We've thoroughly appreciated the ability to drop our children off at The Academy at Manhattan Beach: A Bright Horizons Preschool through the back-up care program.

Mariel Chiang · 5/5 on Google · 4 months agoThe Academy at Manhattan Beach has been such a wonderful option for back up care for us when our daughter's school is closed. The teaching staff has been really great with her, and both Sylvia and Diana (who run the place) are just so helpful. We will definitely miss this place being an option for backup care when our daughter ages out of it.
