Our Program promotes a positive approach to managing the behavior of all children. Discipline at the center has two primary goals. First, we strive to find a solution to the current situation. Second, we attempt to help the child process feelings, recognize consequences, explore alternative solutions and outcomes, and develop internal self-control. Children are learning every moment.
Children learn by doing and our philosophy supports each child in their own developmental process.
Our Center follows the criteria established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Children Learn best by hands-on experiences for children of all developmenta levels. The center is unique among child care centers due to the extremely low turnover rate of its teachers. All of the staff at the Children's Learning Center meet or exceed the credentialing requirements set by the State of California. The center was opened in 1986 as a project of the First United Methodist Church, Los Angeles.
