What California does not publish here

The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.

  • Can’t say enough great things about WHCA. I had both of my children here. Miss Maria has been the absolute best. If I could keep my kids here until high school I would. If you’re looking for a fantastic pre school, this is the place! They have incredible teachers, they make amazing food and the activities are so much fun. Your kids will come home having learned something new every day!

  • Our family love this school - we sent our child here from age 2.5 and they quickly jumped into all the creative teaching the school offers. Our favorite is they offer Spanish lessons as a well as interactive music and animal classes to get the kids excited. Would recommend this school and the staff to any parent!

  • I can’t say enough good things about weho children’s academy. My daughter has been going there for 6 months now and I’m so glad I chose them. I was so nervous to send her to daycare but the teachers made her and us feel so comfortable. My daughter talks about ms B all the time. The teachers are so nurturing and I love that she is learning so much at the same time. We love seeing pictures of zoology class where she has gotten to see so many different real animals in person. I love the constant photo and video updates and they have great and quick communication at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend!

  • My daughter is going on her third year at WHCA and we couldn’t recommend it enough. The teachers are kind, supportive, caring, and collaborative. Our daughter looks forward to going every day. The confidence my daughter feels I know is a direct result to how she’s grown in this environment and feels supported.

  • This is the way a neighborhood preschool should be -- and it's doubly rare in sprawling Los Angeles. Expertly run by an administrator with decades of experience. An owner who cares about doing things right. Teachers who love their jobs. Many of the kids come from the area. They're also diverse, too, which we loved. So we have birthday parties in the nearby park, nature walks organized by parents, on top of all the lovely activities that the school provides. It's a pillar of our local lives, just a lovely lovely place.

  • After touring several preschools, this was immediately our top choice. It was also the furthest from our home, yet we happily made the drive every day because this school felt truly special and one of a kind. The balance of creative and academic activities is so thoughtfully done. Each day is thoroughly designed to nurture curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning. Ms. Maria, Ms. Beatrice, and Ms. Angela are truly incredible. Their patience, kindness, and genuine love for the children made such a meaningful difference in our son's growth and confidence. They supported him beautifully in his learning and were especially amazing during potty training; always encouraging, gentle, and positive. Watching him thrive in their care has meant everything to us. Ms. Julia brings a level of professionalism, care, and organization that is truly felt throughout the school. She clearly understands how to thoughtfully run a preschool while still maintaining a warm, family like environment. We are endlessly grateful for the love, care, and strong foundation this school has given our son. West Hollywood Children's Academy is truly a gem, and we would recommend it without hesitation to any family looking for the very best preschool experience.
