We provide caring, developmental childcare and early learning opportunities to families throughout the Vancouver, Washington metro area. Learning Avenues Child Care Centers (formerly East Vancouver Child Care Center) is a non-profit agency governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. The purpose of the agency is to provide caring, developmental childcare to families for a cost based on their ability to pay. Care is provided without regard to race, color, handicap or national origin. Every effort will be made to assist children and parents who have limited English language ability either with translation of written information or with an interpreter. The agency receives funding from parent fees, The Department of Social and Health Services, the US Department of Agriculture, Educational Opportunities for Children and Families (EOCF), and board fundraising. The Preschool Program opened June 15, 1969 as a result of a “Crisis in America” study at the East Vancouver United Methodist Church. A Health and Welfare Planning Council study showed a need for childcare for low-income families. The church (now Vancouver Heights United Methodist Church) continues its support for the organization. Learning Avenues is open from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Service is provided for Preschoolers, and School Age children. The Preschool Program (ages 2.5-5 years), which also includes ECEAP (Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program) and Head Start classes, is located at 5701 MacArthur Blvd. The School Age Program (ages 5 – 12 years) serves the following elementary schools: Harney, King, and Marshall.
