless. Their hours are also very accommodating for working parents, which has been a huge help. I have absolutely no complaints and would wholeheartedly recommend Evergreen Montessori to any parent considering it. Knowing my daughter is safe, loved, and thriving there is the best feeling.

For us, it has been the right blend of a progressive, child-centered curriculum with just enough structure to feel familiar to both of us who went through traditional schools. I would encourage anyone looking for a thoughtful environment that helps students discover who they are and to appreciate the process of learning to at least tour and explore what Walden can offer. When we toured for Kindergarten, we kept coming back to how "right" Walden felt. Everything from the intention behind the curriculum, the kindhearted approach to meeting students where they are "in the moment," and the enthusiasm the parents had for the school resonated with us. Our oldest child is now thriving at a middle school that is more traditional and "rigorous." But Walden kids do well moving on to a diverse range of schools ranging from the most "selective" and achievement-oriented schools to more progressive schools to public options. We couldn't be more pleased with our decision to choose Walden.
