About Preschool
Fresno Unified School District offers a preschool program for all children who turn three or four years old by December 1st of the school year in which you are enrolling and live within the Fresno Unified School District.

Families can choose from part-day or full-day options. Dual immersion programs are also offered for three and four-year-olds.
Your child will be in a warm and nurturing environment that focuses on social-emotional health, oral language development, early literacy, early math, and visual arts. All of our classes are aligned with the California Preschool Learning Foundations. These foundations guide us in creating playful, purposeful teaching that helps children gain knowledge and skills. We assist each child in moving along a pathway of healthy learning and development.
“My child loves coming to school. Whatever the teacher is teaching, he will tell us about it at home.“
Dual Immersion
From the earliest months and years of life, all children are capable of learning more than one language — and all children benefit from early exposure to multiple languages.
The Dual Language Immersion Program brings dual language learner students together with children whose home language is English. Together, the students become bilingual. In preschool through first grade, instruction is 90% in Spanish and 10% in English. Learn more.
