Pinocchio Child Care Center, Inc. has proudly served families in Los Angeles for over 20 years. What began as a small neighborhood program has grown into two thriving locations: Dream Kiz Preschool and Pinocchio Child Care Center, where hundreds of children have taken their first steps toward a lifelong love of learning.
Pinocchio Child Care Center, Inc. is proud to be part of the California State Preschool Program (CSPP), a statewide program funded by the California Department of Education. CSPP offers subsidized full-day services for eligible children ages 2–5.
Based on the California Department of Education's income ceiling, eligibility is determined by family size and income. Children who are in foster care, experiencing homelessness, receiving child protective services, or who have exceptional needs are given the highest priority for enrollment. Families are encouraged to contact our office to review the current income eligibility charts and determine if they qualify.
Our curriculum is designed to help every child learn, play, and grow in a nurturing environment.
Our mission is to provide a safe and inspiring environment that empowers every child to grow with confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.
We focus on nurturing the whole child, academically, socially, and emotionally,
and physically, preparing them not just for kindergarten, but for life.
