    Staff is super great and informative on a daily basis and always sent pics of our student…read morethroughout the day. We miss this school all the time! The children and other parents are super friendly as well.

    My daughter attended The Learning Place for about 2 years (age 2-4). We had a wonderful experience…read morethere. We toured a few preschools but we didn't want a home daycare and some of the more institutionalized schools were incredibly expensive. The Learning Place was a nice in-between where it was more structured than a home daycare but less expensive than a more institutional school. At around $1,000 a month for 7am-6pm program we thought it was a great deal. The school has a nice outside playground with shade and cushioning a nice little playground. In our time there they did upgrade the playground to have shade and padding which was nice. Inside it is very clean and they separate the kids by age. There are two doors between the outside and the school so it is secure. They have an iPad check in and check out system. We chose the Learning Place because the director, Ms. Enereyda (Ms. E) is incredibly warm and friendly. I can't say enough positive things about Ms. E. We also liked that she speaks both Spanish and English and we could chat with her in Spanish. The other teachers like Ms. Veronica and Ms. Melina are incredibly warm and friendly as well. We always had very positive interactions with the teachers. We always felt that our daughter was in good hands at The Learning Place. I initially signed her up here because I was working in Glendale. After a year I began work somewhere else but kept her at Learning Place even though we lived in Sherman Oaks. We liked this place very much. Overall - - I highly recommend the Learning Place. We loved our 2 years there.

Our older son attended for two years…read morebefore beginning Kindergarten, and our younger son has attended for the last two years and will begin TK in the fall. We have had the best experience at Dream Big Little One and will be so sad to say goodbye! What I love most about Dream Big is the individualized attention for the students. It's a small program with two teachers. Each child is treated kindly and with respect. Mrs. Isiris and Ms. Geni are responsive to the children's needs. They help each student problem solve with their peers and teach them how to be part of the solution. Through the course of their time there, both of my children learned how to show kindness and treat others with respect. The curriculum also stands out. The day is filled with various indoor and outdoor activities. I love the STEAM based approach and the Spanish immersion. My children have learned about the weather, habitats, machines and bugs, as well as how to count in Spanish. The outdoor play varies daily and there is something new set up in the yard each morning. My kids have learned how to share, how to take turns, and how to problem solve when there is a conflict thanks to the support of Mrs. Isiris and Ms. Geni. They have also learned how to be more independent and self sufficient, such as learning how to serve themselves. The program also lays the foundation for early literacy and counting skills that the children will learn in school later one. For example, my children practiced recognizing and writing letters, counting, and looking for patterns. They also did activities to build muscle coordination that will be helpful for handwriting. The weekly and monthly activities are thoroughly planned and have varied from year to year. I can't say enough good things about this daycare and its teachers! I am so glad that my children's first experience with education made them feel valued and instilled in them a love of learning. I highly recommend Dream Big Little One Piedra Family Daycare!

    What a gem! We feel so incredibly lucky to have found an opening with this daycare. The care our…read moredaughter is receiving is spectaluar. The lesson plans are very intentional to help her development according to her age. We receive daily updates with pictures. We were initially worried about how the transition would go after being at home from 0-18 months, but she now waves us good-bye and looks forward to going to school every day. We love Dream Big Little One

    Burbank Edu-Care Preschool & Kindergarten

    We are so grateful that we found Burbank Edu-Care preschool. They are a truly amazing preschool…read morewith excellent academic instruction, dedicated and experienced teachers, and a wonderfully supportive, loving environment. The director, Marie, has worked in childcare and preschool/kindergarten education for decades. We toured different preschools and Burbank Edu-Care stood out to us for multiple reasons. It's a small, intimate environment and the premises are beautiful. They have a garden on the preschool/kindergarten grounds and grow fruits & vegetables which they use to prepare healthy, organic lunches for the children. Lunch and potty training are both included in their very reasonable tuition fees. At other schools, lunch was a separate fee and potty training was an additional fee, or you could not enroll your child if they were not potty trained to begin with. The school has an adorable "parking" area where kids can park their tricycles and push cars in front of the school (behind a secure, gated campus). The private, high-fenced gate in front of the school ensures that strangers cannot see the children from the street and that the children are not in danger of street-based traffic. My 3-year-old child loves Ms. Marie and has so much fun learning and playing with the other children. They have plenty of opportunities for art, dance, music, and sound academic fundamentals like phonics, colors, shapes, etc. My child is completely safe at this school. I am also profoundly touched that Marie has taken a very special interest in our older, autistic child and has been so understanding of our unique childcare schedule. You can tell that she truly loves the children. For Ms. Marie, this is not just a job for her or a paycheck-this is her calling and she is uniquely gifted in her ability to connect with and lovingly care for your child. The school is fully licensed, very safe, it's small, intimate, and the kids are cared for with loving attention. Other schools for small children can feel chaotic or like your kid is a number in a larger setting, but that's not the case here. There is so much comfort in knowing that your child has found his or her community and niche. You don't have to worry about all the horror stories of inexperienced caregivers around your small child. TBH-my MIL was hesitant when I told her we would enroll our little one in preschool. She warned me that some kids find it too traumatic, and maybe she's safer at home (given what she's seen on the news, etc.). We are highly protective of our children. We feel confident we made a great decision choosing Burbank Edu-Care. Given the level of care/attention given to these children (plus potty training and healthy lunches included) -the tuition is very reasonable/affordable. If you tour and call other preschools and kindergartens that are in Burbank-Burbank Edu-Care's rates are very reasonable/affordable and they don't have the hidden fees (for lunches, potty training, additional hours for certain shifts, etc.) that some other programs charge. I highly recommend Burbank Edu-Care and am so grateful we found this amazing school! I can't gatekeep such a wonderful program when so many parents are seeking to find a safe, loving, supportive, and excellent preschool/kindergarten that builds on their child's strengths, gives them a sense of safety, care, and accomplishment, and lets them play with joy and creativity. Call Marie! She's awesome!

This by far is your…read morebest choice, from location to schedule to cleanliness and curriculum -- even their food choices for the kiddos were the best. When my daughter was there, she learned to fully ready before she graduated. She was way beyond the other kids in her kinder class. They completely kept the kids engaged with learning, playing, music, arts and crafts. Their seasonal shows and end of year potlucks are so fun and they kids were always happy. They had it all. Miss Marie, the owner, is so kind. She really has put all her heart and soul and educational experience into this business. We will never forget her and her teachers.

Ms. Nina has been nothing but helpful and resourceful, gracious and patient through our families' tough times financially, mentally and physically. Ms. Rima (retired) we'll miss her dearly & Ms. Angela (2&3 yo class) have helped potty train both girls. They're so attentive and pay such great attention to detail with all children, as well as the other teachers. They're so loving and kind! Grateful to have them make the littles feel so comfortable and safe. Now Ms. Carmen who's also new to the school, has been such a joy to meet. Ms. Valentin & Ms. Claudine (4&5 yo class) teach the children so much academically. They've learned so much and makes us feel confident to send our 5 year old to Kindergarten this coming school year. Thank you so much for continuing to guide the children into their new journeys off to elementary school. Their programs during the regular school year & summer are both wonderful. Yes, the school may seem out of date and look older but it's not about materialistic items. It's about the love, patience and care each teacher has provided for every student. Besides, the school can always learn, gain & advance with the new technology + suggestions we could make to improve the school.
