Centro de Niños, Inc.
Stimulating the Imagination and Creativity in Children
We accept infants, toddlers and pre-school age children of the working poor in Los Angeles. The children in our program develop a sense of independence and self-esteem while they are learning in a safe and secure environment.  

Desired Results are documented.  They are defined as conditions of well-being for children and families.  The Desired Results system (DR system) implemented by the California Department of Education (CDE) is a comprehensive approach that facilitates the achievement of Desired Results for Children and Families.  The DR system includes six Desired Results:

DR 1:Children are personally and socially competent.
DR 2:Children are effective learners
DR 3:Children show physical and motor competence
DR 4:Children are safe and healthy
DR 5:Families support their child's learning and development
DR 6:Families achieve their goals

We provide:
