Elysian Park

NELA Forest School was the absolute perfect place for our son. Being outdoors in a gentle,…read morechild-focused environment helped him thrive. When he got a little older, his bookish interests were supported and encouraged by the teachers. (He was curious about a puddle one day and a teacher brought in a microscope so they could examine the water drops more closely!) NELA is about nature--but I think it's the culture and the educators that truly make it special! Now, my daughter is at NELA and experiencing the same encouragement. The forest is the perfect setting for her imaginative play (and every day her backpack is full of sticks.) TW: They will get dirty. Your car will get dirty. But if you're anything like our family, you will love it. Now whenever we are in outside, our kids point out the native flora and fauna. My husband and I are not particularly outdoorsy. They are our nature guides. NELA has been a gift.

Our son attended NELA forest school from ages 4-6, starting in the Sparrows class for preschool and…read morecontinuing into the Hawks class for transitional kindergarten. Simply put: this school was one of the greatest gifts of his early childhood. From the very first day, it was clear that this was not just a school -- it was a deeply thoughtful, child-centered community that honored who he was and helped him grow in the most meaningful ways. The teachers are exceptional -- warm, attentive, and deeply respectful of each child's individual rhythm. They truly see and celebrate each child. The nature-based, play-driven curriculum allowed our son to thrive in a way that no traditional classroom ever could have. He became curious, confident, resilient, and deeply connected to the natural world around him. He learned how to ask questions, solve problems, collaborate with peers, and express himself -- all while climbing trees, building shelters, observing insects, and engaging with real life in real time. By the time he moved on from the Hawks class, he was not only more than ready for the next step academically -- he was grounded, joyful, and full of love for learning. We are endlessly grateful for the foundation this program gave him, and would recommend it wholeheartedly to any family looking for something truly special.

I have a 4 year old soon to be 5 and a 2 year old turning 3 in July..and I must say that I am so…read moreblessed that both my children attend this school. They both have only been here 10 months and they have both grown so much. The love for God and for the children is definitely present and I feel very safe and happy to leave my children here everyday. Ms. Norma is the director and shes been very helpful with all my needs. She's very understanding and will work with your schedule. I also give Ms Katherine big kudos, she's the 2 year old teacher. I must say she is the most loving and patient teacher I have ever met. She gives the little ones lots of love and comfort. My son cried for a month when he first started but ms Katherine always comforted him and made him feel safe, she always assured him mommy was coming back. Ms Katherine is also in charge of the potty training...as a working parent I must say that I'm so happy I found a school that included potty training.. ms Katherine did a fantastic job. Now my son instead of crying says bye mommy! he loves being here. The 4 year old class had some turn over but now it seems to be pretty stable and both ms Lupe and Ms Merissa do a wonderful job together in getting the kids ready for kindergarten. My daughter is now writing her 8 letter name and is starting to read. Little by little the center is doing its best to improve their facility...and I'm more than happy to be part of their growth.

This preschool has been amazing for not just our son, but for the entire family!…read more We started our son going here right after he turned 2. He's now 2.5, so we've got half a year experience there and love it! Upon visiting the school for the first time and also when we went back to turn in his forms, he cried when it was time to leave because he wanted to stay!!! We've done short days, medium length days, and super long days, and he's done well in every case. The school's flexibility with my varying work schedule is one of my favorite things about it - I've been able to vary which days my son goes to school and how long when I need to. Katherine, the 2-year-old teacher, is the toddler whisperer...the way she keeps multiple toddlers' attention and interest while maintaining calm is unbelievable...plus she's warm and comforting (holding, hugging, or carrying children who need it in the moment) which is so important in my opinion because they're so little! She's always got new, fun, exciting activities and crafts planned for the kids that they are so proud of and excited to tell about/show off. You can tell she loves what she does and she's at the top of her game, for sure. The facility inside is just lovely and full of fun experiences and learning centers. I especially love how they bake and cook with the kids in the kitchen sometimes. (They made and then ate a birthday cake for Dr. Seuss' birthday, for example...how cute is that?!) Outdoor facility isn't as nice as the indoor facility, but they do get the kids outside a lot when it's nice - bubble play, water play, bikes, playground, lunch outside - which is really nice. They are truly super supportive of potty training at the child's own pace (and changing diapers if that's where the child is at)...I'm so grateful they didn't require pull ups when we were training my son. He had a couple of minor accidents there in his underwear, but he finished potty training quickly and confidently because it was supported at school the same as at home. To top ALL of these wonderful things off...the kids really do learn - even at 2! BUT Katherine never forces them to do more than they have the interest/attention for...it's a beautiful thing watching her teach them. And so fun the way our son uses what he's learned at home - breaks out into songs he's learned there, picks up a quarter and says "Washington," counts, points out letters, etc. My son was a late talker - barely using words when he started school just past age 2, but his speech began improving and expanding so much once he started school...I really do think it was a big help for him growing in that area. Norma, who runs the school, is a lovely woman who truly cares about the kids. It's a very special place...you'd be lucky to have your child there... Oh - and it's THE MOST AFFORDABLE preschool I've found in the area, too.

Arts District, Downtown

Before my kid started TK at LAUSD I enrolled him here during the summer. This was the place that…read moregot him to love arts & crafts. Got him interested to use scissors (found out he's a lefty here and provided him lefty scissors) and through his art class made some classy stuff. Pieces that are still on the walls of our house. Stuff he made for Father's Day that is still sentimental to the hubby. They go on monthly field trips (like Kidspace) but what's cool is that they utilize Metro or Dash to the city library for magic shows, story time, puppet shows, or to parks like Grand Park (splashing around). It is affiliated with a Japanese Buddhist church so they do go to the Hondo for some gassho and singing with the minister in the morning (15 mins). From observation the families that utilize this resource are very diverse--I would even say that Japanese families are in the minority here. I am of the group that chose this place due to its proximity to my workplace, and I think others have too. Ms. Susan has been director for quite some time and I've personally seen old students now adults say hi to her at Nishi obon. Staff are very kind and nurturing. The daycare is nicely situated in a space that is shaded so they aren't going to roast when playing outside. Even now as my kid is enrolled at public school TK I still take him here during LAUSD winter breaks, or the myriad of "no instruction days" on their calendar. They take kids up to age 6 so this has been a godsend to me. Kids as young as 2 must come potty trained. Currently monthly tuition is $1170 might be $50 lower per month if you pay to become a temple member.

Two years ago, when my older child started at Nishi, I was nervous, since he was a covid baby who…read morehadn't attended any outside daycare or childcare previously. 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.

When I arrived for my visit, the director, Sakina, was hoisting a palate of strawberries from her car that she had bought from the farmers market for the kids' snack. From day one, our family felt welcomed and supported by Sakina and her colleagues and the parents at the school. Our daughter is thriving and we see every day how this loving community has contributed to her growth and development. The school has two beautiful classrooms with large glass windows/doors and a serene courtyard. One parent on Yelp commented about uneven pavement and I'm not sure I understand that. The space is perfectly safe (as well as clean and beautiful) for children to run around--I certainly wouldn't have sent my 2-year-old daughter to the school if I had any concerns. The teachers are extremely engaged and loving and I've watched them on a daily basis help kids to learn how to communicate and resolve conflict. Overall, the school is an absolute gem and I am so glad that we became part of this wonderful community. Our family is forever grateful for the marvelous work by Sakina, Vanessa, Michelle, and Romaline.
