GBWoodcrest is definitely one of the best … Woodcrest is definitely one of the best preschools! As a parent, I searched tons of places in the valley before choosing to bring my kids here. Both my kids went to this school and now their education is way better at kindergarten and 1st grade. The teachers are amazing, the staff really great. Especially Julie Robles, the director of the school is great. You can tell she truly cares about the kids and their success at this school. If you are looking to enroll your kids in a great school, DEFINITELY check out this school.

GBWe love Woodcrest We love Woodcrest! They been taking care of our kids for 3 years and we have nothing but good things to say about them! The teachers are great, our kids learn a lot, they bring animals to pet weekly, they offer soccer and dance and gymnastics and all kinds of other fun activities for the kids! And every other week they hold a Parents Night Out event where they baby sit the kids until about 9:30pm. We couldn’t be happier with them!!

GBWonderful Preschool Experience We're into our third year at Woodcrest Preschool in Sherman Oaks. Our daughter started the week she turned 2 and is now in her last year before Kindergarten. We're amazed at what she has learned at Woodcrest. She knows a lot about many different subjects and her writing and reading foundation is already very strong. She will definitely be kindergarten ready. We love their focus on play and exploration in addition to the academics. The Summer Program is also really great, it includes extracurricular shows, interactive experiences (pony rides, water play days, animal shows, etc) and growing a garden. We also love the bonus offerings (for an additional cost). They offer Play Ball, Dance class and Bricks for Kids. And a bonus for parents, you get updates and photos throughout the day, which is so nice to have when you're away from your child! We work full time, so the hours are GREAT for that (6:30a-6:30p). We love the staff, the teachers and the vendors they bring into the classrooms.

GBMy daughter attended Woodcrest Tarzana … My daughter attended Woodcrest Tarzana for 2yrs before we transitioned her to our home school (kindergarten). Her first 6mos with the 2-3yr old class was amazing. Ms Ana and Mrs Adriana are the best. Such an amazing duo they are. They cared deeply about each and every child under their care. I noticed my daughter excelling very quickly in her acedemics and social skills. These two set the foundation for her moving forward to more advanced learning. Woodcrest has some great outside class room programs like dance, play ball, lego, swim, etc... my daughter loved these classes. However, I did feela bit of pressure to put her in one of these programs because of other kids were going. But I restricted her to one program at a time and she understood. Week/monthly activities- I loved the on-going activities they had per classroom with potlucks,pajama day, dress up day, science experiments etc... Some cons: Parking is a bit rough especially around summer time and when there are events. However, Woodcrest now has a parking attendant that help facilitate organization to keep moving people in and out. Preschool has a high turnover. Once my daughter moved out of Ana's class she went through 3-4 teachers. They certainly have some opportunity t improve their retention of teachers. Overall, we really enjoyed Woodcrest Tarzana preschool. The new Director Julie is really making some nice changes to the preschool. And she is very warm and welcoming to parents. We will greatly miss everyone we've met throughout our time at Woodcrest.

GBWoodcrest Preschool This is a place I can send my children everyday and feel confident in their safety, health and education. My oldest daughter is ready for Kindergarten due to the curriculum she went through at Woodcrest. She loved all of her teachers and never wanted to stay home from school. My youngest daughter is in the three year old class and she loves her teachers. The staff treat each other like a family, which creates a warm, loving environment for the kids. The director greets me everyday and I am always amazed to see that she knows every single child's name in the whole school! Whatever you expect from a preschool, Woodcrest will deliver!
