A blend of Play and Nature-based education with Language Immersion
About Us
Where Great Minds are Born
At Cypress Early Explorers Preschool, our mission consists of providing a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe. Our school offers various activities that are specifically designed to encourage each child’s growth. Through cooperative play and creative activities, kids reach their social, emotional and physical milestones naturally and with ease.
We believe that children from a very young age are ready and capable of learning vast amounts of knowledge which will give them a foundation for success throughout their school years.
Language
When a child enters preschool, they enrich the language that they’ve already acquired. They are capable of using it intelligently with precision and beauty, slowly realizing its properties. They learn to write, starting with their senses (hearing and touching), and as a natural consequence, they learn to read. As an extension of language activities, children learn about geography, history, art and music. These areas help the child to know his/her surroundings and to realize the place the child occupies in this world. They teach him/her to respect and love for his/her environment, and they create a sense of solidarity with all humanity and his/her habitat.
Sensorial Exercises
Children at this age learn through senses more than through their intellect. The sensorial materials are tools for children to refine each of their senses. Each material isolates a specific quality: smell, size, weight, texture, flavor, color, etc. At this age, when children are “bombarded” with sensorial information, these materials allow them to find order and meaning to the world, raising his/her capacity of perception, favoring observation and a sense of admiration for everything that surrounds him/her.
Mathematics
Cypress Early Explorers Preschool helps the child to learn and understand mathematical concepts when working with concrete materials that lead him/her intuitively to abstract concepts. We offer him/her sensorial impressions of the numbers and set the foundations for algebra and geometry.
Practical Life
Practical life aims to teach our children the care of the person, of others and of the physical environment where they live in. These activities include tasks that are familiar to the child: washing, polishing, setting the table, arranging flowers, etc. Through these and other activities, children achieve coordination and control of movement and exploration of his/her surroundings. Children learn to complete a task from beginning to end, they develop their will, self-discipline, the capacity of concentration and self-confidence.
Yelp Reviews

The yelp reviews here were really good, so it was my first choice when I moved back into the area. Ms Mandy is very easy to talk to and I... read more have no worries about coming to her regarding an issue or a question. When I did the walkthrough with her she told me that they use "the good parts of Montessouri" for their classroom. Ms Kaitlyn is personable and exudes warmth and magic and is my daughter's favorite. The kids always look like they are having a blast. The teachers all say hi to my daughter and welcome her warmly. The school focuses on being multicultural and inclusive and I value that highly. Their play yard is amazing with lots of grass and a couple large trees, pretend cars, tricycles, a garden, a large sandpit and a play set.
9/30/2024We have been at CEEP since September of 23 and we couldn't be happier with this school. From the staff to the curriculum to the extra curricular activities CEEP... read more goes above and beyond. Our daughter has learned so many new skills and can't wait to come hone and share the letters she learned or all the colors in Spanish. The teachers are top notch and truly care about the "whole" student. Ms Mandy the director treats each student as her own. I will always reccomend this preschool and we know when our daughter starts Kinder next year she will be prepared both academically and emotionally. Also the winter and spring recitals can't be beat!
9/22/2024My wife and I toured quite a few preschools in Cypress, Los Alamitos and Buena Park. We decided to send our son to Cypress Early Explorers and we couldn't... read more be happier with our decision! The teachers and staff are wonderful. They really understand that starting school is a huge adjustment for children as well as parents. Its hard leaving your child under the care of someone you dont really know. They use the BrightWheel app to keep us updated on how he is doing as well for payments, checking him in and out...its nice to have it all in one place. If you are on the search for a preschool, give them a call and schedule a tour!
7/31/2024My son has been going to Cypress Early Explorers for almost 3 weeks now and while it has taken some adjusting, he is enjoying his time here. The entire... read more staff is friendly and helpful. Ms. Mandy is supportive and understanding of all the emotions involved when thrusting your child into a new environment. My son has been more talkative, engaging and happy since attending Cypress Early Explorers.
The biggest challenge for us has been having to pack lunches as it is not provided by the school but we are working on getting more creative with meal planning.
CEEP is a great foundation to Pre-K and I am grateful to everyone that has and will play a pivotal role in my son's early education/development.

My 2.5 year old has only been going here for about a month, but I can already say this school is a million times better than my daughter's previous daycare... read more down the street. We toured many schools in the area and decided this one aligns with our values. Ms. Mandy and Ms. Eliana are amazing, but really every single staff member I have encountered is super sweet and helpful. The staff know the students and is aware of what is going on. They use Brightwheel(App) for check-in/out, payments, and communications so it is all in one place which is nice and convenient. It is hard leaving your child in someone else's care for the day, but it is a great feeling when you trust the care and staff. Thank you!
7/23/2024Exceptional preschool experience! From the nurturing environment to the engaging activities, they are tailored for little learners. The caring staff fosters creativity, curiosity, and confidence in each child, making it... read more a delightful place for early education. Highly recommend.
4/25/2024Love everything about this school from the staff to their set up and curriculum! This is home away from home we are truly gratefully and would highly recommend!
11/27/2023Our son has a few special needs and we have always felt welcomed and he loves this school. From the first time we toured this school we felt the... read more difference and he loves coming to school every day. We even tried to put him into a regular TK class but decided it was better to bring him here where the class size was smaller and he was happiest. thank you for taking great care of our boy.

By far one of the best daycares I have taken my daughter to. The communication between staff to the parents is amazing. They are well organized and the staff is... read more super friendly and you can tell that they truly care about the children they're taking care of I had to move out of state and had to withdraw from the school, but I wish every daycare was like this one because a good daycare is hard to find.
10/16/2023Our daughter has been attending Cypress Early Explorers Preschool for three months and she really enjoys going to school. On a typical day our daughter is excited about going to... read more school and will ask to go to school when she wakes up. She's had two great teachers so far, Ms. Lisa and Ms. Gloria. She can now spell her name as well as September and she knows her days of the week in the short time she's been attending. Our overall experience has been fantastic with Ms. Mandy, she's very organized and treats every kid like they were her own. We're confident Cypress Early Explorers Preschool is the best preschool option for us.
10/10/2023Looking at schools for your child can be stressful and overwhelming, but Mandy and all the teachers here are so welcoming and it made our decision to put our son... read more here easy! He is so happy to be at this school and loves going every day!
10/04/2023We brought our daughter to this school after her previous daycare was suddenly closed, and this school is beyond amazing! The value and quality for the low price they offer... read more is astonishing! All of the teachers and staff are friendly, and the director Miss Mandy is a true gem! She's so nice and patient (and funny too!). I highly recommend this preschool.

My previous review was for Cypress Learning Tree, now called Cypress Early Explorers. As a parent who fell in love with the "old school/traditional" feel, I was pretty nervous about... read more the construction and changes that would be taking place. I was blown away by how fast and smooth the transition was and the new classrooms are beautiful! Not only did the school get a facelift, but they also updated everything including utilizing easy to use technology to sign in and out, message faculty and staff and receive photos throughout the day.
There have been a few new people but they fit right in and also truly care about each child. I now have my two oldest boys attending school together and couldn't be happier. I tell people that they are blossoming and that is an understatement. Cypress Early Explorers was pivotal in potty training for both of them and were so helpful throughout the process. My boys have not only learned a ton so far but they are confident, are practicing great manners, are making friends and literally don't want to come home.
The expense is worth it. I know my boys are safe, growing, happy and loved. That makes me feel so much better (mom guilt is real). If you're looking for part time or full time preschool for your child, check them out!!
10/04/2023Our son has been attending Cypress Early Explorers (formerly Cypress Learning Tree) for a year now and we're so grateful for the entire staff. Everyone is very welcoming and attentive... read more to all the children. Our son has a couple food-related allergies (peanut and dairy) and they do their best to accommodate.
Over the past few months, they have renovated the classrooms and made some improvements to the large play yard. There is also a centralized app (Brightwheel) where parents receive important updates, make payments, receive photo updates, and check-in/out their child/children and I have not run into any issues so far.
Parking can be a bit busy on random occasions but they have enforced a new rule that prevents cars from blocking the main driveway and there's plenty of street parking if the actual spots are taken. We're lucky enough to walk to CEEP on occasion but when we do drive, there's almost always parking available for a quick pick up or drop off.
Lastly, the curriculum and schedules are very well-balanced and our son always comes home sharing exciting updates about what he learned, what he saw, and/or what kinds of arts and crafts he worked on. I could keep going but I'll end this review by highlighting the excellent operation here and how happy my child (and my wife and I) feel about Cypress Early Explorers Preschool.
7/25/2023I like the school, it's clean with a big outdoor area for kids, my daughter becomes so helpful and affect her in a good way, staff are so friendly and... read more nice, they do some activities from Montessori too, i only wish that they have a group or facebook page that shares pictures of activities that students do together but overall my daughter is so happy to go there.
6/26/2023I toured a few preschools before I decided to enroll my son here. From the beginning, Miss Mandy was so welcoming and loving. The program is the perfect mix of... read more curriculum and outdoor play time. My son started January 2023, right when the new owners took over. Since then, the entire school has had some major updates! New floors, desks, equipment, fresh paint. It looks brand new. They also use the Brightwheels app to check in, pay bills, messaging and photos! My son loves coming to school here. The teachers and staff are wonderful. I highly recommend this preschool.
