Dear Families,

Welcome to Early Childhood Education!  We are delighted to have you here.  Our dedicated team is committed to partnering with you to provide the best early education experience for your child.  We understand the vital role you play in your child's development, and we are here to support and guide you every step of the way!

The mission of the SAUSD Early Childhood Education Department is to ensure that children enter Kindergarten healthy and ready to learn.  This is accomplished using the whole child approach, which ensures that each child is healthy, safe, engaged, supported and challenged, with an overarching goal of the long term development and success of all children.  We are committed to assisting children and their families by providing high quality preschool programs and support services in partnership with the California Department of Education, First 5 Orange County, and other partners in the community.  Please let us know how we can help you, your child and/or your family. Together we can make this a successful year for all the children and families enrolled in the Santa Ana Unified School District Early Childhood Education Program.

Please see our easy online enrollment link to begin registration, or call our office at 714-569-9782 for more information.  Stop by our Facebook and Instagram pages to see all the learning taking place in our classrooms!

We look forward to serving your family!

Sincerely,
