The Julia A. Lopez Child Development Center, a comprehensive California State Preschool Program funded by the California State Dept. of Education for children between the ages of 3 and 5 years old, was recently awarded funding for General Child Care and Development (CCTR) for Fiscal Year 2024-25.

Orange Cove, CA, February 21, 2024 --(PR.com)-- The Julia A. Lopez Child Development Center has been providing State Subsidized Childcare Services for children aged 3 to 5 years old for parents or guardians who are working, attending college or a trade school, training, or seeking employment, offering full or part time services since 1997.
With State-Certified teachers, nutritious meals, year-round open instruction through summer, field trips, and participation in community events, the children receive the best care, and pre-kindergarten and transitional kindergarten education possible.
Now that care is expanding to include infants as young as one year old.

By the end of January 2024, Target Eight received word that the application was approved, and the center will receive the funding beginning July 1, 2024.
In preparation, the Julia A. Lopez Child Development Center would like to extend an invitation to those parents needing childcare for their infants and toddlers. Parents are encouraged to contact the center, provide contact information, and pick up applications for enrollment for some time in August 2024.
