Our Mission
To provide childcare services for low-income working families through funding from the
California Department of Education and California Department of Social Services.
To increase the professionalism of those who work in the Child Development Field.
HighScope Curriculum
The HighScope Curriculum focuses on providing engaging classrooms and routines that support children’s play with a variety of learning opportunities
and encouraging adult-child interactions. Child initated play-based learning occurs with the HighScope Curriculum.
We use the research-based HighScope Curriculum at each of our Child Development Centers, ensuring developmentally appropriate practices with highly qualified staff.
Children develop at their own rate and are encouraged to make choices that support their growth.
We maintain a healthy balance of indoor/outdoor and teacher-initiated/child-initiated activities daily.
Teachers conduct comprehensive assessments twice yearly to better serve each child and family's needs.
