Learning House Preschool is a CCLD-licensed day care center at 5317 Topanga Canyon Blvd in Woodland Hills, serving preschool-age children (approximately 2–5 years). Operating for over 22 years under experienced educational leadership, the center integrates Reggio Emilia, Montessori, and High Scope philosophies—a rare multi-framework approach in the West Valley. Its license was issued in April 2024 with a clean compliance record and zero citations across all inspections. The intimate enrollment (capacity 30) supports individualized attention and a strong sense of community, as reflected in strong parent reviews (5.0 Winnie rating, 15 Yelp reviews). Full-day hours (7:00 am–6:00 pm) accommodate working families. The center does not offer an infant program, so families needing care for younger children should seek separate arrangements.
