About
About Ocean Beach
We offer an inclusive preschool program at the Ocean Beach Early Learning Center by braiding funding to serve preschoolers in the same classrooms and in four part-day preschool sessions that operate Monday through Friday with Wednesdays as a non-class day so that teachers can plan. Please review the following options to see which one best meets your child and family’s needs:
- Community Program: A sliding fee scale is used to determine preschool cost. The Community Program is for children ages 3-5 years old.
- Early Childhood Education and Assistance (ECEAP): A comprehensive preschool program that provides free services and support to eligible children ages 3-5 years old and their families.
- Early Childhood Special Education: Evaluation and services to children ages 3-5 with developmental delays.
Our combined preschool classrooms promote active, play-based learning for diverse groups of children. Children are accepted into ECEAP based on their age, family income, and other developmental or environmental risk factors. Read more about the ECEAP program.

ECEAP Program
The ECEAP Program
ECEAP includes preschool education, health services coordination, and family support services. Children who participate in the program learn to manage their feelings, get along with others and follow classroom routines. They build the beginning skills for reading, math and science. The program works closely with parents to support their children’s health and education and to meet family goals. ECEAP also helps families access medical and dental care and social services.
The program includes:
- Preschool instruction
- Developmental screenings and referrals
- Nutritious meals and snacks
- Health and dental screenings
- Home Visits
- Parent Leadership Opportunities
- Family Events
- Kindergarten Readiness Activities
- Transportation provided in some service areas
Children are accepted into ECEAP based on their age, family income, and other developmental or environmental risk factors.
