Thank you for considering World City Center for your child’s preschool education. We are passionate about providing a nurturing, play-based, dual-immersion environment to the children of our South LA community, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to share our innovative approach with you.
Our goal is to provide an environment where children can learn through play and develop a love of learning that will stay with them throughout their academic journey. We believe that the best way to achieve this is through a hands-on approach that allows children to discover, imagine and explore.
At World City Center, we facilitate all modes of learning through a variety of activities, including morning circles, cultural experiences, discussions, music, and movement. However, we believe that the most important aspect of preschool is play. Research has shown that children benefit the most from preschool education when they have the freedom to play and explore.
We see the benefits of play-based learning every day at World City Center. Our children demonstrate their learning through play, and we are constantly amazed by their creativity, curiosity, and joy. We are proud to provide an environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
We invite you to join us at World City Center and to experience our innovative approach to preschool education firsthand. We are confident that you will see the benefits of play-based learning and the impact it can have on your child’s future academic success.
Thank you for your interest in World City Center. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your child.

WCC is culturally sound, dynamic institution that is an absolute joy to take part in. My son leaps out of bed every day excited to go there. He comes home worn out, dirty from play with a curiosity inspired by a well-chosen curriculum and deeply caring and imaginative staff. We could not have dreamed up a better place for our son.
WCC is what all schools in Los Angeles hope to be. This is a true urban utopia. The community of families is as diverse as our city and is creating global citizens that will foster change and spread love. All of the teachers are committed to the ideals of the school and are loved by the children. I would recommend WCC to every family in LA!
World City Center is a gem in our community. This learning environment, created by two creative, educated and inspiring women, marries dual language learning with a constructivism model. With a commitment to art, music and movement and a delicious learning garden to explore and nurture, WCC is set apart from other schools in the city.
