Schools near Palos Verdes Estates, CA

“I have put 2 Kids through this program/school/daycare and highly recommend. The teachers have shown great care and kindness towards my children and create a structured and positive learning environment. My now kindergarten was very prepared for his transition to school.”

“Golden City CDC holds a very special place in my heart. I attended this center as a child, and now both of my kids have had the chance to experience the same caring environment and enriching activities. Over the years, I’ve seen how dedicated the staff are to each child’s growth and well-being. They create a warm, nurturing atmosphere where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

The teachers and caregivers are attentive, patient, and truly passionate about early childhood education. The curriculum is both fun and educational, blending playtime, creative activities, and early learning in a way that keeps kids engaged and happy. The center is always clean, organized, and welcoming to families.

I’m so grateful for the positive impact Golden City CDC has had on my family. Watching my children thrive there, just as I did years ago, makes me confident in recommending this center to anyone looking for a trustworthy, high-quality place for their child’s early years. Golden City CDC is more than a childcare facility, it’s a community that truly cares.”

“Best decision I've ever made for my son. I did a lot research before enrolling him. Sing in Chinese is the only one fits all my needs. All the teachers are nice, friendly and patient. He made great progress in mandarin. I’d like to recommend Sing to all the parents who live in this area.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Palos Verdes Montessori School, which has been an incredible place for my son, Jack. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and knew this was the right choice for him. The warmth and care that the teachers show to each child, including Jack, make all the difference. They take the time to really know him, understand his strengths, and help him grow at his own pace.

Jack has blossomed so much since joining the school. He’s become more independent, confident, and curious about the world around him. The Montessori approach, which encourages hands-on learning and self-discovery, has been perfect for him. He comes home excited to share what he’s learned, and I’ve seen his love for learning deepen every day.

What really stands out is the personal attention Jack receives. His teachers are not only skilled educators but also caring mentors who create a safe and nurturing environment. They’ve helped him build friendships, develop important social skills, and gain a sense of responsibility. Jack genuinely loves going to school, and as a parent, that’s all I could ask for.

The sense of community at Palos Verdes Montessori is also something I truly appreciate. It feels like a second family, where both children and parents are valued and supported.

Choosing this school for Jack has been one of the best decisions we’ve made, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a place where their child will thrive.”

“Amazing school! A great place for kids to explore and use their imagination. A highly supportive community of parents working together to empower our children with the tools and friends they need”

“Honestly one of the best places for your little ones to start their learning journey and caring system is well structure. Communication with the staff is super easy and our kid loves the environment and the staff. Would recommend signing up ahead of time with the wait time being a couple months but I know it changes so just as a heads up. Nothing by great things about this location and staff. We’re thankful and happy here.”

“LOK is a great Preschool & Child Care Center, the team has really done a tremendous job when it comes to my son Eric, he has greatly improved his learningskills and thanks to Ms Rebecca and the great team of teachers.”

“Review for The Academy at Manhattan Beach: Bright Horizons

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Bright Horizons in Manhattan Beach! My son attended from ages 2 to 4, and he absolutely thrived there. The teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and truly invested in each child’s growth. Every day, he came home excited to tell me about the fun activities, songs, and lessons he learned. The environment is warm, welcoming, and feels like an extension of home.

Now, my daughter has been attending, and we have been just as happy with her experience. The only reason we are leaving is that they don’t offer infant care for our youngest, and it’s simply easier for our family to have both children at the same school. Otherwise, we would stay in a heartbeat!

On top of the amazing teachers, the center director and staff are absolutely fantastic—always helpful, communicative, and going above and beyond to make sure families feel supported.

If you’re looking for a nurturing, engaging, and loving daycare, I highly recommend The Academy in Manhattan Beach. We are so grateful for the amazing foundation they’ve given our children! We will truly miss them!”

“Fusion Academy Manhattan Beach has been an amazing experience for our son. He is a smart and hard working kid but for some reason a large public high school didn't work for him so he switched to Fusion Academy Manhattan Beach in his Sophomore year of high school and is now in his junior year. There are so many positives to share. The one-on-one teaching is excellent. The quality of the teachers is very high but my son is also understanding the school work so much more as he is able to ask questions right away but at the same time there is no place to hide in the class. The teachers are also very supportive, they want you to understand the work and it feels more like a partnership. There are also more course options available, which given my sons interest in computing, he has been able to take classes like Cybersecurity in addition to the usual AP computer classes, and is planning on taking Animation in his final year. The school is also very flexible as there has been times he has had to move classes around or reschedule classes due to things like illness, and it has been very easy to do that. What we have really learned as a family is that there are many school options available to your kids, and if you find the right one, like we have for our son, it can really change them in a positive way.”

“School teachers help in learning English. Learning gives many advantages for adaptation in the country. Students become more confident and happy. Thank you very much!!!”

“As a parent you will never find a school or day care center as remarkable as this school. Ms Laura, Ms. Pauline, Ms. Candace, Ms. Sigh, Ms. angelie & Ms. ester are all the sweetest most loving women working in this school, Ive ever seen. My daughter Kyla is reading at 1st & 2nd grade Levels and already doing double digit addition & subtraction at 5 years old. Ms. Pauline is a gift from Jesus himself! So much love flows through this place. I wish my child can stay here forever!!!”

“The team is very professional and effective. My son came out of the three weeks summer instruction ahead of the game in school with more confidence and knowledge to be able to learn in fourth grade.”

“Our son attended BCM for two years. This school is a absolute gem. A great place run by wonderful, caring, engaged educators. We wouldn’t be in California if we hadn’t found BCM. We are so grateful for the impact they’ve had on our son and our lives. Best wishes.”

“Giselle at RLC 2 is a true gem! She is patient, kind, caring and takes very good care of the children. If I have any concerns the directors takes my needs seriously and we find resolutions together for the benefit of my son. My son is learning ALOT and is thriving. The owner is dedicated to excellence and it shows with the growth and development of my son.”

“Savoir Faire has been an excellent preschool for our kids. The teachers are patient, creative, and supportive. The students learn the languages surprisingly well.Our kids have split their time between the French and Spanish classes. Madame Fanny in the French class feels like an extra grandparent for our kids because they have come to bond with her. She is incredible with the kids and has helped me improve my French as well. The Spanish teachers of Patty, Patricia, Jocelyn, Nancy, and others have also been truly wonderful. We love Savoir Faire.”

“My family has a toddler at St. Abraams who’s been there since infancy. We were referred by some friends who had great things to say and then found out a coworker had also sent their kids there and also thought highly of it. The staff are loving and care for the kids. It also has pretty long hours. We sent our first two to another place but had to change due to distance and have been pretty happy here as well.”

“My daughter loves Rising Stars Academy. The staff is welcoming and professional and I could not be more pleased. This is not just a daycare. It's a learning facility. My daughter comes home daily showing me all the new things she has learned. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for safe and nurturing child care.”

“My grandchildren go here and they absolutely love it. Every time I have been to the school to see them or pick them up, they are always having fun and excited to share everything about the school and what they have learned and the fun activities they have done. I have definitely felt like the entire staff truly and deeply cares about these children as they do so much more than the other schools in the area. I am so happy my daughter found the school to send her children to. They are thriving and absolutely amaze me with how well they’re doing.”

“Dawn is very caring, thoughtful, and flexible. She takes great care to engage the babies and kids in developmentally appropriate play activities, and the kids love her! She is also great to communicate with and accommodates the needs of each family as much as possible. We have felt very safe and cared for at her facility.”

“I love this daycare! All the teachers are wonderful and you can see they truly love being with kids; It is more like a family than a daycare; It does not have fancy toys, high tech activities but kids learn how to become creative under the supervision of the teachers. Highly Recommend!”

“Would like to start off by saying that Mr. Donohue is amazing and he is the reason that we are very happy to be part of the Saint Joseph Family. Would definitely recommend for any new families to consider taking a tour of our amazing school!”

“What a gem of a preschool! So glad we found this school in 2015 and are sad we are wrapping up our time there. Ms. Josie, the director, has made such thoughtful and important changes to the school's facility to make it a safe, nurturing and engaging place for children. Many of her staff have worked there for years and their kindness and dedication to the children is so apparent. My children know they are loved.There is so much play space (indoor and out) and never a shortage of activities. From the garden yard to the bike yard to the playground to the reading nooks - there is always something to discover, lessons to learn and joy to find. My children learned so many important social skills - they've become confident and independent and remind me to eat my healthy food first (a saying during lunchtime at SJP). We are not Lutheran but appreciated that they teach love and acceptance and to celebrate differences.The classes are small, this is not a giant, impersonal daycare. We bonded with many of the families and feel like we're part of a true community.Tuition is reasonable and the hours are IDEAL for working parents.”

“I love hickory tree, my son has learned so much. The teachers are caring and come up with fun art projects and activities. Mrs Rosie and Ms Brenda are great and truly care about the kids. My child went in not really grasping vocabulary and now he's speaking very clearly and expresses his happiness with words. Overall a great school.”

“Ms. Kayla is very observant, and notices where children are in each class, and what skills she should focus on to meet their individual needs. Thank you Ms. Kayla for your time and dedication in nurturing our children's talent and teaching them to become skilled dancers.”

“Words cannot express our sincere gratitude to every single amazing person who loved our child and us for the 2 years were were with you.
He had had a bad experience at another school before we decided to join L&B, and we were anxious when we first visited. Miss Jeong invited him to join her class on that first tour visit, and he was immediately comfortable with Miss Jeong and therefore so were we. Every single day he and we have experienced nothing but love, guidance, support, and challenges to help him grow and mature. Miss DeJahnae, thank you for your leadership of the center and also for your academic lessons, his skills have improved greatly thanks to your hard work. And I believe the culture of the center starts with you as the leader, and as a parent, the culture of your center is what I want for him.
Stem, and Mr. Hunter, have made, I believe, a lifelong impression on him, that science and learning can be FUN and FASCINATING! What more can an educator ask for, a lifelong learning impact on a student??? THANK YOU, Mr. Hunter, for your creative, thoughtful lessons, he absorbs them entirely, and we have all benefited from your stem classes.
Miss DeJahnae, Miss Jeong, Miss Tasha, Miss Mitra, Miss Inoka, Mr. Hunter, Miss Jenn, Miss Susan, I hope I didn't miss anyone, thank you for loving him for who he is, and helping him grow. We will never forget you all!!!”

“This school is amazing. The director, Mrs. Kim, is so loving and nurturing to the kids. She goes above and beyond to make sure that her students are enjoying their time at school. Both of my daughters have attended this school, and I am so happy for that. My older daughter still wants to go up every day when we pick up my youngest to say hi to Mrs. Kim. The teachers are attentive and playful, the kids do projects and assignments that stimulate their bright minds. When I pick up my youngest daughter from school, she’s skipping and smiling. Ms Justine is so sweet, Ms. Karishma too - we saw her out in the wild and she greeted my daughter so warmly, it was obvious that she loves the kids. Mr Malik always gives my daughter a high 5 on her way out. This place is everything you want for your kids. I thank God for Mrs Kim and Merry Go Round every day. If you’re looking for a school that feels like a family this is the place to send your child.”

“Our kids go to Nihao under the tutelage of teachers Momo and Wanjun and Angel, and it's been fantastic. Teachers are all so loving and caring, and our kids absolutely love the classes. A++”

“Great staff and environment for our children. We have a 22 month and 6 month old who are both at the Greenwood Kindercare. They have both noticeably advanced since going to the center. The communication from teachers and site director have been top notch! We look forward to getting the daily photos via KLC app showing the kiddos having fun and smiling”
