    Summary

    The California Department of Education (CDE), Early Education and Support Division (EESD) announces the availability of expansion funding for 2,500 part-day/part-year slots to existing California State Preschool Program (CSPP) contractors with the intent of providing increased access to children with exceptional needs, as defined in California Education Code (EC), Section 8208(l), in new and existing classrooms/sites. Existing sites must be approved in the Child Development Management Information System (CDMIS). New classrooms/sites will be required to provide proof of licensing or exemption from licensure in accordance with Health and Safety Code, Section 1596.792 before services can begin.

    The CSPP funds will be used to provide services for age-eligible three and four-year-old California children. Pursuant to California Education Code (EC) Section 8208(ai)(aj), CSPP age-eligible definitions are as follows:
    • Three-year-old children are children who will have their third birthday on or before September 1 of the fiscal year they are being served.
    • Four-year-old children are children who will have their fourth birthday on or before September 1 of the fiscal year they are being served.

    The CDE will be allocating funds according to the percentage of three, four, and five year olds in each county who have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) using data from the California Special Education Management Information System database.

    Contractors shall request the number of proposed slots to increase access for children with exceptional needs, as defined in EC Section 8208(l). These slots can be filled with otherwise eligible children if contractors are unable to enroll children with exceptional needs.
