Nutrition Program
At West Hollywood Preschool we provide free breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks. The food provided meets the guidelines of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) under the U.S Department of Agriculture.
Meals are served family style and are used as an opportunity for developing appropriate social behaviors, conversation skills, good nutrition habits, and ecological attitudes that discourage food waste.
Additionally, we work with parents to accommodate any nutritional or cultural needs of each child.
Statement of Purpose
Our West Hollywood Preschool was established in partnership between Pathways LA and the City of West Hollywood in 1991. Our program is committed to quality early care and education and helping each child develop to their full potential.
The early care and education program is based on children’s growth and developmental needs. To supplement the care provided within their family structure, the staff designs curriculum experiences that foster growth, learning and socialization opportunities.
“When it comes to childcare for my children, it’s best for them to not only be in a safe environment but in an environment where they are growing and becoming more verbal and more independent.”
Gabriela Flores, WHP ParentAbout Us
Pathways LA West Hollywood Preschool is located in the heart of Plummer Park at 7377 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90046. In partnership with The City of West Hollywood for over 25 years, the West Hollywood Preschool has prepared over 1,000 young scholars of diverse abilities and needs for academic success. The preschool targets low-income families with children ages 2½ to 5 years who live, work, and/or participate in a training or educational program within the City of West Hollywood. The goal of the West Hollywood Preschool is to ensure that families have access to excellent, inclusive child care and development programs so that their children can flourish in a healthy and simulating child care and early education setting.
Pathways LA’s Mission
Pathways LA strengthens low income and vulnerable working families, promotes high quality early care and education services for children of all abilities, develops knowledgeable early care providers and promotes economically resilient communities.
Our Philosophy
The West Hollywood Preschool views itself as a partner with parents in meeting the developmental needs of their children. To provide the children with an environment that is responsive, unique, and individual to their needs, we believe it is critical to build a bridge between school and home.
Our staff base their work on their knowledge of each child’s age and developmental level, his or her individual needs and interests, and the family’s social and cultural background.
We understand the importance of play in the lives of young children and therefore embrace a play-based curriculum. The curriculum builds upon the interests of children as they emerge. Teachers provide developmentally appropriate activities and materials that are relevant and meaningful that support children’s social, emotional, physical, language and cognitive development.
We strive to offer a program where children develop a healthy self-esteem, acquire positive communication skills, learn how to solve problems, make decisions that take into consideration their own needs as well as the needs of others, gain an appreciation for diversity and difference, and develop a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
