Based on Developmentally Appropriate Practices, our educational program starts in the infant room, is included with normal tuition for all children, and progresses with each child into our PreK 4 classroom. Our primary aim is to ensure that all children are ready for Kindergarten as defined by the standards set forth by the LA Dept. of Education.

Green & Brown Room | Ratio 11:1
All two year old classrooms are set up with unique learning centers that encourage children to be self-sufficient while fostering an understanding of basic concepts.
Pre-K 2/3 Red Room | Ratio 22:2
Pre-K 3 Blue Room | Ratio 23:2
All three year old classrooms are set up with unique learning centers that encourage children to be self-sufficient while fostering an understanding of basic concepts.
Yellow Room | Ratio 24:2

We allow for homework time when the children return to the center in the afternoons. Some families prefer children to get their energy out and save their homework for home. Other families have busy schedules and extracurricular activities and find it helpful for children to get a head start on their homework.
Learn MoreEach classroom is equipped with lots of games, activities, and free space for the kids to make independent decisions on what they want to play. We offer a range of outdoor activities and games to indoor crafts, art, and movies. Given the choice to make their own decision, children in this age group enjoy summer camps much more than traditional group care.

🎄💌 Spreading Christmas Cheer Across Generations 💌🎄
Our PreK-3 and PreK-4 friends had the sweetest opportunity to decorate Christmas cards for a local nursing home, and their hearts were just as busy as their hands. ❤️
Through this activity, our children learned about kindness, giving, and thinking of others—especially those who may need a little extra joy during the holiday season. Each card was filled with creativity, love, and genuine holiday cheer, reminding us that even the smallest hands can make a big difference.
We are so proud of our students for spreading smiles and showing what it truly means to give from the heart this Christmas. 🎅✨Making spirits bright at the nursing home!
Thank you Fundamentals Early Learning Center - Central for helping spread Christmas cheer! ... See MoreSee Less

❄️ Learning Through Play in Our Toddler Classroom! ☃️
Today our toddlers created adorable 3D snowmen by placing cotton balls onto a picture—and while it looked like simple fun, so much learning was happening!
This activity helped support:
✨ Fine motor skills as little hands picked up and placed the cotton balls
✨ Hand-eye coordination through careful placement
✨ Sensory exploration by feeling different textures
✨ Creativity & self-expression as each snowman became uniquely their own
✨ Focus and confidence as they worked to complete their masterpiece
Hands-on art experiences like this build important early skills while allowing toddlers to explore, create, and feel proud of what they accomplish. We love watching their learning come to life—one cotton ball at a time! 💙❄️ ... See MoreSee Less
