Schools in Sun Valley, CA

“I was terrified of placing my child in preschool. While I knew it was inevitable and I wanted her to learn how to interact with others at the library, I was also scared that she would feel abandoned, or that her needs wouldn't be met like I could meet them.We had this referral from our friends when Ariel was 1 and we had full-time work from home. They said "just wait until she is 2...this place is awesome and only $200 a week." Almost as soon as our daughter turned 2, we looked into it. It's a small, quaint little place full of children that remember your child's name and they're all so sweet. The women that take care of the kids are absolutely wonderful, loving, and more on the progressive side. They love when Ariel wears her RBG & Nirvana shirts. They are open to all cultures, all walks of life, and they show you how to give your child the best experience there.The establishment also has fun little newsletters & events if you care about social justice, activism, and community building in general. I had a blast with the fundraiser too. Pizza, bubbles, and a whole party!More importantly, I have seen Ariel grow so much as a human being, and she loves it. There are times where she will literally just run to the preschool and excitement for water day, or just to see her friends and go on the slide with them. She's so proud of the crafts that she does with the kids, watering the plants, and she remembers the names of the kids too. She gets invited to birthday parties, and she's so thrilled to take her lunchbox home every day. There is a sense of ownership and purpose for her that she gets to feel, just like we get when we go to work each day.This place has been a Godsend for us, this is the best place we could have for a child and at such an affordable price. We couldn't believe that this place could even exist.We do the full week price, because if we want to take her out of school - - and it's still reasonable enough to support us all for the week. When we first had Ariel, we were paying a personal friend $400 a week to watch her for 30 hours a week, and with one person it's not always reliable and sometimes she would want to take off early - understandable for one person watching one person trying to make a living. Nevertheless, our daughter didn't get to have as much contact with the regular kids each day and have interaction in the way she does now for a much cheaper price. Now we can afford more care for both kids when we need it.If you live in the Burbank, North Hollywood, or San Fernando Valley - I would highly suggest this place if your child is between 2 to 4 years of age. Our child is not even potty trained yet so we pay an extra $15 a week, but even that is next to nothing. They do also help and encourage parents with potty training too. A bunch of kids just went into kindergarten, so it's the perfect time to enroll!”

“The school has gone under new management and it's better than ever! So happy to have my son enrolled here for a 4th year in a row. Classes are small and teachers are tremendously dedicated!!”

“My daughter attended this school since pre-k. It has been a bumpy ride starting 1st grade but here we are graduating 5th grade after home schooling and everything everyone has been through with this covid pandemic. Thankful for all the teachers she had especially Mr.Hughes he has always been such an amazing teacher with so much patience and such a great vibe and environment for the kids. Ms.Christopher retired but always remembered my baby and me since we both had her for a teacher hope she has a wonderful retirement. Thank you to Ms.Garrison for helping with so much and protecting our children. wish I cannot you back with a vacation and peace of mind with this pandemic. One thing I do suggest be as much involved with the school and your child while attending any school that is one thing I wish I did overall. The school is safe and secure and strict which is what our children need. A lot of programs to join and activities provided.”
