Options for Learning was founded in 1981 and has more than four decades of partnership, growth, and impact, including 45 years as a leader in helping families improve their lives by building a positive foundation for school, social, and life success. Its mission statement is that Options for Learning is a leader in preparing children and supporting families for life success through innovative, quality child development programs. The organization offers free or low-cost programs that are funded through federal, state, and local contracts so eligible families or those with special needs can access care, and it includes children with disabilities in all programs with dedicated support. Options for Learning provides continuity of care from infancy through eighth grade, with some programs providing support through age 21 for those with special needs.
Options for Learning offers personal guidance every step of the way, free child care referrals and family support resources, and free support regardless of income. It operates more than 65 locations and has almost 1,000 employees, making it one of San Gabriel Valley’s largest child care providers, and it serves nearly 11,000 children and their families annually. Each year, Options for Learning provides 3,338,793 meals and snacks in centers and through contracted home-based providers, 7,504 free child care referrals through its Resource and Referral Department, and 16,642 workshops, visits, and support calls for child care providers. It also supports early educators with professional development, training, nutrition program support and reimbursements, and business resources.
Options for Learning has partnered with families, providers, and communities to give every child a strong, joyful start and invests in the broader community by offering training, resources, and support to thousands of local child care providers and early educators. Options for Learning was honored as a Nonprofit of the Year and was recognized by Sen. Susan Rubio for its contributions to families in the community. One parent shared, “I didn’t know I qualified until someone told me. Now I can work and know my son is safe and happy.”
