As a dad, I can't say enough good things about Seal Beach Playgroup. From day one, I've felt not…read morejust welcomed, but celebrated as an involved parent, especially being a dad. This isn't one of those places where only moms are expected to show up. Dads are in the classroom, on the playground, helping with projects, and building real relationships with the kids and families. It's a community that truly values parents of all kinds. The school itself is incredible. It focuses on play-based learning, is nurturing, and full of heart. Our child is in the junior class this year, and we've been blown away by Miss Kate. She brings warmth, creativity, and a calm confidence that makes the kids feel safe and seen. The kids learn through play, nature, art, music, and community. It's the kind of place where your child's imagination is nurtured, their social-emotional skills are supported, and their joy is contagious. If you're looking for a preschool where your whole family can grow, connect, and be part of something special, Seal Beach Playgroup is it. We've made lifelong memories here and we're just getting started.

Our son recently started in Ms. Gallo's toddler class and is absolutely thriving! We were able to…read moredo a meet & greet before starting which helped him officially put a face to his teacher's name. Ms. Gallo was very informative during the meet & greet and helped eased a lot of my anxieties putting him into a new environment. When he officially started, Ms. Gallo would call and gave updates on how he was doing. Every day after class, she would let us know how his day went and continued to reassure that things would get better. Our son took to her right away. She has been warm, empathetic, and observant of his needs. Over the past couple months, our son has begun to really thrive! He is more confident in himself and very independent. He has taken the skills that he's learned in school and has started generalizing to home. He grabs his plate and utensils when it's meal time. He cleans up after himself when he's done eating. He uses the potty, cleans up, and washes his hands independently. His speech has grown exponentially. He went from speaking in simple sentences with improper grammar and pronoun usage to speaking in complex sentences. It is apparent that his language abilities are really being fostered in class. It is amazing how much he's grown in such a short amount of time. He talks about his friends daily and tells me how much he loves Ms. Gallo. We are so happy that Ms. Gallo is our first teacher and so excited to see how much he'll continue to grow.

We have truly loved our experience at LePort. Our son was in Ms. Munjee's toddler class, and he…read moreabsolutely flourished under her care. Through her guidance, we watched him grow into a confident, independent, and secure little boy. From the very beginning, it was clear that Ms. Munjee is an exceptionally kind, compassionate, and skilled educator. She communicated with us consistently and thoughtfully, always offering meaningful advice on how to create a rich, supportive environment for our son at home. I'll never forget the sweetness of watching him run up to her with a hug each morning--proof of the trust, comfort, and bond he developed with her. Ms. Munjee gives extraordinary attention to every child in her classroom. She takes the time to understand each student's unique interests and gently encourages them to explore those passions with curiosity and joy. She knew our son loved singing, reading, and ocean animals (especially whales) and she nurtured those interests daily. There is something truly special about the way Ms. Munjee greets each child who walks into her classroom. You can feel how deeply she cares for every student and how committed she is to helping them grow into thoughtful, capable individuals. Many mornings, I watched her patiently help a child self-soothe while also imparting invaluable lessons about boundaries, empathy, and respect. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Ms. Munjee as our son's teacher. We know that because of her care, encouragement, and teachings, he is well prepared to continue thriving in primary with his new teacher, Ms. Syed.

Over the past five years, our children have been met with love, patience, and a true dedication to their growth. The teachers and staff are among the most devoted educators I have ever seen. They don't just teach--they nurture, guide, and partner with parents in the most thoughtful way. Their holistic approach meets kids exactly where they are, helping them not only to learn but to love learning. What I appreciate most is how much the school truly cares about the kids as whole human beings. It's more than academics--it's about building confidence, fostering creativity, and cultivating empathy. If you are looking for a school where your child will be seen, valued, and supported in every way, Maple Village Waldorf School is a rare gem. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this community.
