Cheerful Helpers Therapeutic School
This preschool and kindergarten program is ideal for children, ages 3 - 6, who have learning or emotional issues and who are getting ready for or have been transitioned into stable/permanent placements (through adoption, reunification, guardianship, etc.). The program serves children Monday - Friday, 8 am to 1 pm, and accepts Medi-Cal. The program seeks to promote healthy attachments between the child and their caregivers, therefore, parents/guardians are expected to participate in weekly family therapy sessions.
