Our talented and incredible students make us proud of what we do every day in the classroom. For information regarding our 30 schools, please go directly to the school’s website for more information. We recognize that there is always room for improvement and much work remains. We welcome your input as we begin another school year in the District.

Child Development
ABC Unified School District’s Child Development Department provides programs for students two months of age through middle school. A variety of teachers, paraeducators (aides), and support staff serve students in almost every school in the district.
Tracy Infant Center houses classes for students as young as two months old. This day care center runs for the entire school day and
has four classrooms. All classrooms have a teacher and one or more paraeducators to maintain the adult to student ratio. Infants 2 - 17 months have a ratio of one adult to every three children. Toddlers age 18 months - 3 years have a ratio of one adult to four children. All classes are small with a maximum of 12 students at any one time. Parents who send their children to this program tend to be young and attending school or looking for work. Families must qualify for Tracy Infant Center. Students three years and older can choose from three other Child Development Programs. The district offers State Preschool and Head Start programs as well as an Extended Day Program for school-age children. Children who qualify for a preschool program receive either breakfast or lunch at the beginning of the class. They are taught many skills to be ready for life and school. Life skills practice includes washing hands, brushing teeth, and getting along with a small group of other children. School readiness includes learning skills needed to be prepared for school such as writing, recognizing numbers and letters, and the sounds letters make. All of this is provided in a fun environment where children learn best. They also have outdoor play time in well-supervised and maintained facilities.
State Preschool offers both morning and afternoon sessions at four sites: Artesia High School Children’s Center and Palms
Elementary School are located in Lakewood. Furgeson Elementary School and Hawaiian Elementary School are located in the City of Hawaiian Gardens.
Head Start offers morning sessions at six elementary schools serving the cities of Artesia, Bellflower, Cerritos, Hawaiian Gardens,
Lakewood, and Norwalk at Aloha, Carver, Kennedy, Melbourne, Niemes, and Willow Elementary Schools. In addition to everything offered to our state preschool programs, parent involvement and education are included in Head Start.
Extended Day Program
provides extended learning time for children at many of our elementary schools and middle schools. The Extended Day Program provides time for students to complete homework, but it is so much more than that. Students are provided snack and outdoor exercise, and they have special content and curriculum delivered by a Child Development teacher and paraeducator. To find out more about any of these programs, please call or visit us near Gahr High School at: ABC Unified School District, Child Development Programs | District Office West | (562) 229-7985 11011 Artesia Boulevard, Cerritos, CA 90703
