The Albany Children's Center preschool program serves approximately 75 children. We have opportunities for families who are low income eligible to receive subsidize child care services and we offer a full cost program as well. Subsidized rates are on a sliding fee scale based on gross income and family size. Full cost tuition is $1950 a month.  Our preschool program is child centered, play based, and uses The Creative Curriculum® for preschool to guide student learning throughout the year. We support children in their social/emotional, cognitive, motor, and language development. Each day the children are engaged in literacy through activities such as, music, dance and circle time. Our qualified staff help children develop a sense of self worth, while supporting their own individual learning styles. We have a large outdoor play area for children to explore, run, jump, climb and ride bikes. The preschool serves a hot family style lunch (such as penne pasta and chicken and rice) as well as breakfast and an afternoon snack. For Albany residents we provide a Special Day Class (SDC) for children with special rights. It is a half day program which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. For enrollment information for the SDC classroom please contact Special Education services at 510-559-6536.
