Sherman Oaks Lutheran Children's Center, Los Angeles

The SOLCC program is designed for the preschool child between the ages of 2 and 5 years, who will benefit from a nursery school experience. The Center is open from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Part time and full time programs are available. The Full day schedule encompasses the above hours and includes three snacks and an Enrichment Program. The ¾-day schedule begins at 7:00 a.m., ends at 3:30 p.m., and includes two snacks. The ½-day schedule begins at 8:30 a.m., ends at 1:00, and includes one snack. All schedules include lunchtime. Each schedule provides a developmentally appropriate curriculum that works with children to help them grow spiritually, mentally, emotionally and socially. This is achieved through both age appropriate curriculum and activities. All schedules include lunchtime; ¾ and full time schedules include nap time. The children are placed in small classroom groups by age. Each day includes indoor and outdoor times. Small groups enable the children to interact comfortably with the teacher and with the other children. Activities include story/center time, art time, music and movement, science, learning centers and Bible time. Children are introduced to pre-reading and pre-math cognitive skills as is age appropriate. We have two large outdoor areas with a variety of climbing structures for developing large muscle skills. Snacks are offered daily in the morning, afternoon and at the end of the day.
