LEARN & PLAY

(On The Best Equipment In LA County)

They're here! Culver City Unified is proud to present the county's newest, safest, and absolute best playground equipment for all of our preschool and elementary students to enjoy. Thanks to our community, and the passage of the Measure CC Bond, we're able to provide students with opportunities to play and learn for years and years to come. As studies show that productive play can increase a child's cognitive skills, physical abilities, and help to develop vocabulary skills, we couldn't be more thrilled than to maximize this new equipment for teaching and learning opportunities galore!

Lin Howe Teachers Are Ready

That's Mrs. Mauge and her team of Lin Howe teachers having fun on their new playground equipment during teacher prep week last week. All of our teachers are super-excited about starting the year!

Thank You For Your Partnership

When our pre-schoolers spelled out THANK YOU at the end of last school year, they intended it for all the teachers and staff that helped them have meaningful experiences throughout the year. That's the same sentiment educators feel for their students' families: Thanks and Gratitude. The bottom line is, we can simply do so much more for our students as a result of our partnership. And this school year, we just wanted to start off by saying THANKS for sending us such well-prepared, loved, and eager students always ready to learn. Now that's what #CULVERPRIDE is all about.
