"Maestra's Elvia and Vera are true gems of the Westside! My daughter truly thrived during the year and a half she was a student at Beyond Pre-K. The program and curriculum are exceptionally well rounded. Ella left the program academically and socially ready for Kindergarten, and well on her way to learning a second language. The program includes academics, performing arts, cooking, arts and crafts and a good helping of fun! As a teacher myself, I was looking for an academically sound program, in a very nurturing environment. Sending Ella to Beyond Pre-K was a great choice for us. Additionally, Beyond Pre-K is located in a wonderful and safe neighborhood park! I cannot say enough good things about Maestra's Vera and Elvia."

"This program is amazing! It's one of Culver City's best kept secrets for Spanish preschool. I wanted my daughter to get into El Marino elementary and when I talked to El Marino's office they highly recommended sending my daughter to a Spanish preschool and they recommended this one. The teachers are so creative, patient and caring. They nurture the whole student. My daughter started off shy because of the not knowing the language but her confidence grew as she felt very safe and secure here. Also her knowledge of Spanish exploded and she even tested in as a native speaker to her Spanish elementary school. I love this school!"

"This is a HIDDEN GEM!!!!!!My son was in a lovely preschool In Santa Monica, we we're happy there but we moved to the Del Rey area and I decided to change his preschool, I AM SO GLAD I did, because even the most amazing preschool can't compare to this one, it's BEYOND amazing, words can't describe the experience that you child will have with those 2 amazing teachers Maestras Vera and Elvia, the activities are so creative and fun, the children learn so many new things including Spanish, the teachers are so thoughtful, they cook amazing food for the holidays and the gatherings are beautiful, there is such a beautiful sense of community and tuition is half of the price of what I used to pay in Santa Monica for double of the quality of learning and love! if you are ok with the 9am-2pm time slot don't think twice."

"Beyond Pre-K is an amazing place. The aesthetics and decoration created by the Maestras (Vera & Elvia) create a learning environment that provides opportunities to expand learning, creativity, imagination and fun for the children. And yet the most important qualities about Beyond Pre-K are Vera & Elvia. Amazing and highly educated teachers that provide LOVE, support children’s development and learning via entertaining experiences, and in times of pandemic show their adaptability and leadership skills to provide a healthy/clean/responsible environment for children to interact and continue developing social competence and adaptability. There are not enough positive adjectives to describe Beyond Pre-K and the maestras. My family and I will always be thankful, grateful, and cherish the wonderful experience at Beyond Pre-K."

"We wanted our daughter to study Spanish when new languages come naturally, so we enrolled her in the Beyond Pre-K immersion program. Our daughter had some anxiety, and she probably would have a rough start in any preschool. However, she got so much love and attention from Maestra Vera and Maestra Elvia that soon she was eager to go to school in the morning. Time in Beyond Pre-K goes by very quickly. The kids are busy with multiple art projects, cooking, and age appropriate academic activities. We even got a tomato plant and a sunflower to grow at home.
​
When COVID-19 pandemic started, we were scared and we pulled our daughter out. After a few sad months it became obvious that kids need in-person interaction with teachers and other kids, so we came back. Maestras always followed strict safety protocol, and our daughter was able to finish the school year without having to quarantine.
Our daughter made many new friends and she now speaks Spanish. She started elementary school, but she did not forget her maestras, and she often asks us to stop by, so she can say hi."
