Community Centers for Child Development in Mexico City
The Community Centers for Child Development in Mexico City were developed by working mothers together with community educators in the sixties. The Foundation for the Center of Child Support provides technical, pedagogical and financial advice to the Centers. All centers are non-governmental organizations, which operate with the parents' fees, which are agreed upon between the parents and the center.
