West Los Angeles Methodist Preschool

This really is a wonderful neighborhood preschool. My daughter started attending a few months before she turned 3 and she is now 4.
I love the play based learning approach, organized routine, crafts, and gentle discipline. She looks forward to going each and every day.

My 3 year old has been in this neighborhood preschool for nearly 6 months for 2 half days every week. We struggled with finding an affordable and professional (not home based) preschool where we felt our son would tribe without being pressured to be some sort of baby genius spouting off Mandarin or Calculus.
We have been happy with the play-​based learning and routine oriented schedule. Our son has made friends and comes home with crafts, a happy face and an empty lunchbox :)
The one big thing I will say over and over about this school is how well behaved and kind the kids are. I have volunteered and spent time with all the kids and they genuinely get along and are encouraged to solve issues together, using words and social skills.
Discipline is time-​out oriented (not in a corner), my son has had a few and I honestly have to say, his behavior at home became more consistent and cooperative because the «rules» at school were the same as at home.
Different kids need different things (affection, encouragement, discipline and instruction) and I’ve been really happy with how my son has been allowed to be himself and make friends and learn.
If you’re curious about the school, plan a visit, the staff is flexible and happy to welcome new kids.

This is a great neighborhood preschool! My 2 ½ yr. old son has been going here for 6 months now and he loves it. He is not fully potty trained but the teacher is helpful and patient with him. He comes home very happy after school and always excited to go, and I think that says alot about the teacher and the program itself. The facility is always clean and bright, and the fenced in outdoor play yard is awesome! They even have «bike time» where they get to go into the courtyard and ride bikes and cars around. really unique. Yes, this isn’t the newest state of the art preschool, but is is run by a very knowledgeable and caring director and it is very affordable compared to other preschools in the area.
