About the Program:
Child Development Services (CDS) provides early childhood education for children who are 3 to 5 years old on or before September 1st. CDS is guided by the philosophy that all preschool children should have access to quality early education, care and supervision.
Children are introduced to traditional preschool activities in an environment that stresses the importance of play as the child’s primary form of learning. All programs utilize Creative Curriculum ® which engages preschool children in active learning and problem solving. The classrooms are located at various school sites throughout the district.
CDS offers offers California State Preschool (California State Preschool Program), Head Start and full fee based programs. Class sizes range from 16 to 24. To begin enrollment, all parents must complete a pre-enrollment application. Applications are not school site specific. Site requests will be considered but cannot be guaranteed. For families requesting financial assistance, state and federal guidelines may help determine placement. Placement is based on availability.
