PACOIMA : School District Receives Grant for Day Care Center
The Los Angeles Unified School District has received a $1-million grant from a philanthropic foundation to establish a day-care center on the campus of Maclay Junior High School in Pacoima, district officials announced this week.
Scheduled to open early next year, the center will serve up to 50 children between the ages of 3 and 5 and will be designed for low-income residents who work or attend local adult-education classes, said Conchita Puncel, director of the district’s child development division. Parents will also be able to receive occupational training at the site.
Money for the project is being provided by the New York-based Maxwell H. Gluck Foundation, a charitable organization that made a similar donation three years ago for a day-care facility at the district’s North Valley Occupational Center in Mission Hills.
