Early Childhood Education

Azusa Unified School District’s California State Preschool Program (CSPP) focuses on nurturing children’s social-emotional, intellectual, and creative development to prepare them for Transitional Kindergarten or Kindergarten. CSPP accepts children who will be at least 3 by December 1 of the current year, or as soon as the child turns 3. Please call 626-815-4724 for more information.

Dual Immersion (DI) Preschool and DI TK programs’ primary focuses, age requirements, and program hours align with our other preschool and TK programs. The DI programs follow a 90/10 Spanish/English model. Students who enroll in AUSD’s Dual Immersion Preschool and TK Programs will learn Spanish through a research-based curriculum that prepares them for the K–12th grades.

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is a bridge between preschool and kindergarten. TK prepares students both academically and socially for kindergarten. TK is a full-day program.
