Welcome to the Cutler-Orosi Joint Unified School District (COJUSD) Preschool Program! Our mission is to provide a nurturing, inclusive, and enriching learning environment that supports the growth and development of each child. Through developmentally appropriate instruction, hands-on activities, and a focus on social-emotional learning, we aim to build a strong foundation for lifelong success.
Our CUBS benefit from a 3 hour program, offered in either the morning or the afternoon. As we navigate through the state-adopted curriculum, students develop social-emotional, language, literacy, cognitive, and physical skills. Students are encouraged to explore and create as they learn about the world around them. A nutritious lunch is provided for all students. Additionally, parents are encouraged to attend our monthly education courses catered to meet the needs of families with young children.
