Arroyo Viejo Child Development Center
The Early Childhood Education program at Arroyo Viejo Child Development Center strives to build a solid foundation of success for all children and their families. They are committed to providing each child in our program access to a high-quality educational experience. Their promise to provide kindergarten readiness will be accomplished through instruction, assessment and curriculum that is developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate. The curriculum includes instruction in early literacy, math, science, art, physical development, and social/emotional development and is rooted in the California Preschool Learning Foundations.
