Westminster Presbyterian Preschool

I absolutely LOVE this place for my daughter. She wakes up every morning excited for school. I love the atmosphere of the place… all the staff is friendly and helpful. I also love the curriculum-​they center it around learning and also incorporate Jesus Christ and the Lord. Every child I see there has a huge smile on their face. They also do fundraisers for the school to buy new equipment if it’s needed and they also help the community by giving to those in need. This is the place to go for preschool in Burbank… trust me, you will NOT be disappointed!

I think this school gave me a great foundation for academic success, social skills, and creativity! I have watched the program grow over the years and I believe it deserved the title of BEST IN BURBANK for the past two years.
I’m unsure who actually makes the time to write these, but the negativity I see is appalling and I couldn’t help but respond. This school has very kind and concerned teachers and an extremely dedicated director. They put child safety, kindness, and education and creativity before anything else. You cannot find a better program in Burbank.
If you need new-​aged yoga/​preschool for your children, maybe you should reevaluate your priorities. As for the self-​confidence comment, I definitely came out of my shell thanks to this program.
Hope I provided some insight!

Run from this school, if you want your children to have any self confidence whatsoever. The teachers are subpar and the director is shameful. Thank heaven I took my son out after a few months and saved his dignity and well being. They have no kindness, understanding or empathy towards children. It is a skewed mistake of a preschool. There are far superior places to send your child, anywhere but here. Look at the reviews that somehow were placed off the main page… they’ll support this unfortunate conclusion. The place should shut its doors.

I can’t believe that this school is still operating after all the horrible things I have heard about it and experienced! One day, when I was dropping my son off at school, there was no teacher in the classroom. There were children in the class from the morning session but no teacher. I waited for about a minute and a half and finally the teacher came in. She had no excuse as to why she was not in class. The front door to the school was right next to the classroom and WIDE OPEN. Any kid could have wandered out the front door and into the parking lot and no one would have noticed. When I talked to one of the directors she said she was supposed to be watching the class and wondered, out loud, where she was? My son got injured one day and the teachers had a from for me to sign when I picked him up. I asked what had happened and the teacher THAT HAD SIGNED THE FORM said she didn’t see it happen but heard he fell. I began to worry about my son and his safety so I pulled him out of school. I have heard many complaints from other moms that have pulled their kids out of that school too and would never recommend it to anyone ever! — See more at:

I’ve sent two preschoolers here, and here’s what I like about it: it’s an old-​school neighborhood nursery school — not a day care. Kids need to be potty-​trained. It’s a great way to introduce kids to a school environment. Most teachers are super friendly. I love how bright and cheerful it is, and it’s a great group of kids who attend, from nice families.
What I don’t like about this school — which is something they can and SHOULD improve — is that they’ve gotten stale. I’ve seen it over the years. I’d like to see the teachers and directors bring in more progressive ideas — simple things. I’d like to see the kids make their own art projects. Draw and paint independently. Be allowed to experiment with different mediums. The teachers tell the kids exactly what to make and how to do it. I think little kids should be encouraged to be creative and experimental. Teachers/​Directors do the same thing every year and I don’t see any new ideas from any of the teachers!
Second, the classrooms are a little closed off to parents. They don’t really encourage parent participation and don’t update parents on progress of kids. Would have loved a little note home or report saying what my kid is going well or what they should work on or who they play with in class. That sort of thing.
Third, the playground is pitiful. There is ONE piece of playground equipment and it is TINY. more suitable for a backyard. They ought to start a fundraising program to improve that instead of all the fundraising they do for religious charities (though I’m not against them per se, it just seems the school needs updating).
So, it gets 3 stars for me, it could be a 5 with some improvements and updated teaching philosophies. The school needs young cheerful passionate teachers.

I went here when i was a kid from 1986−1987and so do/​did my friends kids like them they enjoy it and so did I. i voluteered here for one of my classes and i found the same awesome experience i did as back then, caring teachers, fun and warm nurturing enviroment and they actually teach. I loved it and highly reccomend it to any parent looking for a quality preschool in burbank.
