California State Preschool Program (CSPP) is a state-funded program which offers full-day or part-day developmentally appropriate preschool instruction for eligible three- and four-year-old children. Napa County Office of Education has directly operated CSPP programs since 1969, and we are proud that we are one of just a few County Offices of Education to do so. We believe that the more we invest in children, the better they will do.

Today we operate nine California State Preschool programs, which serve approximately 300 children in Calistoga, American Canyon, St. Helena, Yountville, and Napa. Our preschool programs provide children with skills in communication, literacy, math, and social development, which help prepare for and enrich their school experience. Our teachers are both nurturing and highly-trained, enabling them to meet each child’s individual needs.

Our environments and curriculum are designed based on the most current knowledge available in the field of child development. As a public school system, we operate within the parameters of both State and Federal law. Our programs are aligned with the State Department of Education’s Desired Results system. The outcomes for children and families as defined by Desired Results are:

  • Children are personally and socially competent.
  • Children are effective learners.
  • Children show physical and motor competence.
  • Children are safe and healthy.
  • Families support their children’s learning and development.
  • Families achieve their goals.

Digital Early Learning

NCOE CSPP programs integrate Digital Early Learning into the curriculum for all preschool students. The core of NCOE’s Digital Early Learning program is Footsteps2Brilliance. These engaging e-books and learning games help prepare preschool age children for kindergarten with a strong developmental foundation.

Inclusive Classes

The Napa County Office of Education’s Early Childhood Services Department is proud to serve children of all abilities together in each of our preschool classrooms. We believe that when children with special education needs are included in typical classrooms, all children involved benefit.  Inclusive classrooms offer all children the benefit of learning from each other. Children learn to experience everyone’s strengths and celebrate everyone’s differences.  Inclusive classrooms provide all children with the opportunity to explore and develop their unique abilities and gifts.

Full Day Preschools

Our full-day preschool programs are open nine to eleven hours per day, and operate all year long to meet the needs of working families. Eligibility for full-day preschool is based on family size, income, and need, which is defined as employment, job training, or job search activities. Depending on income, services may be free of charge or have nominal fees based on a sliding scale.
