DORDULIAN LAW GROUP FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST LITTLE OWL PRESCHOOL: LONG BEACH SCHOOL ACCUSED OF COVERING UP REPEATED SEXUAL ABUSE OF PRESCHOOLERS, RETALIATING AGAINST VICTIMS' FAMILIES

Press Conference with Victims' Families and Attorneys Set for Wednesday, January 21

LONG BEACH, Calif., Jan. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dordulian Law Group announced today the filing of a civil lawsuit [CASE NO: 26LBCV00124] against Little Owl Preschool in Long Beach, California, on behalf of four young victims and their families, alleging the prestigious private preschool failed to protect children from repeated sexual abuse, covered up the incidents, and then retaliated against victims' families who demanded accountability.

The lawsuit details allegations that multiple preschool-aged children – ranging from three to four years old – were repeatedly sexually assaulted by a classmate during the 2023-2024 academic year while teachers and staff failed to supervise or intervene despite the abuse occurring in classrooms and common areas of the school.

When parents confronted school leadership about the abuse, the Little Owl Preschool founder and owner allegedly dismissed the assaults as "normal" childhood development, then removed two of the victims from the school and threatened their families with legal action.

"Based on the pattern of abuse described by our clients and the school's failure to intervene, we believe other children may have been victimized," Dordulian said.
