ECS 4th & D Head Start in Chula Vista operates under Community Care License #376700787 as a federally funded preschool at 385 D Street, administered by Episcopal Community Services. The program provides no-cost early childhood education for income-eligible children ages three through five, including developmental screenings, behavioral health referrals, and the pediatric support coordination that connects families to providers such as Stars Therapy Services. Episcopal Community Services—originally founded in 1927 to serve San Diego's most vulnerable populations—now operates Head Start and Early Head Start centers across San Diego County, serving more than 2,000 families annually through bilingual English-Spanish programming. The D Street location sits in western Chula Vista's 91910 zip code between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue, within the walkable grid that connects to the Broadway corridor and Chula Vista Center Mall. Comprehensive wraparound services include medical and dental referrals, nutritious on-site meals meeting USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program standards, and linkage to preventive oral-health screenings coordinated with pediatric dental practices such as The Super Dentists. The Head Start model tracks each child's progress against the federal Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework across five central domains—approaches to learning, social-emotional development, language and literacy, cognition, and perceptual-motor-physical development.
