Early Learning Center
Welcome to the Cesar Chavez Early Learning Center!
In partnership with the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District, The Cesar Chavez Early Learning Center will offer all-in-one early care and education services in San Jose. Families will get a continuum of support for infant, toddler, preschool, Transitional Kindergarten, and Kindergarten children.
Early Learning prepares children for school and life. The focus is the intentionality of high-quality early childhood education with well-planned early learning environments and positive experiences.
Children are born curious and ready to learn. We build confidence and self-efficacy early in this first stage of a child's education. It starts with the Cesar Chavez Early Learning Center to prepare the youngest for school, career, college, and life. Building children's complementary foundational skills in every important developmental area; social-emotional, cognitive, language and literacy, mathematical, scientific reasoning, and physical development. Alum Rock, Kidango, families, and other community partners have a common understanding of the whole child, whole family development, and value equity, diversity, and inclusion for all children.
