Get your 3 or 4 year old children ready for Kindergarten!
The Lake County Office of Education Child Development Program has you covered for preschool around the lake! LCOE has State Preschool programs at 8 elementary schools for 3 hours a day, morning and/or afternoon.
State Preschool programs are either free to income qualified families, or require a share-of-cost based on income and figured on a sliding scale. Children receive breakfast or lunch daily.
We currently have 3 hour programs at Burns Valley, Eastlake, Kelseyville, Lakeport, Lower Lake, Middletown and Pomo Elementary schools. Our programs integrate literacy, math, art, science, sensory exploration, imaginative play, and physical activity so that your child receives the optimal balanced learning experience.
Here is a sample schedule of what a 3 hour preschool day might consist of for your child;
8:00-8:15 Hand wash, sign in, books with parents and staff
8:15-8:30 Greeting circle (includes oral language/poetry or science links)
