Edison Preschool plays a vital role in early bilingual development and provides a safe, nurturing, and culturally rich environment for our children. It strengthens family engagement, supports working families, and ensures continuity within the immersion pathway. We have witnessed firsthand how the preschool cultivates a love for language and culture in our young ones, fostering an inclusive and vibrant community.

As parents and guardians of students at Edison Language Academy, it is our collective plea to the school and district administration to ensure the preschool remains open for the 2026-27 school year. The current schedule, running until 2:30pm, is essential for aligning with family needs and supporting the holistic development of our children.

The preschool is more than just a learning center; it's a cornerstone of our community that prepares children academically, socially, and emotionally. Closing the preschool or reducing its hours would disrupt the education and well-being of many families who rely on this program.

We are deeply concerned about the potential loss of resources, staff, and the supportive environment the preschool currently provides. We urge Edison Language Academy and Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) to protect the preschool's future and include parents in any discussions affecting its continuity.

Join us in advocating for a thriving bilingual preschool that benefits everyone involved. Show your support by signing this petition to keep Edison Preschool open and operational for the 2026-27 school year.
