Child Studies Department

Under Construction

Overview

General Information

We have three non-profit on-campus programs designed specifically for students, college staff, faculty, and local community families with young children.  Each program is licensed through the Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Title 22 regulations and administered through the Child Studies Department at West Valley College.  Currently, grant subsidy for the programs are received through the Office of Child Development in the State Department of Education.  Therefore, Title five (5) regulations are also followed.   The programs have also been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)

The programs are part of the Child Studies Department and are uniquely involved in the academic life of the college by serving as teacher training and observation site for studies and parents.  The programs are operated on a non-discriminatory basis, according equal opportunity for access to services and employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry or sexual preference.  No religious instruction of any kind is provided.  Children enrolled according to admission and eligibility policies or waiting list procedures established and monitored based on grant funding requirements.

Our early childhood program consists of three classrooms: the Acorn Room and the Oak Room are designed for children two to five years of age and the Redwood Room is designed for five to seven year olds.  The program operates from 7:30am to 4:00pm Monday through Friday.

For more information about the program, ratios, and other informaiton please refer to the parent handbook.
