Priority Order for Services and Waiting List Placement for First 5 Program

Section 8263(b) of the California Education Code establishes priority order for State Preschool services.  First priority is given to children who are recipients of Child Protective Services (CPS).  After CPS, the children who are next in line for admission priority are income eligible four-year-olds who are placed in the order from those having the lowest to the highest ranking on the Central Eligibility List.

When all four year olds are placed, the next in line are the income eligible three-year-olds who are placed from those having the lowest to the highest ranking on the Central Eligibility List.  When two or more families are ranked at the same level, the family with the earliest date of application will be admitted first.  The California Department of Education mandates that all state preschools must use the Central Eligibility List to determine the applicant's initial order of admission or position on the prioritized waiting list.  Please Note: If an opening at a particular site is offered to a parent on the prioritized waiting list, and the parent declines placement in order to wait for an opening at another site, that parent may lose his/her place on the prioritized waiting list.
 
Choosing a Site
Once it has been determined that an applicant is eligible for the preschool program, the parent may choose any site where an opening exists.  Each preschool serves a district-wide population; there are no neighborhood boundaries for preschools.  It must be noted, however, that enrollment in a preschool located at a particular elementary school in no way ensures that the child will be able to attend kindergarten at that elementary school.  Our goal is to place you at the elementary school site you will most likely be attending for kindergarten.
