About San Marcos Parent-Child Workshop
The San Marcos Parent-Child Workshop is a licensed, cooperative preschool and parent education program instructed by the Continuing Education division of Santa Barbara Community College.
It is operated by parents under the supervision of an Instructor and the Assistant Director educated in Early Childhood Education and Parent Education. Parents from each family participate actively one morning a week in the preschool setting. Parents also attend a weekly evening parent education class at the school, where a curriculum of child development and parenting issues are discussed and speakers from the community share their expertise.
The school is located on the San Marcos High School campus within its own site. The program interfaces with the high school early childhood education class where students spend one hour and forty five minutes daily at the preschool.
The purpose of the preschool is to introduce children ages 2.5-5 years to a high quality preschool experience, using developmentally appropriate practices. The nurturing, loving environment makes an ideal first school experience for the children and brings out the best in parents.
