The Napa County Office of Education’s Early Learning Services offers direct child care and preschool programs that nurture the growth, curiosity, and confidence of young children while supporting families in their daily lives. Through our California State Preschool Program (CSPP) and General Child Care (CCTR), we provide part-day and full-day preschool as well as full-day infant and toddler care in safe, engaging environments where children can explore, play, and learn.
Since 1969, NCOE has remained deeply committed to expanding access to quality early learning and supporting families throughout Napa County. We offer programs in Napa, American Canyon, and Calistoga, helping children build early skills in communication, literacy, math, and social-emotional development that lay the foundation for lifelong success.
Our dedicated teachers work closely with families to understand and support each child’s individual needs, creating welcoming spaces where every child feels valued, capable, and ready to thrive.
