We're beyond grateful to have found The Learning House Preschool for our son. After a tough…read moreexperience at his previous preschool, he developed separation anxiety and didn't want to go to school anymore. But Arbi was amazing, he found a personal and caring approach that helped our son rebuild his confidence and truly love school again. Now he walks in every morning excited and happy, like he's joining a big, loving family. The school is bright, clean, and full of positive energy. We also love their program that focuses on learning through play, exploring nature, hands-on experiments, and building social skills. We can't thank Arbi and The Learning House team enough for creating such a nurturing environment where children can grow, learn, and feel loved.

The location is great for us and the hours work very well with our work schedules.

Ms Peggy's Response to my review proves that what I wrote is accurate. Instead of showing any kind…read moreof humility, she has doubled down on gaslighting me. I never stated anything about whether your facility was is compliance with state licensing regulations, which are the bare minimum requirments for all licensed child care facilities and nothing to be bragging about. You say things like that your policies are "clearly communicated," with no such explanation of what you mean, when I provided factual details and pages of "critical context." You have now accussed me of "repeated concerns regarding hostile communication and ongoing disruptive interactions with staff." For the prospective families reading this, I implore you, Ms. Peggy, to define what your definitions of "hostile communication" and "ongoing disruptive interactions" and "combative" are. I also give you permission to state what dates and claims about me you are even referring to, but make sure to to include "critical context" without being "inaccurate" or "misleading" when doing so. Parents need to be aware that you were never around during the incidents I described, so you have no basis for knowing whether anything I described was inaccurate. I asked a lot of questions that your staff didn't like and 1st I was called "rude" for it and now that I documented my experiences, you are trying to label me "hostile." Shame on you. This is basic mean girl bullying and the wrong way to respond to a review because it is not 5 stars.

She really came through for us when we needed day care a couple of days a week during the summer for our 1 year old. I want to note it was a schlep for us to get to Tarzana from Sherman Oaks, but well worth it given our experience. Dali is warm, loving, highly experienced, and cares deeply about children and their families. I felt so comfortable leaving our baby with Dali each morning and when we requested photos or updates on how she was doing Dali would promptly text us. It is difficult to find high quality childcare and I was very impressed with the calm and family like atmosphere Dali has cultivated. She keeps the environment and materials exceptionally clean. The children adore her and her assistant and one another. I can't recommend her enough and I do to every parent who is in need of daycare in the valley.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Dali and her staff are the sweetest, most caring, accommodating, and loving…read morepeople who have helped me with both of my girls from they were babies until they were ready to start TK. She and her staff were like extended family to my girls; it takes a village and trust me you want her and her team as part of your village. My oldest started at 18 months old and my youngest at 5 months old. My girls both adore her and have benefitted immensely from being under her care. Both of them always looked forward to going there every morning. She even helped with potty training which, as you parents know, is a challenge! She was patient with accidents, reassuring us when we got understandably frustrated, and was an immense help in that department. When my oldest started, it was during the pandemic and she had been out of a day care setting for months while everything was locked down, so needless to say she was somewhat difficult since we couldn't really socialize much with social distancing in place. Dali was patient, caring, and understanding with her and helped my little girl adjust to socializing with other children and learning boundaries and discipline in a respectful way. Once she adjusted, she thrived under her care. Prior to starting TK, she knew her letters and numbers and even writing her own name! I was always kept up-to-date on her progress and growth, alerted to any concerns regarding behavior and/or illness, and provided with advice and/or reassurance when facing developmental challenges (at the time, as a first time parent, this meant the world to me). She did this with both of my girls and gave me such great peace of mind when they were under her care. Both my girls were there at the same time at one point when they were too young to start school and she handled them wonderfully. Socializing with new friends, eating nutritious foods, waterplay days during summertime, playtime with fun toys, arts and crafts, games and story time, Dali's day care has it all in a spacious and cozy home that feels like a second home for your kiddos. Like I said, I HIGHLY recommend her day care! :)

As first time parents, my husband and I are so grateful for the love and attention that our child…read morereceives at Reena's daycare (practically his second home). Initially, it was hard imagining handing over the care of our child to someone else. However, fast forward to 6 months later, I think our child gets bored at home on the weekends sometimes and misses his daycare. Occasionally I will have a day off from work (I work full time), but if the daycare is open, I will drop him off so he can have fun and see his pals in daycare for at least part of the day. My son started at their home daycare as an infant. Not a day goes by without him smiling excitedly after Reena opens the door to welcome him. He has never cried once at drop off or pick up. Going to daycare is an absolute delight for him! He enjoys eating her yummy food (some of which are grown organically in her garden...we can't wait for him to try the passionfruit!). He likes interacting with familiar faces because the daycare is an intimate group of about 8 kids, and Reena teaches all of them to be kind and gentle with one another. He loves exploring the toys at her daycare and she provides him developmentally appropriate activities. Every day Reena provides an update about my child's activities including funny anecdotes about him and the other kids he interacts with, his meals/snacks, his naps, and his general mood. These updates end up being very funny and entertaining as not only do Reena and Don have a great sense of humor, but they also absolutely adore the silliness of the kids and find a way to recognize each of their individual personalities. Important tidbits: -Pick up and drop off is pretty quick and easy. Listed hours are 7am to 5:30pm. -This is a state licensed home daycare where CPR training, background checks, annual inspections, and etc are required of the daycare. -Full time enrollment is necessary. The benefit of this is that the number of kids is never over capacity. -Another reviewer astutely mentioned that the daycare takes a good number of holidays off. Reena is upfront about it and personally I think that the time-off is well-deserved because she puts so much energy and passion into the daycare. However, not every family can accommodate the holiday schedule. But if you can swing it, the daycare is worth it! -Homecooked meals and snacks are included and sound so yummy! -Unlike large childcare centers, there is no app to view your child's activities or photos/livestream video. But on the flip side, it feels very personal having a daily report at pick-up from Reena because she knows my child so well. -Communication has always been easy. Reena is very responsive and prompt. -Fees are straightforward and reasonable. There's a one-time registration fee and then weekly fee.

I expected baby to have a rocky transition since he was used to grandma but within the week he was saying good-bye to me in the mornings ready to start his day with Ms. Reena. We are so fortunate to have found Reena and Don. They are both nurturing, gentle and kind, Reena is always welcoming and happy to see us. 5 months later, baby is thriving in daycare and we decided to keep him with Ms. Reena. I would 100% recommend!

Well, about the day care: its clean, tidy, very well kept with so many toys and story books there. When we toured it was instant gratification to see the lovely place which was to become ours son's day home. The entire family is lovely, caring and very very helpful in every context.

The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and took their time answering every question I had as a parent. The classrooms were clean, bright, and thoughtfully arranged with age-appropriate toys and learning materials. Booking a tour was incredibly easy, and I appreciated that the school uses its own app to share updates, photos, and communication with parents--such a helpful touch. We were also pleasantly surprised by how affordable this daycare is. They even offer a low-income discount through a program called Clarity, which made this one of the most budget-friendly options we toured. Although we ultimately chose a different daycare simply because we needed something closer to our work locations, we truly wished the distance would have allowed us to enroll our son here. There is also a pool on campus, which initially made me hesitant, but it is fully enclosed, secured, and padlocked, which gave me peace of mind during the tour. Even though we didn't enroll here, I left feeling confident that children are in nurturing and capable hands. I would absolutely recommend this daycare to families looking for a caring, safe, and structured environment for their little ones.

She allows him to explore and be himself, but always takes time to acknowledge him personally, coaches him on good behavior, and treats him with dignity. We're so grateful for her! Little buddy was meeting all his cognitive milestones before starting, but in the past few months, he's far exceeded development standards for talking, counting, and general skills. The Montessori model has worked so well for us! (They taught him how to brush his hair, put on his shoes, pick up after himself, hold eating utensils, and drink out of a cup -which he refused to do before going. He now picks up all his toys at home no problem!) We love the Brightwheel app that they send us updates through, and they schedule so many nice enrichment activities. This place is worth every penny with how much they've given our baby. Our little guy feels so seen and loved just the way he is, and he's flourished so much with his friends here.
