From pumpkin to plant! 🎃➡️🌱
Last week, our little gardeners got their hands dirty! Our children enjoyed a hands-on learning experience as they scooped out pumpkin seeds, planted them in the soil, and watered them with care. Now we're excited to watch nature work its magic and see what grows!

¡De la calabaza a la planta! 🎃➡️🌱
¡La semana pasada, nuestros pequeños jardineros se ensuciaron las manos! Nuestros niños disfrutaron de una experiencia de aprendizaje práctica al sacar las semillas de una calabaza, plantarlas en la tierra y regarlas con mucho cuidado. Ahora estamos emocionados por ver cómo la naturaleza hace su magia y descubrir qué crecerá.

José Hernández, a former NASA astronaut and the son of migrant farmworkers, embodies the power of education, perseverance, and dreaming beyond barriers. Growing up in a hardworking Latino family, he overcame numerous obstacles to achieve his goal of traveling to space, proving that a child's future is not defined by where they start, but by the opportunities and encouragement they receive along the way.
At Drew CDC, we share that same belief. Through our child care centers in South Los Angeles, we provide safe, nurturing, and enriching environments where young children can build the confidence, curiosity, and foundational skills needed to pursue their dreams. By celebrating José Hernández's journey, we inspire our children and families to see that with education, support, and determination, anything is possible.

José Hernández, exastronauta de la NASA e hijo de trabajadores agrícolas migrantes, representa el poder de la educación, la perseverancia y la capacidad de soñar sin límites. Al crecer en una familia latina trabajadora, superó numerosos desafíos para alcanzar su meta de viajar al espacio, demostrando que el futuro de un niño no está determinado por dónde comienza, sino por las oportunidades y el apoyo que recibe en el camino.
En Drew CDC, compartimos esa misma convicción. A través de nuestros centros de cuidado infantil en el Sur de Los Ángeles, brindamos entornos seguros, enriquecedores y llenos de apoyo donde los niños pueden desarrollar la confianza, la curiosidad y las habilidades necesarias para perseguir sus sueños. Al celebrar la trayectoria de José Hernández, inspiramos a nuestros niños y familias a creer que, con educación, apoyo y determinación, todo es posible.

As a young girl in 1944, Dr. Sylvia Mendez was turned away from her local California public school simply because of her Mexican heritage and her last name. Refusing to accept this injustice, her parents, Gonzalo and Felicitas Mendez, organized Mexican-American families across Southern California and filed a groundbreaking federal lawsuit. Their historic victory in the 1947 Mendez v. Westminster case successfully desegregated public schools across the state, laying the direct legal foundation for Brown v. Board of Education seven years later.
Her story reminds us that educational equity starts on day one, inspiring our classrooms in South LA, Compton, and Watts to build inclusive, bilingual spaces where every child thrives. Today, as a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient and lifelong civil rights advocate, Dr. Mendez continues to inspire us to stand alongside our families as fierce advocates for our children's futures.

Cuando era niña en 1944, a la Dra. Sylvia Mendez le negaron la entrada a su escuela pública local en California simplemente por su origen mexicano y su apellido. Negándose a aceptar esta injusticia, sus padres, Gonzalo y Felicitas Mendez, organizaron a familias mexicoamericanas en todo el sur de California y presentaron una demanda federal histórica. Su victoria en el caso Mendez v. Westminster de 1947 desegregó con éxito las escuelas públicas del estado y sentó las bases legales directas para el caso Brown v. Board of Education siete años después.
Su historia nos recuerda que la equidad educativa comienza desde el primer día, inspirando a nuestras aulas en South LA, Compton y Watts a construir espacios inclusivos y bilingües donde cada niño florezca. Hoy en día, como recipiendaria de la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad y defensora de los derechos civiles de toda la vida, la Dra. Mendez continúa inspirándonos a estar junto a nuestras familias como firmes defensores del futuro de nuestros niños.
