Cal-Tot Child Care Center provides full-day daycare and preschool care for children from infancy through kindergarten-preparation ages. The program is operated as a parent-run nonprofit and organizes children into age-based classrooms with an open curriculum that emphasizes social, intellectual and physical development.


Cal-Tot Child Care Center serves children from about six weeks up through pre-kindergarten. The center is run as a parent-operated nonprofit and organizes care in distinct age-group classrooms to support developmentally appropriate activities and routines.
The program uses an open curriculum with materials on low shelves and activities designed for both group and individual needs. The infant/toddler approach references the RIE (Resources for Infant Educators) perspective, treating young children as active participants in learning. Preschool and pre-K activities include listening and reading skills, body awareness, language arts, science, social studies, mathematical concepts and arts exploration.
Governance includes a parent board and opportunities for parent participation. Families are required to opt in for their child’s name to appear in newsletters and must give permission for photographs; photos are not shared publicly without consent. The center maintains classroom wish lists and occasional fundraising and donation options to support supplies.
