Pre-School Centers

Our pre-schoolers learn colors, numbers, do circle time, and socialize. They learn to cooperate and share. Parents are always welcome to participate, and we have flexible hours for either part-time or full-time pre-school. A big benefit of this program is that children are able to develop important trusting relationships with our staff—our annual staff turnover rate is less than 5%!

Our centers are licensed by the State of California. Centers are open Monday through Friday. Please see specific centers for exact hours. Rates are reasonable; click here for our rate sheet. Subsidized help is available to qualifying families.
