About

Storytellers CA state preschool program: Storyteller receives funding for 20 children to attend a full-day preschool program at Storyteller Childrens Center. The majority of the children must be 4 years of age before the academic school year begins on July 1. A minority number of 3 year-old children are allowed. The funding received from CSPP covers approximately 2/3 of Storytellers cost to provide the program, and the balance is covered by private donations. The majority of families of the children in the CSPP classroom fall below the federal poverty line, however CSPP allows families to pay a small prorated family fee to attend the program if they earn above poverty wages. Children in the CSPP receive all the therapeutic and program benefits described in schedule O of this document.
