FAQs for finding preschools near you in Manhattan Beach, CA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Manhattan 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 Manhattan Beach, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Manhattan 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 Manhattan Beach, CA.

When looking for a preschool near you in Manhattan Beach, CA on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code.
