Saving South Central L.A.—One Child, One Future at a Time
In the heart of South Central Los Angeles, a transformative mission is underway, championed by community leaders Omar McGee and Darell Pork. They recognized a fundamental truth: early childhood education is the non-negotiable foundation of every child’s future. From this realization, and fueled by a pure passion for their community, they founded LA City Prep.
LA City Prep isn’t just a childcare center; it’s a statement. It’s a first-class facility that no only rivals but often surpasses the standard of education and care found in affluent areas like Beverly Hills, now brought to the families who need it most.
The Vision: Excellence as the Expectation
McGee and Pork built LA City Prep on the principle that excellence must be accessible to all. The center’s comprehensive programs are designed to help families access free or low-cost childcare, breaking down financial barriers to top-tier education.
Inside the doors of LA City Prep, students experience an environment where every detail is optimized for growth, confidence, and creativity:
* Nutritional Excellence: Students receive organic meals prepared daily by a personal chef.
* Individualized Learning: Instruction is one-on-one, supported by real academic data and personalized benchmarks.
* 21st-Century Curriculum: Cutting-edge technology is seamlessly integrated throughout the learning environment.
* Unwavering Safety: The facility operates under top-level security, with every inch under 24/7 surveillance, ensuring a safe, nurturing space for all.
The Heart and Soul: Our Love For Children
The profound commitment of the founders extends beyond the school’s tuition structure through their nonprofit arm: Our Love For Children. This vital organization focuses specifically on assisting single mothers who may not qualify for existing, traditional childcare scholarships.
This initiative is crucial because it ensures that no child is overlooked simply because their family falls just outside the parameters of existing support systems. It is the safety net catching those who might otherwise be missed.
Co-founder Darell Pork articulates the vision: “We built LA City Prep to be the place we wish every child in our community could experience—a place where safety, education, love, and opportunity come together under one roof. This is more than childcare. This is about changing lives for generations.”
“Our mission is simple,” adds founder Omar McGee. “To save our community—one child, one family, one future at a time.”
LA City Prep and Our Love For Children are more than just educators; they are community saviors, committed to creating brighter, safer futures for South Central’s next generation. They invite the community, partners, and supporters to stand with them in this life-changing mission.
