The Center's new campus was completed in spring 2020.

The comprehensive redevelopment of our 2 1/2 acre urban campus in West Hollywood, California broke ground in fall 2016.
Two new school buildings connect to an existing building to create a single 100,000 SF building housing 540 students and 110 faculty and staff.
In addition to a full array of classrooms and learning spaces, the campus includes new additional below-ground parking, rooftop playgrounds, a gymnasium, and a playfield. 

The architecture of the new campus is inspired by the spontaneous expression of children’s art: folded and cut-out paper, alphabet building blocks, brightly colored surfaces, and simplified, almost childlike profiles of things found in nature such as trees and flowers.
The second new building opened for students on September 3, 2019. The facility on Clinton Avenue now houses all early education programs, Kindergarten, first and second grades, administrative offices, and a rooftop playground, expanded underground parking and more.
This building forms the new entrance to school, featuring a five-story atrium that connects a vestibule at the new below-grade parking garage to the rooftop playgrounds at the fourth floor.
On January 6, 2020, The Center for Early Education marked an important moment in the Campus Enhancement Project, cutting the ribbon on the new central campus playfield, flanked by community plaza, shaded lunch pavilion, and handball courts.
