Welcome to Orange Unified School District Child Development Center. Our program is designed to promote the physical, mental, and emotional health of preschool age children. Special emphasis is placed on enhancing each child's positive self-image as a learner as well as developing warm personal relationships with others. The curriculum will provide key learning experiences to build a foundation for school success. The Child Development Center offers a full-time program only. We do not offer part-time or drop-in care. Our center is open from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 12 months a year. The center will be closed in observance of legal holidays and local holidays as designated in enrollment packets. The center provides morning and afternoon snacks consisting of fruits, breads and crackers, protein sources, and other nutritious foods. Lunch is provided each day. Observations and visits are welcomed and encouraged. We are more than happy to answer, on a personal basis, any questions you might have been concerning the program.

ADMINISTRATION AND STAFF The CDC is administered by the Orange Unified School District Board of Education in agreement with the California Department of Education, Office of Child Development, and licensed by the State of California Health and Welfare Agency, Department of Social Services. Each classroom is staffed by a teacher holding a Teacher Permit issued by the State of California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. All other staff meet necessary District requirements for education and experience in Child Development. All staff members are trained and experienced early childhood educators who were chosen for their enthusiasm and expertise in working with children. They work together as a team to provide a quality program for children.
EDUCATION PROGRAM Each day children will participate in a variety of planned learning experiences supportive of the learning and development of each child. Our classrooms are stocked with materials that invite students to learn as they work with manipulatives and explore their environment. The environment at the center is set to help the child develop a positive self-image, a feeling of self-identity and emotional stability. It is one which stimulates curiosity and fosters creativity; encourages independence and problem solving while still offering the greatest opportunity for the child to learn how to participate successfully as an individual within the group; develop habits which lead to effective learning; and offer experiences which are highly motivational. The children develop social, cognitive, and communication skills as they explore in the fields of science, mathematics, art, music, and the social sciences. Much attention is given to the children's development of motor skills. The activities which are planned are designed to foster child growth and development patterns. While the program is individualized, children explore the environment with groups of children having like needs. Please feel free to call (714) 628-5570 or email for more information.
