Lomita Academy is a newly licensed CCLD-regulated day care center at 2332 Lomita Blvd in Lomita, serving children ages 2–6 in part-time and full-time care. The center operates at small capacity (31 children) and passed its initial November 2025 inspection with zero citations. Its stated philosophy emphasizes play-based, experiential learning paired with age-appropriate academics. However, as a brand-new licensee (December 2025), the center has no long-term operational history, and public information about staff credentials, detailed curriculum, and parent experience remains limited.
