My wife and I were looking for a place that was magical, they have singing class, real instruments, live music, they eat, they play, they have their jobs and develop their different abilities. The play area is a place where children have a very fast learning stimulation. Very good recommended, plus my son is Mexican-American and they treat him very well.

Best daycare! My daughter attended LTA and the teachers are amazing! Kind, patient, and willing to work with and help your child! The curriculum they offer is great and geared towards various areas to keep your child engaged and learning! I definitely reccomend this place!

On this TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY, I have to give a shoutout to the amazing staff at Little Treehouse Academy!!! I cannot speak enough on how fantastic LTA is. My little started when he was about 18 months, and I was concerned about putting him in child care in general. We called numerous daycares/preschools in the area with 1-2 year waitlists (thanks COVID). When I called LTA, the supervisor Heather answered and enthusiastically provided great information about the school and scheduled an in-person tour for me within the week. (To be honest, I thought it was too good to be true). After the tour, I called for some follow up questions and the owner Anna happily answered and emailed some additional resources for me. The BIGGEST things that Heather and Anna did to really reel me in were how educated and experienced they both are in child development and how willing and able they were to work with me with scheduling (maaaaajor plus!) and payment plans. Enrolling in daycare/preschool was a HUGE step for my family and they made it as easy as possible to transition. Fast forward to present-day, my son gets excited to go to school! The staff is so caring and attentive; they have smaller class sizes which was another PLUS when deciding to enroll at LTA. My son has a great rapport with his teachers... it's very sweet! His development has flourished since he started daycare (COVID kid trying to socialize and we're getting better every day). The facilities are clean and organized; they also have regularly scheduled deep cleanings. All the kiddos get 3 meals a day (for full days), which is SUPER helpful to decrease possible hangry tantrums at pick up. The administration has great communication via emails and daily/weekly updates on the app they use for the parents. I am so grateful and always happy to talk to other parents about how wonderful LTA is!

My child has attended here for 4 years. The staff care so much for the children! It has become her home away from home. They do a lot to establish structure for the children while allowing lots of free play time too! The school has continually revised their methods to be at the most efficient forms of communication, adding use of the Procare app for example, and having surveys to see how parents prefer updates (app, email, texting) . They have seen us through the pandemic which is no small task! They do parent teacher conferences so you are in the loop with how your child is progressing and have a good focus on social emotional learning. Lots of enrichment activities available too. All in all, we are so happy with our choice and will miss everyone at this school when my kiddo goes to public school!

DO NOT SEND YOUR TODDLER HERE- I wish I had read the negative reviews more carefully before sending my 2-year old to Treehouse. He was hit in the face, bitten on the arm, and then bitten on the back 3 times during the short few months he was there. When he was first hit by another child, I totally believed them when they said they would look after him and notify me immediately if he was injured again. Then several weeks later when he was bitten on the arm with broken skin, I wasn't told at all until 4 hours later at dropoff. When I met with the staff to ask what was their plan of action, the administrator asked me, "Well what do you want me to do?" This is supposed to be your #1 job, to keep the children safe. They promised me they would check his skin daily, and that they would absolutely notify me. Several weeks later, I had a NIGHTMARE experience. My son is in the bath and I see that his back is COVERED in injuries, 3 giant circular bruises. At first I didn't realize what I was seeing and I still trusted that the daycare would have told me about serious injury--- and then as it healed we saw that these were 3 human bites with clear teeth marks, skin broken in 2 places. When I approached Ms. Anna and showed her the marks, she replied "I know." I was so shocked and scared I started shaking, I didn't know teachers could be this bad. Ms. Anna told me the teachers knew that this had happened and had knowingly not told me, that they had checked his back and not seen injuries??????? (there were marks all over him, I have pictures), and had just sent him home. They said the student biting was gone, as if that solves any problem. I loved their academics and all their craft activities, but that means NOTHING if you can't communicate honestly with parents or protect children.

My son is 32 months old and he has been in my care since he was born so I was very hesitant to leave him with strangers. I work at CSUN and this school is right across the street which is why I chose it, and WoW they are so warm and welcoming to me and my son. They explained the kids' daily schedule, and their policies, and answered all of my questions. I received videos and pictures of my son playing with the kids which is a relief to know they are having fun while you are working. I highly recommend this school to parents especially those who are apprehensive about leaving their kids. Thank you again Ms. Anna and the rest of the Little Treehouse Team, keep up the good work.

We LOVE Little Treehouse Academy - The staff, teachers and program are better than we could have imagined! Our 18 month old loves going to "school" and comes home with wonderful art projects and singing new songs every week. We truly feel like she is learning and developing so much faster since she joined LTA and could not be happier. We would highly recommend this school to any parent.

Our 18-month-old has been going to the infant care program at LTA for a few months now and we couldn't be happier! She loves Ms. Natasha, and Heather, the Director is highly educated in child development and oversees everything. LTA is well organized and keeps us updated on how our little one is doing. She even comes home with art projects every week, and updates on what she is learning at school. I was so overjoyed to see this kind of engagement with an infant care program, where most never do craft projects or organized curriculums for kids under 2. Our little one has been learning and developing so quickly since she joined LTA, and we truly believe it is thanks to their wonderful staff and program. They even have weekly dance and music lessons for the kids, bring in animals (such as a tortoise and hare when they were reading the book in class) and have seasonal recitals for parents. My jaw nearly hit the floor when the on-site chef came out to ask what they could cook for our little one to meet her tastes and make sure she was enjoying her meals (yes they provide meals too!). This place is truly a diamond in the rough. You would never expect such a wonderful oasis hidden behind the corner of Reseda and Plummer. Location aside, the children are safe and well looked after behind the gates of LTA, and the classrooms and play yard are a fantastic place for little ones to learn and grow, and the staff and teachers truly care about the learning experience of each and every child in their care. My daughter has never been happier to go to leave Mommy and Daddy for school (and neither have we). We would highly recommend this school to any parent. THANK YOU LTA!

DEFINITELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND BRINGING YOUR CHILD HERE. For starters my son was only attending for 6 WEEKS and during that time I already experienced several problems with this place.

DEFINITELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND BRINGING YOUR CHILD HERE. For starters my son was only attending for 6 weeks and during that time there was several problems here. Before bringing my son here I made sure he was potty trained. Every day that he got picked they say he had a accident and would suggest I bring pull ups. That made no sense at all since he had ZERO accidents at home and no longer needed pull ups. If you take my son to the restroom, he would go. They just REFUSED to take him often and would just rather put a pull up on. They are lazy and unprofessional and that really irritated me. Second issue is my son only attended for 6 weeks and caught 3 different colds during that span. During his first 2 years of life he ONLY had 1 cold and there for 6 weeks and he gets sick 3 different times. That doesn't make sense. I always send him to there with sweats, a under shirt and long sleeves and a jacket. By the way he was going there in February 2020 to March 2020 and it was COLD outside during those times and I would drop him off in the morning around 8. So why when he gets picked up at 4 PM he just has a under shirt on and Outside where it's cold and windy playing on the playground. EVERYDAY they had the kids outside and EVERYDAY my son just had a under shirt on. I sent him there with several layers on and could understand WHY they took it off and HAD HIM OUTSIDE. RIDICULOUS 3 different colds. My son NEVER liked it here or liked Ann who runs it. STAY AWAY

As a Site Supervisor at Little Treehouse Academy I can say that one of the best things about our school is that the parents, students and staff are very welcoming and friendly. It’s like a home away from home where everyone can feel comfortable and enjoy their school day. There’s always something new and fun going on like school events and exciting field trips. This is a place where you can trust that your child will be safe and happy.

We love this daycare and would like to share some thoughts here - The daycare/preschool system at LTA is very established that put our mind at ease knowing that our kid is in a safe environment with a well regulated schedule and preventative measures for flu season etc. Teachers are loving and attentive and if anyone has doubts , they have open door policy, Just stop by and check on the kiddos. As parents we understand how hard it is to take care of young children. LTA teachers are amazing in early education - they are experienced, patients and most importantly they love the kids . We are very grateful for that.

This preschool is THE ABSOLUTE BEST! ALL of the staff members and teachers work SO hard every single day to meet the educational needs of EVERY child in their care. In addition to providing a fun and exceptional learning experience for their students, they also consistently maintain effective channels of communication with parents. The curriculum is structured, but designed in a way that makes learning exciting and enjoyable. Enrichment courses and sports courses are also made available. My child has attended for three years, and I cannot express how thankful I am for choosing this preschool. Providing children with a solid foundation for learning requires competent leadership, teamwork, and experience. You will encounter each of these at Little Treehouse Academy from the owner, to the teachers, and the site supervisor. I highly recommended Little Treehouse to anyone who is searching for a safe, CLEAN, and fun learning environment for their child.

Ms. Lana in the infant class does such an amazing job with my baby. I was nervous at first but once my baby showed excitement about going to Ms. Lana's class and seeing Ms. Lana too, I knew my baby was happy there and it really put me at ease. Thank you Ms. Lana!
