Letter from the Director

At Little Village Nursery School, we value parent involvement, community, social emotional support, and play-based learning. We know that the parenting journey and raising little humans truly takes a village! We look forward to partnering with you to support your child’s development in these fundamental early years.

We are proud of our rich 80 year history in Los Angeles! We have a highly qualified staff that plans emergent curriculum as well as hands-on learning activities that are infused with the early learning standards. Most notably, we take pride in strong teacher retention. We have teachers that have been with Little Village Nursery School from 15 to 44 years!

We would be honored to partner with you as you navigate this joyous journey as parents!
