Schools near Arleta, CA

“I'am so happy with all the academic progress and the good education than my daughter has received during these 3 years , it has been one of the best decisions I have made in my daughter 's life to put her in that place. Now she is ready for first grade.”

“Exceptional school. This is my second child at this school I enrolled her in not even a month ago. The owners are always involved in the school & at least one of them is at the school. They have renovated the school very nicely & is clinically clean for me. They have so many activities other than play & education. My daughter loved the easter egg hunt & my 1st child also wanted to participate as he could remember what he enjoyed 3 years ago. I will not take my daughter to public school until she turns 6 years as they learn so much compared to public schools. There are so many extra activities such as today`s dentist visit with a robot. Events like these help any kid to go to school as they see different interesting things during school hours. We get to meet all the parents at least 4 times a year which is helpful to get to know each other. I can write so many things like this & I do not know how to thank the admin & the staff for the care they give all the students.”

“As the CEO of Kids in the Spotlight, I had the pleasure of being a VIP guest at North Hollywood Christian Academy's Career Day, and it was such a fantastic experience! The school is beautiful, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The teachers and staff were incredibly friendly and dedicated, creating a nurturing environment for the students. And speaking of the students—wow! They were so smart, engaged, and eager to learn. It was truly inspiring to see their curiosity and enthusiasm. Thank you for an amazing day!❤️?❤️”

“We are very happy with Haykazunyadz Preschool. The teachers are kind and caring, and my daughter enjoys going there every day. The environment is warm, safe, and supportive for children. Thank you for taking such good care of the kids!”

“We love this sweet school. Our first child went for three years and loved it. Now our second is in his second year and the it's the same nurturing caring environment. They literally ask to stay longer at pickup time. Particularly I love the school's balance of early education and play - not overly rigorous but a little learning each day and keeping it fun. The staff is lovely, communicative and caring.”

“Truly the best school I've ever seen. Amazing campus and teachers, and really hands on and creative. So many unique experiences that help form lifelong skills through song and art.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Apple School. The level of attention to detail the staff provides truly sets them apart—from how the classrooms are organized to how each child’s individual needs are thoughtfully addressed.

What we especially love is the incredible variety of activities offered. The program goes far beyond basic childcare, incorporating languages, robotics, math, and science in a way that keeps the kids engaged, curious, and excited to learn every day. It’s clear that the curriculum is designed with both creativity and academic development in mind by Yelena Dobrynina.

Equally important to us as parents is how well they handle daily routines. The feeding schedule is well-structured and attentive, ensuring the kids are properly nourished, and the nap times are handled with care, creating a calm and restful environment that is so crucial for their growth and mood.

Overall, Apple School provides a balanced, enriching, and nurturing environment. We feel confident knowing our child is not only safe and cared for, but also thriving and learning in such a thoughtful setting. Highly recommend!”

“Our son attended My Lastochka for almost 2.5 years, and we could not be happier with this experience. This daycare center is truly wonderful — the teachers are caring, attentive, and very professional. Every child is surrounded by love and thoughtful guidance, creating safe and nurturing environment.
We always knew that our son was in good hands, not only learning and developing new skills, but also growing up in an atmosphere of kindness and respect. We are deeply grateful to the whole team at My Lastochka for their dedication and heartfelt work - Anna, Irina, Alina, Amuna and others. It has been an important and beautiful chapter in our child’s life!
Amazing daycare! Highly recommend!”

“Quality daycare in the Valley! Every time I pick up my child it is clear they had an amazing time. We enjoy the pictures and updates throughout the day. I feel very comfortable with the staff. There is a sense of community and the birthday parties, picture days, and art projects make it feel special”

“We Love Love Love Little Treehouse Academy! My daughter started in May 2024 and at first was very shy and scared. The staff did the absolute best to reassure her and myself she was safe and taken care of. A year later, she now looks forward to school everyday and come home to tell me all about it!
Every morning when I drop off my daughter, every single staff has a smile on their face and even at the end of the day, which lets me know they really do love their job.
Ms. Anna is the best at organizing activities for the kids including a petting Zoo, water play in the summer, music classes, yoga, and other very fun activities that my daughter loves to participate in.
Ms. Nadia goes above and beyond for her students and I know this because when my daughter was having trouble at nap time, she came home to tell me that Ms. Nadia sat next to her and rubbed her back to help her go to sleep.
We love the healthy foods they provide at breakfast, lunch and early dinner. I think the best thing about LTA is that it’s a multicultural school which exposes the kids to different ethnicities and languages to start them early at navigating the world around them. We will be very sad when it is graduation time but very very grateful for the time and bonds that took place. Thank you Little Treehouse Academy!”

“My two sons attended COV Developmental Preschool all 3 years and we couldn't have had a better experience. We are so sad to be graduating at the end of this year. Nancy is a calm and discerning Director. The teachers clearly love coming to work each day. The gentle play based schooling is exactly what we wanted for our kids' preschool experience. Outside play, arts and crafts, and themed learning are all things they did daily. This place is a hidden gem. Run, don't walk, to sign your kids up!”

“I can’t thank enough for the programs that has offered by the preschool. My 2 children had attended over 20 years ago, and everything that they had learned was Worth it! God bless their staffs!!”

“Great school! Teachers and the entire faculty show their commitment and passion in providing a supportive, and engaging learning environment for all the students. The school community makes us feel valued, and supported as members of the Our Lady of Peace family! Thank you for all you do!”

“Both of my kiddos attended this preschool for two years each, and we always felt they were safe and cared for. The director and teachers were attentive and responsive to the kiddos and their needs. Both kids learned to write their names at just 3 years old, had homework that prepared them well for elementary school, and even got to help with a garden project that is still going strong! It was also reasonably priced, and overall we had a positive experience with the nurturing environment.”

“My two grandchildren attended Cadence (Wiley Canyon Road, Valencia), and both thrived there. The teachers, assistants, and staff were loving and vigilant. They all seemed to know my grandkids' names and consistently acknowledged them. Fun, respect, and learning were applied daily. Wish we had more grandchildren to send to Cadence!”

“Our granddaughter has attended A Mother Goose Academy for 2.5 years and we’ve been quite impressed with the school. The teachers and staff are warm, caring, and talented. They have nurtured our student to be excited about learning and her academic development is thrilling to observe. Both campuses are stimulating and safe. The curriculum is creative and engaging. Our family has been quite pleased by this school and highly recommend A Mother Goose Academy to prospective families.”

“We couldn't be happier with our experience at Beginnings Learning Center! From the very beginning, the teachers and staff have been incredibly kind, patient, and nurturing. Our son has come to love it and looks forward to going everyday.

The environment is safe, clean, and welcoming, with a perfect balance of play and structured learning. We've seen so much growth in our son's social skills, confidence, and creativity. Furthermore, we appreciate the regular updates and photos as well as all the fun activities the school plans for the kids!

What we love most is the genuine care the staff shows for each child--they treat them like family. We have had the pleasure of having him in Ms. Azo and Ms. Evelyn's class last year and now in Ms. Lina and Ms. Fabi's. It's comforting to know our child is in such capable and loving hands and we love seeing the growth in our son daily. We highly recommend Beginnings Learning Center to any parent looking for a positive and enriching early education experience!”

“My daughter has been attending this school for 2 years now. The teachers there aren't your average teachers they are truly passionate in educating and caring for these young minds. My daughter loves the school and her teachers!
Thank you Kids Town!!”

“I just want to say how incredibly grateful we are for St. Mary School and their amazing summer camp. My kids absolutely loved it—they enjoyed every moment and came home happy and excited each day. It was clear they were not only having fun but also learning and growing in a positive, faith-based environment.

We truly feel blessed to be part of a school that follows God’s guidance in everything they do. The values, care, and love shown by the staff made a big impact on our family.

We will definitely be bringing our kids back every summer, and I wholeheartedly recommend this camp to any parent looking for a joyful, meaningful, and well-run summer experience for their children.

Thank you, St. Mary School, for everything!”

“Little Learners deserves more than 5 stars! My 2 year old son loves to come to school here, he happily knocks on the front door every morning! They provide lunch & snacks as well as dance class every Wednesday & fun activities fridays!

I love how my son has learned to communicate more since coming here!

The facility is very clean & organized!

Teachers are amazing & you can tell they love what they do :)

As for ms.shazna she is for the children! She makes fun activities for the children and makes sure there learning & having fun while they do it!”

“This review is so long overdo. My daughter attended Learning Place from the age of just turning 2 to 5 years old. Bringing her when she was 2 was the hardest but best thing we decided to do as parents. I was STILL in the thick of SEVERE postpartum depression and I felt like I had finally found a place where I felt comfortable leaving my daughter for hours. They made sure not only my daughter felt welcome but that us as parents felt a relief too. I constantly got picture the first month to ease my anxiety.
The facility was ALWAYS clean and maintained even with the diapers that are constantly being changed. My daughter was so prepared to start Kindergarten because of what she learned at Learning Place and was noticeably more confident in the new material that she would learn. Learning place has invested so much in materials and activities that are not only fun for the kids but educational.
Ms. Enereyda and Ms. Veronica are the two teachers who were there consistently in the time we were there and I know me and my daughter miss them dearly since we have left. The directors Mr. & Mrs. B are so involved in the whole program and they treat the kids like an extension of their family.
Learning place was the best investment we made and if our family is ever blessed with another baby we will definitely be returning. Can't speak highly enough about this place.”

“We spent a total of 2 years at Inspire learning center. Overall it was a great experience we really loved and appreciated the teachers! Safety was a priority and when incidents occurred we were contacted via phone or through the app. Some challenges for us a parents were the hours and the frequent days off from school.”

“A lot has changed since my daughter went here. I'm hoping the new Assistant principal Mr. P kicks things into gear. Just not the same. The school has a different vibe. Seems like the school is losing a lot of programs I'm glad Mr. Harwell is there to keep the kids in line. Educators are well prepared for the most part. In my opinion, the archdiocese should save its money and put it towards the school for renovations and other programs instead of wasting it on a president...Why would the school need a President if they have a principal? School dances are almost non existent! Hopefully things will begin to turn around.”

“We had an amazing experience with this district, especially with Mrs Anna Walker and Rick Godina.
Having left the district for 1 year to LAUSD, we are coming back because of these amazing people who cared and supported our child so much. I couldn’t be happier and more grateful. As a mom who has a child with special needs, coming back to this district was the best decision I could make for my son. Hopeful for my son’s future!”

“Weekday Preschool is one of kind! Our son and daughter are always so excited to attend school. Both of our children loved their teachers.

Our son attended the Orange door with Mrs. Rachna and Mrs. Melissa. The teachers nurtured his interests, cared about his development, and engaged him in learning through play. Both his teachers are great at what they do.

Our daughter attended the Hand and Hand program with Mrs. Erin. Her teacher taught the students how to follow a routine that in my opinion gets them ready for preschool. They played yet also learned to sit through circle time, and do little art projects. Our little one learned so much this past school year.”

“I can’t say enough positive things about Petite School House! The staff, teachers, everyone made my child’s transition to preschool so much easier from day one. As a parent, I was nervous as my kid was spreading her wings. But once I saw how the teachers accepted my daughter with open arms, I was relived. Every single teacher in the school was deeply invested in my child’s growth and well-being. My daughter came home everyday learning something new. The Director, Mrs. Salmeena, creates an environment for every kid to feel safe and thrive. She genuinely loves each and every one of the kids. And not to mention the food served to the kids is healthy and a great variety. Takes yet another burden off the mom’s plate to prepare lunches, and my kid came home full and satisfied. Overall, this school was an important and great step is starting my daughter’s schooling journey.”

“Choosing the right school for your child is like throwing a stone into a pond; the effects will “ripple” through the rest of their lifetime. That’s why it’s important to make a good decision for elementary school, as it will affect their choices for middle school, high school, and college.

When we visited the Kirk School in Reseda for the first time, we knew we had found the right place for our daughter to spend her formative years. Now, with our daughter on the cusp of graduation, she is well-prepared and ready to take on middle school and beyond.

Kirk is not your average elementary school. From our very first one-on-one tour with the principal, we could see that Kirk provided a safe and nurturing environment for kids, with teachers who were invested in the total well-being and growth of the students. We were especially taken with the Kindergarten class that had four teachers and vibrant, engaged kids who were hanging on to the teachers’ every word.

From the first class bell to the end-of-day dismissal, kids have classes in a variety of subjects, including math, science, English, art, tech, and music, led by caring, committed teachers who go above and beyond to give kids a special experience. Our daughter loves learning and has thrived at Kirk, and we have the Kirk teachers to thank for instilling that in her.

The positive experiences are not just limited to the classrooms. With special school-wide holiday events, after-school extracurriculars, and monthly award assemblies, kids thrive here and exceed expectations with their growth mindset. As our daughter prepares to move on to middle school, we are beyond thrilled with her growth and thankful that we made this decision way back before Kindergarten.

Definitely take the tour yourself and see why Kirk is such a special place. Kirk has so much to offer, and you will be setting up your child well for the rest of their life.”

“Inspiring and dynamic clergy, warm and devoted members, fabulous religious and Hebrew school that the kids love, excellent adult education programming, and I appreciate their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and welcoming everyone.”

“Both my children began WeVillage from the time they were babies. My youngest started at 9 weeks and now she is 20 months! I always felt like my kids were safe, cared for, and adored. The people who cared for them always felt like a second family and I looked forward to chatting with them at drop off and pick up. My kids loved going here and there was never a tear when dropping off. If anything, they were like "bye mom! I need to go play now, go!" They were given opportunities to thrive and be their silly selves. We are going to miss WeVillage when we move! Thank you for caring for our babies during this special time.”

“Our two kids have attended Achievers for over a year, and we couldn't be happier. I was a preschool teacher in LA for years and know a good program when I see one. The teachers are patient and kind but know how to challenge kids. An on-site chef makes a hot breakfast and lunch daily, and they get healthy snacks. The director, Priscilla, is organized, attentive, and calm under pressure. There are always floater teachers who can offer extra support. Every class has its own enclosed and shaded playground with like-new apparatus and equipment. They have a dedicated parking lot! I could go on.

It's more than full-time care at an affordable price; it's a supportive environment where your kid can grow and make friends.”
