In addition to outdoor and indoor play, the children will make food including challah bread on Fridays, arts and crafts, and do an array of tactile activities (potting plants, water play, and shaving cream, to name a few). I am so thankful there is this amazing community and hope you consider this option for your child when looking into preschools.

I could not find a more nurturing environment for my children. And I am a non-religious person of Jewish decent (more like my heritage). The kids are not taught Tora there. They learn English and Hebrew alphabet, they play, the paint, they do what kids are supposed to do in a preschool, and in addition they bake Challa on Fridays and celebrate Shabbat and other Jewish holidays. The review by Michelle m. just blew my mind. I am sorry, but WHAT can one expect from a preschool with a name Gan ISRAEL?? A not Jewish environment???

Southern California Montessori School is truly a hidden gem, and we feel incredibly fortunate to be…read morepart of it. Under the wise and compassionate leadership of Ann Abellera and her exceptional teaching team, the school fosters a deep love of learning that radiates through everything they do. Ann brings a calm, thoughtful presence to the school, and her decades of Montessori experience are evident in the respectful, child-centered environment she and her staff have created. Rather than traditional classrooms, there is one beautiful, open learning space that allows children to move freely and engage deeply with their work. The materials are thoughtfully chosen, and the environment is designed to spark curiosity, independence, and joy in learning. I've noticed the pride my kid takes in his discoveries - it's so rewarding for a parent! Beyond academics, the school nurtures kindness, responsibility, and confidence. It's clear that every child is seen, respected, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. The outdoor space is also a huge plus--a well-maintained and cheerful playground that gives the kids a chance to run around and play. Southern California Montessori is more than a school--it's a community rooted in trust, care, and joyful learning. We can't recommend it highly enough.

Wow I was brought back to relive some great memories. Most of the staff are still the same people who took good care of me! The staff even remembered an item I brought for show & tell. Talk about paying attention to details! Seeing all the kids in such a good flow, cleaning up after themselves and listening to all the instructions was so beautiful to see. If you're looking for a pre-school, look no further. The caring staff, strategic system that works to develop foundational skills & dedication to providing a nurturing, tailored space for kids is what makes this pre-school amazing!

His confidence and love of school grew exponentially each year. Ms. Shiva has run the school for years and genuinely cares for each student and their family. Even as a busy preschool director, she always made time to address our questions, big or small. Ms. Shiva, Ms. Andrea & Ms. Maria are an organized and communicative administrative team who set the tone for all faculty. Everyone on staff is exactly the kind and patient role model a parent would want their child spending M-F with! They are dedicated and show up everyday with a smile and warm greeting. The program structure is age-appropriate and places a well-balanced emphasis on social-emotional, physical and cognitive development. Academics are seamlessly woven into every activity so it's never forced too soon, yet my son is going into kindergarten with a solid academic foundation. He recognizes all upper and lowercase letters + numbers up to 100, reads sight words and writes independently. All learned through repetition and fun. The facility is safe, meticulously maintained and has multiple huge outdoor play yards. The carpool line is efficient and well-run despite its location on major cross streets. We are sadly moving out of the area, otherwise we would enroll our younger son and happily sign up for another 3 years there. I highly recommend BPCP to any family looking for a loving and supportive preschool for their child.

We love this school and highly recommend!

The teachers, support staff, and especially Luisa (director) is what makes them stand out from the rest of the private preschools in the area. If you are looking for a haven where you can drop your kids off and know that for the next few hours you have absolutely nothing to worry about-- your kids are happy, safe, and well taken care of - this is the place for you.

We already can't wait for our one-year-old to be old enough to join too! What makes this school so special isn't just the incredible teachers or the wonderful curriculum -- it's the community. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the love, warmth, and genuine care that the staff has for every child. After the Palisades fire, the school had to relocate campuses and what could have been such a difficult transition for the children, Laura and the staff handled with incredible grace. They created a seamless experience that preserved the routines, relationships, and sense of security our son so desperately needed during an incredibly uncertain time. That continuity and community meant more to our family than we can ever fully express. If we could keep our kids at MPS forever, we honestly would. We are endlessly grateful for the impact this school has had on our family over the past seven years. Thank you for loving our children so well and giving them such a joyful, nurturing foundation. We recommend MPS with our whole hearts!!!

I would have loved to have sent my child here as I really liked the vibe I got, the staff I met and…read morethe curriculum, but even with what little tuition assistance is available, it's still way out of financial reach for non wealthy parents. I'm a single parent, an essential "blue collar" worker, and I cannot even afford to buy a 1b1b in my own city let alone have my child receive a fulltime Jewish education. Additionally they here really tone deaf things on their website imo (I hope the staff sees my review and realizes I don't mean any bad intent). It says "tuition made affordable". Elementary school tuition is just under $33,000 and that does not include a required temple membership or any of the other fees. They also have listed to "reach out to grandparents and other family members for additional assistance when appropriate". That really rubbed me the wrong way as to me it suggests to me that that I probably have family who could help me pay for it year after year. My advice to any parent or parents in my situation who aren't the stereotypical MOT living the good life in the 310, apply to every LAUSD school that you are interested in through school choice. While the schools you will likely want your child in will have a lottery with hundreds of families competing for spots, you have a chance of getting 1 of them as from what I understand from moms I know. I'm planning on doing this along with enrolling my child at a nearby synagogue for Hebrew School once a week and supplement this all with family events through Chabad and the Jewish Federation. It's not what I wanted ideal but I have limited options.
