Beach Babies, LLC: Preschool Teacher

Our Company Beach Babies opened in 1991 as a small family child care home in Manhattan Beach.

What started in a small house with 4 infants has grown into 5 childcare centers throughout the South Bay, caring for over 600 children daily.

Beach Babies has grown into what it is today because of a simple philosophy: To give infants and children plenty of love and security so they will thrive.

Since 80% of a child’s development occurs by the age of three, what they learn from the very beginning will be with them for a lifetime.

It is our primary goal at Beach Babies to make it a great beginning.

The basis of our philosophy is love and respect for all children beginning with infancy.

We involve the children in activities relevant to them.

We help the children learn to find their own solutions and build security by teaching trust.

We encourage and nurture each child to grow socially, physically, cognitively, and emotionally.

In this loving environment, we know each child will gain confidence and self-respect as well as respect for others and the environment.

We practice our philosophy each day at Beach Babies which allows parents to feel secure in their choice of childcare providers.
