PBCC's Center for Early Learning (CEL) in Lake Worth is a Montessori-based preschool located in SCA 103.  The Center serves as an observation site for PBCC students from a number of disciplines who are required to observe or work with young children as part of their coursework.  The Center is licensed by the Palm Beach County Health Department to enroll twenty-two (22) children ranging in age from 3 to 6.  The hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.  

The Center is open during fall, spring, and summer A terms on the same days that the College is open for classes.  The Center is staffed by two Montessori trained teachers [credentials from the American Montessori Society] and one assistant.  The Center is open to children of PBCC students, staff, and faculty.  A PBCC student does not have to be a fulltime student in order for their child to be eligible to attend the Center.
