A Child’s Place was founded by Verna Latchman, who has a passion for children and for teaching. She strongly believes in the importance of nurturing a child’s curiosity. She also feels that “raising” children is a partnership with parents. Her credits include 18 years in the childcare industry as a commercial childcare professional. This track record includes two tenures as a center director, one over a daycare that was licensed for 100+ children in its program.
Like Mrs. Verna, Ms. Kim also began her career in the commercial childcare setting. She has 14 years industry experience as a teacher, where she excels at helping develop young minds.
Ms. Helen is a volunteer at the daycare who is a special needs instructor for LAUSD with 25 years of experience. She is fluent in Spanish and sign language..
