Starr King Parent-Child Workshop is a nonprofit, cooperative early childhood program in Santa Barbara that provides play-based preschool and parent-education classes for families; it serves children who are at least 2 years 6 months up to about five years of age.
Starr King is a cooperative, non-profit early childhood program that centers parent participation alongside professional staff. The program serves young children beginning at 2 years 6 months up to approximately five years and emphasizes play-based, hands-on learning in a campus setting.
The program uses a play-based, child-centered approach that focuses on whole-child development, creativity, problem-solving and social skills through exploratory and hands-on activities. Parent education is a structured element of the program, including weekly adult classes that accompany the preschool lab.
Families share responsibility for operating the cooperative; parent participation in the preschool lab and an affiliated parent-education class is an integral part of the model. The program is organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a member-elected board and maintains an academic affiliation with Santa Barbara City College's School of Extended Learning for parent-education coursework.
Founded in 1949, the program describes a long history of serving local families and notes that its community supports operations through volunteer work, committees, fundraising and donations.
