Angel City Daycare

WE LOVE THIS DAYCARE! Our son attended from age 2.5 until 3.5, and we still stop by every so often so he can see Sean, his team, and the kiddos. He adores Sean wholeheartedly, and often spontaneously talks about his time there and the friends he made. As parents, we appreciated the effortless communication (including text updates throughout the day and pictures) and the cameras (viewable through an app), but most of all we were so thankful our son had a safe, loving, and fun environment to thrive in. Sean and his team are so wonderful, and we highly recommend Angel City to other parents!

Our son has been going to Angel City Day Care for the last 3 months and we can’t say enough good things about it. He started in November when he was 14 months and he immediately took to Sean, Marie Carmen and Fanny. The first month that our son was there, we would receive multiple daily updates and photos from Sean as to how our son was doing. We love that they have baby monitors throughout the day care and record everything. Even better is that you can view this through an app on your mobile device. I love that I can check in on my son during the day! The have a really large backyard and patio as well as indoor play area. They are very hands-​on, do lots of activities with the kids to keep them engaged and learning, even at a young age. If you are in need of daycare in this area, look no further than Angel City Daycare. They really are amazing!

I am so happy we found this daycare. The best we have made! My son is 22 months and never has never been in daycare before. we just moved to Los Angeles and before we were lucky having Grandparents around to help watch him. I was a nervous wreck having someone watch him that wasn’t family or a friend I knew. my son is so attached to us, but They were so good and making him adjust. Sean updated me every day for the first month and was amazing at helping him adjust. he made me feel so comfortable and is so friendly. I love all the ladies there as well! I love how clean it is, I love there is video cameras so I can check in with my son when I miss him to see how he is doing and the friendly staff. cant recommend this place enough.

Our 3-​year old son stayed here for 1 week when his other day care was closed, and I strongly recommend it to other parents of toddlers. Sean is a dream to work with, he has been gracious and flexible, and he is also a really cool dude with good stories to tell. Our son loves story time with Sean. Their facility is first-​rate and there is an app that allows you to view your child on their closed-​circuit cameras during the day, which is quite addictive it turns out. From the spacious outdoors space for running and playing to the daily arts and crafts, Angel City is a great choice for professional parents in need of reliable day care from good people.

Angel city has seriously been the best choice I have made as a parent thus far. My daughter loves it there so much. She comes home so happy every night, and lives telling me about all of her friends, and what they did that day. She has learned so much, it’s unbelievable. The space is so bright and clean, and I love that the kids spend most of the day outside (they even garden and gave water play). Sean goes above and beyond to make sure the lines of communication between him and the parents are open. I love getting updates from him, without even having to ask. Shirley & Marie Carmen are also so nurturing and have such great energy. The cameras are pretty great, and I would watch them a lot at first, but now that my daughters been there for 6 months, I don’t even look anymore. It’s such a nice feeling knowing that my baby is being extremely well cared for, given the attention she needs, and is happy! I don’t think I could’ve picked a better place for my daughter to spend her days growing, laughing, and learning.

I can’t say enough how much a love Angel City Daycare. My son started the week he turned 2. He went thru a bit of separation anxiety for the first couple of weeks and Sean was super loving and patient with him until he adjusted. After just a few weeks he was so excited to go play with his new friends and was happily saying «bye bye mommy!» every morning.
The place is immaculate, big and bright. It’s divided into three areas: the indoor area, outdoor deck and outdoor patio with a nice big tent for shade. Sean, Shirley and Maria del Carmen make sure to keep the kids occupied with plenty of outdoor activities including playing in the water which is my son’s absolute favorite!
Sean worked with us through some issues, in particular nap time. My son had a hard time sleeping at nap time and Sean was very willing to try different techniques to make sure he got some rest. I’m always amazed at how patient they are there. He now has no trouble sleeping and takes a 2 hour nap there everyday. Last but not least, those cameras! I love being able to check in on my son at anytime and watch how much fun he is having either wrestling around with Sean, playing with the water outside or sitting down for story time with Shirley. Highly recommended!

Angel City Daycare in Beverlywood is a fantastic in-​home daycare option. I found them through Peachhead and my son went from the ages of 18 – 30 months. I had gone from having a nanny, so was worried about him getting enough attention in a big facility. Sean and Shirley are amazingly caring and I know they loved my son dearly. They worked with us through a few issues (biting, hitting, speech delays) and I’m sure others would have not been as patient (my son’s preschool explicitly says they expel a child if there are three biting episodes).
The daycare area opens onto a wood deck and large garden, which makes for a great outdoor LA experience. The kids were often in the garden, looking for worms and learning about plants/​herbs. Cameras cover all angles of the daycare area (other than changing area for obvious reasons), so you can always check in and get a glimpse of what they’re up to. I would often catch Sean being silly with the kids (imagine pretending to be a fish on the floor) or Shirley doing reading time with 4 – 5 transfixed toddlers. Another nice element was they are flexible on drop-​off/​pick-​up (now we have to be in by 9am) and they wouldn’t charge if we were 10 minutes late.
We chose to leave when a space opened up at a Montessori that we had our son on a wait-​list for.

I LOVE Angel City Daycare and and grateful to have my 14-​month son attending. We looked at half dozen home-​based centers, and none were as clean or warm or caring as Angel City. Sean and Shirley are wonderful with the kids and my son. They have closed-​circuit cameras connected to all the rooms of the center and with one tap of your phone, you can see what your munchkin is doing. As a parent, this gives me tremendous confidence. You hear and see so many horror stories about too many kids in one center, kids being placed in pack-&-plays for hours etc… But with the cameras, you’re reassured that your child is SAFE. Before I found Angel city, my child use to go to another center. He use to come home tired, stressed and tearful. And now, when I pick him up, he’s COMPLETELY different. He actually enjoys daycare now! You will be impressed with Angel City’s cleanliness, professionalism of staff, and quality of care.

I stumbled upon Angel City Daycare when I was scouring Los Angeles county for a place for my five month old. I looked at about three dozen home based daycares, centers, and schools. I can say from experience that they are a lot of scary centers out there in LA… dirty and cramped places and rooms with pack-​n-​plays as far as the eye can see. I cried when I walked out of a couple of them; I felt bad for the kids and for the parents who probably didn’t have any other options. When I finally found Angel City, it was a breath of fresh air. Sean and Laura are awesome and caring providers who have put a lot of thought, passion, and effort into designing a center that pleases and reassures modern parents. Most importantly for me, it is clean, bright, and organized. It was calming and welcoming when I first visited, and my son (who I brought along) responded well to this atmosphere (and to Shirley, who is also a part of their team). They were open to talking about my parenting style and were interested in how they could incorporate this into his daytime care at their home. I also love that they have cameras set up so you can watch your kid, both for accountability and peace of mind. Though my baby is still too young, the organic vegetable garden is also a nice feature.
They are not able to accommodate a large amount of children (which is a plus!), but if you are able to snag an open spot, consider yourself lucky!
