Boulder Creek Preschool is an Enterprise Elementary School District program at 505 Springer Drive on the Boulder Creek Elementary campus in Redding, serving children in kindergarten readiness programming. CCLD-licensed with capacity of 24, the center draws praise from parents for its dedicated teachers and support staff, and its school-based location facilitates a seamless transition to elementary education.
