My First Learning Center is a newer licensed childcare facility (est. 2024) at 2116 Garfield St in Hollywood, serving infants through VPK age. Under Director Ms. Fatima Marin's experienced leadership (nearly 30 years in special education and early childhood), the center offers a full-service program including infant care, VPK, afterschool, and seasonal camps. Parent testimonials on the facility's website are positive, but the center is too new for established third-party ratings.
