Pacific Prep School is a private school offering more than just an Early Education Program.We provide an environment built on genuine understanding and respect for young children.
Many programs follow a rigid, one-size-fits-all curriculum imposed upon them using "blind instruction." Our approach is centered on the individual needs of each child.
We have the expertise and resources to provide individualized learning experiences so you can be confident that your child is learning and growing at their own pace.
With our focus on nurturing your child's self-concept and fostering "School Readiness," we can ensure that every child receives the attention and care they deserve!
Pacific Prep School has 3 locations: Ladera Ranch, Laguna Niguel, and San Elijo Hills

School Notes
- Using a relevant, thematic curriculum with an individualized approach, we foster foundational skill development across all learning domains.
- Starting in Early Prep School (toddler-age program), your child experiences an intentionally prepared environment that facilitates learning through exploration, play, and teacher guided activities. Their experiences are designed to maximize learning in all areas of their development.
- As your child progresses, the environment takes on more structure as he/she moves into our Kinder-Prep Program at 3-years old and our Early Kindergarten {TK} Program at 4-years old.
- With our longitudinal and comprehensive Assessment process starting at the beginning of each new school year, we determine the individual needs and goals for each child.
- Our curriculum targets the following areas of foundational skill development: Social-Emotional, Small & Large Motor, Mathematics, Science, Engineering, Social-Studies, Language & Reading Readiness, Writing & Visual Perception, and Creative Expression.
