YWCA of Greater Los Angeles — Compton Child Development Center at 1600 E Compton Blvd serves infants from 6 weeks through preschool age with low teacher-to-child ratios and a nutritious meal program integrated into daily activities. As part of the YWCA Greater Los Angeles Early Child Development network, the center emphasizes mission-driven, equity-focused care aligned with accessible pricing for working Compton families.
