The Calabasas Preschool is dedicated to the enrichment of young minds. Our preschool's vision is to prepare our students for kindergarten with a focus on pre-reading literacy skills. We are proud to create an atmosphere where students thrive as we nourish young curiosity
Our Mission
The Santa Cruz Valley Unified School District preschool program staff believe that every child is unique. We strive to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating learning atmosphere that supports and embraces diversity. We are dedicated to promoting the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of each child.
National Accreditation
All SCVUSD #35 preschools are nationally accredited by the National Association of Education for Young Children (NAEYC). Only preschools who meet the highest standards and very specific requirements receive this type of accreditation. It is a great honor to receive accreditation from this organization!
