Recommendations for half day preschool in Whittier

Hello! I’m currently looking to enroll my 3 year old in a half day preschool program here in Whittier to help prepare him for TK next year. Our family doesn’t qualify for the Head Start program so we’re hoping to find something affordable for half day. We live near uptown Whittier. Any recommendations would help. Thank you!

Our son has been at Lad n Lassie near uptown since he was 2. They are truly amazing! His last day was Friday since he’s starting TK this week :)

I will say this, what I’ve heard about lad n lassie is that they don’t really know how to handle kiddos that don’t follow “norms”. They struggle with accepting all types of personalities and label kids. ):

But if your child is a rule follower, who doesn’t cause any trouble, it’s a great school with teachers who really care. Teachers are great. Office and admin are a little rude sometimes. But I guess everyone is allowed to have off days.

The Broadoaks School at Whittier College is great.

Whittier Friends is wonderful. They are right in uptown, and do as few as 2 half days a week if you want.

Hillcrest if you want to save some money. And it’s a good school

We enjoyed Shepherd of the hills in Whittier on Janine. They offer preschool from 9-12. (: honestly all the teachers there are so sweet

It's not in Whittier, but nearby, I've heard great things about La Habra Hills Presbyterian Preschool. Their program is 9-12 with opt-in enrichment classes until 1:30
