L.S. asks from Redondo Beach, CA on January 23, 2010
Non-violent Communication-based; Compassionate Communication-based, Positive ...
I am compiling a list of southern california preschool and child care providers who use an approach that is in line with non-violent communication, also called compassionate comunication; positive parenting, Bev Bos, Alfie Kohn, or simply a humanistic approach.
Please send me the names of places you know and would recommend.
Thanks!

Manhattan Beach Nursery School (http://www.manhattanbeachnurseryschool.org/) and parenting coach Melody Elder (http://awakenedheartparenting.com/). Both are amazing at positive parenting! Melody is the one who told me about Alfie Kohn. Truly wonderful!

I know my response is VERY late, but I'm catching up on emails I had languishing in my inbox & thought I'd go ahead & add a couple for your list in the hope that you are adding ongoingly.
Have you already heard of The Center for Non-Violent Communication in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles? I believe they have a pre-school. I know they offer parenting courses as well. The woman who is director there, Ruth Beaglehole, is wonderful. She came to speak at my daughter's preschool, which also should be on your list, La Playa in Culver City.
Here are links to both:

Great idea to do this & I wish you all the best with it!
