Firehouse Preschool (2025-26 Profile)

1923 Allen Ave
Altadena, CA 91001

At Firehouse Preschool we firmly believe that the first six years of our children's lives are the richest and most important.

These are the years that will decide what kind of man or woman that our child will grow to be.

Therefore every child should have the best education balanced with love, respect, discipline, and understanding.

We offer an educational program in the mornings with qualified, experienced teachers guiding your child as he or she progresses individually.

Your child will be learning at an age-appropriate level, their basic concepts, such as the alphabet, sounds, numbers, and all necessary pre-reading skills.

Computer instruction, dance, and gymnastics are also offered. The program is enhanced with outdoor playtime and learning, story times, music, videos, cooking, and field trips.

Our Kindergarten program has a full spectrum of content. This includes reading, phonics, social studies, math, science, Spanish, and art. Socialization and independence are also encouraged.
