Schools in Los Angeles, CA

“An absolutely amazing school - a magical place for little ones! Both my children attend Happy Birch and I couldn't wish for a better place. Beautiful space, fantastic teachers.. just the best of the best.”

“The school offers many programs in different fields. The instructors and staff are friendly and very helpful. They really care about the students and make sure they have everything they need to succeed. I had an overall great experience at this school and in the pharmacy technician course.”

“From the moment I registered, I knew I made the right choice. The teachers are knowledgeable, passionate, and truly committed to student success. They explain concepts clearly, use practical examples, and always take the time to answer questions. The learning experience has been outstanding—highly recommended!”

“My son is always happy to go. He likes the teachers, the kids, and the food. Above all. An environment where education and needs of children are taken seriously.”

“Well, I like the school because of how attentive and friendly the teachers are to the students. I don't speak English so they try to talk to me in Spanish.⊂⁠(⁠◉⁠‿⁠◉⁠)⁠つ”

“Building Blocks Christian Academy has been a gift to our family. Our daughter started at age 3 speaking very little English and made remarkable progress within a year. She literally jumps into school every morning, which says everything about how safe and loved she feels. The teachers are incredibly kind and attentive to details; they even thoughtfully labeled her painting with the date and a little note! The pedagogy is playful, creative, and balanced—language, social-emotional learning, arts, outdoor play, and curiosity-driven projects. Communication with parents is clear and caring. We’re so grateful for BBCA and recommend it wholeheartedly.”

“I resisted Transcendental Meditation for nearly five years and was convinced it wasn’t for me. I finally received the course as a Christmas gift in 2025 — and it has truly changed my life.

I told Danny Goodman upfront that I have severe ADHD and didn’t believe I could sit still for 20 minutes. He met me with patience and calm confidence and showed me how to work with the meditation instead of fighting myself. That made all the difference.

Since learning TM, I’ve experienced deep emotional release — many times tears quietly stream down my face during meditation, and I come out feeling reset and grounded. This practice has helped me tremendously while coping with the overwhelming insurance process after my home was damaged in the Palisades fire. My sleep is noticeably better, and after my morning meditation I now feel clear about my priorities for the day.

I’m deeply grateful for Danny’s guidance and compassion. I highly recommend learning TM with him, especially if you think you “can’t meditate” — I used to believe the same.”

“I like fusion I am a student my name is axi and I am righting this becase my teacher gave me a cup of ice in a flower pot for my Starbucks drink so if anyoen wants free ice go to James”

“Amazing experience , for body mind and most important spiritual grow , affordable prices and best teachers, satnam to hari har ?? And all the people who make this possible”

“Crestwood is SPECIAL! In a city full of pre schools, most of which are great, non stood out to us like Crestwood. Our now 9-year-old daughter started there just before Covid. Her experience was not typical because of the pandemic but the teachers and director took the initiative to make it work and work well. The school went digital for just a few weeks and then had a plan to bring everyone back. Most of Crestwood is outdoors, which was such a advantage to us while all of this was happening (and really at all other times).
Kids and teachers went back with masks, and it was like any other time at Crestwood, just amazing! The kids didn’t mind the masks, and it was just the new norm for the next year+.
Crestwood is a Co-op where parents volunteer once a month and I have to admit was not sure I would be able to do at first but by the time our daughter graduated I could get enough, so much that I was concerned at her next school I would not be allowed to volunteer as much as I wanted to, which turned out to not be the case…
Once we had our son (who is there now), we had our daughter enrolled at her current school in the complete opposite direction, but knew we wanted him to have the same experience she did at Crestwood. Convince was never part of our consideration, it just had to be Crestwood!
He loves it there as much as our daughter did and now we are back at what we feel is our second home and our community.
The teachers and director are truly the best of the best at their careers, and they love these children as if they are their own.
Any opportunity that our 9 year old has to go back to Crestwood when she is off of school she jumps at, and still can’t get enough.
I truly believe there is no better pre-school, and no better teachers or school director anywhere on earth. It’s just amazing!”

“I went for Tats N Babes and it was great! Everyone was so sweet and queer. The shop in the front was adorable with lots of great artists. I also loved the gallery walls. I can't wait to go back for more events.”

“This Site holds some of the most helpful, empathetic and attentive staff of any SA We have worked with. Not only do they do their best to provide assistance and referrals whenever possible, They also go out of their way to make any experience with Them caring and genuine. Honestly, I would give Them 10 Stars if possible!”

“We absolutely love Just Like Moms Preschool!
Our child has been attending this daycare for several months now, and we couldn’t be happier. The teachers are incredibly warm, attentive, and truly care about each child. You can feel that they love what they do — and the kids feel it too.

The environment is clean, safe, and full of fun activities that help the children learn, grow, and explore at their own pace. Every day our son comes home happy, singing songs and talking about his friends and what he learned.

It really feels like a second home. As parents, we feel confident and at peace knowing that he is in such good hands. We are so grateful to have found Just Like Moms!

Highly recommend to any family looking for a caring, joyful, and well-organized preschool.”

“I can't say enough about this lovely little school- our son loved it, we loved it. The social/emotional child led play based structure was exactly what our child needed after being inside for a year because of the pandemic. Gilbert and Wendy care enormously for the children, as do the other parents. It is extremely bittersweet to be moving on....If you haven't found your village yet, look no further!”

“I was on vacation in California and took my six year old daughter here for a day. She had so much fun exploring, inventing and playing with the other kids.

When we woke up the next day, the first thing my daughter said was, “I want to go back to Imaginology.”

We had plans to go to Huntington Gardens, but instead we took her back to Imaginology and dropped her off.

The adults had a nice day at the gardens and when we went to pick up my daughter from Imaginology she didn’t want to leave.

My daughter is usually very shy and anxious around new places and people. The fact that she wanted to go back the next day and was okay with being left there without me speaks volumes.

The staff is very friendly and professional.

The philosophy and activities at Imaginology changed my life and perspective on parenting/childhood development for the better.

I would for sure 10/10 recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun day with their kid.

I would also for sure 10/10 recommend this place to anyone looking to learn more about the power of imagination and play. These are such an important concepts to understand in our modern high tech cookie cutter society.

If we had one of these in Michigan, we would visit it at least every month.”

“As a parent whose child has attended Beverlywood the last two years, I can’t say enough good things about this preschool. My son absolutely loves his classmates and teachers. He is in the half immersion class and understands Spanish already. The school is quick to communicate any needs or issues arising with parents. Many parents whose child has since graduated have told me their kids were well ahead of the other kids academically in the kindergarten classes and they credit Beverlywood for that. So happy this was my son’s first school experience and as a first time parent, it was so important to feel like I was leaving him in good hands and I always felt that here. We will miss this school so much next year when he goes to kindergarten.”

“Walking into this school can transport anyone from the reality of being in downtown L.A.
Wonderfully composed music being played by all ages echo's throughout the halls of this music education institution. It's rather incredible to see so much music talent from the dedicated students that call this place home for their abilities. I have seen teachers mentoring students providing guidance on playing various instruments. There are many student ensembles here. Dedicated teachers and students are the norm here. The school also advertises free concerts to showcase the magical work that happens at the school. The venues on site for these events are designed to provide the best acoustic sound. During the weekends the school is bustling with activity. Beyond the music, I have also noticed ballet dancers.

Security staff is also welcoming and reassures parents that all the children here are looked after. Every security staff member meet here is welcoming yet also confirms patrons reasons for being present. Parking for families is provided by the school. Due note that parking is limited based on the popularity of the school and its large attendance.”

“We love Green Beginnings and of course so does our son. The teachers and admins are all excellent (with the kids as well as parents!) It’s exactly what I we hoped to find in a pre-school experience for our family.”

“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 switched my son from another daycare to UPNS as soon as he was 18 months old, and it was the best decision! The teachers are so loving, the days are filled with enriching activities and my son is so happy there with his friends. Thank you UPNS!!”

“A true school of the esoteric. An accepting, friendly, peaceful atmosphere. Like a second home. There's also a variety of useful and hard to find ritual items and books. Love and light.”

“Giselle at RLC 2 is a true gem! She is patient, kind, caring and takes very good care of the children. If I have any concerns the directors takes my needs seriously and we find resolutions together for the benefit of my son. My son is learning ALOT and is thriving. The owner is dedicated to excellence and it shows with the growth and development of my son.”

“My son went to Lyric Preschool for a year and he loved it, as did we. His teachers in the Teddy Bear class--Miss Kim, Ms. Mari, and Ms. Christina--were beyond wonderful. We could feel the love they held for the children and for their work. They helped him through potty training and napping difficulties. My son thrived there and loved the morning songs, stories they read, fun seasonal events (circus day was one of his favorites), and everyday artwork they made. We only switched him because we moved to San Francisco. We'll always remember my son's time at Lyric Preschool with great fondness.”

“I couldn't imagine a better preschool for our children. Tracie, consistently creates fun, educational activities that make learning through play a joy. She goes above and beyond, often organizing special events like petting zoos, bubble machines, gardening in the vegetable garden, cooking, yoga, and music classes, along with hosting special activities around holidays. My 4-year-old daughter, who has been here for two years, often tells me, "Miss Tracie already taught me that!" Enrolling my 4-month-old son in the infant room with Emilie and Maritza was made easy knowing he would be in a loving and nurturing environment. I'm very happy to have found First Friends; we love it here.”

“I am a Fusion alumni parent as my daughter spent 2 years at the academy. When, after some turbulent times, she started 11th grade in Pasadena in October 2017, the initial plan was she would just catch up with the curriculum she needed support with in order to re-join the mainstream school circuit in February 2018. However the innovative approach of Fusion, the amazing staff and the unique one-on-one teaching allowed my daughter to excel in her studies so much and enjoy going to school, that in the end she never left, stayed on through 12th grade and graduated from High School at Fusion in May 2019. With an excellent GPA she subsequently applied for colleges on the East Coast and was awarded a scholarship to study Performing Arts in the Big Apple.

Fusion advocates a groundbreaking, individualised approach to education. All schools should be like it.”

“My family loves and trusts Jcamp year after year. Such caring, warm and fun staff. My very active boys get excited every summer break. The weekly themes are exciting, they make news friends, see old friends, they talk about the great activities, love the snacks, and get to go swimming and on fun fieldtrips. Yes, it can be expensive but it is worth it. Easy carline pick up, excellent facility security, experienced child development professionals on staff, you can keep the kids there till 5pm if needed on long days, and best of all the camper to counselor ratio is top notch.”

“This is the best preschool daycare ever I love the staff and let’s not forget the Director Crystal she is so bomb and respectful and welcoming great hospitality, nice environment for my kids and yours , hands on education, activities, hot cooked meals , this place is just unforgettable!! If you’re looking for a good preschool for your toddlers I would highly recommend this place period !!!!! If you guys decide to visit or place your kids here , let them know that MIMI -MIKO SENT YOU !!!!!!”

“My children have attended KJSA since it's inception in 2016. Like many new schools, they went through some growing pains the first year, but I'm so glad we stuck it out with them. Principal Hunsberger and the staff really care about the students and their families. If you're looking for a school that embodies the spirit of the growth mindset then this is the school for your child. Small classroom sizes and a small campus are also a plus.”

“Great childcare with friendly and caring teachers. The environment is respectful and nurturing, and the cost-benefit is great. They always listen to parents with attention, which is greatly appreciated. Some additional extracurricular activities would be a welcome addition. Highly recommend!”
