Schools in Van Nuys, CA

“My son flourished at Apple School. Bringing my child here was one of the moments as a parent where I did everything right. He runs into the classroom every morning because he loves it so much. The teachers are smart, creative and caring. There’s outdoor time on their playground and the kids are exposed not just to important academic basics but also dance & yoga, foreign languages, music, art and lots of support for learning both academic and social. The space is beautiful, spacious and clean.And finally the administration is warm and very communicative. I feel as though I'm part of a community which has been key for both my son and myself. Choosing a preschool is a difficult task but Apple School makes it effortless. I can't recommend them enough.”

“As the Director of Clinical Experience at Pepperdine University, I work with many principals - and none are more competent than Brad Albion at Gault Elementary School. If you're looking someone who has students' best interests in mind, he is a first class principal who'll do whatever it takes to improve the education of his students (and our Pepperdine students.)”

“Two thumbs way up in the sky for this school! I sent all three of my children here and it was a wonderful, warm, and cheerful place for kids to be kids. They have tons of activities, rotating toys, guests, community events... I loved everything about it and the director is patient and truly caring about each and every child. It's sweet with a different rhythm, where the learning is almost entirely play-based and focused on social/emotional learning. I highly recommend it to anyone looking and it is a great price for what it offers as well. Give it a tour and meet the current director, Nancy. She's a gem.”

“My wife and I visited several other preschools within a 10 mile radius, and let me tell you, Hrashq is superior to those by a long shot. To us, kids being happy and full of laughter is above all. We stopped right in front of one of the other preschools in consideration and noticed a dozen kids walking inside a fenced area with three ladies just standing around. Reminded me of a scene from a typical prison movie. Children were sad and teachers uninvolved. Eventually we arrived to Hrashq. I rolled down the windows and we could immediately hear cheerful laughter of children at play, mind you, in the backyard of the building. We could hear and sense Happiness in the air. Fast forward again, to a full year with Hrashq, and our daughter is going there too now. Staff is so involved and committed to children getting the best out of two worlds - Play and academics. Let me tell you, owners and management spare no resources on delivering value. Food is always fresh and home made with in-house chefs. Every day they have different games and activities. Music teachers, Sports instructors, clowns and cartoon characters etc etc. Our kids didn't get sick during the entire year. Not once! Staff is super mindful of high sanitary and cleaning standards; outside food or toys are not allowed on premises etc. Inside the preschool is always sparkling clean and neat! Anyways, I could write for days about them. I waited over a year to leave this review. I just want to say Thank You to the owners and staff for bringing happiness and academic progress to our children! I hope there will be room for our youngest daughter next year!”

“We love this school so much both my boys went here and one is still attending! The teachers are very kind and they teach the children to be kind independent human beings. My son loves yoga and I believe because of the school they really nurture what your children love to do. My son is only 4 and doing 1st grade math. This school is a community and with parents who are involved. My child is learning French, music, Spanish, yoga and sports. He is telling me what continent and country is his favorite. They have beautiful graduation ceremonies and potlucks. The teachers are there with us crying once we say good bye. This school will be the foundation of my children's learning and I'm so proud and lucky to have found this gem”

“I had the privilege of spending nearly 4 years at Gen Shelanu Day Center, and I must say that it was a truly transformative experience for myself and my twins. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I could feel the warm and welcoming atmosphere that enveloped the center. The staff at Gen Shelanu are nothing short of exceptional. Mrs. Felicia, Mrs. Orly, Mrs. Donna, Mrs. Mrs. Azu, Mrs. Destiny ,and of course, Mrs. Ilanit are rare gems! Special thank you to Mrs. Miriam as well for cooking the most delicious food as my kids stated and always welcoming them with open arms. The center's programs and activities are thoughtfully designed to cater to the diverse needs and interests of its attendees. Whether it's educational workshops, creative arts sessions, recreational activities, or social events, Gen Shelanu provides a well-rounded experience that promotes personal growth and self-expression. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking high-quality center for their loved ones. We'll surely miss them.”

“My baby boy (7 months old) started coming here 2 weeks ago. We already had some bad experiences with other school, so I was really worried and nervous about leaving him for 9 hours. I didn't regret my choice at all. THIS SCHOOL IS AMAZING!!! In 2 weeks my baby learned to sit down on his own, to crawl, became more independent and just socialising with other baby girl. Communication has been excellent!!! I received 5-10 text messages a day with videos and photos of my baby. I was able to see what my baby is doing during the day, and it almost felt like I am with him all the time. One more important thing to mention, my baby now has feeding and sleeping schedules set, and we are following the same routine when he is at home. It was really helpful for me as a new mom. Teacher Mildred and Cynthia are amazing. I highly recommend this place!”

“My sons have both been at ONEgen since they were 3 months old (my oldest staring one month before the pandemic hit). They look forward to getting to school each day and LOVE their teachers. I have a great relationship with the office and became an active part in the Parent Association Committee allowing me to be involved in many activities and build relationships with the staff and other families. All are very welcoming and available to my million calls each day. I love the school and have seen my boys thrive over the years, despite being pandemic babies. My boys are totally in love with their friends and teachers. Thank you ONEgen Preschool!”

“I used to go here all the time To the auditorium mtgs for VGNA meetingsAnd I thought it was nice of these school to let us use it and of course the group that was they're always purchase a painted in cleaning everything up when done. There is plenty of parking there and even their small parking lot is well lit and there is street parking too. They also participated in are adopt a family program and I thought that was good of them to do research so we could help needy families.”

“This is a great school with great teachers and staff. Everyone there is truly dedicated to the education and well being of your child. There are some very exceptional teachers that really stand out and should be acknowledged for the work they do. Someone mentioned the staff and I would say don't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch. The office staff could be a little thin but I am sure that is due to budgeting issues. Also the walking your child to the room, they are trying to get your child to get use to school and doing things on their own. Also with security issues these day I don't want a bunch of parents I don't know running around the school. My two kids both Culminated from Valerio and are doing spectacular in middle school. Thank you Valerio Street Elementary School, Teachers and Staff.”
