Did you know in 2017, UNITE-LA and Educare partners celebrated the groundbreaking of Educare Los Angeles at Long Beach? This state-of-the-art school serves as a regional hub for early learning professional development, demonstrating how programs can use evidence-based approaches to provide quality early childhood education for low-income families. A dual-language learning program serves as a model for other early childhood programs and connects to related programs in K-12 schools in the Long Beach Unified School District. As an Educare network school, Educare Los Angeles at Long Beach also helps drive change in early childhood policy and practices statewide to increase access to high-quality early education for all children.

Educare Los Angeles at Long Beach is the 22nd Educare school in the United States and serves children during their first five years to prepare them for success in school and life.

The school was formed in partnership with UNITE-LA, the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, Long Beach Unified School District, Long Beach Education Foundation, LA Partnership for Early Childhood Investment, The Advancement Project, Buffett Early Childhood Fund and Ounce of Prevention Fund.
