Educare California at Silicon Valley is an innovative early learning school that narrows the opportunity gap for low-income children. We focus on family engagement to nurture children’s social-emotional and cognitive skills and overall health and development. We believe that parents are children’s first and primary teachers, so we support them in giving their child the best start to life. We serve the Santee neighborhood and greater Bay Area community by offering: • High quality early learning classrooms: 12 high-quality, full day, year-round early learning classrooms for children ages 0-5 • A family resource center where families can access free parenting classes, health classes, connections to free health and development screenings and care, and supportive services, and more! • A satellite public library where families can build early literacy skills by checking out books and attending story time • A satellite children’s museum where children and families can experience fun, interactive learning! • A soon-to-be-launched Professional Development Institute where early learning professionals can come to our center to observe best practices in action and receive individualized coaching. • …more services coming soon! Educare serves over 700 low-income children and their parents and caregivers each year.
