Meaningful relationships form the heart of high quality care. The program is committed to building a strong and caring community between children, teachers, parents, administrators and other involved members by fostering relationships that are supportive, respectful and nurturing.

The Center is staffed with a Director, two Program Coordinators, a Family Coordinator, Business Officer / Staffing Coordinator, Grant Coordinator, Enrollment Coordinator, 26 Lead Teachers and Teachers, and many UCSB students who work as classroom assistants, volunteers and interns. All lead teachers hold either Children's Center permits or Master Teacher permits issued by the State of California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. Teachers also have educational backgrounds in early childhood education and/or child development and hold a permit. The teaching staff has been carefully chosen for their outstanding training, ability and experience with children.

If you have any questions about our program or feel we may be of help with general child care or parenting issues, please feel free to contact us.
