COVID-19 UPDATE

No matter what the 2020-21 school year brings we will always put the health and safety of all of the students, families, and staff at Santa Cruz Children's School at the top of the priority list. Our distance learning program kicked off on 9/9/2020 and it was so nice to see everyone's smiling face after a long summer!

We want nothing more in the world than to be back in school with our students and will use this time to prepare our space, polices, and procedures to open for in person instruction safely when the time comes. We are also committed to providing online options for staff and families for as long as they choose to learn from home. Santa Cruz County has moved into the Red Tier on the CA Blueprint for Safe Reopening which means we can start exploring phasing in some in person instruction. We are also working on plans for onsite school age childcare to help families who need that support. We expect to begin rolling out some of these plans toward the end of the month/the beginning of October.

We are currently accepting applications for the 2020-2021 school year. Please don't hesitate to contact us with questions or to schedule a tour.
