My daughter has already graduated from Miller. She has attended Miller School for 6 years, and we have only good and sweet memories left. They have a wonderful teaching staff and a wonderful office staff. They always organize interesting events, they often have concert programs and film screenings....

It was a good school, but the teachers have gone downhill. You are fortunate if you get a good teacher as most of them are not upto the mark.

Terrible experience, will not recommend unless you want your child to fail.
5/1/2019
Not good at all! We are leaving for good! I will never recommend. Find another school in Burbank if you don't want discernation. If you don't care for academics, then it's definitely a great day care. The plaques they have, doesn't mean anything. The administration is definitely doing what they want...
