Occidental College Child Care Center is a center-based child care and early education facility serving the students and families of Los Angeles! As a center, Occidental College Child Care Center provides a school-like learning and enrichment environment that gives students a taste of what they’ll experience at more formal school in the years to come. Students at Occidental College Child Care Center are provided the socialization opportunities that come with peers of similar ages, the enrichment opportunities that come with a center’s resources and structure, and the community that comes with experienced staff. The full-time schedule at Occidental College Child Care Center is also here for you and your child. A full-time schedule gives students the full opportunity for social, behavioral, language and cognitive development. Students will play, interact and laugh with other students their own ages on a daily basis and get the benefits of a dedicated, structured environment. Parents get a real community for their children and the time away to work and take care of other tasks! Occidental College Child Care Center also offers an outdoors, nature-focused curriculum that emphasizes student connection with the natural world. Nature-focused curriculums seek to stimulate the imagination, wonder and delight that comes with being outdoors and playing in a multi-sensory environment. Playing outside is one of the great joys of childhood, and schools like Occidental College Child Care Center believe that nurturing that joy in a safe, supervised space promotes freedom of expression, independence and appropriate risk-taking that builds student confidence and well-being.
