“We are back and we just love the Santa Monica Playhouse. It has three small theaters. You can see a musical for kids, rent the place, see legitimate theater or have other adventures. They always seem to be doing something. They were shut down during Covid and they need your help getting back on their feet, they at a 501(c)3, and have been around so long. We went to see their Halloween musical for kids. It was on the Main Stage which seats about 50 people or so. It is so lovely inside and well taken care of. The musical itself was great. They had the kids participating from their seats and they all loved it. The actors are great and you will just love this place. Go there.”

920 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica“I’d like to share that I was in the store today and a very rude woman was making racist comments and the two volunteers working at the store asked her to leave and she refused and then she physically assaulted of the women and it was disgusting to watch. This is a beautiful store that does great work for an amazing cause and the volunteers working there did not deserve to be treated like that. Please have respect when you shop at this establishment.”

“I parked in the lot underneath the Rand Corporation when I attended the American Film Market 2023 that was nearby at Le Meridian Delafina Hotel because it was well lit and I felt my car would be safe and secure there. Parking was about $20 for most of the day (they charge hourly) vs. an outrageous $54 or $57/day at the hotel!(BTW it's right next door to the Santa Monica Civic Center, but their parking lot was not as well lit and felt kind of creepy.)”
“Wonderful People that volunteer to give meals to the homebound and elderly. They are always looking for volunteers willing to take a small route and deliver meals Monday thru Friday. Contact Chris Baca Director or Angel for assistance with meals.”

They choose 20 people to contact for every one Apt. Better off finding one on my own. Only problem is most rents for one bedroom exceed the amount of the Voucher. Slim chance, but, I'm not giving up.”

Our son has been attending this remarkable establishment, and it's nothing short of exceptional.From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and dedication that this school exudes. The individualized attention that every child receives is truly remarkable. The staff is deeply committed to ensuring each child's unique needs and strengths are nurtured.One of the things that sets Palisades Preschool apart is its carefully structured activities that encourage collaboration, discovery, and engagement. It's not just about keeping kids busy; it's about fostering their curiosity and helping them develop important life skills. My son has learned so much, and he genuinely looks forward to going to school every day.The teachers are the heart and soul of this school. They are wonderful, patient, and incredibly caring. Their dedication to the children is evident in every interaction, and they make learning a fun and engaging experience.The director, too, deserves special mention. She is kind, supportive, and extremely knowledgeable about young children and their development. Her guidance and leadership are evident in the school's philosophy and approach, and it truly makes a difference in the quality of education the children receive.Beyond the fantastic education, Palisades Preschool offers a wonderful community of diverse families. It's heartwarming to see parents from all walks of life come together, united in the common goal of wanting the best for their children and each other's children. The sense of camaraderie and support is truly outstanding.If you're looking for a preschool that goes above and beyond to provide a nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment for your child, Palisades Preschool is the place to be. I couldn't be happier with the experiences my son is gaining here, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking a top-notch early education for their child.”
