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.

Pre-K 2/3 Red Room | Ratio 22:2

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.

🎉✨ 6.58… AND WE’RE STILL CELEBRATING! ✨🎉
There are some moments as an educator that make you stop and say, “WOW. Look at what you’re doing.” And this is one of them. 🥹💚
Gabby & Shelby earned a 6.58 on their CLASS observation! 👏👏
That number represents so much more than a score. It represents the little moments that happen all day long — the conversations, the encouragement, the curiosity, the laughter, the questions, the patience, and the intentional ways they help their children learn and grow. 🌱🧠❤️
It represents teachers who aren’t just in the classroom… but are truly present WITH their children.
And at Fundamentals, that’s something worth celebrating! 🌈
Gabby & Shelby — we see your hard work, we see your dedication, and we see the impact you’re making.
⭐️ 6.58 is a BIG deal.
💚 YOU are a BIG deal.
🎉 And we are incredibly proud of you!
Keep shining, ladies! 🌟👏 ... See MoreSee Less

🎉🌈 WHAT DOES A 6.03 CLASS SCORE MEAN?🌈🎉
We are SO excited to celebrate Davionne & Makayla and their incredible 6.03 CLASS Observation Score! 💙💛
But what exactly is a CLASS observation? 👀
CLASS stands for Classroom Assessment Scoring System. It is a tool used to look at the quality of teacher-child interactions in the classroom. Rather than simply looking at what is happening in the classroom, CLASS focuses on how teachers interact with and support children throughout the day. 🧠❤️
Observers look at things such as:
✨ How teachers build positive relationships with children
✨ How they support children’s emotional needs
✨ How they engage children in learning
✨ How they encourage children to think, communicate, and problem-solve
✨ How intentionally teachers create meaningful learning experiences
And that 6.03?! 🤩👏
CLASS scores are measured on a 1–7 scale, so a 6.03 represents a very strong level of teacher-child interaction and intentional teaching. It reflects the thought, preparation, consistency, and genuine care that Davionne & Makayla bring into their classroom every day. 🌟
A great CLASS score isn’t just a number — it’s evidence of the meaningful connections and learning experiences happening between teachers and children every day. 🥹💕
We are incredibly proud of you, Davionne & Makayla! Your hard work matters, your interactions matter, and the impact you make on our children matters. 💙💛
WAY TO GO, LADIES! 🎉 6.03! ⭐️ ... See MoreSee Less

🎉🌟 A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO HANNAH & LORI! 🌟🎉
Today we are celebrating an incredible 6.42 CLASS Observation Score! 👏💙
But what does that number actually mean? 🤔
CLASS observations look at the quality of teacher-child interactions in the classroom — things like how teachers support children emotionally, engage them in learning, encourage thinking, ask meaningful questions, and create a positive learning environment. 🧠❤️
A 6.42 reflects an exceptionally strong level of classroom interaction and intentional teaching. It shows the dedication, preparation, and genuine love Hannah & Lori bring into their classroom every single day. 🥹👏
We are SO proud of these two! They continue to show what it looks like to create meaningful learning experiences and build strong relationships with our children. 💙🌈
