The El Segundo Unified School District prides itself in top-quality child care provided through The Learning Connection (TLC). TLC is open to students currently enrolled at the district’s elementary schools. TLC is a fee-based before and after school child care program taught by qualified ESUSD employees who emphasize positive social interactions. We will be in contact with any updates and changes to all applicants.
The program is located on both the Richmond Street and Center Street Elementary School campuses during the school year. Our hours are 6:30 a.m. to 5:55 p.m. Monday through Friday. For additional information, contact Denise Azcuna, Program Director, at dazcuna@esusd.net or (310) 615-2676 Ext. 4243.
TLC uses the contactless payment system called SmartCare. Statements, ACH Direct Deposit and credit card payments are all done through SmartCare. There is no fee if you set up auto pay through a bank account. There is a service fee of 2.85% charged to you for each credit card transaction that will be added to the "shopping cart" prior to payment. SmartCare will charge $30 for ACH Checks that are returned due to non-sufficient funds or stopped payment, etc. Let us know if you need the SmartCare access email resent to you.
