What Parents Say
UCLA Early Care and Education receives highly polarized reviews, with most parents praising the caring teachers, child development outcomes, and improved leadership, while a smaller number report serious concerns about safety, staff composition, and institutional policies. The facility appears to have undergone recent leadership changes that some parents view positively, though past issues remain a concern for others.
We started our son at Krieger when he was about a year in the Bunnies classroom and we are incredibly grateful for the experience. The teachers in his room were kind and compassionate, and taught him many skills including eating at a table, gross motor development, how to regulate his emotions, sleep on a cot, and much more. The facility had lots of outdoor space, an amazing kitchen (we tried some of the cookies and they were truly delicious), and is well maintained. The leadership under Ale was headed in a great direction with new programs and ideas being implemented daily. We unfortunately had to move when he was 18 months, and it was difficult to say goodbye on the last day. We are thankful to Krieger for taking care of our son.
Our daughter has been enrolled here for over two years now and me and my wife could not be any happier with the personal care she has received, as well as the education and early development skills she has gained during her time here. She has developed her socialization skills and increased self esteem which is truly wonderful to see. The staff have been so friendly and caring — from the teachers, assistants and management. We are truly thankful for all that they have done and continue to do.
Sterile and totally institutional environment. Not the best place for kids or teachers. A revolving door of interns and aides caring for kids. Many, young men who appear to be between 18-22 doing diaper changes. This was never disclosed to me until I asked. Are men doing diaper changes? To my surprise the answer was yes. I asked for females only doing diaper changes and my request was denied. Also came to find out the school DOES NOT CELEBRATE any HOLIDAYS or allow for decorations to be “culturally sensitive to different families”. As a minority I’m insulted by the false assumption that we minorities don’t want to celebrate varied American holidays. A staple of childhood and learning. School philosophy is based on social justice, meeting quotas and affirmative action and not based on children. After 3 months I took my son out.
We have had a fantastic experience in the older preschool room. Great teachers, and the new directors are fantastic. If there were problems in the past, they seem to have been dealt with.
My older son had a great time at krieger. The teachers were professional and very attentive. We hope to get our younger son in as well.
