Welcome to Preschool
Our PUSD Preschool
We are excited to offer two pathways to preschool, which are both designed to support your child’s growth and development. Both State Funded and Tuition Based programs are specially tailored to meet the needs of 3-year-olds, helping them build a strong foundation for future learning.
Our programs focus on the academic and social-emotional needs of young children. We are a developmentally-based program that is guided by the California Preschool/ Transitional Kindergarten Learning Foundations and California Preschool Curriculum Frameworks which allows us to prepare children for entry into PUSD’s Transitional or Kindergarten classrooms. All classrooms use curriculum and learning materials that are developmentally appropriate and culturally responsive to provide safe and nurturing learning environments for young children that promote their emotional, social, cognitive, and physical development.
Our Programs
| STATE FUNDED PROGRAM | TUITION BASED PROGRAM |
|
The state-funded program provides no-cost early learning opportunities to income-eligible families through state and federal funding. To qualify for enrollment in a state-funded program, families must provide income documentation and meet state and/or federal income guidelines. Families experiencing homelessness, receiving government assistance, or with a referral from Child Protective Services are also eligible.
|
This is a fee based program that offers both Full Day and Part Day classes for families. PUSD Preschool's programs provide high-quality early learning experiences for students throughout the year. Families must submit an Interest Application to be considered a spot for their child(ren).

| PUSD Preschool recognizes that parents are a child's first and most influential teachers. A child's learning experiences both at home and at school are the foundation for lifelong feelings of self worth, competence, and a love of learning. |
