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.
