"A Special Place to Learn and Grow"
One of the most challenging missions SCOA has ever undertaken is the founding of SCOA Children's Center. That mission
is being realized everyday when you walk across our campus and hear the laughter of children on the
playground. As we enter the fourth year of operations, the preschool has become a solid part of the
community.
SCOA Children's Center was built with a donation from Ronald and Linda Greenberg. Greenberg, who
owns the property and leases over 15,000 square feet of space to SCOA, saw the potential in
Keith Davis' vision of a preschool. By providing architecture and structural changes to two buildings,
Greenberg has helped to pour the foundation on what may grow to be an entire chain of preschools
throughout Southern California. Donations made in the memory of longtime SCOA benefactor, Robert
Black, who passed away in 1997, and the San Diego Gas & Electric Contrib Club, helped to fund
playground equipment for the Center. In addition, grants from Las Patronas and the Parker
Foundation in 1998 helped to fund furnishings and supplies.
A full-service preschool facility founded on the educational principles of SCOA, the Children's
Center offers a unique program of learning and creative play for children ages two through Kindergarten.
Our preschool program centers on a full educational curriculum, extremely talented and creative teachers
and staff who love what they do and are committed to their work, a well-balanced nutritional program,
and reasonable tuition designed especially for working parents, single parents, and those who are
economically disadvantaged. SCOA Children's Centers gives parents peace of mind knowing that their
child is being well-cared for in an atmosphere of love and nurturing.
If you talk with some of the parents, there is a consensus among them that the center has one
underlying quality that makes them feel good about bringing their children here everyday. That
quality is "love" and "caring." That quality comes from the nature of our teachers and staff.
Thanks to the support of the community, SCOA Children's Center will continue to grow and be a
"special place for children to learn." We thank you all for your support.
