About the Center

The Fullerton College Center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children  and falls under the Social Science Division within the college. Our center provides licensed, developmentally appropriate, skilled early education and care for children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 5 1/2 years. The teacher-child ratio is 1:8.

The center serves families without regards to sex, race, religion, ethnicity, sexual preference, or physical handicap. The program refrains from any instruction that is religiously based. Our services are designed to meet each child's developmental needs within the confines of the State Department of Education of Social Services Title 22 regulations.

Our Philosophy

Our center adheres to a developmental approach to educating young children. The program emphasizes all areas of a child's growth and development i.e. social/emotional, cognitive, creative, and physical growth. Part of our program's philosophy is that children learn best through an environment, which allows them to have hands-on experiences. Our curriculum and programming is based on the interests and needs of each individual.
