They always have fun learning new things and love celebration events.

I have been with Kay Marie Kidz for over a decade! And I wouldn't change it for the world. Natali and her staff have been amazing and go above and beyond for my boys. The care and curriculum they provide is outstanding. Thank you Kay Marie Kidz for treating us like family

This is not a daycare this is a family, all welcomed my babies with love I am forever grateful for the staff, with crafts lots of play time and home cooked meals to not have picky eaters to great communication with us parents and picture updates throughout the day, would 100000% recommend for any families who are having a hard time with starting daycare you will be at ease leaving your babies here (;

I have been with them since 2016. I am very special with the people I leave my children with but I know that Kay Marie Kidz my children are well taken care of. After many years with them, they are more like family. All of my 5 children like to go. Natali works with you if you need to leave them early or you are running late to pick up.The ladies who work there are very kind. Little ones have education time where they learn abc, number and color as for the older kiddos get help with homework. I wouldn't change to any other daycare here I know my kids are safe.

Learning at such a early age is awesome

Natali's daycare welcomed Ozzy who was placed with me by the State for a short period of time she welcomed him with open arms on very such short notice with good care and affection. Natali is very professional and very carrying of the children along with her staff they treat parents with respect and she even extended her friendship to me and my oldest daughter for school pick up to keep me at ease with LA traffic would recommend Kay Marie to any parent who is looking for a loving environment for there children.

When I first began my process of looking for a day care it was heart wrenching because my mom and my mother in law were the ones always caring for my boys since they were baby's while myself and my husband went to work. I had a very tough time deciding on which day care to choose especially because I had never left my children with anyone else other than family. I'm grateful to say that I came across Kay Marie Kidz and I instantly connected with Natali and I knew that this is where I wanted my children to be cared for while I go to work. Super grateful !!

Christmas at Kay Marie Kidz!

Amazing Daycare! I have had 6 children attend Kay Marie Kidz over the years, and what I appreciated the most from the staff there is that they helped all of my kids with developing positive social skills. The "how" in dealing with everyday problems, becomes a valuable skill for a youngster. This means they can vent anger, frustration, and disappointment in ways other than tantrums and naughtiness. As a single mother of 6, I appreciated this tremendously! 5 Stars all the way!

My husband and I were hesitant to put our daughter into a daycare as any worried first-time parents would be. Luckily, we found Kay Marie Kidz and the first time we met Ms. Natali she put our minds at ease. From day one, she ensured us that our daughter will be safe and well taken care of. We are beyond happy that our daughter is learning from their fun activities while socializing with other kids. She comes home happy and sometimes she doesn't even want to come home! Ms. Natali, Ms. Laura and the other caretakers are AMAZINGand we are forever grateful for their care, love, and support for our daughter and for us busy parents. We highly recommend them!

Katherine C.

AMAZING ! Natali and her staff are just the best . I have two boys they started at 11 months and 22 months . My two year old enters and reaches for a hug from one of the staff that always opens the door. Daycare is clean, when my son first started by day 3 he knew he's suppose to take off his shoes inside. My boys are half Mexican so I asked for them to speak Spanish to them and now my son says some words in Spanish. I love how they have outdoor time and arts&craft time . I go to work knowing my kids are well taken care of . My boys love it here and I definitely recommend this day care.

love the day care. My child is always excited to be there. gives me a peace of mind knowing she is happy.

Natali has been my children's care provider for nearly three years. She's been incredible and supportive in a way I've never experienced, and I am just overall thankful for her. She has excellent communication, listens, and respects parents. She offers help when I struggle on my parenting path, advising me on development and much more. Her location is clean, bright, and organized!

Amanda D.

Look no further for your childcare needs! The only daycare I trust. Natali is excellent, not only professional but she became family! The staff is amazing and my kids have a blast. The staff helps with homework and provides amazing amenities and activities! This daycare is clean and SAFE! She cares about your kids like they are her own. She goes above and beyond to work with your schedule and make sure your kids have everything they need and more. She's also great when it comes to emergencies and last minute drop offs and pickups. I can't say enough good things about this facility. My kids have been going to her for over three years and I trust NO ONE else! This daycare is wonderful!

We began searching for a tutor that would be the "right fit" for our daughter, Vyla, some time ago…read more During the 2020-2021 year (4th grade), our daughter was lucky enough to be in-school learning, as COVID prevented many from not being in-school. However, Vyla had been struggling since the beginning of her 3rd grade year, when COVID first hit. Her studies took a nosedive and we had been playing catch-up since. Although being in school was incredibly valuable, she continued to fall behind. As Vyla entered the 5th grade, we were determined to get her caught up as quickly as possible. We considered a few other services, which all looked great, but there was something very warm and positive about Marsha when we discussed Vyla and our determination to get her back to grade level. Marsha reviewed Vyla's background, listened to all of our concerns, reviewed an academic evaluation we had Vyla complete, and discussed an education plan moving forward .When Vyla began the 5th grade, we then reevaluated what Vyla should be doing, based on what was going on in her class. Marsha focused on Vyla's gaps, and with each session, Vyla became more confident, and more focused! When we started, Vyla was hesitate, as Marsha was "new" and she was not sure if she would work well due to having to complete her schoolwork; she was worried about being over-worked. But with each new session, Marsha showed Vyla that studies could be fun! Marsha challenged her with quiz's, facts, flash cards, and Vyla could feel the improvement in her studies. As the school year has progressed, Marsha was quick to utilize the areas Vyla was working on in school, as well as testing her on her spelling, math, and reading. Marsha is kind, patient, and very accommodating. She is willing to work with your schedule, and is flexible provided you keep in communication with her. She wants to work with children, and you can tell she cares - she cares about their wellbeing, education and self-esteem, which is very refreshing. We are very happy we found Marsha, and intend to keep working with her for the rest of the school year, and hopefully next year as well! We completely recommend and appreciate Marsha, who is truly a friendly, experienced and professional tutor. Thank you!

I chose this learning center because it was presented as an inclusive environment for…read moreneurodivergent children. After more than a year of consistent effort, communication, and trying to make things work, I ultimately did not feel that the level of support or collaboration matched what my children needed. My 9-year-old daughter repeatedly shared that she struggled to be included during group activities. She often said she would ask to join and was denied, or she would tell a teacher and was told they would "talk to the other kids," but the situation continued without follow-through. Over time, she began telling me she didn't want to ask anymore because it felt pointless. As a parent, it is my responsibility to advocate for my children, and I brought these concerns to the staff and director multiple times. I also observed patterns of certain children consistently sticking together while others were left out. Although I understand that friendships form naturally, I expected staff to guide inclusive interactions--especially in a program that emphasizes social learning. Instead, I was told that I was "asking for too much." There was also a situation where another child's teasing left my daughter in tears. When I asked how these situations were handled, I was told it was typical behavior. While disagreements and conflicts do happen between children, I expected more structured intervention and support in line with the center's stated values. I also noticed my daughter regularly sitting alone during snack time while other children clustered together. When I pointed this out as an opportunity to encourage inclusive social behavior, the response I received was that children simply sit where they choose. While this is true I felt the situation highlighted an ongoing lack of guided support. Also where director Nancy had my daughter sit alone and when my daughter said she wanted to sit with the girls she was scolded "it doesn't matter!". A social-skills supervisor who observed my daughter noted that staff might benefit from additional training on how to support neurodivergent students, which reflected my own experiences. My son also encountered challenges. He was disenrolled due to behavior concerns, and I took every step requested by the center to secure additional support so he could return. Even with outside support staff present, I did not see the level of engagement or consistency needed for him to participate successfully. Throughout the year, I made multiple attempts to collaborate and offer constructive feedback. Based on my interactions, I did not feel that feedback was well-received or that my concerns were taken seriously. As a parent of neurodivergent children, advocating for them is essential, and I did not feel the partnership I hoped for was present. While this center may work well for some families (only for the families they personally know), it did not align with our needs or the level of support I expect in an environment that promotes itself as inclusive. I know what culture and values I want for my children and this is not it

We went for a tour and knew right away this is the perfect place for him. They have a great playground with all kinds of things for kids to do. The staff is absolutely awesome and really invest a lot of time and energy getting to know the kids and the things that motivates them. They also talk to me regularly to see how my son's learning is going at home which I greatly appreciate. He loves going there and has made so many friends. I wish I could send him every day! He is also learning so much and his confidence has improved. I cannot recommend them enough. It it truly a magical place!

The growth I've seen academically and in his confidence has been truly remarkable. During every ongoing conference, the staff consistently provides detailed updates on how Sebastian is learning and how engaged he is during his sessions. They do a great job communicating exactly what he is working on and how he is progressing. The teachers regularly share feedback on his skill development, especially in reading. They encourage him to sound out words he doesn't know, then read passages with him after his attempt to ensure he fully understands the material before answering questions. What I appreciate most is how supportive and encouraging the staff is. They always reward Sebastian for his efforts, reinforce positive behavior, and work to build his confidence. He is constantly reminded to keep up the good work and reassured that he is doing well, which has made a huge difference in his motivation. Sylvan has been an amazing support system for Sebastian, and I am very grateful for the dedication, communication, and care they provide. I highly recommend Sylvan Learning Center in Northridge to any parent looking to see real growth and confidence in their child.

She has always been self-motivated, but this program further strengthened her independence and ability to learn in a structured environment.

I have nothing but incredible things to say about Little Acorns Grow! As a first time mom I toured…read more11 daycares and interviewed 6 nannies in the area and ultimately decided to send my 5 month old to LAG with zero regrets. The teachers in the infant room were some of the most warm, welcoming, and wonderful women I know. I genuinely felt like they loved my daughter and knowing she was in such caring hands every day meant so much to me. When picking a daycare you can go somewhere that is simply just going to keep your child's needs met, or you can go somewhere that your child can actually grow. The latter is LAG. There were specific times for activities, music class, snack time, outside time, etc. Even at a young age I noticed the difference in my daughter after her being at LAG. The facility itself is so well-kept. The classrooms are clean, not overwhelming with too many toys or screens or colors, and they have a beautiful outdoor area as well. We unfortunately had to withdraw our daughter from LAG recently because we are relocating to a new area and trust me when I say it was the hardest and saddest decision to make. LAG is such a special place and we feel so lucky our daughter got to attend here.

At first, I thought the parking lot was plain, but as soon as I stepped inside, it was a whole different world! Definetly worth to visit on a tour. I absolutely loved the play yard. They have two main outdoor areas: one for the little kids and another for the older ones. Plus, they have a garden where they plant vegetables and strawberries, and there's plenty of shade everywhere. It's truly a lovely space. The outdoor play area immediately made me feel happy, and I knew this was the place I wanted my kids to be. My daughter attended from ages 2 to 4, and now my son has started at 2 years old. LAC also has an infant center, which looks wonderful! I seen parents taking off their shoes in the infant center, keeping it extra clean! Last year, they did a bunch of new updates in all classrooms and bathrooms. The classrooms are nice and well-maintained. I especially loved Ms. Priscilla, Ms. Joan, and Mrs. Shannon. And if you need anything, ask for Leilany in the office, she's super nice and always helpful. I highly recommend Little Acorns Grow to any parent looking for a nice, clean, beautiful and outdoorsy daycare!
