The school is closed for only 13 days per year. We admit students of any race, nationality or ethnic origin, and do not discriminate on the basis of religious beliefs. All families receive a high level of personal attention from our staff and management.

School Mission and Philosophy

The mission of our school is to provide high-quality child care for working parents in our community. Since 1993, Arcadia Episcopal Preschool has placed an emphasis on developing each child’s individual abilities. We provide a caring, emergent curriculum designed to meet the child’s cognitive, social-emotional, physical and spiritual needs in preparation for daily life and kindergarten.


The philosophy of the school is based on Erik Erickson’s stages of social-emotional development, Jean Piaget’s theories of how children think and learn, and sound principles of physical development. We believe that children learn through play to become enthusiastic and engaged learners.


Our preschool serves as an extension of the family’s child-rearing activity through the care and education of children. Fulfillment of this role requires meeting criteria far beyond the minimum mandated standards through state licensing requirements for health and safety.

Parent Involvement

Parent involvement helps with communication between home and school. We ask all families in the school to contribute five hours per calendar year.

We would be happy to offer prospective parents a tour on Zoom. If you would like to have an on-campus tour, you will need to call ahead of time for a tour.

In addition to having experience and a love for children, each teacher is knowledgeable in providing activities that produce efficient learners.   The teachers attend a yearly in-service training to keep them up to date on new discoveries in the field of early-childhood education. Some teachers are bilingual in German, and Indonesian.The staff is also required to meet standards set by California Licensing and requirements set by the Los Angeles Episcopal Diocese.
