About K. Anthony Preschool
Legacy
K. Anthony's Pre-School was founded in 1969 and named after Keith Anthony, son of Mrs. Margaret Johnson and the late Mr. Brady Johnson.
Mr. & Mrs. Johnson recognized the need for a caring educational facility within the community and purchased an old fire station located at 8708 Crenshaw Blvd. After a few months of hard work, the doors to the first six enrollees were opened, and before long, the school's enrollment was at full capacity. The school expanded in 1975, when an old nightclub building was purchased and converted into K-Anthony's Elementary School.
Mr. Brady Johnson passed away in 2015, and the elementary school was sold in 2022. However, K-Anthony's Preschool continues to nurture and mold the minds of our youngest learners. Mr. Brady Johnson left his wife, Margaret, a legacy that continues the pursuit of excellence for students and families within and surrounding the city of Inglewood.
Vision
At K-Anthony Preschool, we believe a nurturing and and engaging school environment fosters children's natural curiosity and love of learning. Our motto, "Just as the twig is bent, so grows the tree. This motto metaphorically suggests that the child's mind is like a sapling that requires patient and constant nurturing for its proper growth.
We strive to provide students with the academic and social emotional skills needed for kindergarten readiness through the use of instructional experiences that are positive, creative, and equitable.
