Our Story
Founded in 1982 by the Altadena Baptist Church, the Altadena Children's Center transformed underutilized property into a nurturing child care environment. In 1992, it became an independent nonprofit, governed by a dedicated Board of Directors made up of community volunteers, parents, and alumni. Originally licensed for 44 children aged 2 to 5 years, the Center expanded to include an Infant & Toddler program, serving an additional 16 children. Throughout its history, ACC has partnered with various community agencies to address the needs of children and families.
