About the Program:
World City Center is a Preschool located in the West Adams area of Los Angeles, California. We offer a unique approach to learning and enrichment that addresses the whole child and is based on principals of educational excellence and cross-cultural exploration.
The model consists of a two part offering;
- a high quality preschool for ages 2 to 5 years old that employs the best methodologies for play-based constructivist learning in a dual language immersion environment
- a robust enrichment education offering that is based in the arts and caters to children of all ages
We follow a 90/10 Spanish immersion model where 90% of the time our teachers are speaking to the children in the target language, and 10% of the time they support with English as needed.
All of our curriculum is child-led and play-based which means that children learn in hands-on ways and by doing.
What sets us apart:
- Dual-language immersion environment
- Constructivist curriculum and play based learning methodology
- Commitment to incorporating art, music and movement as a major part of the curriculum
- Outdoor classroom with vegetable garden, that our children plant, harvest and learn in
- Robust enrichment offerings that service the family across the ages – from an active art atelier, to movement and music classes, tutoring services, parenting classes and more.

- Development of whole child—mind, body & spirit
- Global and cross-cultural exposure
- Healthy eating and living
- Environmental responsibility
- Educational pride
- Developmentally appropriate practices
