The LMUCC is an on-site, employer-sponsored organization dedicated to quality care for children of all those who make up the LMU and greater Westchester communities. Care is made available for children of the faculty, staff, and students, with a limited number of spaces available to alumni, qualified on-campus employees of University service contractors, and neighborhood residents. In keeping with the Jesuit and Marymount traditions, we strive to meet the
needs of the community of which we are a part by incorporating diversity into a values-centered curriculum.

The Center’s early childhood professionals are committed to educating the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually—to set the stage for life-long learning. Based on developmentally appropriate practice, the curriculum
focuses on play, creativity, and hands-on discovery learning for children 6 weeks to 11 years of age. Our intention is to be a model of quality Early Childhood Education programs for the communities we serve.
