Description

CSB provides comprehensive services for approximately 2,100 children, ages 0-5 and their families each day. This includes education, health, disabilities and mental health services as well as nutrition and family support services and resources to all CSB families enrolled in the program. CSB maintains strict staffing ratios at all 15 centers, with a 1:6 adult: child ratio for preschool children; 1:4 for toddlers and 1:3 for infants under 18 months of age. CSB’s dedicated staff are chosen based on their ability to provide nurturing care to young children, their formal education in Early Care and Education, background and experience and possession of a California Teacher or Associate Teacher Permit issued by the California Consortium on Teacher Credentialing.

CSB strives to ensure the classroom and program support staff is reflective of the children and families in the program. CSB ensures that staff is able to communicate with children and parents in their first language. If this is not possible, translation services are available at every location.
