New Pre-School in West Valley
Referred by Jens List member alkrum@sbcglobal.net
My 2 year old son attends Miles of Smiles Education Center and I highly recommend this school. The school was started earlier this year by Stacy Wasserman who I have known professionally and personally for a few years. She is an amazing educator who just gets it. Miles of Smiles is a loving, warm and safe school which challenges the children and provides them with stimulating and age appropriate lessons and activities. Miles of Smiles is offering a summer camp and is for children ages 2-5. If you want more info, contact Stacy directly at milesofsmiles099@att.net or 88-888-1099. Miles of Smiles is at 22159 Sherman Way (between Shoup and Topanga). It is also a Jewish school so they celebrate all the Jewish holidays.”
