Seal Beach Playgroup is consistently praised as an exceptional preschool that prioritizes community, play-based learning, and child development.

Children reportedly attend with enthusiasm and develop strong social, emotional, and academic skills.
We have absolutely loved our experience with Seal Beach Playgroup. From the moment we joined, it has felt like so much more than a preschool. It is a true community built on care, connection, and joy. The teachers create an environment where children feel safe, seen, and genuinely excited to learn. My son has loved his time with Miss Candace and as she transitions into retirement I am especially grateful for my little one to join next year with Miss Kate. She brings such a rare warmth, fun, and magic into the classroom. You can feel how much she loves what she does, and the kids absolutely adore her. Watching the way she connects with the children makes me so confident that my child will thrive under her care. Seal Beach Playgroup is a truly special place, and we feel so lucky to be part of it.
Miss Kate is wonderful with the students! She allows the kids to explore throughout the day. She is genuine and personal in her interactions with the kids, their siblings, and parents. Our family appreciates the co-op approach, where moms & dads are the teachers too! This interaction with other trusted grown-ups has helped grow the confidence of our 4 year old. We also greatly appreciate the attention to creative arts and interpersonal relationships. We look forward to sending our other two kids in the future!
If you’re looking for a preschool, I couldn’t think of a more incredible experience for your little one. The focus on developing our child’s social and other fundamental skills paired with play and creative ways to get your child engaged in and loving school is unmatched. Every day, my son looked forward to playgroup with joy and excitement. All of the well thought out field trips and outings are another huge plus. I also can’t say enough about the way Miss Candace brings families together to form a wonderful community. Of course you’ll have to put in a little extra effort helping out working in the classroom and with various tasks from time to time but the magical experience your kid gets out of it will pay dividends for the rest of their life. I highly recommend Seal Beach Playgroup!
None of my children have actually attended this playgroup but I want to share a story. I was here with my kids one day while the playgroup kids were outside enjoying the play equipment as well. I watched a three year old boy being *very* difficult, he was very upset and having a meltdown nearby. Soon I was watching one of the staff who works with this playgroup preschool handle this little boy with the most loving, gentle, knowledgeable, and kind care I've ever seen. This happened about a year ago but I was just thinking about that moment again and decided to come here to write this.
What a wonderful place to start a child's school career (currently have my 4th attending in fall 2024). This school is the best little preschool with a teacher who loves the children like her own. Not only does Ms. C care for each child but also helps each parent grow in their parenthood journey. The friendships that are made at this preschool run deep for both children and parents. Being a play-based preschool, children develop social, emotional and academic skills needed for entering elementary school. SBPG holds a special place in my heart and we are so grateful we stumbled upon this preschool.
