Enrollment Criteria

Early Development Services works with the Department of Social Services and California Department of Education to provide early care and education services for children ages 6 weeks to entry kindergarten. Services vary by location and are delivered by a center-based program or family child care home Educator option. Our Nationally Accredited Programs are available at affordable rates and offer subsidized services to qualifying families. Formula, baby food, breakfast, diapers, lunch, and an afternoon snack are included with all center based services.

Subsidized Early Care and Education Services are available (pending funding allocations and space limitations) to families that meet the qualifications based on income, family size, and need, such as: employment, job training, homelessness, and child protective services.

California law requires all children must be up to date on their immunizations to be enrolled and continue to update them as needed. Children who are not immunized for vaccine-preventable diseases will be excluded unless a medical exemption is provided by a licensed physician.
