My son currently attends the Aliso campus and my daughter attended three years prior to that. It has been a wonderful experience with both children. The teachers and the director really care about the children and they are always willing to go out of their way to make you and your child feel like part

The school is not for everyone, especially if you are used to strip mall schools. The parent who posted the review on July 6th obviosly didn't realize what a special place Anneliese's is. Read less

My daughter has attended the Willowbrook campus for over a year..and I am astounded and impressed by how much she has learned and how much she has grown in the time she has spent here. She is blossoming into an articulate, confident and self-assured young lady. Thank you Anneliese!

My Husband and I feel like we found a hidden gem in Anneliese's, our son attends the Willowbrook campus and is getting ready to start kindergarten. The level of caring from the teachers is high and when I see them with the kids in the playground, they actively help them with problem resolution. The
... Read more breadth of what they offer to the kids is quite unheard of: languages, art, music, filed trips, great outdoor play, 'a global view', and the overall environment. I think they are particularly a good school for working parents. Our son has access to enriched learning that would just not be available in a public school environment or after care program. Take a tour of the campus or attend an open house sometime. In terms of an opportunity: a greater focus on language fluency, possibly emersion. Read less

All I can say is do not send your children to this school. Horrible care! Terrible attitude in teachers! I can only speak for the Aliso location, however, I wrote to the owner of the troubles there and recieved no acknowledgement, nor apology. Please think twice before you send your chilren to this school!

My children are very lucky to attend such an amazing school. We have been at Anneliese three years now and could not be happier. Honestly, words cannot describe how special this school is. The teachers are highly intelligent, worldly, sophisticated and so loving. My son's love to wake up Monday morning

They are challenged, encouraged, taught to be accountable for their actions, and are incredibly loved. They are taught to respect the earth, respect their bodies and nutrition, their peers, animals and the human race. Thanks to this school they are 'junior sophisticates' who discuss Robin Hood and other classics, they can recognize Mozart and other classics as well. I wish they had plans for a high school!

My children go to the Willowbrook campus and I could not be happier. My second grader is reading at an eighth grade level and my pre-schooler is happy and challenged. The art and music programs are rich and the foreign language is extraordinary. I can't say enough about how wonderful this school is.

Anneliese's schools provide a wonderful and nurturing environment to kids from pre-school to sixth grade. The teachers are first rate and the curriculum is rich in foreign language, arts and music.

When I first toured the campus, I was very impressed with the atmosphere and the enriching enviroment. The playground is wonderful with many opportunities for imaginative play. Once my child was enrolled in the pre-school, I found that the activities were more 'mainstream' than I expexted, and some

I would love to be allowed to work in the classroom, but this is not allowed. This has made me feel out of touch with my child's progress and interests. This is why I have pulled my child out and enrolled her in a co-op preschool. The cost is an issue also. This is a good school, but not what we were looking for. Read less
