About The Children's Center

Overview

We offer part-day and full-day state preschool; part-day, full-day and extended day tuition-based preschool; before and after school extended care for children in Transitional Kindergarten through fifth grade who are enrolled at Merwin Elementary; and special education preschool programs for children with an active Individual Education Plan (IEP) who qualify for services offered by C-VCC and live in our district attendance zone or who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing and live within our SELPA boundaries. Children must be tested through Regional Center or the child’s local school district and placed through either an Infant Family Service Plan or Individual Education Plan into an appropriate classroom. All staff works together to meet the needs of all the children. Monthly events and other programs are celebrated regularly.

Center History

In 1979 the program was moved to the Vincent School site, in the summer of 2020 Covina-Valley Children's Center relocated to its current completely remodeled site. The program currently serves over 450 preschoolers and 72 elementary students from Merwin Elementary School.
