La Crescenta Presbyterian Church Ctr. For Childre

The Center for Children is truly a gem! We’ve had both of our kids there—from infant daycare all the way through preschool, and now even summer camp as rising first graders. This place is more than just a preschool—it’s a nurturing, joyful, and enriching environment that strikes the perfect balance between play and learning. The teachers are incredibly warm, intentional, and genuinely care about each child’s growth. Both of our kids have thrived academically and socially, and we owe so much of that to the strong foundation they received here. We can’t thank the Center for Children enough for the love and care they’ve poured into our family!

I’m extremely disappointed with our experience at this daycare and feel other parents should be aware before enrolling their children. First, the management appears to be very disorganized. Communication from the office is inconsistent and issues that are brought up are not handled in a professional or timely manner. It often feels like concerns are ignored rather than addressed. One of the biggest problems has been the constant turnover and inconsistency of staff in my child’s room. Young children benefit from routine and familiar caregivers, but it seems like there is a different teacher almost every week. This lack of stability makes it difficult to feel confident that my child is receiving consistent care and attention. Another major concern is the cleanliness and food quality. On more than one occasion there have been bugs found in the food being served to the children. This is completely unacceptable for any childcare facility and raises serious questions about the overall sanitation and safety standards. Additionally, when concerns are brought up to my child’s teacher, I’m typically told to take the issue to the office. Unfortunately, the office staff has been unhelpful in resolving these concerns. There is also a staff member in the front office who is extremely rude and unprofessional when interacting with parents. Instead of being helpful or understanding, this person often comes across as dismissive and unfriendly, which only adds to the frustration when trying to address problems. Overall, this daycare needs significant improvements in management, staffing consistency, cleanliness, and customer service. I cannot recommend this facility to other parents in its current state.
