Camelot rents out for parties on weekends, and from what I understand, the base fee is pretty reasonable, and you can add on from a whole menu of entertainment options. We went for a 5th birthday and it was a pretty ideal venue, with tons of space, all of it outdoors. There was a covered area with tables for food and drink and cake time, as well as a huge playground with lots of equipment. I tend to judge kid party venues by how little I have to watch my own kid, and this one was top tier, safe and confined. Well, except for the train ride, which felt kind of wild, but was also my son's favorite part of the party. I guess Camelot works with a company that brings a mini-train for parties, and the kids went nuts for it. I stood in the parking lot watching that train loop around for a full hour, swerving and doing donuts to make the children giggle and scream and occasionally break out in tears. My son rode it something like ten times. He spent the rest of the time running around the playground, with brief, emotional interludes for cake and piñata (he was absolutely terrible at picking up piñata candy, just the slowest little guy, with my genes imprisoning his whole body). We stayed for three hours, and he did not want to leave. I don't know how Camelot Kids is as a pre-school (though if you have any appetite for gossip, you will not be sorry to read this: https://www.jezebel.com/the-story-and-nightmare-emails-behind-one-elite-silver-1741632103), but we were happy to visit for an afternoon. If you're looking to host a party for small children, it's definitely worth checking out.

Jennifer came to my house and showed me how to do it right immediately!! 10000% an expert, hands on, practical and super responsive to any additional questions. She also routinely reached out to me to check in and make sure we were doing well. I am recommending her to anyone I know. Super easy to make appointments with and very punctual which you will definitely appreciate when your baby is young and nurses frequently. I even texted her months after our sessions ended for help with my mastitis and she was super helpful, she is a great resource!

PLEASE AVOID KATHLEEN. READ THE OTHER RECENT NEGATIVE REVIEWS. She somehow got our last review…read moreremoved. I assume she has been doing this with a lot of reviewers. Long story, short: Kathleen should not be taking care of babies at night. I'm rewriting this review because she is putting babies in danger and this could cause harm to baby. She showed up to our house after eye surgery and could barely see and walk around our house at night time. I have camera proof that she fell asleep with our baby in her arms as well. After that, she refused to give back our deposit and took all our money. She claimed it didn't apply because the deposit was applied to the substitute. What a scam of a lady. Putting babies in danger and taking new parents money. Please do not use Kathleen for night nanny/doula services.

I am writing this review after giving it months to process- we hired Kathleen after an incredibly…read morestressful and horrible situation where our infant nearly died in the middle of the night and we were not sure we would ever sleep again due to the trauma of that. Kathleen was very responsive when I called initially and continued to check on us when we were in the hospital. I thought that was a good sign - but we couldn't have been more disappointed with the outcome and fired her after two nights. The first night she showed up she made fun of the way I swaddled sarcastically (yes, I'm sorry I don't know how to swaddle I just got my baby home from the hospital where nurses were doing it BECAUSE HE ALMOST DIED) and isn't it your job to teach me how to do those things? We should have sent her home then and there after that tone deaf sarcasm. We were desperate though. Even given the situation, Kathleen was far more concerned about how she would sleep comfortably and even had me looking for her glasses for her in the middle of the night because she couldn't find them. Wtf??? I've just been through the worst experience of my life and now I am caretaking you???? The second morning after she left the baby's diaper was falling off, the place was a mess including her crackers under the couch, even though we didn't have anyone else lined up we had to let her go. I was going to refrain on writing a review as she did send me an apology note and mentioned she was too old for the night jobs anymore and would be transitioning into education only (yes, 100%, should not be in charge of nighttime infant care) but for some reason I decided to look her up on here and I see she is or course taking those jobs still. I feel the need to note my experience and forewarn anyone else considering hiring her that she has the bedside manner of a screeching Tasmanian devil and to be frank my baby would probably be dead if we had hired her before the event. I'm shaking writing this because it is just that upsetting . Oh , and after finding out I was a hairdresser, on night two she was ASKING ME WHEN I COULD DO HER HAIR . ????????????????????????? Excuse me I just had major surgery, my baby almost died, I'm clearly not well and taking maternity leave as long as I can, and you are really asking me that? I also had a musical healing mantra playing in the room for my baby and she said "she wanted to blow it up". I think I've painted the picture for you- I would recommend running far away from this one. The lack of professionalism is enough, but she's also quite possibly a smoker-she smelled like febreze over cigarettes- which is a HUGE Nono around babies. This is all extremely dangerous and I really don't want anyone else to have the experience that we did.

What I love best about Fit4Mom is the real community and the other great mommies you meet here. We all have similar health goals and we know how hard it is to achieve that with babies/toddlers.

All the teachers and staff are top-notch and so sweet. Our kid loves coming here, and I know that she is safe and well cared for. It's clean, organized, and professional. The teachers give you a rundown every day of meals, naps, photos, activities, etc. and do lessons, arts n' crafts, music time, etc. with the kids. There's a little outdoor area where the kids play. They provide diapers. It's all wonderful. If we could swing it with our schedules, I'd put our kid in here full-time! A few things to consider about the Hollywood location: 1) Parking when doing drop-offs and pick-ups can be a little hectic at peak times. Lots of cars navigating down the street. 2) Sometimes parking enforcement lurks close by -- so do a quick check if you're parking in a no parking zone for a quick drop-off. (Yes, I have gotten a ticket before.) Even if you see every other caregiver/parent parking in a no parking zone, you still might get a ticket if you do the same. If there are a ton of pick-ups happening, I think it's less likely they'll ticket just you, but if there aren't a lot of cars, just be on the look out! 3) I know what you're thinking: "Well, I won't be an idiot like you and park in a no parking zone." You'll see the allure of parking in these no parking zones when there are no other close by spots to drop off or pick up your kid. Basically, watch out for parking enforcement nearby! 4) You have to pack your own lunch and snacks or buy lunch or snacks there. Which is fine! But some other daycares provide their own meals. I think that would be tricky with the Brella program though, as it's a pay-by-the-hour system. 5) The Early Bird program is the only sure way to get consistent hours for your kid every month. Once you're on that list, you're set. There is a waitlist (usually). Otherwise, the spots fill up fast and it's nearly impossible to book a routine schedule. 6) There is no 6. I just want to say again how excellent the staff and teachers are at this facility. The end.

Our Honest Experience with Brella After 6 Months…read more After six months at Brella, and now that we've found a new daycare, I wanted to share our honest experience. Booking Brella uses an app for monthly childcare bookings, which open on the 20th at 10 a.m. For the past three months, the app has frozen during booking time, leaving my husband and me spending hours trying to secure spots for our son. Honestly, it's easier to get tickets to a Beyoncé or Taylor Swift concert than to book childcare at Brella. Dependability While Brella advertises full-time childcare flexibility, that hasn't been our experience. For the last three months, we've been waitlisted at least two days each week--for example, every Monday and Tuesday in November. After repeatedly asking in October, we were finally taken off the waitlist, but the inconsistency has been stressful. They also offer "early booking," which we requested access to, only to be told we were waitlisted for that as well. For working parents, this level of unpredictability makes Brella an unreliable option. We've had to use PTO or ask our in-laws to drive over two hours just to help cover childcare gaps. Quality and Communication Several of our favorite teachers have been let go, which was disappointing. Brella is also supposed to send daily photos and lesson plans, but there are days we receive no updates--or just a single photo of the back of our son's head. Overall For such a premium-priced childcare option, Brella has significant issues to address--from booking reliability to staffing and communication. While there are aspects we appreciated early on, it ultimately wasn't dependable enough for our family's needs.

Koreans take postpartum care very seriously because we believe it can impact your health long-term,…read moreso spending my first two weeks at a postpartum care center was an absolute must for me. I found Zette through a close friend who had stayed there twice and loved both experiences. I checked in three days postpartum, and Zette was exactly what I needed to recover after 30+ hours of labor that ended in a C-section. The incredible staff provided round-the-clock care for my newborn, allowing me to truly rest. They taught me the basics of newborn care as a first-time mom, which gave me some confidence before I went home. Most importantly, the food was nutritious and delicious that I cleared every tray, which I believe helped my milk supply. The atmosphere is very cozy and relaxing, and every staff member genuinely cared for my baby like their own. Honestly, the entire team was an absolute godsend. I'm grateful I chose Zette and would definitely return for my next baby!

It was especially meaningful to see some of the same 선생님들 again this time around. I'm so grateful I found Zette and had the opportunity to experience it twice with both of my babies. Having a comfortable place where I could focus on recovering and bonding with my newborn made such a big difference. Highly recommend Zette to any mom looking for a postpartum care center in Los Angeles!
