All programs – part or full day – are designed to meet the developmental needs of growing children, and provide school readiness, including development of English language skills for children with other home languages.

The ratio of adults to children is 1 to X for preschool and 1 to X for 2 year olds. 

Teachers hold Child Development Teacher Permits, and most have Bachelor’s degrees.  The additional staff  hold Associate or Assistant Teacher permits, or are enrolled in child development classes. Highest quality nutrition is provided at all meals, using fresh, natural, whole grain foods for all meals.

Alternative Payment
Xxxxxxxxxx Alternative Payment Program utilizes state and federal funds to provide parents with financial assistance for child care services. Eligibility for the Alternative Payment Program is determined by the guidelines set by the California Department of Education. Parents must meet income requirements and have a need for child care while they work, look for employment, attend training or participate in CalWORKs activities. Parents who are incapacitated, who have children at risk of abuse or neglect, or have children with special needs may also be eligible.

Our Child Care Eligibility Specialists assist families in identifying child care and other community resources that meet the specific needs of the child and family. Our staff and resources encompass a wide variety of cultural perspectives and language requirements of the families we serve.  Parents have the freedom to choose any public or private licensed, registered or exempt child care program in Los Angeles County.  Additional information about our Alternative Payment Program can be found by clicking here.

Provider Training
Xxxxxxxxxx staff coordinates with Early Childhood Educators to develop and provide opportunities for children to participate in developmentally appropriate early learning activities that support their cognitive, socio-emotional and physical growth while their parent/caregiver is participating the workshop session.   Workshop Facilitators engage the Early Educators by assisting in planning opportunities for parents and caregivers to interact with the children during the workshop series, model appropriate interactions, provide positive reinforcement to participants and build on “touch points” to promote the integration of information presented during the workshops.
