The best preschool in Burbank. They have an amazing philosophy of teaching. The teachers are…read moresmart, educated and on the forefront of new techniques. There is a lot of parent/teacher interaction and lots of opportunities for parents to get involved. Parents are informed of everything going on in the classrooms, including lists of what books are read and what they are learning each week. There is an amazing sand yard, where kids are encouraged to "get dirty," by making "rivers" and playing in the sand in creative ways. There is also a garden, where students get hands-on experience with gardening and composting. The main play yard has different "stations" set up each day, where students can choose on their own what interests them. Every day is different - there might be trains, blocks, art, books, water tables, dinosaurs, dollhouses, etc. set up. Each day is a new experience for the kids, yet there is routine, too. The grounds are EXTREMELY safe and the staff makes sure pick up is as smooth as possible. There is a parent committee, where parents can participate in planning fundraisers, as well as campus activities. There is a lot of interaction with the other parents in the children's rooms. The room parents often host get togethers and meetings and there are several meetings with the teachers throughout the year. At the end of the year, children receive a binder with artwork and "journals" from throughout the year. Photos that the teachers take all year are also included in the binders. Having tried some other preschools in Burbank, none can compare to Methodist.

I attended this school in the mid 80's and some of my most fondest memories are of going to this…read moreschool. The friends I made, the teachers, and the activities. My daughter now goes here and is in her first year with Mrs. Wernstrum and Miss Martin and she loves it! This school is play based and allow volunteers at any time. My favorite part of being a mom with a child that goes here is that I am able to help in the class, I like that classes are small enough to where I am close with my daughters teachers. They remain in very close contact and will contact you if there are any issues that need to be addressed. There is a lot about this little preschool that has stayed the same in the past 30 years, the wooden boat that stays in the play yard, the sand box, and the school still smells the same as it did the first day I stepped foot inside the school. I recommend this preschool to every single parent that is looking for a place for their child to have a wonderful learning environment. Top notch directors and staff to help mold your child's future!

We will be leaving for kinder soon, and it will be really hard.

We will miss OCP when we graduate in May but will absolutely come back to visit!

We just moved to this school from NYC and placed our two kids in the dual language program. I…read morehonestly didn't even know this school existed but it's an underground gem-- mainly shared and known by word of mouth. Our two kids are in the dual language program and we've been astounded by the quality of the teachers (most have tenures of 10+ years), the extra curricular classes (art, science, gardening, innovation lab) and the parent community. Plus the classes are under 20 kids each and the campus is huge with lots of green space. It's such a local treasure.

We live down the street from this community school. When we moved to the neighborhood we were…read morehopeful that this would be a good option for us in the future. Our son is now in 2nd grade and after 2 years at the school in the dual language (Spanish immersion) program, we are thrilled to have made this choice for our family! We love the teachers and the close-knit community. This is a small school of approximately 350 students TK-6th so the best part is that we really get to know each other. This is an incredible experience to have this true neighborhood feel within this sprawling city. The parent community is incredibly engaged and we've been able to add programs like visual arts & a brand new music program for every single child at the school. There are after school offerings like LA's Best plus afterschool enrichment classes, Girls on the Run, HawksLA, and other occasional offerings like ukulele or Folklorico dance. Our new principal, Ms. Salcedo has been an absolute pleasure and everyone is very enthusiastic about her leadership at our school. If you drive past the school you'll see beautiful murals, including an Eric Junker. A sweet Enrich LA Garden where the kiddos have gardening classes. Our massive green field - aka "the lawn" is a beautiful sight to behold within the concrete jungle of Los Angeles AND plans are on the tracks for many more greening initiatives that will only improve the already sweet school. We are so grateful for this school and the community. It has become the heartbeat of Atwater Village for us and look forward to at least 4 more years at this awesome school.

A brand new Catholic high school devoted to STEM with amazing faculty for our children to learn from. This is a great opportunity to have your children engage and become excited with their education. This will be a WHOLE NEW LEARNING EXPERIENCE, prepping our kids for the future. We are so excited our son is now part of the founding class of St. John Paul II STEM Academy. Once he learned about it and met with the faculty, he decided this was the only school he wanted to attend. It does not get any better than that. I urge you to check it out. You will be amazed at what they have in store for the students. Truly innovative and exciting, with faculty as eager as we are to have the learning process begin. We can not wait till August!

I am a "Professional Hacker" by job title, so when I saw that there was a robotics school that my…read morekid could go to less than ten miles away from our home in Woodland Hills I jumped at the opportunity. I showed my son a few videos from the buildcoolrobots.com page and his eyes lit up. I thought to myself "We may have a winner". After his first class/demo my kid was hooked. As a "Geek Father" I must admit I had a tear (of joy) in my eye as well as he told me "Daddy I love it". Speaking with Stan (the man) to get a feel for his "savvy" I was extremely pleased at his skill level and more importantly how he related with the kids in the classes. The kids love Stan! I could barely get uninterrupted time to speak with him. The kids were relentless with their enthusiasm for either completing a "Mission" or asking for a little help with their robots "code". This impressed me even more. My son began his journey the beginning of Summer 2013, attending classes eight times a month. In that short amount of time he has gone from an interest in computers to developing code and furthermore being excited about it. My sons enthusiasm spans even further from the classroom as (per Stans guidance for me and my kid begging me) I have purchased everything he needs to develop at home. With that being said, I have gone to my sons room on a few Saturday mornings to find my son NOT playing Xbox but instead programming on his laptop telling me "Daddy I almost completed this mission, look at this"! If you are looking for somewhere your kid can learn skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives, I highly recommend that you enroll them at Great Minds Robotics. Neither you or your kid will be disappointed.
