Maryvale Family Resource & Early Education Centers
Building on Our Heritage – Continuing the Legacy
Maryvale was founded in 1856 as the first orphanage for the growing city of Los Angeles. Today it provides care for children and their families.
The Maryvale Centers are another chapter in the over 150 year history of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul and their faithful commitment to lovingly care for the children of Los Angeles.
Serving families and their children, the Centers are designed to collaborate with other community health, protection, and education agencies to provide the best comprehensive services for San Gabriel Valley families. Anticipating the increasing need for early family crises intervention and prevention, multiple services available to the public are provided within four program components: Early Childhood Education / Intervention; Youth Intervention & Prevention; Mental Health; and Adult & Family Services. Also available are opportunities to enroll in community need-based classes.
The Early Education Centers are an important part of Maryvale’s circle of care, satisfying its mission to help each child develop their strengths and the skills to live independent, successful lives with dignity and self-esteem in an environment of stability, love and respect. Programs focus on the entire family to accomplish the following:
- Support family stability.
- Identify educational, social, and emotional problems early.
- Give children with working parents an equal footing when entering a regular school setting.
- Provide a needed community-based service of high quality early childhood and parenting education along with family support.
Maryvale Family Resource & Early Education Centers in Duarte and Rosemead are standing ready to provide high quality education and mental health services to children, youth and families living in the communities of the San Gabriel Valley.
