Sand Tots in Redondo Beach, Los Angeles County, United States | School

Welcome to Sand Tots, Nursery School, Redondo Beach, United States. Sand Tots Parent Participation Nursery School is a non-profit, parent operated, co-operative preSchool serving the South Bay beach cities in Los Angeles including Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and Torrance. Founded in 1972, we are a preSchool of approximately 100 families dedicated to being a part of the early education of our children, working together to facilitate their development.
Our Classes. Sand Tots offers classes for children age two through four. For eligibility, children must reach the age of two prior to September 30th in their enrollment year. Toilet training is not required.
Our Philosophy. Sand Tots' core philosophy is to provide a nurturing atmosphere where the emphasis is on creativity and problem solving, rather than regimentation and neatness, in order to foster confidence and provide rewarding experiences. We believe this creates a positive attitude toward learning, which in turn leads to success in the School age years.
Participation. As a co-op preSchool, each family's participation is integral to the operation of Sand Tots. From working in the classroom to attending class meetings, or volunteering for support roles that are guided by Sand Tots' director and staff, Sand Tots depends on parent involvement for its success.
It's preSchool. We believe kids need time to be kids. You won't find any blackboards here. During a child's early years, there is a greater awareness of the world around them than any other time in their life. This is a time when young children begin to explore and experience their environment. Sand Tots' philosophy centers on the concept that kids learn through spontaneous play and from being exposed to various creative and manipulative materials as well as new experiences.
