We are a private, Christian school established in 2005 with a philosophy to raise well-rounded Christian children. At St. Mary School, each child is treated as a unique gift of God, trusting that if the Lord Christ, Himself, is at the center and heart of a child from their early beginnings, they will grow to become a positive presence to our community and society. We believe that every moment is a teachable moment and an opportunity to build a better Christian student. We look at a child from a holistic perspective, which includes their family, school, and environment. We offer all our experience to bring our children to their fullest potential. Our experienced and loving teachers provide a fun, quality education in a safe and pleasant atmosphere.

The question to ask is: How can your kids grow in a childcare environment - physically, mentally and emotionally? At Ekata Training Center, we specialize in all three domains. First, all in-service days and enrichment programs are included with no additional hidden costs. Our competitors often charge extra for van pick up, drop off, in-services days, minor holidays and enrichment classes. At Ekata all of these are included in the cost. Second, we offer far more than just baby-sitting. And make no mistake about it, most of our competitors while perfectly safe - offer just that - safe babysitting. If your child is going to spend a significant amount of time at a facility other than your home, don't you want them to do something other than play with toys? Third, physical activity. We offer a full-service fitness facility and pediatric fitness programming that accompanies our martial arts curriculum. And here's another significant family advantage. All parents with children enrolled in our childcare program receive FREE gym memberships! Want to save money and get rid of your Gold's or LA Fitness membership? Well, here's an excellent option and another way you save money with Ekata. All of our programs are specifically designed to help your child improve physically, mentally and emotionally. Our martial arts curriculum incorporates cognitive learning therapies in order to improve attentiveness and self-regulation. Our childcare program, EkataCare is specifically designed to incorporate social/emotional learning in free play and structured activities so kids learn how to communicate and process their emotions in a healthy, non-confrontational manner. It teaches kids how do have empathy and compassion for other beings while also giving them the tools to be strong and confident. We need our kids to be able to stand up for themselves; to protect themselves with realistic, proven, practical martial arts training but also develop a compassionate, caring mind state so self-protection is the last resort. Our program includes learning about nature, plant life, other cultures - and life. We also have a kid-specific mindfulness program so that children learn to manage stress effectively. We've seen incidents of childhood stress, self-harm and even addiction skyrocket over the course of this pandemic. And it's time to give our kids the tools they need to flourish under any circumstance.

Business Owner: 15 years ago, I decided to start my own Family Child Care program to help working families in my community. With very little education, I enrolled into several college courses and attended professional development workshops after 12 hours days. Over the years, I have made use of this knowledge by incorporating it into my work with the children. After years of hard work and determination, I received an Associates Degree in Child Development from Los Angeles Valley College and hold a Master Teacher Permit from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
