I love the community feel where the staff know exactly who your children are. The parents that we have gotten to know in the few short months are all kind and always ready to lend a hand. There are no cliques or gossip among them and they are always ready to speak in praise and encouragement about my children. We chose Judson for the small classes, community, and the fact that they can level up/down in subjects. This is important to me because I believe in meeting kids where they are. My daughter and one of my sons was able to take a higher math class because they were more advanced in those areas, but stayed at their grade in language arts. The teachers were the ones that did the placement tests and worked together to ensure that those transitions are seamless. The community is hard to beat and my kids are loving their time at Judson. They are challenged and get personal attention from their teachers. During one of the parents conferences, Ms. Hezikiel (one of my son's teachers), told me that she has him read to her out loud. I was under the impression that meant as a group but she told me that they do it one on one. I don't know if that could happen with even another private school that has the same amount of students as a public school does. The kids are challenged academically but more importantly, they are challenged emotionally and socially to be kids of character. The school has monthly themes for character traits and a student is chosen and presented an award for best representing that trait. For my family, this is more valuable than just academics.

St. Bernard is a great school!…read more I actually teach the after-school Enrichment program at St. Bernard through Carney Educational Services. This was my first year teaching the program at a private school and I loved it! I went to public school my whole life, but this school makes me want to put my future kids in private school some day! There was a brand new principal this year, Ms. Samaniego, and I must say that she is the most involved, open-minded and caring principal that I have ever met! Growing up, I don't remember seeing my principal around very often, but Ms. Samaniego involves herself with the students, parents and faculty every chance she gets. She will serve lunch to the kids, walk them out to their parents car after school, and even set up chairs in the hall! She's always running around, but it's so great to see a principal with so much energy and passion for the students and the school! As an after-school teacher, I only see what goes on after school, but I've met all of the teachers and they care about the success of the students. At Carney, we work hand-in-hand with the principal and faculty to make sure that the students gain the best education that they can and become unique and successful individuals. Even the parents AND grandparents are great! Everyone works together to create an exciting and supportive learning environment for these kids. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to be apart of the school this year. Myself and the Carney Site Coordinator tried to be as involved as we could by going to their annual fashion show luncheon, Kindergarten and 8th grade graduation, volleyball games, and we even put on the first Carney-Val for Halloween. The energy at the school is contagious and you can't help but get involved. I highly recommend this school to anyone interested in private schools. It is definitely a school to look in to.

I love how they're able to work with kids on an individual level cause it's so small. It's very much a micro school which is great cause I feel like we matter and I can make an impact, etc. but that's totally not for everyone, of course. There's a tiny bit of religious stuff which has been ok for us. It's mostly sweet and filtered through the female, mother, pastor. It's not fancy, very much a back to basics school. But you should go visit. Just set up a tour. Take a look. You can go whenever. The school director is a mom/woman named Irma Luna, she'll meet you and give you the scoop.

Heartfelt community, but some transparency gaps!…read more I visited Holy Family four times and loved seeing the joyful, engaged students and the peaceful atmosphere of Sunday Mass. There's a lot of heart here, but as a single mom, I want to share a few tips for other parents considering this school: * Ratios vs. Reality: While online stats say 13:1, that's not true. TK class of 20 and class of 35 beginning in 1st grade. There is an aide and teacher per grade level. It's a significant jump from the "official" numbers listed on niche and other sites describing this school with small classroom sizes. * The Assessment: My 3-year-old was interviewed alone in a small room; a tough separation if you aren't expecting it. * Transparency: Between a 3-hour Sunday commitment (Mass plus tour), 2 hr weekday school tour, a weekday interview on a different date than the tour, and the $125 fee, I wish there was more clarity on actual spot availability upfront instead of "we encourage you to apply right away." Ultimately, my child wasn't accepted which was a blessing in disguise (we found a welcoming Catholic school to start his TK adventure in the fall). The rejection letter cited "fit," and while it encouraged us to resubmit next year, I didn't consider this a viable option. It felt a bit dismissive to ask a family to repeat such a time-intensive, costly process without any feedback on what "fit" actually meant or what would change next time. I'm sharing this so other families can ask the right questions before diving in. Wishing the HFCS community all the best!

A Lifesaver and a Treasure…read more Chandler's Preschool quite literally rescued our family. We suddenly lost our nanny and were scrambling for care when the school had just opened--and we were lucky enough to be one of their very first families. From day one, we felt embraced, supported, and cared for in a way that exceeded all expectations. Our son just graduated from Chandler's and is heading into kindergarten not only confident and excited, but already reading. He was accepted into an excellent private school, and I have no doubt that Chandler's nurturing environment and thoughtfully designed curriculum played a huge role in preparing him. The teachers are warm, engaging, and truly see every child. The director runs the school with such intentionality--making sure the meals are always fresh, organic, and nutritious. The facility itself is immaculately clean and beautifully maintained. You can tell that everything, from the schedule to the classroom setup, is created with early childhood development philosophies in mind. Our younger daughter still attends, and I'm always blown away by the care and quality of education. She has weekly science lessons, cooking projects, and physical activities all seamlessly woven into her day. So much of the learning is hands-on and joyful--my kids often don't want to leave when I come to pick them up! We are endlessly grateful for Chandler's Preschool. It's been a home, a school, and a community for our family--and we can't recommend it highly enough.

*TLDR: Unless you are into Authoritarianism, do not send your children here*…read more Enough time has passed that I am ready to tell my family's story, to spare future families from heartbreak and drama. We spent 7 months of relative peace at Chandler's. There were definitely some pinkish to red flags that I ignored, but childcare in LA can be very difficult to find, so I dismissed my gut feelings. Our family required a preschool that accepted children at 18 months old, and they could accommodate that. I will lead with some brief positive aspects of Chandler's: availability of long hours, homemade and healthy breakfast/ lunch served, and some fairly decent teachers. Here's the ugly: The owner of the school, Carolina Garzzia, leads with an iron fist. Our first meetings with her led me to see someone not to be crossed, and her communication style has always felt very chaotic, non-cohesive, and cold. As an example, she has strong opinions about how long mothers should breastfeed--we found out as someone who took the tour with us and signed her child up ended up backing out at the last minute (losing her deposit) because Ms. Garzzia told her flat-out to stop breastfeeding. While this is not a religious school, the undertones are there (AI Jesus and the babies in heaven on their Instagram have been spotted), and the 2024 Christmas factor was on overdrive. I have talked to families (that practice different faiths) about how when they pushed back on the repeated request for their children to bring a Christmas ornament, Ms. Garzzia reacted with an astonished "In my 30 years of teaching, I have never!..."--well, maybe that is because you have created an environment in which people are uncomfortable talking to you, or you have traditionally surrounded yourself with the same kinds of people as yourself. About 5 months in, fellow parents at the school told us of a very upsetting event in which they saw a strange man taking photos of the gate and walking up the driveway, which is not supposed to be open during business hours. When questioned, this man became incredibly aggressive. The parent walked up to relay this information to the administration immediately and make sure they knew he was present. Chandler's admin were at first 1) nowhere to be found, and when they did show up, 2) sharply dismissed and told parent they were "taking care of it" without explanation. This is how this school meets any questioning, over a major SAFETY CONCERN... without curiosity, without sympathy. It's their way or the highway. This is where we met our own proverbial highway. This story is so stupid that it sounds unreal. In February of 2025, parents in the Chandler's school-run WhatsApp chat decided to create some sub-groups for the classrooms. Privately, a few parents and I had talked about how we thought it would be good for these to be parent-only, without Administration. An incredibly normal thing that most schools have--to plan teacher gifts, make weekend playdates, and yes, to talk it out when something unsettling happens. I was the one who denied entry of the administrators to our Caterpillar subgroup. For the sake of receipts, I have uploaded the exchange with redacted names except for the business owner. What happened after that was quite shocking. On Monday morning, I dropped off my child at their classroom and was called into the office by Ms. Garzzia, who locked the door behind me when I entered. She was not interested in hearing my perspective, and that this act of "rudeness" was seen as a challenge to their absolute power and their ability to control all narratives about the workings of Chandlers. I asked what the next steps could be, and Carolina replied sharply, "Oh I think we are done here. How can you trust us to take care of your child if you cannot trust us?" A very fair point. I asked for a check for the rest of the month's tuition, and to my surprise, this check was already cut, and a letter of dismissal was sealed in an envelope. I had to return to the classroom and take our sweet child out. Our family is horrified that the administration thought it was perfectly appropriate to retaliate against an innocent child and pluck him away from his friends and routine--all because of a perceived slight from a parent. This is their capacity for emotional intelligence and empathy. The administration was also aware that my parents had lost their home in Altadena to the Eaton Fire weeks before, and that my step-dad was still in the hospital after severe smoke inhalation. We were in terrible need of childcare, and they didn't care. I fully expect a response to this review that will be full of lies. That is their style. The bottom line is that parents deserve to be able to present concerns and questions without feeling dismissed or bullied.

Consider coming to worship with us....you won't be disappointed!
