About Grace Iino Children's Center

Founded in 1978 as a consortium of child care agencies and providers who represented various child care agencies, private family home providers, parents and educators, the group met regularly to exchange information on funding and employment opportunities. The group also recruited and trained early childhood educators throughout Los Angeles. A large part of the activities involved legislative advocacy and education on issues affecting the early childhood education community.After establishing itself as a nonprofit corporation, one of the agency’s first business ventures was to operate a child care center at Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center. The hospital, located in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, is one of the largest and busiest medical centers in California. The center’s capacity to serve children and train early education teachers increased substantially over the years. In 1994, an infant component was added to better serve families. CDCLA has operated this program since it opened in 1988.Soon after opening the LAC+USC Children’s Center, CDCLA opened the Olive View/UCLA Infant/Child Development Center in Sylmar, California. This second contract with Los Angeles County allowed the agency to establish itself as a credible and consistent provider of preschool and early education services. CDCLA soon found itself operating other county-owned child care facilities. CDCLA was now a well-known and respected provider of quality child care among local public
