Early Education Services Application and Fee Schedule For Academic Year Programs
UCSC early education programs give priority to low-income students who qualify for California Department of Education subsidies (free or sliding-scale). Fee-for-service spaces at a reduced rate may be available to student parents whose income exceeds CDE requirements. A separate waitlist is maintained for fee-for-service students.
Early application is encouraged. Open, print, complete and return the Child Care Waitlist Application (PDF) to the Early Education Services office located at Family Student Housing. Call (831) 459-2967 to schedule a tour.
