This isn't one of those places where only moms are expected to show up. Dads are in the classroom, on the playground, helping with projects, and building real relationships with the kids and families. It's a community that truly values parents of all kinds. The school itself is incredible. It focuses on play-based learning, is nurturing, and full of heart. Our child is in the junior class this year, and we've been blown away by Miss Kate. She brings warmth, creativity, and a calm confidence that makes the kids feel safe and seen. The kids learn through play, nature, art, music, and community. It's the kind of place where your child's imagination is nurtured, their social-emotional skills are supported, and their joy is contagious. If you're looking for a preschool where your whole family can grow, connect, and be part of something special, Seal Beach Playgroup is it. We've made lifelong memories here and we're just getting started.

Much like the rest of the exceptional staff at LePort, they are consistently kind, calm, gentle, and loving--yet perfectly stern when necessary to maintain a safe, respectful environment for toddlers. In fact, every time I try to take my child home, he lingers around because he wants to stay longer to keep having fun with his teachers and friends! Ms. Patton goes above and beyond to make the afternoon experience special. She takes the extra steps to decorate their designated areas with beautiful crafts the children have made. Her creativity shines through in the activities she plans; she goes way beyond standard crayon coloring by introducing engaging sensory bins and incorporating practical life skills like cutting with scissors. I am always surprised and delighted by the unique projects my child brings home. I especially treasure the art pieces created with handprints and footprints. As a parent, those are the exact milestones I always want to document but never quite find the time to do myself, so receiving them is incredibly meaningful. We are so grateful to Ms. Patton and Ms. Butler for providing such a rich, joyful, and nurturing extension to the school day.

My son has been going to this school for 3 years, that is until we found out the truth about the…read moreplace we called home. My son has seen his friends get grabbed, physically removed for messing around, get hit (the teachers would defend the people hurting them), and racism. I've also spoken to some of the moms that have left recent reviews to get their feedback, and they told me their reviews were taken down by the school. When me and my husband looked at these reviews we have also noticed that a lot of the stuff stated in the reviews are still happening. When my son and his class went to the park, he saw the teacher yell a derogatory Asian slur at his old classmate, then when my son came home telling me the news, me and my husband were furious that a teacher at the school has taught my son discriminatory language. We were angry that we were paying over $1,000 in tuition per month for my son to learn hate before fractions. I'm about to list more situations in this review: 1. My son is more quiet and doesn't get in trouble at all, but he has watched his friends get grabbed, cussed at for telling the teacher to not touch them, the teacher started a dynamic which disrespects kids, and they're rude to their parents. 2. The teacher would talk about her husbands g-string, and would talk about sexual things that I don't want my son to hear. 3. The teacher would also take away my son's lunch if he had to re-do the work, and there was this one incident where he didn't listen to the teacher because he was starving and just started eating his lunch, then got kept from going to the park when the class was going, then for the rest of the day he was isolated in a classroom and made to think he was a bad person when really it's the school being cruel. 4. During games class, I find it unsafe for kids to play in an alleyway that has homeless people in it, and I also find it unsafe that they have to move every time a car comes by. 5. When me and my husband were on the fence questioning ourselves about if this is the right place for children, we sent our kid to the school the next morning with a tiny notebook and a pencil and we told our son to take notes of everything that everyone says and happens in those bad situations. When my son came home me and my husband took a look at the notebook, and me and my husband were pissed. From what the notebook said we were upset to learn that the teachers actually violently grabbed a kid that didn't do his work because he was thinking about stuff emotionally at his desk. 6. From everything that we have our son tell us all of these people there sound very unskilled, and should work with kids. Me and my husband admired the Waldorf scene of it being creative, hands on, and supportive but these teachers aren't supportive at all to certain kids who are different then what they like, me and my husband talked to the parents of the kids who have been violently punched or grabbed by teachers, or students. And these parents were very nice people, from this other review, I read all I have to say is you shouldn't learn about the school because it's a cult on my prospective, it's not inclusive if not, everyone is supported at the school then it's not supportive at all, the tuition is over $1000 for your kids to be wearing hate,and to be playing in a alleyway with shattered glass and homeless people. And I fully support all of these kids who have left the school because so many kids have left that they had to merge a few grades together because the parents weren't the same truth I have. and every time me and my husband would have meetings with these teachers. About how they would act with other kids. They would deflect it towards the kid who is actually getting bullied because they are different. the school has also let my son learn about the N-word, sexual jokes, sex, and racist jokes from other kids, This school dose not censor what the children talk about. What I have to say after my experience here is get your kid out before this school is a huge waste of money, and time. For all of the people reading this review get your kids out of there, or if you're learning about the school do not let your kid out there, and maple village if you respond to this review don't try to say none of this happened, because you guys know it did.
