This is a top notch daycare. Education and preparation for future schooling starts here. Sofia really understands the importance of early child education and how to help form a child's mind academically, as well as instill proper discipline. All of the children at this school are well behaved and respectful. You can really see a difference in the children's development when compared to children in other daycares. Highly recommended for parents that understand the importance of early on structure and development of children.

Friendly Family child care and preschool is a remarkable place for children. It has safe, nurturing and encouraging atmosphere. The place is clean, bright, and beautiful, toys and the learning materials are interesting and kept in good condition. Fresh, nutritionally balanced home made meals cooked on site are provided daily.
The teachers and caregivers are kind, loving, insightful, and supportive and consider each child individually as they encourage them through various tasks and projects. They are also patient enough to successfully potty-train your child starting at early 2 y.o.
The education is in two languages Russian (main) and English. When the children start regular school, they are academically stronger prepared than any of their peers in the same grade. Art projects, music and movement, singing are part of the daily program. Dance class is one of the children's favorite classes. Children leave every day with excitement to learn more. Costumed shows/plays performed in front of parents and friends twice a year are fun, and great way for children to become self-confident and independent.

The most amazing child care you can ask for! Both of my kids have gone through this program and actually even through both locations. Check out which one works for you best, there's one in Valley Village/North Hollywood and another one in West Hollywood, both of which again are great. As any parent knows, it's quite difficult leaving your child with strangers essentially, turning around, and leaving for work and not worrying about. All administrators, teachers, nannies - everyone at this place have a special touch that just makes you feel comfortable knowing your child is in great hands. My kids blossomed under their care and I am very appreciative. If you're interested in academics, this is also a place to be. Great classes included, extracurricular activities available but most importantly teachers themselves. They have such a connection with kids that teaching them somehow appears to be so easy because kids come home everyday having learned something new. My 4 year old is a year ahead now of her friends by doing nothing extra, just attending this school.
