Pine Tree Preschool

My daughter is now 6 years old and I’m only commenting now because I miss her being there very much. If only they could expand and be an elementary school ;) This is such a great loving and caring place. My daughter learned so much and blossomed and became very confident here. They have shady places for the children to play excellent security and a small garden. There were even days when I would take her with a pony tail and she would come home with a nice braid :) the staff is the best! When she had to leave and started first grade now she’s going into second at Frank Del Olmo my daughter would come home with her hair a mess the pony tail hanging off her shoes untied something that really hurt since I couldn’t be there for her. It’s truly hurts when you leave your babies expecting them to be taken care of.

This is a wonderful school that is indeed a hidden gem like a previous reviewer said. From the street you can’t really tell that it goes all the way back in and houses 4 classrooms and a really big yard. The owners, Yeni and Gloria, are sisters who are co-​directing the center, and you can tell that the school is a labor of love. The classrooms are well organized into various learning areas, and the walls are decorated with children’s work. There is a large garden that is well-​tended, and what would’ve just been plain asphalt is covered in a variety of different surfaces like cushioned fall material, faux grass and even large painted floor art. Their tuition is very reasonable, and while there are a lot of children, it all operates very fluidly. This is a sign of good teachers. The children know their routines and schedules, and play harmoniously. There’s just a really good energy and vibe there.
I own my own family day care and was invited to Pine Tree Preschool to meet with Gloria and Yeni. I have worked in the field of Early Childhood Education for over 12 years, and I was very impressed. It just really felt a great place to be. A school can have the newest materials and furniture, but if it doesn’t have heart, none of that matters. You can tell there’s been a lot of attention, thought and passion put into this school. If I had a child, I would happily send him/​her to Pine Tree.

This preschool is a hidden gem in Los Angeles and teachers are who makes it so great. They have excellent experienced staff. Directors Teacher Gloria and Teacher Yeni are great. My daughter started going to this school since she turned 2. Ever since then this school has been like her family to her. She learned lot of great things here. Every morning I drop her off at school I had peace of mind that she is in good hands. This school really helped build my daughter academically and socially. I wish I could give this school more stars. Teachers are hardworking and caring. They always serve healthy food and my daughter loves it. Excellent excellent school I would highly recommend it to anyone. Too bad my daughter can’t go there anymore since we moved to Orange county :((But we will always miss you.
