GBMy daughter is been going to Woodcrest… My daughter is been going to Woodcrest since she turned 2. It’s been almost 2 years that we became part of this family. The school is great and we never had any issues with the staff or programs. Everyone is so friendly and professional. My daughter is so happy and she always comes home with new stories and songs. The staff were well prepared and followed all the CDC guidelines for everyone’s safety. Thank you Woodcrest for providing a warmth and happy environment for are kiddos.

GBWoodcrest Preschool This is a place I can send my children everyday and feel confident in their safety, health and education. My oldest daughter is ready for Kindergarten due to the curriculum she went through at Woodcrest. She loved all of her teachers and never wanted to stay home from school. My youngest daughter is in the three year old class and she loves her teachers. The staff treat each other like a family, which creates a warm, loving environment for the kids. The director greets me everyday and I am always amazed to see that she knows every single child's name in the whole school! Whatever you expect from a preschool, Woodcrest will deliver!

GBSecond time around and just as happy My older daughter was at Woodcrest from two years old until pre-K. Now my younger daughter has started at the school in the two year old classroom. I have always been satisfied with the teachers, the classroom activities and lessons. The school has improved over the years, incorporating technology into their security and classrooms. I love receiving pictures and videos everyday of my daughter, playing, coloring, or even riding a pony at school. I have recommended to this school to other family and friends and will continue to do so in the future.

GBMy daughter attended Woodcrest Tarzana … My daughter attended Woodcrest Tarzana for 2yrs before we transitioned her to our home school (kindergarten). Her first 6mos with the 2-3yr old class was amazing. Ms Ana and Mrs Adriana are the best. Such an amazing duo they are. They cared deeply about each and every child under their care. I noticed my daughter excelling very quickly in her acedemics and social skills. These two set the foundation for her moving forward to more advanced learning. Woodcrest has some great outside class room programs like dance, play ball, lego, swim, etc... my daughter loved these classes. However, I did feela bit of pressure to put her in one of these programs because of other kids were going. But I restricted her to one program at a time and she understood. Week/monthly activities- I loved the on-going activities they had per classroom with potlucks,pajama day, dress up day, science experiments etc... Some cons: Parking is a bit rough especially around summer time and when there are events. However, Woodcrest now has a parking attendant that help facilitate organization to keep moving people in and out. Preschool has a high turnover. Once my daughter moved out of Ana's class she went through 3-4 teachers. They certainly have some opportunity t improve their retention of teachers. Overall, we really enjoyed Woodcrest Tarzana preschool. The new Director Julie is really making some nice changes to the preschool. And she is very warm and welcoming to parents. We will greatly miss everyone we've met throughout our time at Woodcrest.

GBWoodcrest sets the bar! Our family has been with Woodcrest Preschool for 3+ years now. Our boy is on his last year before he graduates to Kindegarten. This is entirely a family matter. My husband and I are involved with the staff and the director as our son transitions through every level of development. The staff listens, pays attention to our son and is included on what is happening at home so they can understand him better. They maintain consistent discipline, and share a tremendous level of genuine interest and love for our boy. Our son loves going to Woodcrest, and we feel absolute relief and security when we leave him there. The staff at Woodcrest is very grounded, knows when it's time to be silly and fun, and respectful of everyone (adults and children). We'll continue to enjoy our last year with Woodcrest and will count our blessings as we continue the search for smart and loving care for our son, as he grows older. Woodcrest Preschool has set the bar for care of our child.
