California State Preschool Programs

Providing high-quality, inclusive early education for all children in Mendocino County.

The Mendocino County State Preschool Program partners with school districts, charter schools, and nonprofits to operate state preschool sites across the county. These programs serve income-eligible children aged two to five years (depending on location), offering three to four hours of enriching learning experiences each weekday.

Our vision includes families who are respected as the primary drivers in their child's growth and development. Our programs are designed to celebrate the cultural and linguistic diversity of Mendocino County's families and we encourage families to provide feedback, volunteer and engage with staff and children. Several of our sites are full inclusion programs, where children with disabilities learn alongside their typically developing peers. These inclusive settings allow typically developing children to experience a diversity of abilities, while children with disabilities benefit from modeling social and language skills in a supportive environment.
