USC School for Early Childhood Education
Since its founding in 1970, the USC School for Early Childhood Education (SECE) has been an integral part of the university’s community outreach. Building on the belief that family, culture and community are the primary shapers of children’s values and behavior, 42 percent of SECE staff members were parents of enrolled children as of the 2008-09 academic year.
