PARTNERSHIPS WITH LBUSD & CSULB
We are proud to collaborate with the Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD) and California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) to provide structured internship opportunities for high school and college students. These partnerships help future educators and professionals build essential skills while making a positive impact in our preschool community.
INFANT & TODDLER PROGRAM FIELDWORK
We welcome fieldwork students completing internships as part of their academic programs, especially those focusing on infant and toddler development.
