Before & After School Child Care

Before- and After-School Child Care

2023-24 School Year Update

Glendale Unified child care opportunities are currently full. Our Child Development and Child Care (CDCC) office is working diligently to increase our capacity by hiring more staff, finding community partners, and updating our attendance regularly. As spaces become available, we will contact families on the waiting list to enroll.

Once you complete an application, your child's name will remain on our waiting list. If we are able to offer you a spot, we will reach out to you directly. In the meantime, we encourage you to consider securing child care elsewhere.

We appreciate your patience as we try to meet the needs of every family!
