La Academia de Bahia
La Academia de Bahia is our part time program serving children 3-5 years of age Monday-Friday 9:00AM-12:00PM. To be considered for enrollment in our program, families need to sign up to our waiting list. We advise that you call or fill out our interest form early on to have a better opportunity to enroll in our program.
We have two different lists, one for subsidized families and one for full cost families.
Subsidized families
Eligibility
To be eligible for our part time program at La Academia de Bahia, subsidized families need to qualify in terms of income and family size.
Income: We follow the California Department of Education’s Child Care and Development Income Rankings to determine where a family falls on our list.
We do not ask for proof of income until time of enrollment. Subsidized families are placed on our list according to their ranking number, not by when they placed their child’s name on our list.
There is no fee to sign up on our waiting list for subsidized families but we do ask that all information be current and updated whenever there are any changes.
If you would like to put your child on our waiting list, or if you are not sure if you qualify as a subsidized family please give us a call at (510) 525-1463.
