I can't do this school justice for how amazing it is. First of all, the environment is so warm, welcoming, and fun. My daughter loved it so much! They really helped the kids to develop amazing social skills and close friendships. I've also been so impressed by the academics! The teachers are amazing and really prioritize actual learning. Yet somehow, they manage to do that and still have so many fun crafts, activities, events, and more! But honestly, one of the most unique parts about them is their parent communication is hands down far and above any school I've ever heard of. I actually knew what they were doing in school each day, which really helped me to have conversations outside of school with my daughter. I swear it's one of the many reasons her vocabulary is so much stronger after attending United Children's Learning Academy. We all love this school, these teachers, and the amazing families who go here!

Both of our daughters went to United and we had a great experience. The teachers and staff truly care for the kids, I couldn't speak higher of them. They've accomplished a great balance there of letting the kids have fun and play/socialize, but also teaching and preparing them for Kindergarten. My daughter who just graduated United in the spring can already read books! Class sizes are relatively small so everyone gets a lot of one-on-one attention. The school is well maintained and safe, with a gated parking lot. Our daughters loved it and made lots of friends. We'd definitely recommend the school to others, and again, to me, the highlight is its wonderful teachers.

I completely and wholeheartedly agree 100% with everything Lina, Mala and Rachel said in their reviews below. Our daughter spent 2 years at United, and I believe she is as ready for Kindergarten as she could possibly be. Amazing school, staff and community of families have given our daughter a lifetime of memories. It is definitely a bittersweet new chapter in her life to start Kindergarten since she will be moving on from United. I highly recommend this preschool!

If you are searching for a preschool that is safe, clean, academic based all while being nurturing and fun, then United Children's Learning Academy is the perfect place for you and your child. After the lockdown, I was super hesitant in sending my two children to a daycare. I came in for my tour and was blown away by how amazing the facility looked - the large space, layout, playground, bathroom, classrooms, even a computer room - it felt almost too good to be true. Then I met all the great teachers, (shoutout to Ms Ambra, Ms Carolina, Ms Ashley, Ms Morgan and Ms Silvia) and now I really felt like it was way too awesome to be true. But the minute my kiddos met the teachers and mind you, this is more than 2 years after being stuck at home from a pandemic, my kids did not want to leave school once they started and I knew this was the one. I was able to watch them grow so much, learning something new every day! Their days were structured yet always incorporated with new themes and fun activities daily. I watched my kids flourish into smart, bright and super funny kids, all thanks to the wonderful love and care that the staff and teachers provided. I am super sad to be leaving the school now and wish we could stay with the UCLA family :( this was such an amazing time spent and the priceless memories my children will have forever.

In the early 1970s this was an American Motors dealership. It was once featured on “Adam-12.”

We've been with United since August 2021 and we absolutely love the teachers, staff and the families that attend! Everyone here are so kind and loving to the kids; it really shows. Another thing I love about this school is that they incorporate education!!!! Yes, there's tons of play base but they incorporate education which is a big winner for me!! They do a good amount of TK work and it's modified to work with the child. My son is almost 4 and I know academically and socially he'll be prepared for kindergarten next year! Lastly, I feel like the kids are in a safe place. There's no way anyone can waltz into this school because there's the security gate, front door remains locked, and there's another door before going to the elevator. The kids are safe! Highly recommend!

Our son began United in March of this year. I have to say we have been so impressed with the patience, attention and guidance our son has received. Ms. Ambra, Ms. Carolina, Ms. Ashley and Ms. Morgan have all been to welcoming not only to our LO but also to us! Everyday our son is so excited for school, and cannot wait to learn. The United staff has found creative ways to keep the children engaged and learning while adhering to the most current CDC guidelines. The school is impeccably clean which we really appreciate. The front office is also very organized making sure that the parents are always reminded of the weeks events. Ms. Silvia is wonderful and always available to answer questions. This is a wonderful pre-k school. We plan on sending our daughter there next year.

A castle is a type of fortified structure built during the Middle Ages predominantly by nobility. Scholars debate the scope of the word castle, but usually consider it to be the private fortified residence of a lord or noble. In this case, United Children's Learning Academy (UCLA) is castle of education for our daughter and her classmates. The school balances art, math, music, science and physical fitness. Not going to lie that the school that our Child attended in Seattle was next to a water canal that is part of Lake Washington that links Lake Washington to Puget Sound. It was beautiful. While UCLA is not located next to a lake or park -- the school, the teachers, the administrators and the parents work together to create unique and beautiful experiences for our children in and outside of the classroom. Did I mention the strong diversity and inclusion of the students and their parents? I have spent time inside and outside the classroom with teachers, parents and our Child's classmates -- theatre, halloween, birthday, shopping, Dad's hanging out with the kids, etc. I truly believe that inside each classroom there is royalty. In these classrooms, there are tiny humans that will eventually grow up one day to lead different people, ventures, organizations, countries, etc. UCLA provides our Child the structure, social time, interaction time, empathic limits, downtime and education that preschoolers need to one become successful King and Queens.

Amazing amazing school with great staff and teachers. We were looking to move houses but decided not to because we love the school and need to stay in the area. Love the small class sizes and the academic focused curriculum.

United is hands down the best preschool in all of LA. I'm really picky and we actually sent our daughter to another local preschool for a couple weeks but had to pull her out because she wouldn't stop crying all day long. Once we put her in UCLA, she adapted very quickly and loves all of her teachers (especially her main teacher Ms. Ashley) We were thinking about moving to the west side and encino but decided not to because we want to send our two kids to UCLA. We love the small class sizes, super clean facility (my daughter never gets sick), great building, gated campus, amazing staff and teachers, and great academic curriculum with extracurricular activities daily.

I went to check out this learning academy for my son but was extremely turned off by the amount of trash on the street around the building and parking lot - the the sidewalk and around their fence. If they have so little respect for the community that they can't pick up the trash that gathers on the sidewalk around the school - and they care so little about first impressions, then this is not a place for my son. If I see trash on the street near my home I pick it up. I care about my community. They should care more about the community around them and what kind of impression it gives the world when there is trash, old shoes, drug paraphernalia and panties laying on the sidewalk in front of their business. Even the Honda dealer up the street cleans the sidewalks around their dealership because they care more about the community than the officials at this school.

UCLA is the best preschool I have ever seen. It's even more apparent now that we moved and had to switch schools. After researching so many schools, it was so hard to settle for another preschool. The level of care and personal attention is unparalleled. My daughter was with Ms Ashley who is amazing, she really is a toddler whisperer. My kid still talks about her, she was really loved and learned so much. But it's their curriculum that most impressed me. They really do strive for the highest level and believe in a child's unlimited potential. At 2.5 my kid was starting to read! The best part was that every week kids attend gardening, music, dance and yoga classes with professional in the field. This is included in the tuition. Do you know how much time and money I have to spend to do all of these things now. Running all over town... I used to have it all in one place... Also, I loved that UCLA gave the children many opportunities to have performances. So many, that my kid started to enjoy being on stage and I loved watching it. All the parents had a ball at these events. I felt lucky to meet parents who were friendly and were very involved with the school. You just get more... of everything. You many pay a bit more, but you have to consider the amazing facility, the level of education, their philosophy and all of the quality educators who really end up knowing and loving your children. I miss you terribly UCLA. But I feel blessed to have had my child experience such a wonderful school!

The teachers and staff at UCLA are kind, warm, and special people. The school itself is clean, well managed, and safe. My daughter LOVED going to school and spoke highly of all the teachers there. The art they produce and the activities they are exposed to are wonderful. I love when she came home with a radish or carrot plucked from the garden! Watching her flourish and perform during the school shows make me tear up! Everyone works so hard to help nurture your child. My daughter has grown so much and learned such a great deal in the past year. My only regret is that I did not discover UCLA sooner to enroll my child and sad we had to move away so that I can't enroll my younger one! It truly is a gem of a school in every regard!

And we're back for round 2! Our daughter now attends United and shes flourishing. Her teacher is absolutely amazing (and so are the other teachers and staff). I love that We get updates throughout the day. We love it! This school has been a blessing! Our son has blossomed and thrived in this setting. Some of the most amazing teachers and administrators I've ever encountered. You just know they truly love and care for your child. Can't wait for my daughter to attend.

This school was an incredible discovery! We took a tour and immediately canceled our other tours. We knew this was the one. Our 5 year old is in Kindergarten here and 2 year old is in pre-school. Their day is filled with activities and learning that is fun. The teachers are amazing and truly love the kids. Our kids love school and want to go back every day. Their growth has been exponential, it's been beautiful to watch. Tuition is more affordable than expected. Best of all, when we found it there was no waiting list. If you're thinking about this school, just take the tour. You'll be glad you did.
