INCLUSIVE PRESCHOOL

Long Beach Campus

For learners ages 30 months to 5 years, with preference to those 36 months-5 years, we offer an inclusive model preschool program. Our preschool classrooms are divided by age, and include students who qualify for ECEAP and those who access Early Learning in other ways.

This year-round program allows our youngest learners to have access to high-quality early learning throughout the year. Though ECEAP programs only run during the school year, ECEAP qualified students can access summer care/learning as well.

What does “inclusive model” mean? This means that all students, at whatever ability level, and whatever payment structure, are in the same classroom, getting access to the same quality education. We ensure that all kids are being served in the way that best meets their needs, while being engaged with their peers throughout the day in an inclusive environment. We meet the children in our care at their level.

Is this a licensed childcare center? We are in the process of getting licensed through DCYF and will be a fully licensed Early Learning Center prior to opening. We aim to open in August 2024.

What are the hours of operation? Hours will be finalized in spring 2024, with the intention to run 11-hour care. We will operate Monday-Friday, with limited closure/holiday days.

How much does it cost? As a licensed facility, families who qualify for WCCC (Working Child Care Connections) can access care for little to no-cost. To see if you qualify for WCCC, visit here. We are happy to help families enroll in WCCC!
