About this preschool

LASC-CDC provides early education services for children 12 months to 4 years of age, established to serve student-parents attending Los Angeles Southwest College. The center offers subsidized and fee-based enrollment with free meals through the Child and Adult Food Program.

Philosophy
Young children learn best through developmentally appropriate experiences when children are active participants in their own learning, positive relationships are built and maintained, adults understand relationships are essential to the child's learning experience, each child is allowed to bring and display their own special uniqueness, and learning experiences are meaningful and relevant to the child's life. Quality early education is the foundation that prepares children for lifelong learning in an environment which promotes self-expression, creativity and supports the development of self-control and mutual respect.
