Schools in Long Beach, CA

“We absolutely love Bayshore Co-Op and recommend it to anyone looking for a parent participation school. The location is beautiful, the little ones get lots of outdoor play & Ms. Cori is wonderful with children. Our son was very hesitant to start preschool and Ms. Cori was so gracious with him, helping him find activities that he liked and made him feel at home. I am so grateful for this little school by the beach.”

“I went here from 1972 until 1981, from preschool to after school care. My 4 daughters went here as well as my nephews from 1984 to 1990 and from 1996 to 2008. I have such fond memories of all the teachers. I love them. The Ahrens family has created a safe environment. My children are all very successful and excelled in academics which I attribute to their time spent here in this loving but disciplined preschool. I only wish I lived closer so my grandchildren could get the same wonderful experience. I highly recommend this preschool. It is honestly the best in the area!! Hi Ms. Nancy!! And yes she’s the same preschool teacher I had!!”

“They took care of our son from 9 months old to 2 years old. He had been somewhat traumatized at his previous daycare (crying every day at drop off and pick up), and yet he loved coming here since day 1. Bright Futures had just opened the infant room and so our son was only the second baby there. It was maybe a leap of faith but we immediately felt we could trust them with our baby. The room is brand new, clean, and organized. Director Tiffany takes extra care of the infant room and our baby was surrounded by loving teachers all the time. We are switching now because we want to be closer to home and not take the 710 every day, but at the new daycare, they were surprised to notice how well-socialized and well-mannered our son was. Obviously, they did a great job of teaching him social skills. Our son especially enjoyed the front yard where he could ride the tricycle for hours, the water days in the summer when they play in the water, and sometimes they would let him hang with the older kids which is proven to be beneficial for development. They use an app to communicate with parents so we would get pictures of him and updates every day. Also, they provide meals which is a huge help for working parents. Thank you thank you for taking care of our baby!”

“We are so disappointed that we had to pull our kiddos out when we moved away!! Oakwood Academy is such a great school and I miss our kids going here dearly! The teachers are all great and very attentive and our kids learned SO much while they were there. Our barely 3YO was only able to spend about 6 months there before we left, but while we were there, she built so much confidence and learned so much from Ms. Tana, Ms. Jessie, and Ms. Noemi!Ms. Noemi, Ms. Jessie, and Ms. Rosa were my other kiddo's teachers and they're all so great! This school tries to get parents involved in various activities and our kids really enjoyed all the parties that the school threw. We have no complaints and would highly recommend this school to other families!”

“We LOVE Parkcrest!!! The teachers show such love and gentleness to my boy. Ms Jen and Ms Chelsey have been so wonderful and treat my son as if he were their own. My son loves going to school and has made so many sweet friends. We are so thankful we found Parkcrest Preschool!”

“Oh, what's not to like about the Alpert JCC. The pool and lifeguards make an afternoon magical. The facilities are clean and a sense of peace and calm happens when I enter. Thanks Alpert JCC for being the good part of my life and keeping me connected to others.”

All of the staff here truly care so much about all of the students they help and they all of an invested interest in the students.They are all so incredibly kind and helpful.They have affordable prices for your child.They are the reason I got through school.I highly recommend”

“Nice, safe, and friendly teachers.I am glad my son goes to this place.He is always happy. The fact that he likes this school, whenever he misses school, he says mummy I miss my friends, I miss teacher Jaqueline. I really appreciate everyone who take their time to keep our kids safe as they learn. Thank you so much and may God bless you.”

“My son started Wee Care at 13 months old; he is now almost 3 years old and will sadly be leaving Wee Care soon. He would have started Wee Care at an earlier age but there wasn't space available at the time. The previous daycare was terrible. The babies were all in one tight room, eating/pooping/sleeping in the same space, germs spread rampantly there! My infant son got sick so often, it was heartbreaking. Fortunately, Wee Care finally had space open for my son and we couldn't transfer fast enough. Wee Care is exponentially better. I love that they have dedicated and separate spaces for playing, eating, and sleeping for infants/young toddlers. My son thrived in Wee Care and was able to sleep much much longer than at the previous daycare. He ate well and slept well and enjoyed playing with his friends. The teacher to baby ratio is low and the tuition is very reasonable. The facility may seem dated, but it's very well-maintained and clean. All the teachers genuinely care for the kids. I would recommend Wee Care to any family and will be sending my second baby to Wee Care as well!”

“I appreciate this school and their staff. They take initiative & actual care when it comes to my kids. My oldest son has been here since kinder & has always strived for good & always been praised by each teacher. He feels that this school brings out the best in him and I do too.”

“My baby girls 1st year attending this school and we absolutely love it. The entire staff is excellent and treat the children like one of their own. My baby learned so much in 1st grade and is excited to see what 2nd grade has in store for her”

“Amidst the craziness of the Covid moment : whatta breath of fresh air. My experience with setting up, prepping for, and general anxiety has been overwhelming. Thank God for our city leaders instituting this process. This was way better/painless than I'd expected -- arrived 15min early. Personnel very helpful = process, smooth, quick, and results will be emailed in 2-3 days.”
