Venice : Children’s Center to Move
- Share via
Los Angeles zoning officials last week granted the Las Doradas Children’s Center in Venice a permit to move its existing child-care facility in Oakwood to a new site owned by the Los Angeles Unified School District next to Broadway Elementary School.
The school district will allow the center to use the site for free, freeing money that Las Doradas had been paying for rent, which will now be used toward an expansion of its preschool and after-school programs.
The program can now accommodate 32 students, and it has a waiting list of 20. Officials expect that total enrollment can rise to 48 when the relocation is completed in six months.
The agreement resulted from months of negotiations between Councilwoman Ruth Galanter’s office, city officials, and staff from Las Doradas and Neighborhood Youth Services, the organization that funds the center.
