Subsidized Preschool Programs in Torrance Unified School District
March 27, 2008
Since 1971, Torrance Unified School District has provided early childhood services, beginning at the Torrance Children's Center located near Magruder Middle School. In 1999, the inception of Torrance Tykes Preschool achieved our goal of providing a full spectrum of high quality, subsidized preschool and childcare services to income qualified families residing in Torrance and surrounding communities.
