Piper’s Winter Playdate & Holiday Boutique

Celebrate the magic of the holiday season with Piper Preschool at our Winter Playdate & Holiday Boutique. This festive, family-friendly event is open to Piper families and prospective parents, and completely free. What a perfect opportunity to enjoy a little holiday cheer with your little ones.

PLAY SHOP CONNECT

While the kids enjoy a fun-filled playdate, parents can browse the Holiday Boutique for hand-crafted gifts, seasonal finds, and unique treasures to make the holidays extra special.

Whether you're already a Piper parent or simply curious about what makes our school different, we'd love to have you. It's a great chance to meet other families, experience the Piper spirit firsthand, and make some happy holiday memories together.

Bring the kids, invite some friends, and join us for a little winter magic.

RSVP to Attend

NOVEMBER 16th - 10:30-11:15

COME PLAY
We’re opening our doors so you can see what Piper is all about. Whether you’re new to the preschool world, or you’re a bit of a seasoned expert, we’re here for it.

WHAT TO EXPECT
With some curiosity, creativity, and a dash of fun, your little one will get to explore different activity stations, or just belly-up to their favorite one the whole time. Whatever works.

We’ll wrap up our morning with a cozy winter-themed story with Miss Rachel. There may not be snow in Santa Monica, but we’ll have plenty of winter wonder to go around. So, bundle up your curiosity and come see if we’re your people.

NOTE
Class will be held in our outdoor playground. Maybe don’t dress the little ones in anything too fancy. They’ll be subject to a possible mess. Also, if you’re the type to jump in the fun, same goes for you.

Can’t wait to spend the morning with you.

Must RSVP to attend.

Piper Santa Monica
Where It All Began

Piper Santa Monica opened its doors in 2014 at 807 Arizona Avenue, right in the heart of downtown Santa Monica. Housed in a beautifully preserved architectural landmark, our campus blends historic charm with modern warmth… an ideal setting for children to learn, play, and grow.

Our school features 11 thoughtfully designed classrooms, serving children from newborn through Pre-K/TK. With drop-offs starting at 18 months, we offer programming in a cozy, home-like environment filled with rich colors, inviting décor, and music that flows through the hallways.

Outside, our expansive playground is a world of wonder: an active creek, climbing wall, wood shop, art studio, garden, performance stage, sandboxes, play structure, reading nook, and a sports yard designed for movement and imagination.

For our busy families, the third-floor Parent Workspace offers a quiet, adults-only area… perfect for dropping off your little one and heading upstairs to work without missing a beat. Need a place to chill? We’ve got you.

Come visit us. We’d love to show you what we’ve built and why Piper SM is such a special place to be.
