Community Care Preschool

What these mean, and where they come from

Medium means the middle half of Bay Area’s 439 licensed centers by state-licensed capacity: 31 to 75 children. Small is 8 to 30; large is 76 to 312.

How they teach

HighScope

“The High Scope philosophy embraces the belief that every child is naturally curious and brimming with potential.”In their words, July 2026.communitycarepreschool.com

One of 5 Bay Area providers that describe a HighScope approach, out of 164 that describe any approach at all.

Shortlist doesn’t have these yet: cost, ratios and staff, a typical day, sick and biting policies.
