A philosophy of fun and exploration.

Little Village Nursery School is a cooperative, play-based preschool in Los Angeles serving children from 12 months through 5.5 years. Located on Pico Boulevard in West LA, our nonprofit co-op has been welcoming families since 1947, building a tight-knit community of children, parents, and longtime teachers.

We believe young children learn best through play, and parents grow best through community. That combination — a thoughtfully prepared environment, experienced educators, and active parent participation — has made Little Village one of the most beloved preschools in Los Angeles for 80 years.
