About Casa Euclid
A community-rooted preschool where children grow through curiosity, play, and wonder.
Our Story
Our Story
Casa Euclid was founded on a simple belief: that children are capable, curious, and deeply deserving of an environment that honors who they are. We opened our doors in Long Beach with a vision of a preschool that felt less like an institution and more like a second home — warm, alive, and rooted in community.
Our name reflects our neighborhood roots. We are a casa — a house, a home — for the families of Euclid and beyond. Every decision we make, from the materials in our classrooms to the rhythm of our days, is guided by our commitment to the whole child: their intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development.
What We Believe
Children Lead
We follow the child's curiosity. Our emergent curriculum is shaped by what children are drawn to, wonder about, and want to explore.
Community Matters
We are a neighborhood school. We know our families, we know our community, and we believe that belonging is foundational to learning.
Play is Learning
Play is not a break from learning — it is the primary vehicle for it. We protect and celebrate deep, uninterrupted play every day.
Nature Nourishes
Time outdoors, in the garden, and with natural materials is woven into every day. Children thrive when connected to the living world.
Our Teachers
Our educators are experienced, deeply caring, and committed to child-led learning.
