When you’re preparing for a meaningful role in early learning, choosing a program that meets regulatory operation standards is a smart choice. At Laguna Technical College, located in Pomona, California, our early childhood education training is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE)—which means the institution is legally permitted to provide these programs under the state’s oversight.

Why BPPE Approval Matters

Being BPPE-approved establishes that the institution operates in compliance with California’s privately-run training standards. This matters for students because it means the college provides the required disclosures, operates legally, and is subject to state review. This gives you confidence in your choice of training provider.
