Preschool programs In Big Bear region seeking students
Enrollment is now being accepted for state-funded preschool
programs in the Big Bear Lake area operated by the San Bernardino County
Superintendent of Schools (SBCSS) for low-income families who cannot afford
to send their children to preschool.
The preschools at North Shore at Big Bear Lake and Baldwin Lane at
Sugarloaf offer comprehensive child development programs and hold classes
three hours per weekday, which began on Aug. 4. To get on an eligibility
list, contact KidsNCare¹s Centralized Eligibility List at (800) 722-1091.
In addition, there will be a new Big Bear State Preschool program at
Big Bear Elementary, 40940 Pennsylvania Ave. in Big Bear Lake, that will
begin in early fall.
Eligibility for the programs is based on income that will be
determined on a sliding scale. A family of three with a monthly gross income
of $3,722 or less would meet the eligibility requirements, as would a family
of six with a gross income of $5,459. Those enrolling their children do not
have to be employed.
There are morning and afternoon classes with lunch provided for both
sessions. Students need to be 4 years old by Dec. 2 of the school year to
receive first priority. Students need to be 3 years old by Dec. 2 of the
school year to receive second priority.
Parents with children attending the preschool will be encouraged to
volunteer in the classroom. For more information, contact the County
Schools¹ State Preschool program at (909) 777-0776.
