History
Elin Vanderlip, the grande dame of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, informally started a preschool for her children along with a few neighborhood children, by offering up her family's beach cottage in Abalone Cove. Today, Beach School, as it is affectionately known, is a 501c3 non-profit school serving children from all sections of the Peninsula whose parents shared a common attitude regarding early childhood education.
