It’s an early Wednesday morning, and 5-year-old Paloma is sitting on the sofa watching “Clifford the Big Red Dog.”
She’s grabbed a box of Corn Pops and is eating them out of the bag while her mother, Nancy Gamboa, 26, gets ready in the bathroom.
Gamboa has only a limited amount of time before she has to walk her daughter to the University Village day care center where Paloma will stay until closing time at 5 p.m.
Though Sarah Ervin’s baby is not due till the end of the month, she has already placed herself on the waiting list for the UCLA childcare centers, the Psychology Department, and has met with a resource director to see about other centers in the Westside area.
