The California State Preschool Program (CSPP) is a state-funded program that provides high-quality early learning using a curriculum that is developmentally,  culturally, and linguistically appropriate. Key components include structured classroom activities and learning through play, with a focus on social-emotional development. CSPP offers both part-day and full-day services.

The infant and toddler program is a state-funded program that provides high-quality early learning for eligible children aged 6 weeks to 3 years using a curriculum that is developmentally,  culturally, and linguistically appropriate. Key components include learning through teacher-guided play and structured learning time. The focus is on social-emotional development, language skills, and social skills.

The Playgroup program is funded by First 5 Sacramento and is designed for families with infants and toddlers (0-3 years old).  Playgroups are facilitated by a qualified and experienced Early Childhood Education teacher. The family member and child learn together through songs, stories, and play. Socialization is encouraged with activities designed for play with peers in the classroom setting.

Connect 4 Learning authors created six research-based and classroom-tested units to help children build ten important thinking skills. These skills are useful for specific subjects and also work across all areas of learning.

 

Handwriting Without Tears helps children learn how to write letters and numbers using fun, hands-on activities that match how young children learn best. The program builds fine motor skills, teaches how to form letters, and helps kids understand space on the page. It also makes writing easier and more fun by reducing frustration.

 

Kindermusik uses read-alouds, singing, dancing, and imagination to help children learn in fun ways. This kind of learning uses many senses at the same time. Each lesson helps the brain grow and supports children's development at every age.

Children shall not be denied services or skipped over in priority based on toileting status, as learning to independently use the toilet is not an eligibility requirement for CSPP, pursuant to 5 CCR Section 17736(c).
