Read what parents are saying about Discovery SchoolOur daughter has been attending Discovery school for the last 2 1/2 years and we couldn't be happier! It's her home away from home where she feels safe, nurtured and loved. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous with different play areas for each age group. We have a farm and a vegetable garden that the children visit weekly for gardening and farm lessons. Lunch is cooked on the premises by the school's chef. Each classroom is fully stocked with educational material and, as of this year, they have opened a computer lab and a science center. Discovery School is a wonderful community where parents become friends and the children are one big family. The Parents Association is actively involved in organizing events, field trips, school visits and shows. Children have plenty of play time as well as academics and we feel very confident that our daughter will enter kindergarten well prepared. Teachers are caring and loving. The staff is attentive and Eyde, the director, has the well being of our children at heart. We have only 6 months left at Discovery School and we will miss it! It has been a very important part of our lives and our daughter's development.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have had two daughters go through LILA in West Valley from preschool when they were 2.5 turning 3 through 1st grade and K. We are not French speakers, but after looking extensively at preschools in the around Encino/Sherman Oaks/Tarzana, LILA stood head and shoulders above any other preschool.The curriculum is a more academic and far more advanced than any American pre-school. We were so impressed with the depth the school teaches about French, English, Science, Social Studies starting at age 2. Both our girls are now fluent in French, and native speakers in France are amazed at the lack of any accent from them. Their English are as advanced if not more than their friends in normal American programs. The small class sizes are a huge benefit to our girls, with none of their classes larger than thirteen kids, with a dedicated French teacher, teacher's assistant, and English teacher. The parents have generally all been very friendly and active. We've made lifelong friends with some of the other families. The teachers are absolutely the highlight though, energetic, warm, and highly professional (we hear the pass rate for the teacher's French govt credential test is less than 20%). They are many levels of ability above the normal daycare workers at other preschools we've sent our oldest to before LILA and during the summer. The program is fairly academic, and your kids will be challenged, so if you are looking for a babysitter to watch your kids play during the day, this probably isn't the place for you. That said, there is a good amount of differentiation, with small groups for different levels for both French and English, and lots of 1:1 teaching time as well. Starting in 1st grade, top American magnet and private schools may start closing the gap with LILA in terms of quality of instruction, but from ages 2-6 we really don't feel the competition is very close.Other Review10mo ago - Woodcrest Preschool
