Educare Preschool & Kindergarten Harvey Way, Lakewood, CA 90713

"Wonderful and professional staff. My child looks forward to getting to school everyday. Ms. Pam Huffman, her teacher takes into consideration my childs interests and strong points and developed a guideline for her. Mrs. Lydia Kobayashi, director, is a straight shooter and a kind and honest woman. She really is the driving force of the educators in their educare family. Great leadership, great teachers in a safe environment for kids."

"My son now attends Educare Preschool since she was 2.5 to 4 years old. During that time, he has been in 2 classrooms. His teachers have been excellent. My son has excelled socially and has learned English very fast. Based on his education at Educare, he will be much more advanced compared to the rest of his fellow classroom students in public school. Educare also teaches moral, ethics, and helps them mature enough to enter public or another private school. The staff are professional, friendly, and you can have an open dialog with them if need be."

"Sent our daughter here for a couple of years. They did a good job and the site seemed organized and clean. The only issue is if your child lies slightly out of the norm. My daughter was never a napper and thus didn't do well with the daily enforced nap time. Instead of recognizing that she was not going to nap and redirecting her to somewhere else where she could do something, they forced her to stay in the room and kept having talks with us about how she was disturbing the other kids during nap time and kept fidgeting. This led us to decide to put her in kindergarten at the age of 4 (October birthday) rather than waiting until she was 5. There was no way either she or the preschool could deal with another year of nap time fights."
