PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS

Children's Center

The Child Development Program currently offers both a subsidized and a tuition-based preschool program. Both programs focus on providing a safe and secure environment for your child to explore and grow. Afterall, it is our belief that children learn best through experiencing an enriching educational environment, social interaction, and play.

The California State Preschool Part Day Program is a three-hour educational program offered daily (A.M. or P.M.), for children ages three and four years old, with priority given to four-year olds. The program also provides nutritious meals or snacks. We provide a core class curriculum that is developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate. We align with the district's PBIS model. We offer parent education, referrals to health and social services for families, and staff development opportunities to employees. Our classrooms excel in developing childrens' skills and promoting early language literacy skills by using Footsteps to Brilliance, which is a technology-based program. We participate in Quality Start San Bernardino County to maintain a high-quality early learning experience and ensure that children receive early and specialized support if needed, which makes a lasting difference preparing children to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.
