About this preschool

Vista Square State Preschool is a free, high-quality preschool program operated by Chula Vista Elementary School District for families within district boundaries who meet income eligibility requirements. The program is grounded in three core pillars—Love, Talk, and Play—to create nurturing, inclusive learning environments.

Philosophy
Programs are grounded in CVESD's core pillars: Love (strong, nurturing relationships where every child feels safe, valued, and belongs), Talk (rich conversations supporting language development and meaningful connections), and Play (hands-on, joyful, play-based exploration and discovery). The approach supports the whole child and lays a foundation for lifelong learning.
