Township Village

Although the school receives high test scores, the parents over involvement negatively impacts the students. The competitive, insecure, status-obsessed mothers make it impossible for their children to discover their own identity and make their own friends, because they are in the classroom cherry-picking who their friends will be, while excluding others. This middle school behavior among adults has led to rule bending at the school, with certain kids whose parents are over involved being allowed to roam the hallways freely looking for their mommies. And let's not forget that only mommies who put in extra volunteerism time will have their child picked for coveted roles in school plays. I have chosen to leave and have found greener pastures elsewhere.

We’ve had an incredibly positive experience at Pacific Prep Ladera. The teachers and staff are supportive, professional, and genuinely accessible. They are incredibly kind, always quick to answer questions and keep us updated.One important stand out for our family is how carefully they manage our daughter’s food allergies while still keeping her fully included in snacks and celebrations with her classmates. That balance of safety and inclusion means a lot to us.Best of all, she’s excited and looks forward to going every single day! She talks so positively about her teachers and the staff there, that tells us everything about how happy and cared for she feels. I cannot recommend this school enough to any family looking for a warm, professional preschool.
