Ages 3–4yrState PreschoolFree to Qualifying FamiliesPart-Day Program
SBCSS Siegrist State Preschool, located at 15922 Willow Street in Hesperia, is a state-funded program operated by the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, serving ages 3–4 in preparation for kindergarten entry. Licensed continuously since 1995 with no citations across recent inspections, it offers a project-based Creative Curriculum aligned to California learning foundations and uses the Desired Results Developmental Profile to track progress. Free enrollment for income-qualifying families removes a significant barrier to access, and both morning and afternoon three-hour sessions accommodate families seeking part-day preschool. Capacity is limited to 32 children, and as a part-time program tied to the academic calendar, it serves as an educational program rather than full childcare for working families.
