Early Childhood Mission Statement
click to view
The SMFCSD Child Development programs provide a nurturing, safe and stimulating educational environment for children. Each child is given the opportunity to grow and learn through positive experiences that foster social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. We recognize and respect that each child brings to school a unique rate of development, a desire to learn and diverse language and cultural experiences.
Our programs are designed with consideration of the specific needs and differences of the children. Children are enrolled without regard to sex, race, religion, ethnicity or physical disability. Children may be enrolled in either our FEE BASED PRESCHOOL OR STATE SUBSIDIZED PRESCHOOL PROGRAM.
All children must be fully potty trained prior to attending our preschool program.
Diapers and pull-ups are not allowed.
