The Community Center of La Canada Flintridge opened in 1951 after several years of planning.  The Community Center has served the needs of thousands of children and adults alike, offering a variety of enriching, recreational and educational opportunities for members of our community and surrounding areas.  The Preschool is an extension of the Community Center, offering a half-day program for children ages three through five.  The Preschool strives to provide a warm, safe and nurturing atmosphere with a wide variety of age appropriate activities designed to promote the social, intellectual, physical and emotional aspects of learning.  Our teachers work to create an environment for the children to learn through active exploration and discovery. We stretch their imaginations and extend their learning by stimulating their thinking.

Manipulative toys, creative experiences, group time, floor toys, blocks, paints, play dough, sand and water are offered on a daily basis.  Particular emphasis is placed on helping to develop social skills such as talking, helping, listening, sharing and negotiating.
