My family had an awesome experience at BLC. The extended hours and facilities are great, and the teachers especially are incredibly caring and nurturing. Both my kids were extremely well prepared for Kindergarten on both an academic and a social level. The director Bonnie is awesome. She's very communicative, open, organized and warm. I'd highly recommend BLC.

We absolutely loved Beginnings learning center. Our son learned so much and his speech and behaviour really improved when he started at this preschool. Amazing staff and teachers, especially, Ms. Lina, Ms. Cynthia, Ms. Azo, and Talar. They provide meals and snacks and helped my son learn to potty train. Lovely outdoor playground and options to play soccer and do dance, etc. wonderful experienced teachers who truly love what they do and school always looks bright and clean. Price range is pretty much the same as most preschools in the area, maybe even a little less. Totally recommend this school for your littles

Both of my daughters attended BLC NoHo from diapers through 4 years old. Without a doubt, an incredible and safe environment for tiny humans. I will miss this school and are so thankful for all the work they did to prepare girls for elementary.

We spent a year in Santa Monica for work and sent our daughter to BLC during this time. Our daughter absolutely loved going to preschool there and learned so much during her time there. We were impressed by the center's inclusive celebration of many holidays and engagement of families for these occasions. We were especially grateful for the clear and strong communication from the director of the center. She was incredibly responsive and handled the challenges of the pandemic extremely well. The BLC family became like family to us and we were very sad to say goodbye when we had to move, but were very grateful to have our daughter in good hands while we were there. We will always remember the staff and children at BLC and are lucky to have made such good friends there.

My 3 years old daughter has started her first pre school at Beginnings Learning Center 2 months ago. We are very happy with the center and all their staff.
The central is very clean, kids friendly, staffs are very friendly and good communicators. They have helped our daughter to go through this big change very patiently and my daughter loves going to school.
My husband and I went on lots of tours and did tons of research about preschools and we can definitely say that Beginnings Learning Center is the most quality, good value and professional place I have seen in Los Angeles. We highly recommend them.

A hidden gem. The school and the teachers are fabulous and provide a great combination of personal care & nurturing environment as well as discipline & focus. They are very responsive to parents' and child's needs and are willing to make extra efforts to ensure that child's development is a top priority. Our daughter was a late learner in some tasks & activities and the teachers provided great help to make her catch-up with the rest of her classmates. I highly recommend this school !!

We joined Beginnings a few months ago and so far our experience has been nothing short of spectacular. Our son was very warmly welcomed and is thriving. The staff, curriculum and enrichment programs are top notch and simply put, we're thrilled to have found Beginnings and have them as part of our village.

We love Beginnings learning center! After moving from abroad and looking for the best place for our daughter, we found the perfect fit. Beginnings is a loving, safe, caring preschool. Teachers and staff are excellent. Our daughter loves going, she even misses her teachers and friends during weekends! I would recommend this preschool to anyone!

I couldn't be happier with Beginnings Learning Center. The teachers here are so nurturing and attentive. Both of my boys started at two in the Blue Room and have progressed through the program. As they've gotten older, I've enjoyed seeing how they've grown and all that they've learned that is a direct impact of this school.

I love Beginnings Learning Center! It is the best place to send your child. The teachers are extraordinary. It is a wonderful place for a child to learn and grow. Teachers are kind, nurturing and caring. My daughter has learned so much. Would highly recommend!

Our daughter was here for 3 years and we are so grateful we found this place! The staff and teachers are wonderful and create a safe and fun environment for the kids to grown and learn in.

Our son joined the school mid-year after we moved from a different neighborhood. We were concerned about his transition, but the staff and teachers (and students!) made it seamless and overwhelmingly positive. Within days, he had fit right in and made friends. While the school leans into a play-based model (which which we love), it also puts a real emphasis on learning, practicing and positively reinforcing the fundamentals in an engaging way. Prior to joining the school, our son was potentially at risk of falling behind schedule in terms of learning to recognize and write letters, and the diligence with which the teachers continually reinforced these essentials was a very welcomed addition for us. He's now headed to TK this fall, and is in a really great position to do so, thanks in no small part to the teachers and staff at Beginnings. We appreciate all their help, and will certainly miss them!

My son was going here and absolutely loved it. Music every week, art projects all the time. He’d come home singing a new song he learned or telling me happily about what he did that day. When he saw the director, Ms. Janet, he’d run up to give her a hug. As a first time mom I was so worried about sending him to school and finding the right one, but BLC is amazing. It was everything I’d hoped preschool would be for my son.

Beginnings Learning Center in NoHo has been a great facility. The faculty are like extended family, which makes me feel safe everyday I drop my daughter off. Talar has been so responsive and takes accountability for any questions and/or concerns.

The preschool has great opening hours. The teachers are competent and caring. It is a safe place. My twins have been in this preschool for almost three years, and they are very happy.

Our son recently joined Beginnings and we've been very grateful to Cynthia and Betty in the Blue Room for making his transition as easy as it can be. They greet him every day with a smile and genuine warmth. We're very happy we chose Beginnings.
David Hall
I highly recommend Beginnings. We've been very pleased with the entire experience: the facilities, the teachers, the staff, the director --they are all amazing. I can't think of a better place that we could have entrusted with our son.

We've been extremely happy with the care and attention our daughter receives at Beginnings. The teachers are all kind yet firm, and I've been impressed with their knowledge of early childhood development. Since our daughter started there a few months ago we've noticed her communication skills growing at a rapid rate, and whenever we ask her about her day at school, the first word she says is always "Fun!" And in addition, the flexible hours and school-provided meals and snacks make things easy on mom and dad. I would recommend this preschool to anyone.

This preschool is great! The teachers are very kind and the activities they do are fun for the kids. The facilities are well maintained and clean. Drop off and pick up is easy since it’s on a residential street with ample parking on both sides of the street. They provide breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack daily which saves me time for not having to pack food from home. Overall highly recommend!

My sons first daycare experience is Beginnings Learning Center and I am happy to say we both love it!! The staff and structured curriculum provides me with a piece of mind and my son with building blocks for the future both educationally and socially. He has surprised me with his progress thus far and has only been here a short while.
Did I mention the staff is the best!!
Great daycare🙂

I wanted to share my wonderful experience with Beginnings Learning Center in Santa Monica, where my daughter attended their summer camp. The teachers were truly amazing, demonstrating an exceptional level of care and dedication. Ms. Claudia, and Ms. Rachel took the time to get to know my daughter, making her feel comfortable and valued.
What stood out the most was their commitment to her development, even though it was just a summer camp. They worked with her on her reading skills and took genuine pride in her growth. It's clear that the staff at Beginnings Learning Center are passionate about what they do and go above and beyond to support each child's individual needs.
I highly recommend Beginnings Learning Center to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their child.

I absolutely love this school. I have a great experience with Beginnings Learning Center. My daughter is in Van Nuys location and she loves it there. The staff is very professional and carrying. My daughter loves Ms Janet. The love and care that go into taking care of my girl is just amazing. I could never have imagined that being a mother, I would be so comfortable with others taking care of my child. I just love this place!

My Daughter has been coming here for over a year and we LOVE it!!
Cam Aperture
We transitioned our daughter from a daycare we loved into the preschool program at Beginnings Learning Center. The transition was easier than we were expecting. The teachers are very attentive and caring, the school itself pays close attention to safety and making sure everything is operating as it should. They have a great playground all the kids love and our daughter comes home every day with new artwork and she's developing well. She's happy and we're happy. We think it's an excellent choice.

As a parent, I entrust my greatest treasure to the staff at BLC NOHO every day, and I am grateful for the loving care and guidance she receives. The teachers and director look at each child as an individual, with their own strengths and needs. My daughter has been blessed with awesome teachers who understands my rambunctious daughter and handles her with grace. My child has learned so much and continues to share with me the great activities that go on each day at "school!" In addition to BLC’s amazing early childhood curriculum is their beautiful campus. It’s a new, clean and safe environment in which the educational process can take place. I recommend BLC whole heartedly .

My two year old daughter joined the Beginnings Learning center family in July 2017. It has been the best choice I could have made for her. The teachers are warm and friendly. The facilities are well maintained. My daughter has become a lot more independent. She is always coming home singing new songs and telling me about all the fun activities she did that day. I would definently recommend this school to my friend and family.

Beginnings has been a magical experience for both of our children. Excellent staff, beautiful state of the art facilities, great curriculum. The staff really loves and cares for the kids. Can't say enough, great school!
