Lyric Preschool has been such a godsend for my child and my family. It's a year round school that is consistent and reliable. The teachers are incredibly patient, loving and provide wonderful educational nourishment. My daughter comes home with a smile on her face and stories of everything she did that day. She developed such meaningful early friendships. They do arts and crafts galore. How they get my little one to nap is still a wonder to me. They put together such thoughtful portfolios and meaningful Holiday, Mother's and Father's Day activities. We also love the once a month KPNO (Kids & Parents Night Out). Kids contained! Parents Play! As they often say, "the days are long but the years are short." I will treasure the days of picking up my daughter from Lyric and the milestones she accomplished in such a short amount of time. Thank you to all the teachers for your energy, love and simply everything you do to nourish these young minds every day. We appreciate you. read more

The most diverse school you can find in the area. The owner and the staffs are all so super nice and my kid loves to go to school everyday!

My son went to Lyric Preschool for a year and he loved it, as did we. His teacher's in the Teddy Bear class--Miss Kim, Ms. Mari, and Ms. Christina--were beyond wonderful. We could feel the love they held for the children and for their work. They helped him through potty training and napping difficulties. My son thrived there and loved the morning songs, stories they read, fun seasonal events (circus day was one of his favorites), and everyday artwork they made. We only switched him because we moved to San Francisco. We'll always remember my son's time at Lyric Preschool with great fondness. read more

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. read more

My granddaughter James started here a few months ago and loves it (sometimes cries because she doesn't want to leave) love hearing this!! Thanks to all who are doing great work in providing a loving environment for our Kids! Mimah is so grateful to you all! read more

We absolutely loved our time at Lyric. We were in town for only 10 weeks because my husband was doing an internship. First off, they were willing to take us for just the 10 weeks! We didn't have to deal with waitlists and interview processes - they made space and were so friendly and accomodating. Not only that, but the quality of care was wonderful as well. Our son had such a fun tim - for the summer program, they gave the kids plenty of playtime outside (they have a huge sandbox play area!) and every day it seemed like we were getting to see cool art and craft projects that had been completed. The atmosphere was very loving and I would enroll again in a heartbeat if I could! read more

We are so fortunate to find this gem in Silver Lake. My son went to Lyric School from 2 and a half to 4 years old. We only had to change school because we are moving away from the area, but we still miss Lyric a lot! The center director Mr Curtis created a family like environment. All the teachers, kids and parents form a unique bond together and create a great environment for kids to grow. We like their play-based program. Kids learns a lot about socializing through playing. They always brought home all kinds of crafts, colorings and writings. And my favorite ones are printed photos of our child decorated in their weekly themes. I feel that every child gets a lot individual attention here from the teachers so they can progress at their own pace. It's just such a great place for kids to grow. read more

I love Lyric Preschool. It has been a blessing to have been a part of this family. Not only was I a teacher here but I also had the opportunity to have my kids here and eat Mr. Curti's delicious foods. My favorite adobo chicken, rice and corn. The kids love this so much too. Thank you Lyric Family for being a difference in my family and my life. Love you so much. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Lyric is great. The teachers are bright, caring, and full of energy and the staff is beyond accommodating. We use their drop-in services (via BUMO care) to cover the gaps when our preschool is closed and it has been such a help for our family. The only reason I didn't send my daughter here full-time is because I didn't know about it. Like so many things in LA, it's hard to tell what's going on from the street, but they have a large clean facility and a big shaded yard. Thank you Lyric! read more

Wonderful daycare for our child who learned so much at this preschool. Curtis is very kind and patient, and seems to love all the kids. Staff seem well supported! read more

We love Lyric Preschool. I'm so happy we found this school. I did extensive research for preschool in the area, went to tours, and some of them even have an interview for a preschool. We decided to come here because Mr. Curtis make us feel that our son would be in a great hands. All the teachers here are amazing. My first son graduated last year and still says he misses Lyric. He is now in kinder and all he learned from lyric helps him a lot in the current school, not only academics also social skills and manners. My little ones loves their school and never give me a fuss about going to school. read more

We love Lyric Preschool!! Our son was at Lyric from From age 3-6, and he had the best experience there. The director, Mr. Curtis is so caring and brings such a great energy into the day with his fun personality and the way he is with the kids. Ms KC is a phenomenal educator and is fills the day with fun activities, lots of love and kindness, she is an intuitive and thoughtful person, and was a great match for our son and all of his needs. All of the teachers at Lyric were amazing, and our now kindergartener still longs for his preschool days. Lyric preschool felt more like a family than a school, and I really could not reccommend them enough. In addition, the facitility is very clean, well organized and welcoming. read more

This is an amazing school and we had the best experience compared to our prior preschools. We are so happy we made the decision to enroll our son here, he has learned so much and is so happy. The staff is so dedicated and simply love what they do, and it reflects on the students. Also COVID protocols are followed strictly, we felt very safe attending. Our son didn't want to leave (and we were sad to leave too!) but we will be back for visits as the Lyric teachers and staff feel like family. Don't hesitate to consider Lyric! read more

This preschool is amazing!!! The director is the kindest director ever. He has such a good heart and he is very friendly! He manage his preschool with passion. He definitely loves his job. The teachers are loving and have lots of consideration for the children. My kids considerate them like family. They get the children ready for kindergarten and they also play a lot, do lots of Art. The place is gorgeous with slide, swings, monkey bars...And they have lots of shade which is great during summer time. I wish my kids could stay there forever! read more

The most amazing preschool ever. We were so fortunate to have found such a gem in this neighborhood. The teachers are super caring and loving. Both my kids attended lyric since age 2 to kinder. Very emotional and sad experience when the kids grow up and move on. Mr. Curtis is so awesome. All the kids love him and he plays the piano for them. All the teachers are very artistic and creative, which I LOVE. Both my kids language and verbal skills are excellent. My kids came out of the school loving, kind, very creative and articulate in communication skills. It's also a very clean school. My kids barely got sick here. My daughter was at a few other preschools before we found this and there she was sick constantly. read more

Best preschool in the world! Our son loved this preschool, the teachers and attentive, compassionate and nurturing. Not to mention the director who is amazing and ensures all kids are well taken care of. The teachers will provide updates throughout the day along with pictures through the easy to follow app, which as a parent is incredibly reassuring but also a great way to know how your child's day is going. The school is very communicative and you feel involved as a parent, knowing that you child is in good hands. They have two fun play yards, separated by class, along with very clean classrooms. The staff is happy and genuinely cares about the children. They will all go the extra mile for your child. If you are considering Lyric, don't wait any longer and sign your child up! read more

My daughter has been going to Lyric for nearly a year now and she loves it. We love it. My husband and I were looking for a place that was fun for our daughter, and that we trusted. I have never doubted the care that my daughter receives and it has really helped her come out of her shell. The ratio of kids to teachers is great, and they make great crafts every single day. She's learning, but she is having a lot of fun while she is doing it. Mr. Curtis is amazing and we are actually very sad that because we have moved, and my daughter can no longer attend the school. I don't know how I will ever find a school as great as this. I thought the least I could do was let others know how much we loved this place. I recommend going and checking it out. We fell in love with it instantly, and I'm sure you will to. read more

I was a former student at Lyric preschool, and now my daughter goes there. As soon as it came time to decide on where to place her for preschool I immediately knew Lyric was the only place I would feel 100% happy and confident in. As a grown woman today, I can still clearly remember all of the AMAZING projects and fun activities we did, 22 years later! They have home cooked meals for the kids and encourage nothing but healty foods! My daughter has progressed soooo much since she started Lyric, and has learned her colors too! She is 3 years old, but can speak clear full sentences like a 5 year old! I highly recommend Lyric, they have a amazing staff and really, genuinely care about the kids as individuals. Their small sized classes really provide the kids with one on one attention and makes it much easier for them to learn and take in all the new fun things they teach them! Lyric continues to impress me, and my family. read more

My daughter chloe went to lyric pre-school from age 2-5. We loved it there. The staff is friendly, attentive, they use kind discipline, and Mr. Curtis the director is Awesome! The kids have a blast there. All kinds of activities and a great playground. There's early learning time as well. Home cooked meals daily for the kids. There's always something yummy cooking in the kitchen. It's just a wonderful environment for early socialization for your child. read more

I know how difficult it can be to leave your child with complete strangers, but at Lyric Preschool it feels more like a family. The director, teachers, and T.A.'s are so loving, patient, and caring that I don't hesitate to drop my son off or worry about him during the day. He looks forward to going to school and LOVES it there! Not only does he learn how to socialize with his peers, but he also learns academic skills and behavior that will set him up for success in kindergarten. There are weekly themes and everyday they learn something new and bring home fun art projects. His teacher is also very attentive to each child's needs and learning styles. I highly recommend this preschool if you live in the area, but if you don't, it's worth the drive! read more

Our family's experience with Lyric preschool has been a wonderful one. We couldn't have imagined a better place for our children to attend preschool. They loved their time there and still talk about it with such delight. Lyric is a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. The space is creative and inviting. The teachers prepare the children for kindergarten academically and socially. Mr. Curtis (the school director) is a kind, funny, and caring man. He has been there for years and has even had parents that attended the school bring their children there. We can't say enough good things about Lyric. Your child will be very happy here! read more

The Mr. Rogers of Silver Lake! Mr. Curtis has been able to create the pinnacle of early childhood education - you'll find no better preschool to send your child to. read more

Both of our sons attended Lyric school over the course of the last 2+ years. We have loved every minute. Our sons thrived both emotionally and developmentally while they attended Lyric. When I dropped them off every day, I always knew they would be expertly cared for. The staff lead by the director Mr. Curtis are kind, educated, caring and responsive. We have unfortunately moved out of the area and we will miss Lyric very much. I would encourage any prospective parent to enroll their child at Lyric preschool- it is a true gem! read more

I currently have my daughter enrolled at this school and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the management, teachers and the facilities. My four year old daughter looks forward to school every day and she comes home tired and happy. We applied for many but we are sure happy this is the one that opened first. We plan on having our daughter go to school here until she is eligible for kindergarten. I give this school my best recommendation and if you live in the area with kids, you owe it to yourself and your child to go give this school a look. read more

My son loves the school and with their help, he's become quite the chatter box. This is the boy who started with 10 words! I like the fact that he gets a lot of chances to make choices and then other times of structure. We get a lot of feedback about his development. I'm so glad the Lyric Family is part of our family. :) read more

Wonderful preschool and great staff. Highly recommend this place. Our daughter loved her school and we were sad that we had to find a different one because we moved out of the area. Thanks for the memories Lyric! read more

This school is amazing. A true family experience. It starts from the casual coolness of Director/owner of school Curtis. Just a good dude that I trust implicitly with my boys. I knew him through a family friend that has known him for 50 years...he is caring, gracious and obviously loves what he does. The entire staff could not be more well suited for child care. Loving and playful. This is not a hipster Pre k. This is the pre k we had as children of the 70's. My boys leave happy each and everyday. Don't walk run those little feet here!!! To be clear, no one asked me to write this review...unlike some other pre k schools in the area. So I've heard. :) read more

I am very surprise how some of the parents are very happy with the diet they feed their children at lyric preschool. They served them pre-made process food. Sometimes a lot of sugar. Home cook meal? and healthy food? Last time I check they serve children a can pineapple and for afternoon snack they gave them goldfish cheese snack witch pack with unhealthy calories and most likely GMO. I can see why the parents are so happy because you dont have to worry about packing their kids lunches. I have much more negative things to say about this school but I am not going to go crazy in this yelp box. If you like the school send your kid there but me personally I have been telling friends and family that is the worse place to send your kid. They should call that place a daycare not preschool. read more

I have had 3 children attend Lyric and they have all absolutely loved it. The kids have so much fun while learning a lot. The teachers and the staff are wonderful and my children never wanted to miss a day! The art projects they do throughout the year are creative and really clever as well as educational. I continue to be impressed! read more

Lyric is a wonderful, warm, and nurturing environment for toddlers. They go out of their way to make sure each child feels loved and safe - and isn't that the most important thing at this age, from the child's perspective? At age two, there is nowhere else my child could be dropped off without throwing a fit. We looked around at a lot of preschools, many nice preschools, but there was a rigidity and coldness that made me question, "could my son fit in here?" That wasn't a question at Lyric. It wasn't about him fitting into their environment; the question, instead, was "how can we make him feel welcome here?" Lyric made him feel loved and safe. He has been thriving there ever since. He plays all day, learns how to cooperate with others with directed supervision, and always gets a hot meal with plenty of snacks! Mr. Curtis, the director, is so generous with the kids. We love it there. read more
