Child Lane focuses on the whole child through care, education, nutrition, and family support with the goal that every child will be prepared to take full advantage of their early childhood education. Child Lane operates five child care centers in the Greater Long Beach area, provides support to a network of 45 licensed family child care providers, and monitors close to 525 family child care homes’ nutrition programs.
Impact
Child Lane opened one location in 1984, serving just a handful of children, and today serves close to 6,000 children a day through our Early Care and Education Program and Nutrition Program. The services we provide do more than temporarily address a need, but have contributed meaningfully to the lives of over 160,000 children and their families over the span of four decades.
How will donations be used?
For the last 40 years, Child Lane has adapted its services to best meet the needs of the local community. This year, we have set a goal to provide occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy resources to children in need of additional support. Donations from Long Beach Gives will be allotted to fund these new resources.
Child Lane provides care in an environment where play is valued and children are supported to be their full potential.
Vision: All children will have a happy, healthy childhood where their strengths and identities are protected and celebrated.
Purpose Statement: Equity, choice, respect and dignity are the cornerstone of a philosophy that values children and honors childhood.
