“By far best decision I've made sending my daughter here. The staff was always so helpful and welcoming, they were attentive every step of the way. The teachers are all so caring, my daughter felt welcomed from the beginning. They definitely prepared her, giving her the knowledge to tackle the move to kindergarten. Thank you to everyone at Kids 1st…. I definitely recommend anyone and everyone to invest in their child's future and send them to Kids 1st!”


“I've had a great experience at Kids 1st Learning Center. My caseworker has been so friendly and was really helpful with the whole enrollment process. My son really likes his teachers and has made lots of friends. I feel comfortable that he's in a safe environment and is learning a lot. I also like that his teacher has parent conferences with me to keep me informed on his progress. I would highly recommend this center to other parents as well.”


“My daughter went here for a year and a half. She is extremely shy and has a hard time adjusting to new environments. When she came to this learning center, her transition went a lot better than I expected. She developed such close bonds with all her teachers, and they made her feel comfortable and safe which is the most important thing for me. Thank you, Kids 1st, for making my daughter feel welcomed every day and preparing her for her future!”

4worldlovers: MAOF uses a multi-generational approach to uplift the whole family. We provide social services for infants through seniors across four pillars: early child education services, senior services, community development services, and community partnership services.

Since our founding in 1963 in Los Angeles, we have grown to become one of the largest nonprofits in California. We maintain an operating budget of over $100 million annually, and we serve over 125,000 people per year across these seven counties: Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, San Diego, Ventura, Kern, and Monterey.

When we began providing support to the community in the 1960s, we focused on the Mexican-American community at that time. As our local Latino community grew beyond Mexican-Americans, we began serving the Latino community more broadly. Today, MAOF is proud to serve people from all racial and ethnic backgrounds.
