    Located on the Loma Vista Immersion Academy campus, Bright Futures Preschool is a half-day preschool program funded by the California Department of Education’s Child Development Division and operated by Old Adobe Union School District's Child Development Department. We are a Quality Counts program and are designed to meet the developmental needs of three and four-year old children and to support their readiness for TK and/or Kindergarten.

    Hours of Operation: Bright Futures Preschool operates (5) days per week, 180 calendar days of the school year. We follow the Old Adobe Union School District calendar each year and are open for the same 180 school days as our TK-6th grade students. Our program is a half-day program that runs from 8:45am to 11:45am each day.

    About Bright Futures Preschool

    Our goal is to provide preschoolers and their families with the tools they need to support each student's social-emotional, physical, cognitive, academic, and creative development, and to celebrate each child and their full identity. We are guided by the California Preschool Learning Foundations, California Desired Results, the California Teaching Pyramid, and NAEYC’s Four Goals of Anti-Bias Education. Our preschool teachers work closely with OAUSD kindergarten teachers to enhance the preschool curriculum & to prepare each student for success in TK and/or Kindergarten.

    Who We Serve: We provide a developmentally-appropriate preschool program for children ages 3 to 5 years or until entering kindergarten. Eligible children have their 3rd or 4th birthday on or before December 1st of the current program year. Children who have their 3rd birthday after December 2 may be enrolled on or after their third birthday. More about eligibility here. 

    The first 24 eligible children, according to the criteria established by the California Department of Education Early Learning and Care Division, who fill out their application information completely and qualify under the said guidelines by June 30 each year will be accepted into the Bright Futures Preschool program for the upcoming school year. All applicants are placed on our in-house eligibility list, which follows mandated California Department of Education Child Development Division guidelines, and will be notified when an opening occurs. More about enrolling here.
