Subsidized Programs
Subsidized programs serve children birth to five years old from families whose income is below a specified income bracket. These programs include the California State Preschool Program (state-funded) and Head Start/Early Head Start (federally-funded). Programs may be administered through school districts, colleges and/or community action agencies.

Private
Private child development centers are non subsidized, which means they do not receive funding from the state or federal government for their daily operations. Fees for care are typically paid for by the family or on behalf of the family through vouchers. These centers are typically operated by various groups including non profit organizations, for profit business, faith based organizations, military and public or private sector employers.

Family Child Care Providers
Family Child Care providers care for children in their own home and are licensed through the California Department of Social Services’ Community Care Licensing Division. Providers will either have a “small” (up to eight children) or “large” (12 -14 children) license. Care is often provided for children of different ages. Fees for care are typically paid for by the family or on behalf of the family through vouchers.
