The Broadoaks Childrens School

Best decision ever to enroll our son at St Mary’s. He started to go to SMA since he was 4 yrs old. He is always excited to go to school. We are blessed to be part of SMA Family.

My children started Plymouth at two years old and continued all the way through to sixth grade. They received a great education in a nurturing, Christ centered environment.

This school is a tiny hidden gem in Whittier where my son has been attending for two years. He is a happy and thriving student. He loves going to school and learning. The multi age small classrooms cultivate a culture of tolerance and cooperation. The small student to teacher ratio ensures dedicated and through lesson plans where students are taught in a classic lesson then pencil to page reinforcement style without screens and a lot of teacher/ student interaction. Computers are used occasionally and sparingly. I see this as a positive because eye contact when speaking, problemsolving and communication skills are built while learning. We get a report about how the day at pick up that include the day's class activities, behavior and reminders about any school activities or meetings that are taking place or upcoming. The school takes lots of field trips that encourage learning outside the classroom and apply to the current curriculum. This school fosters a culture of scholarship, good citizenship, physical, mental and emotional health, and tolerance. Each child is encouraged to be his or her own unique and wonderful self in a gentle and structured environment. I am so happy we found rhis school and so happy with my son's academic progress. He will be attending this school until he ages out.

My daughter attended preschool at Broadoaks, and it was truly such a wonderful and fruitful experience for our family. From the very beginning, the teachers created a warm, nurturing environment where she felt supported and encouraged to grow.Over the course of her time there, I saw her confidence blossom. She learned so much academically, socially, and emotionally, and developed skills that have prepared her well for the next stage of her education.What stands out most about Broadoaks is the dedication of the teachers. They are passionate about what they do, incredibly patient, and genuinely care about each child’s development. Their encouragement and guidance helped my daughter thrive and look forward to school every day.One of the things we appreciated most was the strong sense of community. Through the many school activities, events, and opportunities for family involvement, we became deeply integrated into the Broadoaks community. It is a close-knit environment where families build meaningful connections and feel genuinely welcomed and supported.I am so grateful for the positive impact Broadoaks has had on my daughter and our family. I highly recommend it to any family looking for a caring, enriching, and community-oriented preschool experience.
