Welcome to the Learning Avenues Child Care Centers website.

Learning Avenues (formerly East Vancouver Child Care Center) provides a warm and safe environmet for children age 4 weeks through age twelve. The center was founded in 1969 as a result of a need for childcare for low income families in the heights area. LACCC has kept that same purpose to provide caring, developmental childcare to families for a cost based on their ability to pay. We have had several families come through our programs and now grown, come back to bring their families.

LACCC is a non-profit agency governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.

• We believe that our primary task is to enhance, support, and strengthen a child’s self-esteem.
• We believe that children learn by doing – through play.
• We provide a safe and healthy environment, which instills a sense of security.
• We help children develop personal self-control, independence, and the ability to make choices.
• We encourage a sense of cooperative empathy and respect for all children and adults without regard to race, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation or national origin.
• We implement new experiences in our curriculum to develop creativity and awareness of the environment, arts, and cultures.  We also include experiences to develop social, emotional, physical, and intellectual skills.
• We recognize that each child is an individual and present a variety of activities and flexibility in responses to meet varying needs of individual children.
• We support children’s natural love of learning and build upon the cognitive skills that are introduced through play activities.  Activities vary from simple to the complex in order to provide both successes and challenge.
• We include several approaches to guidance including restructuring of the environment, redirection, positive reinforcement, logical consequences, and “cool off” time.
• We acknowledge the parent as the primary educator of the child and work toward the enhancement of the parental goals.
• We encourage parent involvement.
