Schools near Porter Ranch, CA

“Had my daughter here for almost a year, and honestly, it’s def a great school. My daughter is 3, and they challenged her and put her in a 4 year old program, which was amazing because she’s so advanced now in comparison to her friends her age. I’m so proud at how patient the teachers are, the only thing i didn’t like is the cash payments for food but everything was was great!”

“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”

“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!”

“Our experience with Tutor Time in Stevenson Ranch, from September 2023 to August 2025, has been exceptional. Our three-year-old daughter, new to all-day childcare, was met with a warm and welcoming environment right from the start, making the enrollment process seamless.

Initially, our daughter was quiet and reserved, but it was clear she was comfortable and enjoying her time. As the months passed, she blossomed, becoming more open and showing her personality. We consistently received updates on her behavior, highlighting both her strengths and areas for development. By the end of her time at Tutor Time, her development far surpassed our expectations, preparing her remarkably well for Pre-Kindergarten.

She absolutely loved the diverse range of extracurricular activities offered, including Karate, Dance, Soccer, Music, and Art, as well as various holiday events. We also enjoyed visiting the center for special occasions and holiday celebrations. The staff consistently impressed us with their friendliness, excellent communication, and pleasant demeanor. The Sprout About app was an invaluable tool, providing intuitive updates and allowing us to stay connected with her daily activities.

Overall, our experience with Tutor Time was a perfect 10/10. We highly recommend it.”

“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!!”

“The staff at The Boulevard is so warm and welcoming. They helped this anxious mom transition my 2 year old boy to start school smoothly with very little tears from both of us! He loves showing off his art work when I pick him up from school. His language and social skills have improved so much since the start of the year. I’m so proud of him and so happy for him to attend The Boulevard!”

“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!”

“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!”

“My son started at 2 years old and he LOVES it. The teachers and all the staff are so gentle, fun, and overall incredible teachers. The daily activities are so fun and educational. My son is almost 4, going into a new class there and we can't wait. He asks to go to school on the weekends he loves his teachers and friends so much. It's great having a school where I can send my son and have complete peace of mind. Also to mention, the parents here are also incredible! The fundraising events are absolutely stellar and fun for both the parents and kids while raising money for the school. Can't beat this community! So grateful for SOPNS!”

“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!!”

“Our family had such a wonderful experience with Stepping Stones Children’s Center. My 3-year-old attended for a year, and we were always impressed by how caring and attentive the staff were.

Ms. Val was an incredible teacher who made my son feel comfortable and excited to go to school every day. He really bonded with her, and we appreciated how patient and warm she was with all the kids.

Joelene, the director, was fantastic as well. She kept everything organized and always communicated clearly about any questions or updates. You can tell she is passionate about creating a positive environment for the children.

Another big plus is that the tuition is very reasonable compared to other preschools in the area, and lunch is included, which was so convenient for our busy mornings.

Overall, we’re so happy we chose Stepping Stones. It’s a safe, friendly place where our son learned so much and had a lot of fun. We highly recommend it to any parents looking for a great preschool experience.”

“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!”

“A wonderful experience for my children and I. The Director and teachers are all warm and open to communication. It feels safe, friendly, educational and my kids still ask to go back. The summer program was full of fun activities and we still have some keepsake crafts from that summer. Love this school and highly recommend it!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“i came here requesting information on some therapeutic recommendations and therapies for my friend whose teenage child has been going through some serious issues and they seemed genuinely knowledgeable and caring enough so I am giving a five star rating...”

“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.”

“I have three sons, all whom attended Devonshire preschool and infant care through the last seven years. My youngest is about to complete his preschool work and set to start kindergarten soon. The staff have been incredibly helpful in his development like they did for my older kids. The staff is open and trustworthy and open working with each kid. We're going to miss them all especially Ms. Cynthia. She has been great preschool teacher to my youngest and has helped build a solid foundation for my kids to start kindergarten. We are very grateful for all of their help with our kids.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Beautiful, nurturing, magical little school! My son has been here for 2 years. The teachers are all excellent and dedicated to every aspect of a child’s education, growth and social progress. I have spent a lot of time volunteering during the school day and have personally witnessed all aspects of this wonderful little school. The lessons range from geography, science and world cultures to just to mention a few. Everything is hands on teaching and experiences. Math and language are taught through Montessori materials that make these important concepts visual and concrete. The school Director, Vanessa, is also the Art teacher and wow! Your children will be creating some incredible, beautiful projects to treasure forever. My son starts Kindergarten in the fall. We will miss this school so much! I’m so happy he experienced pre-school at Greenleaf. It was the best decision we made for this tender chapter of his life. We will always cherish this time. Do not hesitate with this school. Schedule a tour and get to know Greenleaf!”

“I want to say thanks to all NSD schools. My child attended different schools in the NSD because of our moving. I saw that all teachers were professional and had very good skills as a teacher. I am an academician, so education is very important for me . At the same time, my child was so happy at the school. It is important as education. Also,I feel lucky because NSD managed the pandemic period very well. On the other hand, I think that Santa Clarita Valley is so lucky because of the Superintendent Jeff Pelzel. He is so professional and so friendly to every family. You can reach him very easily and always gives you positive advice as soon as possible. We are still inside the NSD and look forward to the start of the new education year.. Online education is not easy, but I believe NSD has made the necessary preparations professionally for new year.Thanks to all staff !”

“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.”

“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.”

“There are no words to describe how much we have come to love The Language Grove preschool. The dreaded tearful day has finally arrived where we must leave this warmth and nurturing environment into the real world of kinder. This has been the best decision we have ever made for our son. We wish that every family could experience the genuine passion each staff member has in celebrating each students unique personality and allowing them to explore and build on their young curiosity, individuality, and desire. This preschool not only fosters strong relationships between children and teachers but among families. The community events, farmers markets, and newsletter posting allows the parents to be active members in this energetic and warm community. The school has a clear mission to raise confident socially aware bilingual children, while preparing them to be joyful learners of the next generation. This haven of learning establishment is made possible starting with the passion of the head of the table Director, Ms. Yessy.
Ms Yessy is deeply receptive and attentive to the need of each child in relation to their growth and development. It is with no surprise that these wonderful attributes reflect in every words and action of the caring teachers of the school.
Our son cherishes his teacher Ms. Andrea, and talks about how much they laugh together. This has been such a joyful, enriching experience for our family and we’re just so grateful to have been a part of this special community. Even though life goes on and our little one has to move forward with his learning experience, we will without doubt carry in our hearts the memories of each one of them. Starting with Ms Yessy, Ms Andrea and all the other members of the school included. From the bottom of heart thank you Language Grove.”

“I have a total of 3 children. They range in ages from 11, 7 and lastly 3 years old. My children have attended a home day care connected to Kids 1st Learning Center or gone to the Kids 1st Learning Center in Pacoima or San Fernando. Throughout the 10 years of being with Kids 1st Learning Center I have loved the quality of care they provide. The teachers are so loving and patient. That's what keeps me coming back to them!They make the enrollment process easy. They give you plenty of notice for the recertification period. If a document is missing they are understanding and give you a reasonable time to turn in documents. I love the office staff in Pacoima and San Fernando. Special shout out to Mrs. Gloria for always being so friendly and knowledgeable!Shout out to Mrs. Patricia D. and Mrs. Rhonda R.! Mrs. Patricia took great care of my son JC back in 2016-2018. Mrs. Rhonda takes great care of my son Mikey. I love them both dearly and I am so grateful for their services!Thank you Kids 1st Learning Center! Y'all are appreciated ❤”
