Our Child Development Centers are accredited with the
National Association of the Education of Young Children.

QUALITY CARE: The Rancho Santiago Community College District child development centers are licensed and have been funded by the State Department of Education for more than 20 years. Child care services include materials, activities, snacks and lunches (not all centers). 

The district  has four affiliated locations that serve the Orange and Santa Ana Communities. All of the centers follow the same basic guidelines. 

STAFFING: Each class is supervised by a Head Teacher who holds a degree and a California State Child Development Permit at the Master Teacher level. In addition to the Head Teacher the classrooms may be staffed with a combination of Teachers, Interns, Student Assistants, Student Teachers, and/or Volunteers.

ENVIRONMENT: In our centers, children always come first - before planned curriculum, before rules and before adult convenience. We provide a flexible environment so children have a great amount of control over their own activities. This encourages learning because play is the child's most valuable learning tool. It helps them to learn self awareness and problem solving.

The centers represent a wide range of economic levels and ethnic backgrounds. We believe this helps children learn to value differences.
