YWCA Family Cooperative Preschool in Santa Monica, California offers a safe, nurturing, sensory-rich environment where parents share in their child’s first school experience outside of the home. Teachers, parents, and children can work, play, learn, and grow together as family and as a supportive community for each other. We believe that a creative, developmentally appropriate, child-directed learning environment, supported by family, can create a positive attitude towards future learning. Our program is child directed and play based with an emphasis on emergent curriculum. We believe that connecting with children allows us to learn what they are communicating through their behavior. Our role is to support their feelings and to help them gain tools to appropriately express themselves. Children free flow through our indoor and outdoor environments. Our 1 to 4 teacher to child ratio allows us to truly support each child’s emotional, physical and cognitive needs. "Building community while individually supporting the growing physical, social, emotional, and cognitive needs of children."

Montessori Discovery Garden is located in the Westwood area of Los Angeles, serving students ages 2 1/2 through 6 years old. Our school has AMI (Association Montessori International) trained teachers and a support staff of highly qualified specialists. Montessori is a unique and widely lauded educational method, created more than a century ago by an Italian physician and education visionary, Maria Montessori. The philosophy is built around the concepts of self-directed learning, mixed age level classrooms, collaboration, creativity and social responsibility. Montessori schools are found all over the world. In addition to the Montessori classroom activities our children also have enrichment classes available to them which include, music, art, yoga, Spanish, organic gardening and cooking. We are open year round, five days a week from 8am until 6pm. Children are served snacks twice a day, and organic milk at lunch, but bring their own lunches. We are so thrilled to watch the children grow, play and learn in our loving, nurturing and guiding hands. A free parenting consultation with Bonnie Hasse, M Ed., is available upon your visit.
