6 Lyric Pre-School kids in a soccer team together. So priceless. =)
Nixon V.

We LOVE this school! All of the teachers and staff are very warm and friendly. My first son graduated from Lyric and missed all of the teachers. The social skills and education he gained here allowed him to become a better student at his current elementary school. My second son now attends the 3-year-old Sun Shine program, and is flourishing! A few of my favorite things about the school are how nurturing the teachers, the multiple play yards, the early drop-off / late pick-up options, creative activities, potty training assistance, parents participation, and can't forget "PARENTS NIGHT OUT"! We've searched around the area for a proper pre-school that will match our needs and assist us with the physical and educational growth of our kids. We are so thankful for Lyric Pre-School, this place is such a "GEM" in our community. I will always recommend this pre-school to all of our friends and future parents. **NOTE** 6 of the Lyric Pre-School kids became best friends which lead to playing soccer together as a team.

You do get what you pay for! At Lyric Pre-School your child will learn so much. I previously had my son in daycare (wayyy cheaper than Lyric) and once I decided to switch him over to Lyric (to prepare him for kinder), I was impressed at the rate of education and progress my son has shown. Lyric Pre-School is a pretty penny, but it's well worth the monthly tuition I pay for my son's education. Curtis, the owner, prepares hot meal lunches from SCRATCH everyday (included in the tuition), there's play time, music time, learning time, nap time, lunch, etc all rolled into a day. Curtis also plays the piano for the kids to sing and dance to. My son's current teacher Ms. Roxann is also nice and friendly. Overall, every member of Lyric's teachers and adult monitors are well-vetted by Curtis and all seem so nice, patient and sweet. I am 110% happy that I moved my son over to Lyric to prepare him for Franklin Ave Elementary. If you're in doubt, walk into Lyric and speak with Curtis or another teacher. I'm sure you can't just read a Yelp review and make a decision on your child's education. Check out Lyric though, Curtis has an open door policy and there's no need to make an appointment or sign up for a meeting or school tour or wait for an opening.

We are so incredibly fortunate to have found a school like Lyric Preschool. Mr. Curtis from the beginning has always been so kind-hearted and personable. Before we enrolled our son, he gave us a wonderful tour of the preschool, and we instantly felt that the children here were happy, thriving, and very considerate. They were so sweet and kept coming up to our son, partially out of curiosity but it really made him very comfortable. We felt like Lyric would be the right place for us. And boy were we right :). Our son entered the school when he was 2 years and 2 months old. We had a newborn at the time, and the teachers helped tremendously with the transition into a new environment. When he had his bad days, they knew how to make him happy! They also were super encouraging during the process of potty training! And his vocabulary grew tremendously. We also feel that our son felt comfortable expressing himself and his feelings. I can't emphasize enough how much the teachers at this school go above and beyond. Our family loves each and every one of them. They are loving, playful, attentive, and really help our little one thrive. They understand and encourage the nuances in the different ways these little individuals communicate and respect the different personalities of each student. They are very engaging and nurturing and supportive. And, they still ensure that rules are adhered to and great structure is provided. They really are instrumental in the development and well-being of our child. Our second son is excited to attend this school as well. He visits once in a while. As a parent, it brings me so much joy and comfort seeing all the updates (videos, photos, and messages) I get throughout the day on the preschool app. I love seeing my son's smiley face and hearing him giggle with his friends, and I appreciate everything that the teachers do to make sure we feel connected with our son while we are at work. My friends that send their kids to other preschools are low-key jealous that we get so many fun photos and videos. And the creativity and fun that comes out of the teachers' brains!!! I just love the activities and events that they plan for the kids: Circus day with games, face painting, and prizes, the Easter egg hunt extravaganza, a Starbucks and Disneyland themed Halloween event, and all the singing and dancing that goes on behind the scenes! All the adorable photos and crafts that our son comes home with...the cuteness is just beyond! They sure know how to keep the kids productive, constantly learning, and very happy. Our son always leaves school with a smile on his face. And that's what matters the most!

We love Mr. Curtis.

See all

I owe a debt of gratitude to MAWA for the enormous leaps my kids have taken developmentally during…read moretheir time there. My eldest daughter started at MAWA when she turned three. By the time she left for kindergarten a couple of years later, she had learned songs and vocabulary in Mandarin and Spanish, was adding, subtracting, and counting into the thousands, doing CVCs, knew all the continents and planets in the solar system, learned all about the biology of humans, animals, insects, and plants, and was making all sorts of cool art projects based on famous artists in history. My other daughter is currently going to MAWA. She started when she turned two with a speech delay and in six months her confidence and speech development has been through the charts. Now, she's able to express her needs more clearly, put phrases and multiple word sentences together, imitate speech patterns, and respond to questions. It's also a game changer that MAWA coordinates with the regional center so their speech and occupational therapists can do sessions at the school to work with your child and cater to their specific developmental needs. What I appreciate most is that it never felt like the kids were just going to school, but were in an environment where they could truly thrive. One of the most rewarding things as a parent is seeing the joy and excitement on your child's face as they explain the lifecycle of a butterfly as they look at a chrysalis on a leaf, or show you the watermelon they grew from a seed in the school garden, or tell you all their favorite fruits and vegetables in Mandarin, or show you how they're able to make raisins dance through buoyancy and gas absorption. For that, I'm forever grateful to Julisa, Carla, Mireya, Esmeralda, Lupe, Gina, Sophie, Jill, Vanessa, Ruhi and all the rest of the MAWA teachers and staff. Thank you for shaping the world of my kids and many others through play.

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.

BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you end up using Michelle, it will ruin all other agencies for you…read more I am a professional career nanny. I have over seven years of nannying experience, five years of teaching experience, and more. I have a B/S in childhood development as well as my MAT. When I began my search for a nanny-family in LA, I did my due diligence by shopping around looking at multiple agencies. I found that Michelle had the TOP RATED AGENCY ON MULTIPLE SITES and wanted to take a closer look. I read through every. single. review. I thought to myself, "Really? Every single person had a positive experience with this agency? That's just not statistically possible if she's really working with this many people..." I decided to set up a meeting. I drove to her office where we met to discuss particulars (what I'm looking for, what families are in the market for a nanny right now, what ages/salary/commute/hours I'm looking for) and the moment she opened the door and greeted me with a giant smile and her upbeat, positive attitude, I felt like just working with HER was my perfect placement! Once we started the process, Michelle was completely professional while also refreshingly honest and realistic in her suggestions. She really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for and she only suggested me to families that she knew had the potential to be a "love match!" After looking at a few potential matches, Michelle called me to tell me that she had "found my family!" She said, "This is the one. Please go for an interview and see for yourself." So I did. This is the part of the review where I'm going to get annoyingly emotional. Not only did the family and I immediately "click," but Michelle had made sure that all of our stats were in alignment. The age range, schedule, amount of hours, commuting time, pay rate, expectations and needs happened to all align with what I was looking for. It was LITERALLY the PERFECT PLACEMENT!!!! Coincidence? I think not. Michelle is highly intelligent, professional, personable, understanding, diligent, experienced, communicative, and pleasantly charismatic and I owe my job satisfaction directly to her. Now that I think about it, maybe I should send over a bottle of wine. Thank you, Michelle, for just being so incredibly good at what you do. As I mentioned earlier, when I started this process, I read through every one of your (5 star) reviews and thought, "There's just no way every single review can be five stars..." and now here I am adding one more.

I met Michelle at a time when I was at a low point in my nanny career and personal life. I had…read morebeen looking for top nanny position and had been on many interviews through other agencies. It seemed like I had landed a few dream jobs only for it to slip away from me. Really trying times. Then I met Michelle! This brings a smile to my face. Meeting with her felt like chatting with a friend. I realized after that this is her skill. She loves people and wants to represent both the families and the nannies. It was a slow period and she didn't have any job opportunities at the time when I signed up with her agency, the perfect placement. After being on the hunt for my top nanny job with a kind family for many months and it wasn't happening I was getting ready to move out of state. I mentioned to Michelle that I'm no longer looking for a position as it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Michelle didn't give up on me. She called me with 2 opportunities. I went on both interviews and was called back to do a trial for the one that I wanted !! Yay !! Then Michelle negotiated some time off that I needed to take care of a health issue. The family was so wonderful they waited for me ! All I can say everything lined up perfectly. Michelle will always return your call in a timely manner and she always checks in to see how you're doing. I thank God I met Michelle !

I just moved to NYC, and I'd say the single largest heartbreak about leaving Los Angeles, my home…read morefor almost a decade wasn't leaving behind my home, my work, or anything like that. It was taking my kid away from the best daycare in the entire Los Angeles area, Happyland daycare. I'd argue to say it's the best daycare in America, but I don't want to be seen as "over the top". (that's just my personality lol.) Anyhow, all jokes aside, as a first time mother with no family on my or my husband's side in the US at all, they were my village. Not only are they extremely fairly priced, but they took the best care of my baby. She was so happy to go to daycare every single day she always giggled and clapped her hands as we pulled up to Monika's door. The second that door opens, my daughter leaps into her or Olga's arms. You can't buy this feeling of safety and security. I know this and I didn't even have such high expectations going in. I was just a tired mom, desperate for help and a spare pair of hands to help me so I could get my life back. But Monika and Olga exceeded my expectations. I had no idea that they'd make this heavy of a mark in my heart because no nanny, daycare center or service I've had since has come close to their level of care. Their amazing meals (literally the best most organic foods available in the market), the art projects they did, the friends she made, it was so smooth and low drama and honestly not replaceable at all. Nothing comes close to Happyland. I wish I could move back to LA just to be near them, but alas I understand that isn't possible because of my husband's work. So I'll just have to leave this note, as a testament from one mother, to another; if you're reading this, your baby is safe and loved with them. Please consider Happyland over anywhere else, as I know what it's like to need this peace of mind. If you're reading this Monika/olga, thank you from the bottom of my heart. We finally moved and settled in so I finally had the chance to write this, better late than never. Sending all my love, we miss you everyday and Lali still knows your names and asks about you ladies. The scrap book of her photos you made her makes us all smile and cry every single time. Best Bianca

We have only amazing things to say about Nishi Center. Our daughter has been attending for a year…read moreand the amount of care, compassion and nurturing from the teachers has been incredible. We were previously at another daycare and while it was great, we felt it was lacking in a curriculum or structure that would inspire and challenge growing minds. Nishi has been the perfect place and every day we see the amazing things our daughter learns and experiences. They have so much fun engaging with the world by going on field trips and library walks, plus the weekly art, gym and music classes are nothing short of spectacular. We feel so lucky to have found Nishi and always feel secure in our child's education and safety during this critical learning period.

But Ms. Susan, Ms. Maria, Ms. Gaby, and the whole team are so loving, that my fears melted away immediately. They made my son know that he belonged, and that they looked forward to seeing him every day. The teachers really get to know the kids, their strengths and needs, and develop an individual plan for each one to help them grow intellectually and personally. Each year, they complete an academic and social-emotional evaluation for each child, and it's amazing to see how much personal detail goes into the daily activities. The Nishi Center isn't just a school, it's a real community, both for the kids and the parents. Some of my son's classmates have parents who went to Nishi when they were kids thirty years ago, and they drive across town to give their kids the same great experience. My younger child just started at Nishi, and I'm so glad that we get to continue our relationship with this beautiful group of people in this very special community.
