Grant funding worth $10,000 is expected to spruce up facilities at the state Preschool Programs for Cedarcreek and Rio Vista.
The grant funding was awarded to the programs through the Child Care Alliance of Los Angeles and the California State Preschool Program Quality Rating and Improvement System Block Grant, according to an upcoming agenda of the Saugus Union School District Governing Board.
“The grants are written for specific projects that are identified in the agenda for those two schools,” Board President Christopher Trunkey said. “Our director of CDP (Child Development Program) Rose Villanueva has done a great job writing grants for this program, as well as others.”
With the grant funding, Cedarcreek State Preschool will receive $6,000 to be used for minor renovations that include painting, replacing faucets and hardware, and landscaping.
Rio Vista State Preschool will receive $4,000 that will be used for furnishing.
The grants to the State Preschool Programs are expected to be ratified by the Governing Board during its meeting Tuesday.
