St. Anthony Preschool is a CCLD-licensed Child Care Center located on Lomita St in El Segundo, operating year-round as part of the St. Anthony parish school campus. Serving children ages 4–13, the program maintains extended hours (7:30 AM–6:00 PM) suited to working families in the corporate area, and operates with a faith-based family environment featuring an active parent co-op participation model. Parent reviews highlight small class sizes and favorable teacher-to-student ratios, with a solid 3.8 rating across 38 GreatSchools reviews—among the more-reviewed early childhood programs in El Segundo. The center maintains an inclusive enrollment policy accepting children with special needs; prospective families should note, however, that Catholic faith-based programming and required parent co-op involvement may not align with all family circumstances, and that no infant or toddler care is available.
