The teachers are so sweet and have good tenure, the front office staff also have been there for years and years and offer fun programming. The strong focus on curriculum and academics is what initially drew us to the school, but we also love the app for updates and pictures throughout the day, the kitchen and menu offerings that save us from needing to pack and send meals, and the nicely shaded playgrounds. It's a great school all around!

My daughter attended Little Scholars Academy in Glendale for two years, and we had a mixed…read moreexperience. On the positive side, the teachers were wonderful -- especially Ms. Kelley, who was amazing with my daughter and helped her learn to read before Kindergarten. The classrooms felt clean and homey, and my daughter made lots of friends there. It was also one of the most affordable preschool options we found, which was a huge plus. That said, there were some real concerns. Communication and organization were lacking. Dates on the calendar would change, but staff often didn't seem aware of the updates. The school's app was very basic and only tracked sign-ins and sign-outs, without sharing anything about classroom activities. The only emails we received from management were reminders about holidays. We also experienced a lack of communication when it came to incident reports. On multiple occasions, my daughter came home with bumps, scrapes, or bruises, but we were never notified during the school day or given a report about what happened. As a parent, that was concerning because I want to know if she's been hurt, even in small ways. Billing was another ongoing frustration. Invoices were frequently incorrect, and we had to constantly monitor the autopay system to make sure we weren't overcharged. This added unnecessary stress on top of everything else. There was also a lot of turnover in staff. While the core teachers were great, it felt like new faces were constantly cycling in and out, which made the environment feel less stable for the kids. Safety and security were additional concerns. There were no cameras on site that I could see, and we once received a notice hours later about an incident where someone entered the gated playground in the morning. There was no follow-up on what changes would be made afterward. The parking lot also felt unsafe at times, with cars speeding through, homeless individuals passing by, and even a stolen car abandoned one morning while police investigated. Lastly, be cautious when looking at reviews online. Many of the 5-star reviews were part of a raffle the school conducted, which makes the feedback seem less reliable. Overall, the teachers gave my daughter a strong start, and I'm grateful for their care. But the lack of communication, billing errors, staff turnover, and security issues made me uneasy as a parent. I hope the school invests in improving those areas because it truly has potential.

As a healthcare practitioner in the community, I'm an educated, busy, working parent who did…read morethorough research before choosing where to place my child. Several of my colleagues and fellow practitioners have their children enrolled at the other Little Scholars location and highly recommended it to me. I am not being paid or incentivized for this review (frankly, I wouldn't need it as previous review suggested)--this is simply my honest experience as a parent who values quality education and safety. I love this school, and the upward mobility it provides for our children within this community. Little Scholars has exceeded every expectation. The teachers are excellent and hold my baby like he is their own. The classrooms are spotless, and the play yard is beautiful and safe. Outside parameter is locked, secured and checked daily. My son is only three, and he's already learning letters, numbers, and beginning to read and write. His speech has advanced far beyond his age, and he's being taught valuable life skills that build confidence and independence. I appreciate the good manners they practice. They worked tirelessly on helping me potty train. They assisted me in the method I chose and were supportive from day one. Children get sick! It is what it is, but its not a reflection of "cleanliness of the place." Cold and flu season comes around and they are sanitizing like crazy. I'm personally thankful for this season as I know my son's immune system will be optimal come grade school. This is not just a daycare--it's a true preschool where children leave testing well above kindergarten level. My friend (another PA) noticed how advanced my child was for his age and opted to pull her two children out of a daycare and place them in a school atmosphere closer to her. She called me yesterday with an update (1st week in school ended) and she told me how impress she is with the change. As such, because it is a school the teachers are paid a salary and closures for holidays/breaks are not with reduced pay so that they continued to get paid. I don't mind this. I respect teachers and believe they deserve more especially when you have such excellent staff you'd do anything to keep them. I wish more schools followed this model. I also want to address a recent negative review, quite frankly the only lone star review (and her only review on yelp). It's clearly a revenge post for her personal vehicle being rummaged through because SHE left it unlocked. The claims about safety and homelessness in the area does not reflect the whole truth. Within the past year the homelessness has taken a significant shift. The neighborhood is rapidly changing. Bellair was bought out, new businesses are moving in building on empty lots (including the lot directly next to the school - adding additional lighting and security cameras to the area). Landscaping and hardscaping by the city has taken place up 43rd ave and the homelessness is starting to move on. I personally have never felt unsafe here even before these changes took place, but I'm happy to see the local improvements. Regardless, the incident mentioned in the other review was due to an unlocked vehicle in the parking lot not a reflection of the school itself. This could have equally happened a the local quick trip, sushi joint or grocery store. The original poster also cross posted this to the Neighborhood app (or FB (?)- this is where I saw the post initially) noting that the police were called but would be late to arrive so she left (they were late to arrive because they were looking for the gentleman that did it). She notes that nothing was stolen. Beyond this, the child was clearly in attendance for a couple of years (per her timeline). I would doubt that if she felt her child was unsafe for so many years she would have kept her child enrolled for that long. It also appears the child tested out end of summer and moved on (likely more advanced and above their peers) and she was refunded the month for her distress this caused her. Seemingly appropriately handled to me... Little Scholars goes above and beyond for children, families and community. We couldn't be happier with our choice, and I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and academically advanced start for their child. I can't wait to enroll my second when she's of age. Take a tour and see for yourself!

They had nothing written on her sheet as to what happened at all and when questioned no explanation either except she scratched her lip, CLEARLY this is not the case. The director did follow up with a phone call apologizing but still nothing to report as to what happened, when questioned on camera the response was that they were live streaming so no way to go back and look. She will not be going back.

Since then, no exaggeration, they went through 4 directors, & probably 12 different teachers. I think we can all agree the most important things kids need is consistency & structure, & this school is the FARTHEST thing from that. They have no structure, half the time the kids are running around playing, & the turn over is so crazy no wonder they can't keep control over the kids. If your child has ANY type of behavioral concerns, learning concerns, or is difficult at times (aren't they all?) RUN FROM THIS SCHOOL. THEY ARE NOT THEIR TO HELP, they do not care to make things better, they send kids home & kick them out. Their previous director quit effective immediately because she couldn't take it anymore, & said it herself "They are probably one of the most unorganized unloving companies I've worked for" Their teachers are unqualified, and straight up unhappy. They don't even require previous childhood education experience, look it up on indeed yourself. I cannot stress this enough, unless you have the easiest kid, don't waste your time or money. This place is straight up damaging to children's self confidence, self esteem, & overall emotional growth.

After that, the person I talked with was not sure why I was there and none of the papers were prepped and they did not have any information that I had filled out on their website. Once the tour started, the individual giving the tour didn't even take out her Apple earbud which I found extremely rude. I am not sure if she didn't realize that I saw, as she had her hair down. However, I am a middle school teacher and can spot those things from the other side of the room. She knew that their Quality First scholarships had been given out, but was not confident on whether or not there was a waitlist for the scholarships. I was really excited to tour here and was hopeful that my daughter may be able to attend here if they had a scholarship available, since the cost is very high and we cannot afford it without a scholarship. Definitely too high for what I saw. However, I was extremely disappointed in almost every aspect of the tour. They were within the state numbers for ratio, so that is why I gave them a two instead of a one.
