The teachers--Miss Danika, Miss Jennifer, Miss Stephanie, Miss Evelyn, Miss Sarah, and many others--were all very sweet to him. They took such good care of him and always made him feel special. We loved the good balance of indoor activities like art and play, along with plenty of outdoor time on their nice playground, including soccer. They put on fun events like the foam party, summer water play, a recent petting zoo, and trunk or treat. Special touches included root beer floats with dads on Father's Day and muffins with moms on Mother's Day. Our son made lots of friends there, and we always felt he was safe thanks to the video cameras on the app and the secure sign-in and sign-out process. They also offered parent night outs with movies and cookie baking, which gave us a couple of date nights. The food was good with breakfast, lunch, and snacks, and the kids sang songs together. We're so grateful for the care and joy he received, and we'll miss this place as he heads off to TK.

You can tell how much the director Ms. Shannon loves this school and all the staff and kids. We started our two girls here this summer before school started to get them transitioned in. They absolutely love the school and all the teachers and their friends there. Our two year old is in with Ms. D and our 4 year is in with Mrs. Amanda and Ms. Ruthie and they both love their teachers. Honestly we love all the staff they are always so sweet with our girls and saying good morning and bye to them and so welcoming especially their first few weeks when they were sad at drop off. They now can't wait to go to school each day. Everyone is so caring and attentive and we honestly couldn't have found a better spot for the girls. Highly recommend!

My daughter not only learnt her letters and numbers but also how to be kind and respectful, how to help around the house as well as a little Spanish and Mandarin. We have built life long friendships with other parents(and teachers) and I can't wait to send my twin girls as soon as they are old enough to join the school.

We are so happy with this school for our kids…read more Our son was treated so well that we did not hesitate to send his younger sister there. If you are looking for a preschool where the teachers care and they all feel like family, this place is it!

It's also easy to get to since it is near the 23 freeway and sunset hills. It's easy to get back on the freeway to/from work. We are so glad this place exists and feel so lucky to send our daughter here. I strongly recommend this place for preschool!! It is the best in the area.

We had a wonderful experience at Temple Etz Chaim (TEC). I'd like to start by saying that no…read moredaycare or preschool is perfect--every school will have occasional challenges. What sets TEC apart is how well it is managed. They have been educating young children for many years, and that experience is evident in every aspect of the program. The campus is spacious, with multiple playgrounds that the children rotate through, giving them plenty of variety and opportunities for outdoor play. The school also offers several on-campus extracurricular activities that families can enroll in, and music class is included with tuition. My daughters participated in dance, gymnastics, and soccer, and absolutely loved every one of them. They were constantly engaged, excited to go to school, and never bored. Academically, I was incredibly impressed. My girls learned so much--from the alphabet, colors, shapes, and animals to songs, early math concepts, and social skills. They came home almost every day with art projects and classroom activities, so I always knew what they were learning and felt confident they were spending their days engaged in meaningful, enriching activities. As a mixed-faith family, we also appreciated that our children learned about Israel and Jewish traditions. It was incorporated thoughtfully into the curriculum without overshadowing everything else. I would estimate it made up about 10-20% of what they learned, which felt like a great balance for our family. The teachers truly made the experience exceptional. Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Maddie, Ms. Jamie, Ms. Fabi, Ms. Rachel, and Ms. Alyssa genuinely cared about the children and created warm, nurturing classrooms where the kids could thrive. Their dedication was obvious every day. The administration deserves recognition as well. Ms. Debbie, Ms. Keri, and Ms. Jessica consistently went above and beyond to keep the school running smoothly. They were always responsive, professional, and willing to help whenever we had a question or request. Their hard work does not go unnoticed, and I know many parents appreciate everything they do behind the scenes. Like any school, there were a few areas that could be improved. The no meat or chicken policy made packing lunches more challenging than I would have liked, and there was some teacher turnover during our time there. However, teacher turnover is something we've encountered at other schools as well, so I don't believe that's unique to TEC. I was also excited to hear that the school is reducing class sizes to 12 students starting this year. I think that is a fantastic change that will make an already strong program even better. Overall, TEC provided our daughters with a safe, loving, stimulating, and educational environment. They formed wonderful friendships, gained confidence, and developed a genuine love of learning. We are incredibly grateful for our time there and would happily recommend Temple Etz Chaim to other families looking for a high-quality preschool.

My son has made wonderful friendships with children who have grown right alongside him, and it has been amazing to watch. The teachers put so much heart, dedication, and genuine care into what they do every day, and it shows. A special thank you to Miss Jonnay! She has been an incredible teacher to my son, and I am so grateful for the care and attention she gives him. She keeps me updated, celebrates his successes, and truly understands him. Over the last couple of months, I've seen such a big change in him, he's grown in confidence, understanding, and independence. It means so much to have someone who spends her days with him, notices these milestones, and genuinely cares about his development. The support she provides feels like having a second mother in his corner. Miss Tressa has created such a special place for children to learn, explore, and experience their first years of education. This school is truly a hidden gem, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found it and to be part of this community. If you're considering this school, I encourage you to visit and meet the staff. You'll quickly see how passionate, caring, and dedicated they are. We couldn't be more grateful for the love and support our family has received here.

Editing to recognize certain teachers:…read more I have gone back and forth for over a year about writing this review. Parents deserve to know what we experienced before trusting this school with their children. Our experience started off well. Like every daycare, there were minor issues here and there, and we gave the school grace because no childcare center is perfect. The problem wasn't that mistakes happened. The problem was that the mistakes kept getting more serious, and every concern was met with excuses, denial, or an attempt to make us feel like we were overreacting. Looking back, I wish I had trusted my instincts and left much sooner. One of our first major concerns happened in the infant room. My daughter came home with bleach stains all over her pants. The teacher admitted they had sprayed bleach on her high chair, forgot to wipe it down, and then placed my infant in it. That should never happen. Then came something even more alarming. I picked up my infant one afternoon, and she screamed hysterically from hunger the entire drive home. I checked Brightwheel because I assumed someone had simply forgotten to log her bottles. Instead, I discovered there were no bottle entries because they had not fed her formula all day. Not a missed log..a missed feeding. As a parent, that is terrifying. Then there were the coyote issues. Coyotes were coming right up to the school fence and parents even photographed a coyote standing right outside the children's fence (see attached). Tressa's response? Cayenne pepper around the perimeter. It took months of parents pushing before only one small section of fencing was raised. To this day, much of the fence remains low. Another issue involved mold. The children's play couch had mold covering the bottom. Rather than simply acknowledging the problem and informing parents of mold exposure, the initial response was that it "might be black paint." Parents know what mold looks like. Cleanliness was another ongoing concern. My children routinely came home with dried food on their faces, dirty hands, and crusted noses. This wasn't dirt from outdoor play. They simply weren't being cleaned throughout the day. My children were constantly sick while attending this school. The final straw was something I still cannot believe happened. My daughter came home wearing the exact same diaper I put on her that morning. It was soaked, sagging, cold, and hanging to her knees. I immediately contacted Tressa. Rather than investigating what happened, her first response was that another child also wore Coterie diapers and the teachers must have accidentally used someone else's diaper. That explanation fell apart almost immediately. Coterie prints a unique quality-control code on every diaper in a package. The diaper my daughter came home wearing had the exact same code as the open package sitting in my house. It was the diaper I put on her that morning. Only after I sent photographs proving it did the apologies begin. That was the day I reported the school to Community Care Licensing. Despite all of this, I want to recognize the people who made our experience better. Ms. Chandler, Ms. Jonnay, Ms. Jenn, and Ms. Debbie are wonderful educators who genuinely love children, and my daughters adored them. I also want to acknowledge that my daughters loved Ms. Tressa as well. My criticism is not about whether Tressa cares about children. I believe she does. My criticism is about leadership. Running a preschool requires more than caring about kids. It requires accountability, transparency, and the ability to admit when something went wrong and fix it. Instead, I consistently felt dismissed. Concerns were minimized. Excuses came before accountability. I was repeatedly made to feel like I was simply a difficult parent for raising legitimate health and safety concerns. An experienced director once worked at the school and made noticeable improvements because she accepted responsibility and addressed problems head-on. I truly believe the school would benefit tremendously from hiring an experienced director and allowing that person to manage the day-to-day operations. Tressa, if you're reading this, this review isn't being written because mistakes happened. Every school makes mistakes. This review exists because of how those mistakes were handled. Your response to concerns was almost always to deny, minimize, or explain them away instead of simply acknowledging them and making meaningful changes. My daughters are thriving at their new school. Every teacher they've had at ANY school has described them as kind, respectful, and a joy to have in class. They weren't the problem. I wasn't the problem. Parents raising concerns about children's health and safety are not the problem. I sincerely hope this school improves because the children deserve it. But until accountability becomes a priority, I cannot recommend that families entrust their children to this daycare.
