Eligibility Application
The first step to receiving services in our subsidized programs is completing an eligibility application for the waiting list. We ask that you list all children in the household, whether or not they need services, because family size and monthly gross income will determine your ranking on the waitlist. This list is used when a slot opens in one of our subsidized programs.
This application does not register or enroll your child(ren) in our program. It is only an application to be placed on the waitlist.
Child Development Programs
CSPP and CCTR programs are contracted to provide instructional programs through the California State Department of Education, Early Education Division Guidelines, and the State Department of Social Services, Child Care and Development Division. The programs are licensed by the Community Care Licensing Department of Social Services.
CSPP provides a safe and healthy environment of supervised enrichment programs conducive to the growth and development of children.
The pre-kindergarten program offers a variety of activities and experiences that promote the social-emotional, cognitive, language-communication, physical, and creative development of young children.
Full-day care provides the opportunity for parents to attain the capacity to support their family through employment or preparation for employment.
At all school sites, school-age children receive care during the school year before and after school, during elementary non-student days, school holidays (except for national holidays), and summer breaks.
Infants and toddlers aged three months to three years receive childcare services at Federal Terrace Elementary School.
The Pregnant and Parenting Teens Program is a school-based program for pregnant and teen parents and their children.
