A Preschool Program Built on Decades of South Bay Experience

Carden Dominion School has served South Bay families for over 30 years. The program is designed for children from 6 weeks through kindergarten age, giving families in and around Torrance a single, trusted starting point for early childhood education. Whether your child is an infant taking first steps toward social discovery or a preschooler ready to build foundational academics, this program is structured to meet them where they are.

Torrance is one of the South Bay's most family-oriented cities, with neighborhoods like Hollywood Riviera, West Torrance, and Walteria home to thousands of young families searching for quality early education. Carden Dominion's Lomita campus sits just minutes from Torrance via Narbonne Avenue, making morning drop-off straightforward for parents commuting through the Harbor Gateway corridor or toward the 405 or Pacific Coast Highway.

The program is open to all children of the community, regardless of race, religion, or nationality.

What Does Carden Dominion's Preschool Program Include?

The program covers far more than basic childcare. The Carden curriculum is a comprehensive academic and developmental framework that sets it apart from standard daycare options.


Curriculum Subjects and Daily Learning

The Carden curriculum includes Foreign Language, Music, Art, Computers, Physical Education, and Science woven into each child's day. Language arts build sentence structure and comprehension from an early age. Math concepts are introduced progressively, and each age group builds directly on what came before, creating a true academic ladder rather than isolated lessons.



Whole-Child Development

The program guides children to make decisions, develop self-discipline, and learn to work both independently and alongside others. Daily schedules balance teacher-directed activities and student-initiated play, active periods and quiet time, and group and individual participation. Low adult-to-child ratios ensure every child receives personalized attention.
