Kids Collective has been an amazing experience for my son!

This is an absolute gem of a school.
Szilvi is truly genuine in her approach to early childhood education and knows what she’s doing. I trust her with my son. Children do one week Montessori, one week Reggio so that they get both approaches evenly. The environment is beautiful and incorporates everything that children this age should be exploring like physical movement, gardening and nature, animal interactions and care, natural materials explorations, music, and yoga. The teachers are warm, professional, thoughtful, and caring.

Couldn't be happier with the preschool and the teaching staff!
1. The year starts with 1:4 teacher per kids ratio (plus the director helps in the beginning of the year so almost 1.5:4), extremely small class size (this is great for kids transitioning from home environment where they have full attention of an adult), potty training not required to join but teachers assist during training
2. Classrooms and outdoor space are well equipped, there’s actually enough room for all kids to be indoors during rain (not all preschools do, I know – a shocker)
3. Curriculum: Montessory+Reggio curriculum: most nearby preschools are one or the other
4. Extra classes and activities, strong focus on organic lifestyle and taking care of pets

Highly recommend this magical school!
My son joined KC at 2.5 years old and it’s been the best thing for our family…
… The teachers are engaged (and communicative with feedback), and my little one doesn’t want to leave when I pick him up. My son’s social skills have exploded and his curiosity for learning continues to grow here. From caring for animals, fostering independent/practical life skills, gardening, music, yoga to incredible projects based on children’s interests, this is an amazing place for a toddler to gain confidence while having fun. Yes, he can count, sound letters, name planets amongst other things- but most impressively, he is developing a solid foundation for who he will be as a person and life long learner.

I recommend this school to every toddler parent I meet in west LA!
We chose Kids Collective for our child mostly based on three factors: 1. True Montessori curriculum and culture, 2. Small teacher to student ratio, 3. Respectful, gentle and effective pedagogical approach.
In our 5 months at the preschool, we can safely say Kids Collective has gone above and beyond our expectations with both their Montessori and Reggio Emilia classrooms. As a former preschool teacher myself, I can safely say that Kids Collective is a one-in-a-million school focused entirely on each child’s growth and nurturing while also including the parents in a holistic, family approach.
