About this preschool

River East School is a mixed-age, play-based, Reggio Emilia-inspired, and Constructivist early childcare center implementing emergent curriculum and emphasizing social-emotional development. Founded in 2017, the school provides a nurturing environment in Atwater Village and Silverlake that celebrates each child's individuality and fosters creative thinking within a community-focused model.

Philosophy
River East School's mission is to create an exceptional early childcare environment that focuses on social-emotional learning, art, health, wellness, nutrition, movement, creative exploration, and collaboration. The school believes education is a journey charted together where learning and development happen organically through a communal and symbiotic approach, with children's curiosities and observations guiding teachers in developing curriculum together. The school fosters respect and compassion for one another, the natural world, and all of its inhabitants as an underlying and guiding principle.
