Arleta
That’s right–we wanted to give you amazing “local insider” value by talking about Arleta (in the Northeast Valley).
Not only have moms we know sent their kids to free universal preschool in Arleta (kids who are now cutting it up in subsequent Valley gifted programs), Magnet Yenta Angel has good things to say about Vena Elementary, to wit:
1) Vena has traditionally been where teachers train to go onto more well-known gifted programs
2) In dealing with gifted kids, they emphasize sports, music and art
3) Vena is a Music Center/LA Opera school
Angel also suggests Vena might appeal to parents of children with learning and attention difficulties.

I grew up in the Northeast Valley and went to Vena mylsef some 25 years ago. My parents still live in the area and were urging me to look for a preschool in the area ( I now live in West Hills) I’m looking for a preschool for my four year old. Is there any such gems in or around Canoga Park?
