Child Development Center
Abel B. Sykes Jr., Child Development Center, accepts applications for enrollment of children 12-48 months. If you are a Compton College student, you may be eligible for FREE or low-cost childcare.
Housed in a brand-new facility, this infant/toddler and preschool program offers excellent, affordable childcare, and a unique learning experience for the whole family. Children learn and grow while parents attend class and study. The education extends to college students studying early childhood education, as they apply classroom lessons to a preschool setting. Free or Low-enrollment fees are available to those who qualify.
The Child Development Center offers full and half day childcare services subsidized by the State Department of Education.
Spring 2021
The Compton College Child Development Center will open its doors on Monday, April 19, 2021. The reopening will occur in stages, with the first stage focused upon providing service on campus to the children of Compton College employees and students.
Students taking spring classes will have the opportunity to enroll their children at the CDC in order to gain the time needed to focus upon their own learning.
The Child Development Center provides childcare services Monday - Friday from 7:45 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Children 12-48 months are eligible for full/part-time childcare based on family income, family need and parent's school schedule.
The CDC will have two enrollment options: the traditional drop-off option and the virtual learning environment that has been established during the college's shift to alternative instruction methods.Virtual Parent Orientation for eligible parents will be April 12-15, 2021. Additional information will be provided during the enrollment process.
Individuals interested in enrolling their children should contact Dorothy Bush, Sr. Administrative Assistant at (310) 900-1600, Ext. 2902, dbush@compton.edu.
