Schools in Glendale, CA

“Learning Place Preschool has been a gift to our family. Our daughter started at age 2 speaking very few words and made remarkable progress within a year. We felt that she needed speech therapy, so they accommodated the therapist to visit the school as well. The teachers do exercises with the kids before they start their daily routine before the circle time, they love it. The teachers are amazingly kind and attentive to details. Ms Vero who is the Director goes an extra step ahead thoughtfully labeling painting & work she completed during the week. They send all work during the week on every Friday home so we get to know all what they work during school. The school has playful, creative, and balanced—language, social-emotional learning, arts, outdoor play, and curiosity-driven projects. The management is always accessible & they keep everything updated which is amazing. We can recommend the school wholeheartedly to anyone who is looking for a preschool.”

“Recently I signed my child up here, I knew they had 30 years of experience, I saw all of the activities they offer through their instagram, and it all looked very promising, and after bringing my child for one month, I have to say that I am not disappointed one bit. So far I only signed my child up for painting, but I’m going to have to do the other things as well, not every place offers this many things for you child let alone that the teachers are so talented and teach so well that you child starts developing the skill fast and you see changes in them. My sons birthday wasn’t too long ago and I rented the area, the amount of services that came was overwhelming, this place is truly a jack of all trades and I really recommend bringing your child here, you won’t be disappointed one second!!”

“As parents, choosing the right school for our children was one of the most important decisions we’ve ever made. After visiting Glendale Montessori, we immediately felt something different — a sense of wonder, purpose, and genuine care that we hadn’t seen anywhere else. Looking back now, enrolling our children there was truly life-changing. Our children have often said it was such a wonderful experience and would want their children to also attend.

The Montessori approach at Glendale isn’t just about academics (though our children thrived there too); it’s about developing confidence, curiosity, and compassion. The classrooms are stimulating , beautiful spaces where children learn by doing, exploring, and following their interests at their own pace.

What stands out most is the interest the teachers show each child. They don’t just teach — they guide, listen, and nurture. Our children became more independent, responsible, and confident than we ever imagined at that age.

Glendale Montessori doesn’t just educate children; it helps them discover who they are and what they’re capable of. We are forever grateful for the foundation it has given our children — not just for school, but for life.”

“My oldest son has already graduated from Kara Preschool and started school with a very strong foundation. His English level is close to that of a native speaker, which makes us especially happy considering that we rarely speak English at home.

At the same time, my younger son is still attending Kara Preschool, and we continue to see the same high level of care, education, and attention every day.

I also really appreciate that the preschool teaches Armenian as well — I truly believe that the more languages we know, the more we grow as people, as the saying goes.

The food is excellent, the staff is very warm and welcoming, and the working hours are extremely convenient for parents. I also like that the preschool is spacious and well-organized, with children separated into age-appropriate groups, which creates a comfortable and supportive environment.

We are very happy with Kara Preschool and highly recommend it to other families”

“Our son attended this nursery school from the time he was just 8 months old until he was 3 years and 2 months old, and the experience has been nothing short of extraordinary for our family. From day one, we felt genuinely cared for, not only by the teaching staff and administration, but also by the church community, maintenance team, and even the kitchen staff. Every interaction was marked by warmth, kindness, and a sincere love for the children.

What truly set this school apart was the sense of community. Nearly every staff member knew our son by name and took the time to engage with him in meaningful ways. It created an environment where he felt safe, seen, and valued every single day. As parents, that kind of trust and reassurance is priceless.

Leaving was incredibly difficult because this school became such an important part of our lives. The team here did not just provide care, they laid a strong foundation for our son’s academic, social, and spiritual development. We are deeply grateful for the impact they have had on him and on our family. We truly could not speak more highly of this wonderful community and will always hold them close to our hearts. We already look forward to returning each summer for Vacation Bible School.”

“One of the best schools my daughter ever attended. Seriously, they care about our children and alwaya have a plan for drop off and pick up. Thank you we had such a wonderful experience. Special thank you to Mrs. Gohart, the sweetest lady ever”
