Best Childrens Club Fresno Near Me

4worldlovers: Caring and mighty staff members have been laser-focused on our mission over the past two difficult years. Our ability to keep doors open, feed the community, and bridge the academic gap is a catalyst for the strongest Boys & Girls Club movement we’ve seen in 73 years. Through these post-pandemic times, we are ready to do Whatever It Takes for every young person in Fresno County.


We will put up our shields for safer places, heal broken hearts with mentors, knock down social barriers, and fly the next generation to Great Futures. Hero Training is in session.

Join the unstoppable mission of enabling our future heroes, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential.


“The Boys & Girls Clubs takes in everyone regardless of their backgrounds.”

Jose Ramirez, 2012 USA Olympic Boxer and WBC WBO Unified Light Welterweight World Champion, paid a visit to our Boys & Girls Club on March 22nd. In accompany was Minimum-weight World Champion Female Boxer Seniesa Estrada and members of our Fresno Police Department. The event was called Hometown Heroes. It was a celebration of the heroes youth have to look up to.


Nevin Gomez is a Zimmerman Boys & Girls Club Alumnus who decided to give back to the Club that gave so much to him as a teenager. He decided to bring his hair cutting skills to the Club and offer haircuts to all the members.


“The Boys & Girls Club is a special place for me. It kept me out of trouble as a teenager and I wanted to give back,” said Nevin, “I don’t know what every kid is going through but I know their neighborhood. That’s enough to make me want to serve.”

4worldlovers: The Center is an integral part of the Division of Social Sciences at Fresno City College and functions as a lab for the Child Development Program. The Center is state licensed and provides child care, early education, and early intervention for children from 24 months to 5 years.

Our Center provides an ongoing and professionally updated resource for Fresno City College students to receive professional training and observe children in a quality program. We offer childcare services for students, faculty, staff, and community members as space allows. The Center is a place for children to grow, learn, play, and explore and for parents to gain support in facing the realities of childrearing in a complex world.

In response to the developmental needs of young children, our program supports children's learning and exploration by providing opportunities for them to make choices and experiment as they work toward understanding the world around them. A variety of learning opportunities facilitates self-discovery and competency. Children learn to think about and appreciate individual differences and become cooperative members of the group through social interaction in a climate of caring and support.

Licensed by the State of California (#100406467), the Center provides quality early care and education for children from 24 months to five years of age. The demographics of the population of Fresno are represented in our staff and the children who are enrolled.

The Child Development Center receives and accepts funds from private pay tuition fees and grants. The continued operation of the Center is financed on the same basis as any cost effective childcare program. Our fees reflect the median childcare rates within Fresno County. Our fees include a semester registration fee and monthly tuition fees.

Our Center offers full and half-day programs for children from 24 months to five years of age, as well as early intervention services for those children who are eligible to receive California Early Start services. Child care fees are charged based upon the child's schedule and age. We provide subsidized child care through the CDE Early Education and Support Division (EESD) State Preschool and General Child Care Program. For families who do not qualify for free or reduced childcare, the following fee schedule applies as of July 1, 2015.

A semester registration fee of $20 is charged at the beginning of fall and spring semesters, starting with the admission of the child. This fee is not charged to families receiving subsidized care. Any fees which are not contracted through alternative payment programs are the responsibility of the parent.

Applications for the CDC Waiting List are accepted in June and December of each year. Parents interested in enrolling their children may pick up the Waiting List Application at the Center or print it out from the Fresno City College website.
