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.

Our Priorities and Values:

  • Development of whole child—mind, body & spirit
  • Global and cross-cultural exposure
  • Healthy eating and living
  • Environmental responsibility
  • Educational pride
  • Developmentally appropriate practices
  • Child-centered offerings
  • Community responsibility
  • Parental support
