Our playground is about to turn into a concert venue. On Saturday, September 26, the Beat Buds return to Woodland Hills. This favorite band brings a morning of live, interactive music as part of our Back to School Picnic. The Beat Buds are a favorite for a reason. Their show invites parents and kids to join in together, whether that means dancing on the grass or picking up an instrument to play alongside the band. This picnic is a chance for families to connect with each othe

Back to School Night is one of the evenings our teachers look forward to most. They spend their days with your children. On Tuesday, September 15, at 4:30 PM, they get to spend an evening with you. Here is how it goes. You settle into your child's classroom, in the room where your little one hangs a backpack every morning. Your child's teacher walks you through the day from the top. Arrival, circle time, the projects on the table, snack, outside time, and the quiet stretch in

Grandparents are woven into the heart of our Woodland Hills community. They show up to school plays, slip extra hugs in at pickup, and remind our children just how loved they are, day after day.

From 3:00 to 5:15 PM, grandparents and grandchildren will get an afternoon that is all their own, filled with a favorite activity, treats to share, and the kind of easy laughter that comes from spending ti

We're truly touched by how often our families share that the tight-knit community at Woodland Hills is the highlight of their experience. Our classrooms build close bonds. Families connect through group chats, plan playdates, and celebrate birthdays together outside of school. Many families lean on each other for small favors too, like a carpool swap or a recommendation for a good pediatrician. Most of our new families find us through word of mouth. Our current families are p

Woodland Hills is getting ready for a special visitor day. On Friday, August 21, a petting zoo will set up right in our yard, bringing goats, sheep, and bunnies for our children to meet. Our children will spend the morning up close with goats, sheep, and bunnies, guided by an instructor who brings each animal to life with stories about what it eats, how it lives, and why it looks the way it does. Gently petting and caring for an animal teaches our children to be soft with som

Our Child's World Encino campus turned into a racetrack on Friday, August 7, when we hosted our Hot Wheels Race Car Party. Children of every age circled the Super-Duper Looper Table Track, watching cars loop and launch around every turn. Down the hall, the Amazing Oval of Speed gave our youngest racers a chance to line up their favorite cars and watch them zoom around the bend together. Outside, two Hot Wheels Hill Tracks stretched from a raised platform to the floor. Childre

Some visitors leave such an impression that our kids ask about them all year, and Professor Egghead is one of them. On Friday, July 17, Professor Egghead returns to Child's World School Woodland Hills for another round of science experiments designed to spark curiosity in our kids. Past shows have included a balloon experiment that sent a balloon soaring right over our campers' heads, met with cheers and wide eyes all around. Our teaching team loves bringing in experiences li

This week at Child's World School Encino, our campers traded screens for sunshine and spent their days Discovering Nature, with every age group exploring the outdoors in their own way. Our infants and toddlers started the week with a nature walk right outside our doors, then dug into a Tuesday music session with Teacher Paulie.

Our kids will take turns driving their own little trains around campus, building confidence and independence with every loop. For our youngest riders who are not quite ready to take the

On Thursday, June 18, Child's World Encino is celebrating Father's Day with Popsicles with Pop from 3 to 5:30 p.m. at pickup time. Families are invited to stop by, share a popsicle, and do a fun craft with their child. If dad can't make it, any special grown-up is completely welcome. These pickup events are easy to underestimate. They're short. They're casual. There's a popsicle involved. But for a young child, the experience of having a parent or grandparent step into their

Summer break means different things to different families. For some, it is a chance to slow down. For others, it is a logistical puzzle. At Child's World Woodland Hills, our Summer Camp is designed to take care of both: giving children an exciting, enriching summer while giving families reliable, trusted care from a school they already know. 1. The Themes Make Every Week Feel New One of the things children love most about Summer Camp is that each week brings a new adventure.

One by one, they walked across the stage to receive their diplomas, surrounded by the families and teachers who have cheered them on from the very begin

Our graduates received their diplomas, performed songs, and danced to music that had the whole room smiling. Photo time on stage a
