Welcome To The Plymouth School

The Plymouth School is a non-profit, charitable educational corporation licensed by the California Department of Social Services. We foster social-emotional development, encourage creative expression, and aim to ignite the spark of imagination in every child who walks through our doors. We encourage active learning in a nurturing and enriching environment, laying the foundation for your child’s lifelong love of learning. Our mission is to celebrate each child’s individuality and cultivate curious, confident, and well-rounded students prepared to thrive in the years ahead. Early childhood education is about imparting knowledge and fostering the essential skills and character traits that will empower your child to succeed.

Our pre-school program is tailored to meet the unique needs of young learners. We enroll approximately 40 children a year from two years up to five years. Students entering the two/three-year-old classroom must turn two years old before August 15th of the upcoming school year. Children are grouped according to age and individual needs. The Plymouth School is one of only a few Los Angeles pre-schools that offer various schedules. Parents may enroll their children for two, three, four, and five days per week. The Plymouth School offers a Morning Program from 8:45 AM to 11:45 AM and a Full Day Program from 8:45 AM to 4:00 PM.

The Plymouth School Program

Our dedicated staff, with their extensive training in early education, play a pivotal role in guiding children to grow and learn in developmentally appropriate ways, ensuring they reach their full potential. We provide a balanced blend of structured activities and free play, allowing children to explore, discover, and grow at their own pace in a creative environment geared to stimulate and develop their intellectual capacity and fulfill their drive to discover things about themselves and others. We invite learning through a variety of experiences that include active outdoor play, quiet time for reading, conversation, and sharing, and project-based learning through role-play and dramatic play, which teaches children to empathize with others, understand different perspectives, build confidence, creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Multi-media art activities allow the child to create and experiment. Music is vital to this creative experience, providing another outlet for children to express themselves through movement, rhythms, and song. Your child’s cognitive processes will be stimulated by language development activities, a wide variety of conceptual materials, and the continual opportunity to explore a rich environment that includes class pets to be cared for, learned from, and loved.

We believe that The Plymouth School enables children to build self-confidence and experience the joy of discovery as they explore their world through a day of play. As parents, educators, and caretakers, we must recognize the immense value of play and ensure that children have access to plenty of opportunities to learn through exploration, discovery, and fun. By nourishing a child’s natural curiosity and sense of wonder, we set them up for lifelong success. Play-based learning has been linked to improved academic performance, with studies demonstrating that children who are given ample play opportunities tend to excel in subjects like reading, math, and science. This is because play activates the brain in ways that support learning and information retention.
