Recreation and Parks Preschool Grants

At a glance

• What: two state grants for subsidized preschool at the Department of Recreation and Parks' licensed preschools, both for Fiscal Year 2026-27: $2,531,358 from the California Department of Social Services (Contract CCTR-6104, Council File 25-1536) and $950,743 from the California State Preschool Program (Contract CSPP-6167, Council File 25-1210). Neither requires matching funds.
• Where it stands: both adopted by the City Council on 2026-10-28, 14 ayes, 1 no (Padilla), subject to the Mayor's approval. Acceptance is retroactive; the department's general manager is the agent for the agreements and may accept later amendments up to $25,000 per award.
• Next: the department sets up the accounts in its grant fund and runs the programs.
