Free To Be Me Preschool in Mar Vista Los Angeles

At FTBM preschool, each child is embraced as a unique individual, cared for and supported with the utmost respect and sensitivity. With a student: teacher ratio of 4.5:1, the children at FTBM are surrounded by wonderful, observant teachers who listen to and appreciate them.



Our school is play-based, and most of our day is spent outdoors. Shaded by fruit trees, the children freely choose where they play. Each area is designed to foster creativity, imagination and problem solving. The children move at their own pace, from painting, to building in the sand pit, to jumping in the pillow room. All of their play is valued and acknowledged.


Our goals at Free to Be Me are for children to leave us with a true sense of themselves, high self-esteem, conflict resolution skills, and most importantly, strong communication skills—providing them with the tools they will need in kindergarten and beyond.
