What Parents Say
Small World Child Education Center receives polarized reviews with strong support from long-term families praising academic excellence, character development, and in-house meals, but serious concerns from other parents about harsh discipline and staff conduct. The 2.9/5 rating reflects a significant divide between satisfied families and those reporting abusive treatment.
I had all three of my kids attend Small World, and it was truly an invaluable experience. They all started in the Giraffe class and completed kindergarten there. A couple of them also attended the elementary after-school program, which was amazing as well. We have been with Small World for close to 10 years now, and I continue to be so grateful for the impact it has had on our family. I love that the school focuses not only on academics, but also on character development and Christian values. I also truly appreciate the care they put into everything — even the food they prepare is wonderful. My kids all excelled in elementary school and now in middle school, and I truly credit that to the strong foundation they received at Small World. Highly recommend this place for your little ones.
Our experience with Small World for the past 4 years has been great! Their curriculum is definitely above LAUSD standards. The teachers instill structure and help develop moral character as well. The negative reviews do not reflect this caring, highly educational school. The owner's sons are nice, polite, and graduated from reputable universities. Who cares if the sons work there? Why judge another person's family? That was shallow and unnecessary. Yes, Small World is strict but equally compassionate. Food is homemade, the rooms are very clean and organized, and all the staff prioritize the children like their own. They even have several hands on events throughout the year that are really cute,too! Disclaimer: Bulldozer parenting - a parenting style that seeks to remove all obstacles so that the child never has to be uncomfortable, face a challenge, or suffer a consequence. If you are a bulldozer parent, then you do not deserve this school. Small World is underrated and should be praised for their excellent curriculum and caring staff.
My daughter has been going here since she turned 3. Both Bunny and Giraffe class has been enjoyable and she likes it! The teachers are very friendly and warm. I like that the staff are very easy to talk to and sweet to all the children. Principal Yun is very hands on with the kids which I appreciate and she somehow memorized all of the kids names there! Overall, we love the school and its small but yet nurturing and warm environment that they provide the children. A bonus is that they serve fresh lunch that are made in-house!
My first born has been coming to Small World since he was 18 months old and now he's 6 years old. A testament how great this place is! I'm very grateful that I brought my son here because Small World not only cares about education, attitude and child's well being they also make sure kids know God's word. They teach kids to pray and I like that a lot! They are not your typical daycare because even when they are infants/toddlers, they teach them academics and what not. I also like that they teach the kids to eat fruits and vegetables, the fee that they ask is worth every penny. They make sure the kids are well fed and if you have a kid that needs after school, they pick them up from the school and feed them lunch and give them snacks ensuring that the child isn't hungry. There are so many things that I can write here about Small World but one thing I am most grateful for is that they recognized my son to be a gifted student that prompted me to consult with a Psychologist that can test and verify if he was truly gifted and true enough my son was diagnosed by the Psychologist as not only gifted but a Highly Gifted individual with an IQ score of 141! If it weren't for Small World, we wouldn't have known or found out earlier which gives me the opportunity to hone his abilities early on. I'm so gratified and thankful that Small World is there! He literally grew up with them! As I have mentioned my son has been going there since he was 18months- for his daycare when he was an infant/toddler years, his preschool, Kindergarten and now his after school now that he's in 1st grade and I'm sure he will be there until he's in high school because that's how much I trust them to help me in my pursuit of my son's continued excellence in school! Trust me when I say, it's worth the trip to see and check them out should you need care for your kids! I wasn't paid to write this review, I am writing it because I want other parents to know how great this institution is! In fact, you will find this review wherever I can recommend them! That's how much I believe in this place!
My son has been going here for the past 2 years and he loves it. They feed him breakfast, lunch plus a healthy snack everyday. The teachers and t.a.'s are great and my son has a fun time learning through all of the daily activities. He's made so many friends and he actually enjoys going to school and I feel it's preparing him well for when he enters public school.
