Capistrano Unified offers licensed preschool programs at elementary schools throughout the district.
State-funded preschool programs operate Monday through Friday with half-day and full-day sessions available, depending on the school site. Participants in state-funded programs must meet eligibility requirements established by the district’s Child Development Programs division.
Fee-based preschool programs provide parents a choice of half-day instruction in a two- or three-day-a-week program. Since these programs are self-supporting and are not funded by the California Department of Education, a tuition fee is charged to support staffing, classroom materials, and snacks. For details, call Child Development at (949) 234-5341.
