The MAAC Child Development Program (Head Start, Early Head Start & State Preschool) includes structured learning activities, socialization, and play. The program offers full-day and part-day options in both center-based and family child care settings, including blended Head Start and State Preschool enrollment at specific full-day sites. Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers participate in these activities in either a full-day center-based program, a family child care program, or a part-day extended center-based program.

The program serves eligible families in San Diego County with children from birth to five years old, including dual language learners, children and parents with disabilities, and families experiencing homelessness or other challenges. MAAC staff are described as responsive to each child’s and family’s unique circumstances and experiences, offering family-focused resources and support services in areas such as education, health, nutrition, mental health, and social services.
