Carousel Preschool & Infant Center has been in operation since 1984 and provides early childhood education and care for the Los Angeles airport local community. Carousel serves children birth through 5 years old in a nurturing, stimulating, and family-centered environment, where the cultures and special needs of children and families are embraced and supported. Our school recognizes children’s needs to learn basic academic skills, explore the world around them, achieve independent living and thinking skills, enjoy the learning experience, and become responsible citizens in an ever-changing world.
Our School program provides:

Preschool Foreign Language Program
Carousel Preschool promotes the stimulation of young minds, to encourage creativity and to improve overall academic performance. To take advantage of young children’s natural capacity for learning, the curriculum of the 3 and 4 year old classes now includes foreign languages, specifically Mandarin and Spanish. We stimulate language immersion to enable students to learn the new language in much the same way they learned their primary language. The program includes age appropriate context, games, and relevant activities to help students enjoy their studies and remain highly motivated.
