The first thing we suggest is to pick a day camp for your preschool age child, NOT a sleepaway camp.  As I'm sure you'll agree, it's completely inappropriate for a preschool age child to leave home for several weeks to attend camp. Day camps are much more appropriate for this younger age group.

The next thing to note is you want to pick a camp that SPECIALIZES in serving pre-school age kids. ​

That's because these kinds of camps typically have more experience -- not mention particular expertise -- working with younger kids and making sure the kids have a fantastic first-time camp experience.

So What are Some of the Best Preschool Summer Camps in L.A. to Consider?

The big thing to remember when looking for the best preschool summer camp in Los Angeles is the importance of making sure your child has a good time and is well-supervised and cared for by camp counselors who have lots of experience running preschool summer camps.
