The most amazing grade school ever! My son has been going to LaDera Prep since he was two years old. He is currently 5 years old and I am AMAZED with the educations that he has received. Literally, he is in Kindergarten, doing 2nd to 3rd grade work. My son actively works on multiplication for homework, and now division when most schools are just teaching kids to count. Ms. Swarna is serious about respect, honor, and education! You get beyond your money's worth. The values and education prepares them for an amazing start. The only downfall is that the school does not go past kindergarten :-(. So I have to find another school that challenges my son and applies similar education, love and morals... unfortunately from what I see, there are not too many options out there. I am so sad that he will be leaving this year, but happy since my youngest son will be able to go there once he is of age! Swarna has become a dear friend. I highly respect her, and the level of integrity she has shown in going above and beyond being an exceptional soul. I trust her with my child, and truly it takes a village to raise a child! She has high expectations for herself, her students, and the children! Another young girl, 5 years old, just left the school (kindergarten) and has placed to first grade, and will be in second grade at the end of this school year. Once a child leaves LaDera Prep they will, most likely be way more advanced than the average student. I only pray that God leads us to the best option outside of LaDera Prep!

My son has been at this school for a few weeks and although the school is almost everything I was looking for there are some down falls. Academically so far I think it's really good and I'm pleased with the diversity of the students. However, they have been very unwelcoming to my husband and I. Whenever we drop him off and pick him up no one says a word to us not Hi or Bye, they never give us information on events that the school is holding, they changed his class without notifying either of us, they didnt give us his homework or tell us where we can find it in the class and the only time the director has really spoken to me was when it concerned the payment.

Ladera Heights Prep is awesome. Since my son has been attending here-we see so much improvement in his spelling and writing skills. We love it. The staff is awesome from the owner Ms. Swarna to all the wonderful staff here. They really show a genuine care for the students. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a preschool where they aim to place your child on the right track for education.

This school is the jewel of the community! The Director/Principal, and caring teachers go beyond the academia and emphasize good morals, character and etiquette. The students benefit from the international perspective that the staff shares and the diverse group of students that the school attracts. LHP has taken great care in rallying around my son when he was going through "a phase" to propel him to success in school and throughout his life. I cannot thank them enough!

My daughter has shown amazing growth and development here. It is like an the schools, of old! She has a basic foundation tht is solid enough to propel her into her future. I couldn't be happier with how she is coming along. Phonic's, math, a second language. It is an amazing place for my little one to get a head start!! I love the teachers there and how they seem to be bringing out the best in my daughter! She will be ready to progress when the time comes, I am sure of it!!
