SB 1042: Child care: state preschool programs: age of eligibility.

Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to administer all California state preschool programs, including, but not limited to, part-day age and developmentally appropriate programs for 3- and 4-year-old children. Existing law defines 3-year-old children for these purposes as children who will have their 3rd birthday on or before September 1 of the fiscal year in which they are enrolled in a California state preschool program.

This bill would instead define 3-year-old children as children who will have their 3rd birthday on or before December 1 of the fiscal year in which they are enrolled in a California state preschool program.
