Piper Manhattan BeacH

Building brighter futures.
Encouraging playful minds.

Nestled back in a quiet little neighborhood in Manhattan Beach, Piper Preschool is close to nearly everything South Bay, including Redondo Beach, El Segundo, and Hermosa Beach. As with all Pipers, we blend the best of Reggio and Montessori with a warm, home-like environment, specifically designed to spark curiosity and inspire creativity. We’ve got a huge parking lot for drop-off and pick-up, a playfully interactive campus, loads of parent involvement, and a community rich with family traditions. We are your trusted partner to help your little ones on their first journey away from home. Come take a tour. See if we’re your people.

QUALITY YOU WANT. HOURS YOU NEED.

Piper Manhattan Beach
The Tucked Away Campus

Piper Manhattan Beach is our newest campus and fourth location, tucked into a quiet little neighborhood at 1340 11th Street. Once home to a beloved preschool of 50 years with Trinity Lutheran, the space has been completely reimagined… every inch was a decision, thoughtfully redesigned and updated to bring the signature Piper aesthetic to life.

When you arrive, you're greeted by our beautiful center courtyard, the heart of the campus, framed by classrooms that wrap around 3 sides. It’s a welcoming first glimpse into a space built for play, discovery, and community.

Piper MB features 8 meticulously designed classrooms for children from newborn through Pre-K/TK. Full-day programs begin at 18 months, with an environment tailored to feel warm, personal, and full of wonder.

Out back, the playground is taking shape into something truly special: a dynamic space with a climbing structure, garden, sandboxes, and soon-to-come highlights like a flowing creek and mini putting green (because, why not?).

As always, this campus offers a Parent Workspace lounge dedicated to adults and designed for parents who need a quiet spot to reset, work, or grab a moment of silence after drop-off.

Piper Manhattan Beach is the newest chapter in our story… and we can’t wait to share it with you. Come take a look and have a coffee. We think you’ll feel right at home.

Happy preschoolers playing at Piper Manhattan Beach

THE PIPER PHILOSOPHY

  • CHILDREN ARE CAPABLE COMPETENT CREATIVE LEARNERS

    It’s amazing what happens when you believe in a child. Implementing their ideas, listening to their thoughts, and problem-solving with (not for) them not only shows them the respect they deserve, but also unlocks a lasting confidence.

  • WE VALUE INQUIRY OVER INSTRUCTION

    Instead of telling children how to do something, guide them as they figure it out. They have the answer. And if they don’t, they build resiliency and the courage to keep trying. 

  • WE VALUE PROCESS OVER PRODUCT

    Saying “good job” or giving a “gold star” stops learning in its tracks. Instead, we motivate the love of learning by focusing on a child’s effort. The process is rewarded, not the product.

  • WE VALUE DELAYED GRATIFICATION

    Our children live in a world where things happen instantly. By incorporating project planning through age-level language, we practice patience, avoid distraction, and develop long-term thinking skills.

Welcome to Piper. This just might be the first step to your new set of friends and family. Take a look around… see if we’re your people.
