Early Learning
That Begins at 4 Months Old
Westminster School District's early learning programs start earlier than almost any other public district in Southern California. From infant care through Transitional Kindergarten, Land Early Learning Center offers a safe, nurturing environment where every child’s first academic experience is purposeful, joyful, and designed to last.
Flexible programs designed around the realities of family life.
Land Early Learning Center offers both part-day and full-day programs to meet a variety of family needs. Before- and after-school care extends the day in a purposeful, enriching environment — not just supervision, but structured learning that supports your child and your schedule.
Learning rooted in curiosity, independence, and belonging.
WSD’s early learning philosophy gives children the freedom to explore, initiate, and express themselves. Teachers build on each child’s interests and strengths, cultivating confidence, self-control, and a genuine love for learning from the very first day.
