Kid Works Children’s Center is a play-based and developmental preschool serving children who are 3 - 5 years old and who are potty trained. *** We have 2 programs: Full-Day and Half-Day *** Full-Day Hours: 8 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday 8 AM - 12:30 PM, Last Friday of the month *** Half-Day Hours: 8 AM - 12:30 PM, Monday to Friday *** Weekly yoga & mindfulness enrichment is included in the monthly tuition. For an additional fee, we also offer an afternoon Spanish Immersion enrichment for children who are 4 - 6 years old. *** Early childhood is such a brief time in one’s life, and research and experience tell us that young children learn best through exploratory hands-on experiences, rather than through worksheets and the rote memorization of facts. Our teaching practices support the needs of Generation Alpha children and the fast changing and unpredictable world that they are growing up in. We follow tenets of different pedagogies to create our own brand of child-centered care and education. We value community-based and constructivist pedagogies that nurture the whole child (Reggio, Montessori, Waldorf) and we also have an amazing outdoor classroom and take full advantage of being outdoors to play and connect with nature (nature-based education). Teachers at Kid Works see themselves as partners for the children and parents, and in partnership we can better support the growth and development of your little one. Kid Works is a dream for young children everywhere!

Lindsy M. says "Kidworks Childcare Center has been the absolute best preschool center for our daughter (attending from age 3-5). So much so that we already have our...

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Long Beach, CA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Long Beach, CA. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Long Beach, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Long Beach, CA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Long Beach, CA.

When looking for a preschool near you in Long Beach, CA on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
