    Welcome to PUSD Preschool Program!

    A note from the Preschool Team: Throughout the years, the PUSD Preschool program has been serving both 3 and 4 year old students, creating a structured 2-year program for our students in preparation for TK and Kindergarten. Over the years, the TK program has been extending their enrollment for 4 year olds. By 2025-2026, all 4 year old students will be eligible to enroll in TK. Due to TK’s changes, our Preschool Program will begin to shift their focus and proudly serve all 3 year old students (by 2025-2026).  In addition we will also be updating the website with the new fee schedules in our Programs for the 2023-2024 school year. Stay tuned! 

    2023-2024 Returning Student Registration Interest form will open on January 30, 2023. An email will be sent out to current parents with instructions. Once a child is assigned a class, the parent will receive an email with further enrollment instructions. Please submit responses by Monday, February 6, 2023 8:00 a.m. to ensure your child a spot.

    Our PUSD Preschool

    PUSD Preschool offers preschool opportunities to 3 and *4 year-old children at 23 different school locations in the Poway Unified School District. Our programs focus on the academic and social-emotional needs of young children. We are a developmentally-based program that is guided by the California Preschool Learning Foundations and California Preschool Curriculum Frameworks which allows us to prepare children for entry into PUSD’s Transitional or Traditional Kindergarten classrooms. All classrooms use curriculum and learning materials that are developmentally appropriate and culturally responsive to provide safe and nurturing learning environments for young children that promote their emotional, social, cognitive, and physical development. PUSD Preschool recognizes that parents are a child's first and most influential teachers. A child's learning experiences both at home and at school are the foundation for lifelong feelings of self worth, competence, and a love of learning. Parents are our essential partners in supporting a child's success in our preschool programs.​ Our classrooms have an "open door" policy to encourage families to be involved in their child's early education experiences.

    *Children whose 5th birthday is between 9/2/2023 and 4/2/2024 are eligible for Transitional Kindergarten (TK), not preschool. Please see PUSD's TK Website for information on Transitional Kindergarten.

    State-funded Programs

    PUSD offers State Preschool in two environments: 3-hour or 6-hour programs. Both types of programs meet Monday through Friday and are subject to income eligibility.

    The 6-hour program is operated in collaboration with the federal Head Start program. Families must meet federal income eligibility requirements to be considered for enrollment.

    One free meal is included for all students in the 3-hour classes and 2 meals for the 6-hour classes.

    All classes are licensed by the State Department of Social Services/ Community Care Licensing, and participate in the California Quality Rating and Improvement System (CA-QRIS). Our current QRIS Rating is at the highest levels in all classrooms.
     

    PUSD’s State Preschool program is funded by the California Department of Education, which requires an annual evaluation of childcare and development services. PUSD uses evaluations tools to increase program quality standards and to plan and deliver developmentally appropriate activities, including Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), Desired Results Development Profile (DRDP), Environment Rating Scale (ERS), and annual DRDP Parent Survey.
