Christopher Robin Preschool, Los Angeles

Christopher Robin Preschool Christopher Robin has been a family run school for three generations. Our campus is centrally located in the heart of Los Angeles, at the edge of West Hollywood. We have approximately eighty students attending our school ages two through six. Christopher Robin is a progressive, play-based school that nurtures the whole child. With roots in social constructivism and the Reggio Emilia approach, we emphasize creative learning through play. We believe that true knowledge is discovered as children actively engage in meaningful explorations and investigations with their peers. These interactions allow children to make connections, solve problems, and develop socially and emotionally. As children cultivate important social relationships, they develop a strong sense of self. Christopher Robin’s inquiry-based educational approach has roots in social constructivism and the idea that knowledge is gained through experience. As such, our school is play-based and our curriculum is driven by the children’s interests within a structured, routinized environment to ensure that the children feel safe and comfortable taking risks essential to fostering deep learning. We believe each child is unique, capable and autonomous. This foundation of respect and understanding is an important starting point for all learning experiences. We are inspired by the schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy and our teachers view themselves as collaborators, encouraging problem solving and connection among the children. The community and school environment are additional “teachers,” supporting our educational values. We regularly document the children’s ideas and activities to use in curriculum planning and for meaningful reflection by teachers, parents, and the children themselves. Christopher Robin Preschool is a licensed child care center in Los Angeles, CA with the license issued by the L. A. Daycare-No. We are a small center. Please email us for more information.
