Creative Children Preschool 5650 Shoup Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 91367

"Mrs. Marisela at Creative Children Preschool is an incredibly caring teacher. Our daughter Nikita just started, and Mrs. Marisela's warmth and dedication have made the transition smooth. She creates a nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported. Highly recommend her! Amazing staff, clean classrooms, strong curriculum! Thank you for providing our daughter such a beautiful environment!"

"I was searching for a good preschool for my child, just like any other parent. I visited a few facilities, but they were either old and small or too academic. While I want my child to learn and be ready for kindergarten, I also want him to have fun and improve his social skills. So if you're in the hunt for a preschool for your kids, come check out this school. Ms. Christine, the director of this school, is very informative. Here are a few things I love about this school: ✅ A passcode is required to enter the school ✅ The playground and classrooms of the school are clean and neat ✅ Teachers have a pleasant, welcoming, and professional demeanor ✅ Receive weekly updates on your child's pictures ✅ The low student-teacher ratio allows them to devote more attention to each child ✅ The fee for the school is unbeatable We have a great affection for the school and the people who work there!"

"As a very anxious first time parent, I have visited every single preschool in the valley. I was initially focused on a montessori program but after much consideration - decided to enroll her here and she really enjoys it and has transitioned so well! The teachers have been with the school for a very long time and have such dedication - i can see it as soon as I come in to drop my child off, the daily activity has been set up and so much thought has been put into what they will be learning about. As my daughter was 2.5 when she enrolled and a covid baby as well….it was so important that she learn basic social skills and contiune her love for learning and play - she definitely gets it here! I also love the diversity that i see in her classroom - she learns so much about other customs and cultures and while this school is located in a church, there is no faith based curriculum."

"My son had a wonderful experience here from 3 years old through Pre-K...He was extremely prepared for Kindergarten to a point which he was bored for the first half of K. Christine and the teachers are very loving towards the children but do not coddle them. A wonderful environment."

"This Preschool was absolutely the worst! A horrible place for a young child. My children attended this preschool, and for the short time they were enrolled, here are my examples of why not to consider this school: Example #1: I caught/witnessed a teacher YELLing at a child. I waited for that childs parent to come pick up their child later in the day and told them what I witnessed. It was so terrible what I witnessed I waited over 3 hrs for the parents pick up time. When the parent came out from pick up, the parent told me the school told the parent the child had hit the teacher (a total lie) and that's what caused the teacher to yell. Example #2: they had outside enrichment programs on campus withOUT a school employee supervising....meaning an outside agency person was alone, with the children, without a single teachers oversight. Example #3: When my husband and I went to speak to the Director about having no school employee present during non school personnel enrichment services engaging with the children, they said to me there was nothing wrong with this. So then my husband went inside to talk with the Director, since I wasn't satisfied with the conversation. He walked in to find the Director speaking to my childs teacher (they were hiding in a corner of one of the classrooms) and calling me every name in the book! Seriously! The "B" word, etc.....The Director was calling me profanities and my childs teacher was just listening and shaking her head in agreement! My husband patiently waited and listened until they were done calling me every name in the book (and they even mentioned "all" parents in this context)....and boy let me tell you was the Director shocked to see him standing there. Example #3: they put a letter in all parents in box saying parents had to pick up their child and LEAVE the campus immediately (no hanging around) after pick up time. This was done after I witnessed the child being yelled at and told the parent. This is a CHURCH owned property! They don't even own the campus!....They can't tell anyone to leave the campus. It has multiple uses during the day... there are lots of people hanging around that don't even go to the school because of this and by the way on Fridays the church has a feed the homeless program in one of the classrooms. There are plenty of other preschools with the same pricing and the same hours of operation. Its not a positive place for a young child ever (I actuallly saw children crying when they had to go with the teachers to class, and this was after weeks/months of enrollment). If they don't have any professional business skills or don't respect the parent and child, how in the world will they treat or educate your child when you are not there advocating for them?"
