Our Programs

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.

Before & After Care

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.

Summer Camp

Each 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.

🌳❤️ Some of the best learning happens beyond the classroom walls.

Learning doesn't stop at a desk. From sensory play and creative projects to visits from community partners like the K-9 Unit and DEMCO's Safety Team, children experience learning in ways that spark curiosity and create lasting memories.

These everyday experiences help children grow academically, socially, emotionally, and creatively while discovering more about the world around them.

That's the Fundamentals experience.
