About this preschool

California Ivy League Prep Academy is a preschool and infant center in Bakersfield serving children from six weeks to age twelve. The center emphasizes play-based, hands-on learning within a nurturing environment that supports whole-child development.

Philosophy
Children learn and develop best in an environment that allows for hands-on interactive activities. Play is a child's self-chosen way of interacting with the environment, materials, and adults to understand concepts.
