About Us

The Early Childhood Parenting Center was founded in 1970 by Helen Reid, L.C.S.W., with the support of Saul Brown, M.D., Director of Psychiatry at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, as a division of Child-Family Psychiatry at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Our mission is to help parents and early childhood professionals facilitate a healthy early developmental period for young children, thus laying for them a solid foundation on which to build mentally and emotionally throughout life.
Our philosophy is based on two core beliefs: that early attachment for infants and toddlers is essential for normal development, and that the patterns laid out in the first few years of life determine what happens later on, with families as well as children.
The Early Childhood Parenting Center is a non-profit project of
Community Partners, a 501(c)(3) and is no longer affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
