My son's preschool here in Laguna Beach was founded in 1968 by a German woman named Anneliese Schimmelpfennig. Her belief is that all children are capable learners who need to be challenged by their school to learn-and to be confident enough to take risks. My wife and I resonate with the school's goal to bring out the very special talents of each child and to allow him or her to realize their highest potential. We also like how they embrace international language and culture. Stopped by the school's annual Oktoberfest celebration over the weekend.
