SUSD Collaborative Preschool Registration Information

We are extremely excited to be sharing with our community that the Saugus Union School District will be opening a fee-based collaborative preschool at Bouquet Canyon Early Learning Academy this January 2024.

Our collaborative preschool encourages active, playful exploration and experimentation. With play as an integral part of the curriculum, Bouquet Canyon Early Learning Academy uses purposeful teaching to ensure children gain knowledge and skills in a place where all children are individually assisted to move along a pathway of healthy learning and development. The staff for our collaborative classrooms include an early childhood preschool teacher, early childhood special education teacher, and paraprofessionals.

We have two options for families:

Five Days a Week Morning Preschool (Monday through Friday) - Provides daily opportunities for students to develop age-appropriate social and academic skills with their peers in order to prepare for success as future scholars.

• 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. (snack included)
• Three-year-old class; Four-year-old class
• Cost: $432/month
• Location: Bouquet Canyon Early Learning Academy; 28110 Wellston Dr, Santa Clarita, California 91350
• Students must turn three by September 1, 2023

Three Days a Week Afternoon Preschool (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) - Provides opportunities for students to develop age-appropriate social and academic skills in order to prepare for success as future scholars.

*If cost is a barrier for you and you are interested in having your child engage in a preschool environment, please be on the lookout in April 2024 for registration information regarding our free income-eligible California State Preschool Programs we host at three school sites for age three and four-year-old students.

If you would like to submit a contract request for one of our preschool programs mentioned above, please follow the steps below beginning on Friday, October 20, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. Our Child Development Program (CDP) team will review contract requests beginning on November 9, 2023. We will then notify families of acceptance via email provided in the Eleyo platform on a first-come, first-served basis. We highly encourage you to set your alarm and be prepared to register at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, October 20 if you are interested in having your child attend one of these programs.

Once we fill all preschool spots, we will send a Parent Square message informing families that the program is at capacity, and everyone not notified at that time will remain on a waitlist (in pending status) until a spot becomes available.

We look forward to having your children as part of our inaugural Collaborative Preschool - Bouquet Canyon Early Learning Academy program!
