About Broadacres

In 1952, retired fireman and WWII Air Force Veteran William Stark Brown decided to open part of his beautiful 3 acres to love and nuture the children of the Palos Verdes area. Starting with small classses made up of 6 children, Broadacres quickly grew to hold 8, then 12 children. Today, the preschool holds two sessions with 24 children each. The preschool is a family institution, with Brown’s wife, Bettie, and her daughter Gayle owning and directing the school to this day. Along with a total of 7 staff members, Bettie and Gayle work hard every day to keep Mr. Brown’s vision living strong through the delicate care they provide to the children who attend. Our dedicated staff believes that each child grows and develops at his or her own level. We want to instill in each child a love for learning to set the stage for academic success in the years to come.

Broadacres is open to children from ages 2 1/2 to 5 years. School runs from 9 to 11:30 in the morning. A session for 3-year-olds is held Tuesday and Thursday mornings, while Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are reserved for the 4-year-old students. Parents may chose to enroll their children in either 2, 3, or 5 days of school. Children must be pottytrained upon starting school. For an interview and more information, please contact us.
