Our home, our heart
Individualized care in a real family setting
PreSchool Prep is a licensed in-home early learning center in Murrieta, California. We care for children from birth through thirteen years in small, mixed-aged groups, where everyone is known by name — and where families working nights, weekends, and long shifts can count on us.
Philosophy
Learning that follows the child
Children learn best through play, repetition, and warm relationships. Our educators observe what each child is drawn to and build the next invitation from there — a shelf of counting bears for one child, a nature journal for another, a quiet lap and a book for a third.
- Play-based, hands-on curriculum across six learning areas
- Mixed-age grouping so siblings stay together
- Contracted specialty educators for art, math, science, history, and movement
- Daily communication with parents about meals, naps, and milestones
