About this preschool

Harry Pregerson Child Care Center is a GSA-licensed center located in the Roybal Federal building in downtown Los Angeles that serves infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children. The center is NAEYC accredited and follows an emergent curriculum approach based on children's interests and developmental needs.

Philosophy
Relationships are the foundation for collaboration and community. Play is the context in which children learn and develop with support from attentive educators. The center practices anti-bias education to support all dimensions of human differences including culture, race, language, ability, learning styles, ethnicity, family structure, religion, sexual orientation, gender, age, and socioeconomic differences. Emergent curriculum allows educators to respond to children's interests in developmentally appropriate ways.
