About

ECS Saint John's Head Start in Chula Vista holds Community Care License #376701294 and operates at 760 First Avenue on the campus of Saint John's Episcopal Church, within Episcopal Community Services' Head Start network. The program delivers no-cost bilingual English-Spanish preschool for children ages three through five, incorporating the discipline and focus-building exercises that translate into the structured movement training at White Dragon Martial Arts - Chula Vista. Episcopal Community Services has administered Head Start programming across San Diego County since expanding its social-services mission beyond the organization's 1927 founding, now operating more than a dozen center-based and home-based sites. First Avenue places the center in Chula Vista's 91910 core, near the intersection of E Street and within the western residential grid that also supports preschool-age enrollment at faith-based and community centers such as Concordia Preschool and Childcare. Wraparound family services include individualized child-development plans, disability-accommodation support under IDEA Part B, and transition-planning assistance for children entering kindergarten in the Chula Vista Elementary School District. The center's meal program follows USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program guidelines, providing breakfast, lunch, and snacks formulated to meet one-half to two-thirds of each child's recommended nutrient intake per session.
