Children who attend quality preschools are more likely to graduate from
high school, earn higher incomes, and be proficient in math and reading
by 3rd grade.
LAUP is a nonprofit organization providing access to quality preschool
to 4 year olds in Los Angeles County at little to no cost, regardless of
income.
Each year, we help over 10,000 children from various cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds receive an outstanding early education
