Prospective parents

Thank you for your interest in our program! Our program is primarily for low-income families who qualify for services under the California Department of Education guidelines.

Eligibility is based on documentation and verification of at least one of the following: income, current aid recipient, homelessness, Child Protective Services, at-risk of abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation. All enrollment forms, current records of the child's immunizations (including Hepatitis B), a current (negative) tuberculin test, and a physical examination must be completed before the child may be admitted into the program.

Family size is determined by counting the parents and the children for whom the parents are responsible for, who compromise the household in which the child receiving services is living. When a child and his siblings are living in a family that does not include their biological or adoptive parent, “family” shall be considered the child and related siblings. The child must live in the State of California to receive services. Evidence of street address is sufficient to establish residency. A person identified as homeless is exempted from this requirement.

Enrollment begins with a search in our eligibility list. Families are selected based on a priority list and eligibility. Families are ranked in the list by criteria for subsidized care. Enrollment is based on the lowest rank first. Families in the state funded program will be charged tuition on a sliding fee scale that is provided by the state.

If families do not qualify for the state-funded program, we have a limited amount of spaces in our non-funded program. Non-funded families are enrolled in the center based on the date of their application and the openings that are available in the center.

Tuition for non-funded families is based on a non-profit budget, with a commitment to assuring affordable costs. Tuition rates are monthly and are based on an established yearly cost that has been broken into monthly segments. Current fee information may be obtained at the center. A non-refundable registration fee is required.

Current parents

We encourage parents to become involved in their child's school experience and we offer a variety of parent involvement opportunities.  Parents are invited to attend the first parent meeting of the year, usually held in September or October.  We introduce the staff and make sure that you are aware of our policies and procedures.  This is also the opportunity to go into your child’s classroom and have the teacher explain the goals of the class.  

Two parent/teacher conferences are held during the year.  If you need to speak with the teacher about your child, please talk with your child’s teacher or the director about planning a good time to meet.    

At the beginning of the academic year, parents are invited to participate in regular meetings of the Parent Advisory Committee.  The Committee, and all parents who attend the meetings, advise the director on parent involvement and other Center issues.

Parenting Classes are an opportunity to learn more about parenting from other parents and early childhood education professionals.

Open door policy

Parents are always welcome in the classroom and encouraged to observe and participate in the children's program.  No prior appointment, announcement, or call necessary to come and participate in our program. Children love to have their parents interact with them at the Center and we hope that you will consider becoming involved! Stop by the front office to sign in.
