Our Mission
Our mission is to provide the best quality care and education for young children as well as support for their families. Our goal is to provide your child with the experiences and skills that will allow them a successful transition to kindergarten.
Our Keys to Success
Providing an enriched learning environment using a child-directed, integrated curriculum that fosters positive social emotional growth while developing a lifelong love of learning. We also ensure that children learn and play in beautiful, clean indoor and outdoor environments that promote responsibility and connect children to nature.
Our Staff
Providing children with a high quality and continuity of care. We staff each classroom with an early childhood professional. Many of our staff have degrees in Early childhood education, hold a California teaching permit and have years of experience teaching preschool and working with families. We also have staff who are fluent in Spanish.
One Parent's Peace of Mind
“I work full time; to have this program to help me out is amazing, because child care is expensive. The Salvation Army is great and the staff is great. It’s been a good preparation for going into school. I know my daughter is safe, I know where she is and I know she’s taken care of. I call this peace of mind.”
