At the Anna Bing Arnold Children's Center we strive to create a shared community where parents, teachers and the campus join together to provide children with the very best care. For over 45 years the Center has provided child care and development services for student-parents, faculty, staff and the local community.
The Anna Bing Arnold Children's Center is a nonprofit organization licensed by the State of California's Department of Health and Social Services to provide an enriched developmental program for infant, toddler and preschool children. The Center is equipped and staffed appropriately for these ages and meets or exceeds all State, County, and City regulations for health, sanitation, safety, and teacher/child ratios. The Center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). The Center is owned and operated by Cal State L.A. for use by students, faculty, and staff of the University. Funding for the program is provided by the Associated Students, parent fees, and the State of California Department of Education.
The Children's Center is open to children between the ages of six months to five years who are ready for a group experience and who can benefit from the program.
W.M. Keck Infant and Toddler Center
The Center provides infant and toddler classrooms for children 6 months to 36 months of age. This program serves 40 children in 3 different classrooms designed for the specific needs of young children. The infant room offers a 1:3 teacher-child ratio and the toddler rooms have a 1:4 ratio. We offer continuity of care for infants and toddlers and keep primary care groups together until they reach preschool.
Our program draws on the infant and toddler's natural interest of discovery, urge to learn, and the need for close, responsive relationships with caregivers. Infants and toddlers have their own curriculum. Teachers plan the environment carefully so that lessons may be learned through exploration and discovery. Sensitive observation of the children's needs and interests lead teachers to the appropriate next steps to take in planning. Planning for each day is based on these observations and emphasizes child-directed learning over adult-directed learning.
Young infants need closeness, reassurance and comfort to strengthen their sense of security. Our infant program provides opportunities for close contact and security by assigning a primary caregiver for each child. Teachers help infants by being available and responding promptly, bringing things of interest to the infant, and taking the infant to interesting things. A calm and soothing environment is provided to avoid over stimulation.
Older infants and toddlers are captivated by their growing ability to move. Caregivers provide a secure base of support from which children can venture out and explore. Exploration is encouraged by providing a safe and interesting environment, while at the same time providing challenging opportunities for movement.
ABACC Pre-Kindergarten vs. School District Transitional Kindergarten
The Center offers a preschool program for children 36 months to 5 years of age. This program serves 60 children in three classrooms, and offers appropriate challenge and interest for active preschool children. The teacher child ratio for preschool is 1:7.
The preschool is designed to provide an enriched developmental curriculum that will foster children's dispositions to be curious and involved learners who are active participants in constructing their knowledge of the world. To support the child's construction of knowledge:
- Teachers support child-initiated engagement and experimentation with a variety of materials based on the child's interest level and ability.
- Children are encouraged to develop ideas over time, to deepen their understanding of the natural and social world by questioning, exploring and representing ideas through various creative mediums.
- Indoor and outdoor activities expose the children to art, science, music, dramatic play, and language development on a daily basis.
- Being part of a shared community is actively encouraged. Center teachers emphasize cooperation and create classroom groups that develop concern for each other as they problem solve and work together.
- Curriculum is carried out with the belief that children are learning at all times and that the teacher's role is to facilitate and enrich the learning process.

- If you need to cancel/reschedule your appointment, please do so at the center or over the phone.
- Do plan to arrive on time to the appointment with all your materials on hand, such as the textbook, notes, homework, questions, and writing instruments.

- Use the signaling device (GREEN up means OKAY and RED up means I HAVE A QUESTION) on the table to indicate to the tutor(s) how you are doing.
- This is not a one-to-one session, since there may be other students in the walk-in area getting help as well.

Our mission is to help each student who comes to us become a better writer. The University Writing Center (UWC) provides one-to-one tutoring free of charge to Cal State LA students. Students from all departments are welcome to make use of the resources available at the UWC.
Services
The University Writing Center provides writing tutoring for all Cal State LA courses, from first-year introductory courses to graduate seminars. When you come to the University Writing Center, you will find tutors who excel in helping you identify effective writing strategies tailored to your individual needs and level of experience in writing. You can come in with any type of writing assignment at any stage of the writing process.
Students are encouraged to come in early in the semester since guidance can save you a great deal of time and effort. Whether you need help understanding or getting started on an assignment, need feedback on a draft, or seek to improve the force and effectiveness of your writing, the UWC can help you start and organize your essays, clarify your ideas, and revise your paper.
While the UWC is not a proofreading or error-correction service, it can help you learn to become a better proofreader and editor yourself. During a 30-minute tutoring session, a tutor can work with you on identifying and correcting errors and help you develop strategies for effectively presenting your ideas. The Center's emphasis is on helping you become a better writer, so its goal is to help you learn to revise and edit your own work. The UWC is strongly focused on the long-term development of individual writers rather than quick fixes for the paper at hand.
While you can drop in for tutoring, the best way to get one-to-one feedback is to make an appointment. The process to get one-on-one writing assistance is on the Tutoring Services page.
Student Research Consultants
Library research assistance is available in Library-North to help students narrow topics, develop search strategies, and select databases. A student research consultant may also help students with formatting and documentation, using APA, MLA, and other styles. For Fall Semester 2017, student research consultants will be available Weeks 3 to 15. No appointment is necessary - just inquire in Library North.
Do you feel your writing skills are a bit rusty? Do you get nervous every time you take a timed writing exam? If so, maybe a 4 or 2-hour WPE workshop is just for you! You will learn some test-taking tips and strategies. In addition, tutors at the 4-hour workshop will provide you with feedback on your individual essays. Visit the WPE Workshops link above for dates and times the workshops are provided as well as helpful handouts pertaining to the WPE.
Conversation and Culture Workshop
Do you want to enhance your English language fluency? Would you like to know more about American Culture? Then the UWC's Conversation and Culture Workshop is just for you.
Each workshop is a 1-hour session where every student will get a chance to practice using the English language with peers, encounter new vocabulary, and learn about different cultures from all over the world. This is a great opportunity to meet new people and gain confidence. No registration is needed. Come to one session or come to all. Visit the Conversation and Culture Workshop link above to view session dates and times.
