It operates a cooperative morning program with caregiver participation, an afternoon program staffed by professional educators, and seasonal summer camp.
San Marcos Parent-Child Workshop is a licensed, non-profit cooperative preschool and parent-education program. The program serves families in Santa Barbara and Goleta and has operated since 1959.
The program is play-based and exploratory, with an emphasis on active, hands-on learning that supports social, emotional, physical, cognitive and creative development. Parent education is an integral part of the program and includes a weekly evening class provided in partnership with the Santa Barbara City College School of Extended Learning.
The cooperative model requires caregiver participation in weekly workdays, attendance at parent-education meetings, committee work and periodic environment days. Day-to-day operations are managed by member families and a Board of Directors elected from the caregiver membership.

Drop-in care is available by pre-approval; fees are listed separately for morning and afternoon drop-ins.
Extended afternoon care available for registered children beyond the regular afternoon program hours.
A cooperative morning preschool that follows a co-op model with required caregiver participation; caregivers volunteer one morning per week and attend a weekly parent-education class.
