School-Age (Kindergarten - 3rd Grade)

The La Habra Child Development Center incorporated the “School-Age Program” with the express purpose of providing quality daycare service to working parents.   The School-Age Program exists for the purpose of promoting, supporting and enhancing children’s development.   We collaborate with the La Habra City School District as they provide transportation to and from our sites.   The sites open at 6:15 a.m. and close promptly at 6:00 p.m.   The program runs year-round with “full-day” service during winter, spring, and summer as well as teacher in-service and minimum days.

State Preschool

A variety of experiences for the development of the child’s fullest potential are provided through this program, which has a strong commitment to the community.   This involvement has been at the core of the development of many social service programs offered through this agency.   Two sessions are offered for 3 1/2 hours each.   Some full-day spaces are available for families who meet eligibility requirements.   

La Habra Head Start

Head Start is a comprehensive child development program designed to meet the educational, emotional, social, health, and nutritional needs of children and families.   Our program consists of morning and afternoon classes.   Sessions are 3 1/2 hours, Monday through Friday, with the morning session from 9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., and the afternoon session is from 12:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

La Habra Child Development

The licensed family child care home offers a unique program for groups of eight to 14 children, ranging from a structured to a more informal environment.   Each home offers a balance of learning, nurturing and playing for children ranging from newborn through four years of age.

La Habra Preschool

The Pre-School Care Program, located at 1440 W. Whittier Blvd. in La Habra, exists for the purpose of promoting, supporting and enhancing children’s development.     Basic to the purpose is the assumption that all children are individuals of equal worth and value, who come to the program at their own developmental level and bring with them a unique mixture of family background, language, culture, personality and learning style.   We strive to serve all children and constantly seek ways to accommodate the unique needs of children with disabilities.
