A special elementary play group is also available for children ages five through 11. The group is supervised in a playground setting, with arts and crafts projects and snacks. The group is set up to allow gender non-conforming and transgender children explore and play freely with each other; the group does not explicitly discuss gender issues.

It works closely with the Los Angeles Unified School District as they implement a range of age-appropriate curricula.
