    Background

    The original TYKES program was initially implemented in August 2001 with the grand opening of the TYKES Learning Center located on Riverside Drive. In July 2007, the program was renamed Chino Valley School Readiness TYKES program and relocated to a more convenient location on Central Avenue in the City of Chino. In 2010, the program relocated to the Chino Valley Adult School campus. The Chino Valley TYKES Program provides support to District families to ensure healthy developmental outcomes for children by: 
    1. Improving parental ability to access and coordinate needed services for their children
    2. Improving parental ability to meet the basic needs of the family
    3. Improving coping skills among parents to improve parenting behavior
