EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER

Coming Soon!

Preschool student playing with blocks and smiling

Both Bloomsdale Elementary and Ste. Genevieve Elementary launched a preschool classroom in 2015, with a mission of promoting high-quality early care and education programs for our children. Following the passage of Prop SG, the Early Childhood Center was designed, with a floor plan of 10 classrooms for preschool and Early Childhood Special Education students; spaces for Parents as Teachers, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy; a kitchen, a multipurpose room, a sensory room, a nurse’s office; and more. The new center is scheduled to open for the 2025-2026 school year.

Learn more about the Early Childhood Center construction process here.

Our preschool classrooms currently and will continue to serve students with a certified Early Childhood Preschool Lead Teacher and a Preschool Teacher Assistant.
