Where Children Come First
Where Little Minds Blossom and Grow
At Southwood Pre-School, we've been nurturing young minds in the Torrance, CA since 1969. Our family-owned day care center isn't just a place for children to spend their days; it's a vibrant community where children aged 2-5 flourish. We've built our reputation on putting children first, blending time-honored traditions with modern educational approaches.
Our commitment to excellence hasn't gone unnoticed - we're proud to have been named L.A. Times Reader's Choice for the best of Southern California in 2011 and South Bay's favorite in 2021.
But awards aside, what really matters to us is the joy we see on our little ones' faces every day as they learn, play, and grow. Call us today to see how we can support your child's early education journey!
