Director's Comments
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
We offer a FREE Pre-K program for 4 year olds funded by Los Angeles Universal Preschool (LAUP).
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The school setting is unique, giving the children the opportunity to play, explore and learn in a natural environment. The children are happy and relaxed in both the indoor and outdoor activities. The staff is well trained. The director has a PhD in Education, which convinces me that the school will prepare my child for kindergarten, both academically and socially. The play environment is stressed, with enough structure to assure smooth transitions between activities and keep down discipline problems.
The school has met the standards to be included in the Universal Preschool (LAUP) program.
Parent #2
i dont have much to say because everybody that is involve with the children at the country house is great. in other words is something that you have to see for yourself.and i warraty you that you wont be sorry you did.
Parent #3
I know of a specific child who was difficult to deal with, both for the children and the teachers. The director sat down with the parent and discussed this to determine what, if anything, might be causing this and how they could help him have a better experience. They worked out a reward system which seems to be working well. The child's behavior is improving and the other children are enjoying being with him.

On My Own
We met up with my father for a weekend in Grayton Beach, Florida . It was too short as the girls don't see nearly enough of their grandparents, but we packed it full of fun. We spent our last day on the beach
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
