I have sent both my daughters to Rio since they were 5 months old. My eldest is now 4. My youngest is 16 months. They are SO LOVING and NURTURING. They taught my first all her numbers and letters at 18 months and I was literally amazed! They have been more than we ever wished for. They do artwork, celebrate birthdays and holidays, feed them fresh food from their kitchen, read stories, teach them to draw and hold markers and have a large back open shaded area for play. My four year old is practicing her writing and comes home with so many great examples of her work. They also learned Yoga and Downward dog! My eldest has made wonderful friendships at this school. I really hope they will stay in touch when they enter TK. They also make my life easier as a working mother. They feed them breakfast and lunch, and don't reprimand me if I drop them off late (which can happen at many preschools)! I love the small, nurturing community they have fostered. My children especially adore Ms. Nata and Ms. Arminka, and of course, Ms. Rubina, the owner. She is so wonderful and loving. She sends us photos of the kids and communicates on how our children are doing.

Nicole Melania is happy playing with her friends in Rio Child Care!

We are very lucky and happy of being with Rio Child Care! Miss Rubina and all her team are amazing! They provide personal care of each child, home made food (4 times a day, when there are many places that are not providing any food). Our daughter Nicole Melania is very happy, and every time she doesn't want to leave their place. And I'm personally feeling calm while our baby is in a child care, because I know she's in good hands. Thank you again to Rio Child Care

Everyone in Rio childcare truly love working with kids and very caring. Our son has been going here for almost two years and he loves his teaches and friends. They do so many art projects ( he always brings it home), activities and lessons. Our son enjoys his time at daycare! We are going to bring our little daughter here too! All the teachers are fantastic and keep the parents updated regularly! thank you Rio childcare for caring for our kids

I left a review a couple of years ago and wanted to update. I now have two daughters enrolled at Rio (ages 3.5 and 1.5). Both have loved their experiences and all of their teachers. The kids are learning a lot and enjoy presenting us with the crafts they make.

Outside time :)

Rio Child Care was recommended to me through a friend. I have now had my daughter under their care since 5 months old. My daughter is now 16 months and is always so happy at drop off, absolutely no tears. Finding a great quality childcare has always been a struggle for me. I'm so happy I found a place that I see my daughter thriving in. She loves her teachers and they are so nurturing, patient and sweet with her. The photo updates are my favorite. Thank you Rubina, Natali and Karina for making the process possible for us. Ms. Ruzanna, Ms. Siranush & our other beautiful teacher , thank you for all you do!!!

The Best Child Care! If you want your child to be treated like at home this is the place. The care, quality and love provided is unmatched! Love the place as much as my son does!

I had my daughter right at the start of the pandemic so I got to stay home with her longer than I had planned, but we also didn't get to socialize her much because of COVID. When I had to go back to work I found Rio childcare, and so I'm glad I did! I was so nervous leaving her with strangers but i can honestly say, she is so loved there. She has learned so much and made some good friends she comes home to tell me about. I'm surprised at all the new things she learns everyday - colors, shapes, letters, songs, etc. She comes home with a lot of art projects and they even helped get her fully potty trained earlier than I expected her to be. I will forever be thankful to the Rio childcare team!

It's been a year since my last review. My son has been continually showing us so much improvement in many ways since he attends Rio Child Care. We kept him at home for two months since the virus began in March, but due to both me and my husband are working from home so it's too much stress to handle with him around. We decided to let him go back to the daycare because we trusted Rubina, Mr.s Neyli, and Mr.s Lilit they would take very good care of the children. In fact, they really did an amazing job. We are so grateful for these teachers who are willing to be at the frontline taking care of the children to make sure they are healthy and happy. Every morning after dropping off my son, they measure his body temperature first, then they took him to wash his hands right after. All parents are required to wear masks while dropping off, and not allowed to go inside. Everyone follows the rules. My son has been building up more confidence and he clearly told us he's ready to go to preschool. It's really sad to say good-bye to Rio daycare, on the last Friday, they held a nice good-bay party for my son. I think it's such an important moment for my son to experience it so he knows he's moving on. I can't express how much I appreciated, I can only leave this review to whoever is looking for a daycare in Burbank. This is a place you won't regret to send your kids to.

See all

Our two year old daughter has been going to Tiny Footsteps for ten months and we trust them like…read morefamily. I was overwhelmed and nervous about sending our daughter to daycare for the first time. I toured several facilities and ultimately went with my gut when I chose Tiny Footsteps. A couple things swayed me, number one it's a family-run daycare out of the family home. I think for kids transitioning to daycare for the first time, it feels like an extension of home. Like going to a relative's house. There's windows all around and good air circulation -- several places I toured didn't have much or any natural light. The kids socialize all together and I've seen with our daughter that it's given her an extra bit of emotional intelligence. She learned how to interact with the babies from watching Ms. Sevan, and once our son, her little brother was born, was attuned to being gentle and engaging warmly with him. Similarly hanging out with some of the older kids helped develop her vocabulary and motor skills trying to keep up with them. I think of them like a big pack of cousins the way she talks about them all at home. And one of my favorite parts, is that they make good, home-cooked meals. It's been such a great relief that we take Auva to daycare in the morning and she has two meals and two snacks there that we don't have to plan. She likes their cooking and eating as a group with the other kids has helped her widen her palate. Highly recommend! Our daughter still attends and we're grateful for their care!

Sevan, Jenny & Jarmin are the best caretakers! My family is blessed to be able to send our children…read morehere. My son went from age 1 to 3.5 as he transitioned to pre-school and my daughter started at 10 months and still attends. Highly recommend Tiny Footsteps for their structure, routine, cleanliness and great care! Thank you ladies. We love you!

Mary Alice O'Connor Family Center - Preschool Classroom

I had two kids at Mary Alice over the past 6 years…read more Our oldest started during the pandemic, when you had to drop off your little one at the door and a staff member would take their little hand and toddle them off to class. The friendly woman who usually greeted us was Lily, the front desk person at the time. We grew to really trust Lily and she has since become this center's director! Amanda, the director when we started, is now regional director. I cannot say enough good things about them. They orchestrate a complicated environment involving small children, teachers, and parents in a kind and professional way. Lily still takes a moment to say hi at morning dropoff. Her right hand is Priscilla, who was a long time teacher at the school and is incredibly competent. She and Lily manage everything and plan adorable events like Pre-K graduation, Halloween parades, Mothers and Fathers day events, and Christmas recitals. There's a core of amazing teachers here-dedicated folks who have been at the center for years and seem to have endless patience with the kids. As is typical in childcare, there is some turnover outside that core group. There's a strong community at the school, and during our time we were lucky enough to have amazing parents who ran the Boosters organization. The MAOC Boosters is all volunteer and raises extra money for the school, buying new toys, enrichment classes, and equipment, as well as teacher appreciation. Most fun for my family were events like Easter parties, treasure hunts, St. Patrick's Day parties, movie theater rentals... the list goes on. They're great friendship building opportunities for the kids and adults. We've made many family friends at the school over the years. The Boosters is run by volunteers, so I really can't thank them enough. There are five classrooms by age at MOAC and each has their own vibe. Our youngest went through every classroom starting from infants. They're all great. Discovery preschool was always my favorite-a magical time where their little personalities start to really shine, with especially great teachers. Preschool was always a little crazy for us, I think because of the stage of development. Then PreK was great and we had the same three teachers for both kids. I feel like the children started to really learn things in PreK like they're in school. Ms. Emma ran Learning Adventures, an optional extra where she'd pull kids out in a small group to work on letters and words. I think it really made a difference and my kids loved Ms Emma! Here are the cons: Everything everyone has ever told you is true... when you start daycare- anywhere- you and your kid are going to get sick. A LOT in the beginning. Lily and the team will send e-mails updating you on whatever hideous ailment is floating around your kid's classroom. Keep your own kid home when they're sick and trust other parents are doing the same. I promise it slowly gets better. Second con: it's expensive. We spent an arm and a leg over these last six years, several of those years paying for two kids at the same time. The cost slowly decreases depending on the classroom, and starting in Discovery you can do fewer days per week, which are cheaper still. But you're going to want to put that lake house on hold. Also, you'll get a notice of tuition increase every year. Since we started, it's been anywhere from 3-4% per year so factor that in as well. I want to address some negative reviews still floating around online from before we even started at the school. We've been on the waitlist ourselves. The reality is that demand for good daycare is high and outweighs supply. There is also sibling preference for admission (which I completely support). I've seen more than one reviewer allude to the idea that the center is for big shot studio execs or something. I mean, it IS Burbank, CA so there are quite a few people in the entertainment industry but I was still freelance when we started here. One commentator even talked about all the nice cars at drop off (I guess they never saw my 2003 Subaru out there!) In reality, there's a mix of people from different backgrounds and professions. It's not just for the elite. Friendly suggestion for the school: I wish there was a better way to meet new teachers before dropoff. On a couple occasions, an e-mail announced a new person in the classroom. But at dropoff, familiar staff might be busy, leading to an awkward moment introducing yourself while simultaneously peeling a clingy child off of you to give them to this new person you just met. I bet there's a smoother way to do this! Lastly, I just want to thank Lily, Priscilla, Amanda, Emma, Naira, Yara, Marisa, Michele, Patty, Jasmine, Jailene, Jonde, Breanna, Shyan... there's too many people to name from over the years. Just, thank you to the staff. You have my eternal gratitude for helping us raise these children through such a busy, fun, hard, happy, difficult, but beautiful time in our lives.

My son started when he was two years old (2024) and has been attending ever since. At the time, I was a mother of one and very anxious about our son being looked after by anyone other than family. Fortunately, they both did everything to make us feel like family for a seamless transition. It is well rounded program and incorporated into everyday tasks/activities making learning fun, while also practical. Every week is focused on different topics and the themes/events are communicated in advanced. Our son (who has known to be a picky eater from time to time) has tried new foods at daycare which is a major win. The care and attention to the kids and the program are unmatched. They take the time to communicate every part of the program (meals, weekly activities, daily highlights, and my personal favorite: pictures of their day) allowing us to have a conversation with our little one. Thanks to Dream Big Little One, we are confident our son is prepared to enter TK in the Fall.

We can honestly say that enrolling our son here has been one of the best decisions we've made. From day one, Isiris and Ms. Geni, have treated our family like part of their own. The culture is warm, welcoming, and genuinely family-oriented. What has impressed us most is the curriculum. This is far more than childcare. It is a thoughtfully designed early education program that prepares children for structured school environments in an engaging, age-appropriate, and innovative way. Our son is learning communication skills, independence, routines, problem-solving, and social development through activities that make learning fun. We have seen tremendous growth in his confidence, curiosity, and ability to adapt to new situations. His adjustment has been incredible. He genuinely loves going to school each day. As parents, there is no better feeling than seeing your child run into the classroom with a smile. Perhaps the strongest endorsement we can give is that we live in West Los Angeles and drive more than 40 minutes each way because we have so much confidence in this program. There are many options closer to home, but none that provide the same combination of care, education, professionalism, and community that we have found here. The team has created something truly special. They are helping shape confident, kind, and capable young learners while giving parents peace of mind that their children are in the best possible hands. We are incredibly grateful for the impact this school has had on our son and our family, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for an exceptional early childhood education experience.
