Infant, toddler and preschool child care

Up to age 5

Year-round, full-day child care and preschool for children from 6 weeks to 5 years, open Monday to Friday 6:45am to 6pm and set up for downtown workers, with walking access to City Hall South, Caltrans and Temple St. Infant, toddler, two-year-old and preschool rooms follow a play-based, emergent curriculum, and teachers adapt materials and the environment for children with special needs. Infants use a primary caregiver model. Posted teacher-to-child ratios are 4:1 for infants, 6:1 for toddlers and two-year-olds, and 8:1 for preschool. Full-time five-day schedules are offered, and part-time three-day or two-day schedules are combined to fill a full-time space. Families tour, then apply online with a $100 non-refundable fee, and children join a wait pool until a space opens. Tuition options support families of different incomes. The center is vendored with Lanterman Regional Center.
