Subsidized Programs
-
At Catalyst Kids, we believe in providing responsive services for communities, families, & children. Offering programs that are accessible is at the heart of what we do. Many our centers offer California state-subsidized Infant/Toddler, Preschool, Before & Afterschool, and migrant childcare programs.
We Are Here to Help
It is our goal to be supportive of all families; including parents who are in school, foster families, homeless families, and those working or seeking employment.
We welcome all children and families into our programs, knowing that diversity creates beauty, interest, and strength.
