Educare California at Silicon Valley is an early learning center that serves children birth through age five and their families, with programs targeted to the Santee neighborhood and the larger Bay Area community. The center operates 12 full‑day, year‑round classrooms on site and provides family supports and community‑facing resources; the on‑site classrooms provide care for about 168 children, and programmatic and outreach activities serve many more children and families each year.
The program uses the Educare model, a research‑based framework that emphasizes data use, embedded professional development, high‑quality teaching practices, and intensive family engagement. Instruction is full day and year‑round, focuses on social‑emotional and cognitive development, and includes language, numeracy, art, problem solving and play‑based learning.
Classroom staffing includes lead teachers with bachelor’s degrees supported by teacher and teaching assistants, with intentionally small class sizes for individualized attention. Family engagement specialists support families through assessments, one‑on‑one meetings and group workshops, and several evidence‑based parent education series and workshops are offered through the Family Resource Center.
Classroom services for children ages 0–3 emphasize building social‑emotional skills and early language development; the program notes that earlier and longer enrollment is associated with stronger language and social‑emotional gains.
Preschool programming for ages 4–5 focuses on school‑readiness skills including language, math and social‑emotional development, grounded in research on early childhood learning.
A Transitional Kindergarten class is available; families are directed to contact the district for enrollment details.
