Joyce's Toluca Lake Pre-School

Joyce's preschool has been an invaluable part of our family's journey. With two daughters who thrived under their care until elementary school and now a son happily attending, we appreciate the nurturing environment, dedicated staff, and enriching activities that have played a crucial role in our children's development. Joyce's is a second home where our kids feel loved, safe, and are given the foundation for a bright future.

We love Joyce's for our son. Will send our other son when he's old enough and always recommend to friends.

We are a new family to Joyce's and we are already so in love. We have Ms Emilia and my daughter comes home everyday happy and telling me stories and making me pretend to be Ms Emilia so she can relive the day. We love Ms Amethyst who gave us our tour and keeps us up to date on everything. Our experience is so positive, also we love Ms Bonnie. Oh and Miss Paris and Miss Lindy! Kind, knowledgeable, and attentive teachers and staff. So many wonderful people. I already recommended it to all my friends.

My kids' previous daycare stayed closed longer than most during the pandemic and we switched our eldest son to Joyce's because we couldn't handle all 3 toddlers at home while juggling work. While we LOVED our previous school, their teaching methods were nonexistent and we had been worried about our son's academic growth (all play, very little learning), especially since he was nearing Kindergarten age. Within a week of being at Joyce's he could write his full name and learned all the days of the week. One month in he knew the months and could write all of his letters and numbers. We were amazed at how much he had absorbed in such a small amount of time. Our early experience with Joyce's was so great, I can only imagine how much better it must be without the Covid limitations (can't wait to see Mr. Johnny leading a recital in person! Our son loved it immediately and we couldn't wait to enroll our twins when they turned 2. Now all 3 of our kids go to Joyce's and we love having them there. I appreciate the like-minded parents and student body, the diverse group of kids in each class and in the faculty, and the variation of activities they offer in their curriculum. Our kids are always bringing home great creations and learning new, themed lessons each week. The staff clearly loves our kids and it shows in their eagerness to attend school each day. Joyce's is not a bells-and-whistles place, but it is filled with caring staff who challenge and grow our children in a fun environment. Ms. Linda is kind, generous, and compassionate and her passion for the school is clear in how it's run. Our son has made such great progress that we decided to keep him there through TK and know he'll be prepped and ready when Kinder starts. We are so glad we made the switch!

Very highly recommended. My kids both went to school here and absolutely loved it. The difference between their previous preschool and Joyce's was night and day when it comes to kindergarten preparation, but I was more impressed with the teachers and their genuine love and care for each student. My kids were attending during the pandemic and the school took a sensible, science-based approach that I deeply appreciated. Excellent school, great value, kind, loving teachers with child development backgrounds.
