Welcome to the Child and Family Center at CSULB
Renovations of the newly remodeled state-of-the-art center remain on schedule, and we highly anticipate welcoming all of you upon our reopening in January 2026.
The Child and Family Center is a year-round program operating Monday-Friday, 7:30 am- 5:30 pm, and will serve children ages 3 months to 5 years old. The infant classrooms will serve children ages 3 months to 23 months. The toddler classrooms will serve children ages 18 months to 3 years. The preschool classrooms will serve toilet-trained children ages 30 months – 5 years.
The Center will maintain an active waitlist to streamline the enrollment process. Parents will not need to reapply to the waitlist annually, ensuring a consistent and efficient system. Enrollment eligibility and prioritization will be determined based on the application date and the following criteria:
Priority Level | Group Affiliation | Description |
| 1st Priority | Student Parents | Students currently enrolled at the University |
| 2nd Priority | Faculty and Staff | Faculty and Staff of the University, including their descendants |
| 3rd Priority | Community | Members of the broader Community seeking childcare. |
AFFILIATION VERIFICATION
Parents will be required to provide proof of affiliation at the time of enrollment and annually during the enrollment recertification process. Student parents may use a copy of their class schedule as acceptable verification.
If you are interested in enrolling your child at the Child and Family Center, please complete a Waitlist Application (coming soon) along with the application fee of $25.00. Applications submitted without payment will be considered incomplete. The Center only accepts payments online via CASHNet.
