The Center for Early Education is a private primary school located in West Hollywood, Los Angeles County, California.
The Center for Early Education was founded in 1939 by a group of professional psychoanalysts who were interested in respecting the inner world of children. [2] Since then the school has become regarded as one of the top elementary schools in the nation. It has been noted for a high "feeder" rate into Harvard-Westlake School. [3]
The Center welcomed Damian R. Jones as Head of School in July 2022. [4]
More than 50% of the student body during the 2016-17 school years was non-white. [5] [6] According to Town & Country magazine, "The school looks for diversity, in the hopes of a student body that represents the full spectrum of LA's varied population." [7]
The current campus consists of three major buildings, with classrooms, a library, a community center, a gym, an innovation center, and additional indoor and outdoor instructional space. The school conducted a major campus renovation from 2016-2020, adding more classrooms and sports facilities. The first phase of the project was completed in July 2018. [8] [9]
The campus expansion project was completed in 2020. [10]
In February 2021 the Hollywood Reporter reported that hackers leaked confidential staff salaries and parent contact information of the school in emails with racist, sexist and homophobic language. [11]
