Malibu Under The Oaks Preschool

Malibu Under The Oaks Preschool is an early childhood center offering preschool, transitional kindergarten, parent-child classes, and after-school programs in a nature-based setting. The school emphasizes learning through sensory exploration, natural materials, and a consistent daily rhythm with indoor and outdoor activities.

Philosophy

Children learn from the inside out using their senses, through doing, feeling and experiencing the natural world. Learning takes place through imitation and example rather than instruction. The school models a sense of wonder and provides opportunities for curiosity, exploration, and collaboration with peers, focusing first on social skills that branch out to creation and learning.
