Ana’s Child Day Care

We have loved having our son at Ana’s. Our very first impression when we toured the place was incredibly positive and it has completely lived up to that first impression. They do a great job here of giving the kids a safe, warm environment to learn, grow, and play with each other. You really get the sense that Ana genuinely cares about all the kids and we couldn’t be happier here.

Ana & the girls are great! LOVE this place. They take really good care of the kids and always have tons of singing/​dancing/​learning time throughout the day. Don’t be surprised if your child comes home with new words and a mastery of the ABC’s. The food/​snacks are healthy and yummy and there’s an awesome mini playground in the back. Can’t say enough good things about them, we were really lucky to find. Thanks Ana!

My daughter is 16 mo old and has been attending Ana’s since she was 12 months! Ana and her team (Elvira and Vicky) are WONDERFUL. Caring, thoughtful, and playful with the children! This is a mixed age, home day care. The home is set up perfectly for different age groups and zones of play. The kids get home cooked meals (breakfast, lunch, and snacks — delicious! My daughter loves the food so much they’ve sent leftovers home a few times with us for the weekend and trust me, the food is great). They are open roughly between 7:30am-5:30pm but you basically have a running clock starting when you sign in, in the morning, for 9 hours. (They’re flexible if you have weird schedule needs but that’s the set up, at least). They have fun activities for the kids, and encourage new skills (for my daughter, the focus has been walking, eating with utensils, etc).
This daycare is so fantastic — its like a little family and I really appreciate the bonds that my daughter has formed with the other children and her caregivers. If you are located nearby (I’m guessing you live somewhere in the area or its on your route to work if you’ve found Ana’s Unilocal page), I highly recommend visiting Ana’s for a meeting and tour. I looked at a lot of local daycare options and many of them are great BUT what drew me in was the homey atmosphere, here. It didn’t feel sterile and super hip and modern, or in-​your-​face educational (although my daughter has learned a LOT while there). They’re just focused on letting the kids play and learn in a nurturing environment. Most days at drop off my daughter is PSYCHED to be there and greet her friends! And at pick up … oh geez, some evenings she’s not happy that I’m taking her away!
If you’re in the market for a new daycare solution, definitely give Ana and email or call and set up a tour. Your children will be loved and well cared for when not with you!

Well organized, lots of activities for the kids, and so so helpful to have breakfast and lunch included… Ana does an incredible job and my three year old loves it!

We are so lucky and blessed we discovered Ana’s childcare and I can’t tell you how much we love Ana and her team. My daughter started there when she was 14 months just after we moved to LA. And my son started when he was 3 months. Ana is such a wonderful person: a great teacher and mon, passionate, caring, super organized and dedicated to kids. Her house offers a cozy environment for children to grow and learn in a safe, quiet and very clean environment with a lovely backyard. My kids have been so happy with Anna and her fabulous team. They learned so much. Music, writing, reading, plenty of creative projects, yoga… but also respect, politeness, generosity and much more. Hours are perfect for working parents. Delicious lunches are also provided. Ana was like the family we didn’t have in LA. It’s probably the best daycare you would find in West LA. I trust her with my heart.

I can’t tell you what a gift Ana and her daycare have been. She has helped raise all of my five kids over the span of 14 years! That speaks volumes. I don’t know what I would have done without her. Her daycare is cheerful, clean, has a home feel, the staff is super caring and trustworthy, the food is homemade, and Ana is a great teacher. Reading, writing, math, art, trips, holiday parties, water play, crafts, special guests, exercise, potty training, manners, etc… you name it and she masters it. This is the place you want to bring your child to. I just had my last child and I would travel the extra 30 minutes in the opposite direction from work just to ensure my baby is cared for properly by Ana! If you’d like more information, feel free to message me for a glowing reference!

Thank you Ana for taking such great care of our kid. I love your daycare.

This is by far the best daycare in the area. Ana is extremely friendly and professional. She truly cares for the kids in the program. I trusted my kid with Ana and her team. Thank you Ana for your great service.

We’ve had our 18 month old little girl in Ana’s care since she was about 9 months old and feel so lucky to have found her! Ana takes such pride in her job and we truly feel like she’s our daughter’s third grandmother, which is especially special since we recently moved to LA from the east coast and are without direct family around. Ana keeps my daughter learning, entertained and fed. She’s such a resource and helps to raise your kids. I highly recommend her and her loving home to any parent looking for a spot for their little ones. The bonus is that she has other skilled and loving staff who work with your children as well.

We have sent our daughter here since she was 4 months old and plan to send our next one soon. In our opinion, Ana runs the best daycare in LA. She has literally helped us raise our daughter who thanks to Ms. Ana was potty-​trained by 2 ½, writing letters of her name by the same age, understanding spanish and learned tons of manners.
It is a strong routine-​based program that for kids 2 and up basically functions like a pre-​school with homework assignments and art projects. She also has received independent grants to teach pre-​school kids specific curriculum. She is great with babies and we had zero safety concerns.
She has a fair price, flexible hours, and typically only takes one week off per year.
This was way more than we could have hoped for in a daycare. Ana is part of our family now and would recommend her highly to anyone who asks.

I love this place, and more importantly, my kids love this place. Both of my girls have been attending this daycare since they were infants and it has been a wonderful experience for all of us. Ms. Ana is knowledgable, her staff are loving and kind, and the kids are all sweet, happy, and fun.
My favorite things about this place:
1. daily schedule that is consistant, but not boring for the kids
2. great indoor and outdoor play areas with tons of space, equipment, and toys for all ages (infant to kinder age). the areas are clean and safe.
3. enrichment programs such as music and yoga arranged by Ms. Ana with professional instructors who come in once a week to work with the kids
4. daily art and light academics (my 3 year old already write almost all her letters, writes her name on her own, can do some basic addition, and many more things that I have not taught her!)
5. Ms. Ana works with the family to create a safe and happy environment for your child.
6. lots of great home cooked meals. my kids eat breakfast, lunch and snack at Ana’s.
7. lots of physical activities including time in the yards, walks around the neighborhood, and time at the local park (walking distance)
8. The families all get to know each other and Ana has get togethers for special occasions like Easter and Christmas, and she makes the best Pupusas!

My 9 month old daughter has been under Ana’s care since she was 10 weeks old. Ana and her helpers are great. They are caring, nurturing, and very dependable. I had a very difficult time finding a place that i really liked before going to back to work. It was very stressful. I am very grateful to have found Ana.
My little one is still too young for the toddler activities. But i think they do yoga, have music time, and Ana sits with the bigger girls and works on the alphabet, math, and arts and crafts. They go on walks everyday (weather permitting), and they seem to have lots of fun.
If you are interested in a referral please ask Ana for Lorena’s phone number. I would be more than happy to answer any questions from another mom.

After looking at several day care options, we found Ana to be one of the most caring and passionate day care providers around. She conducts her business very professionally and treats the children as family. We highly recommend Ana’s day care to anyone.
