Explore UPK El Dorado (Ages 3-4)

Welcome to Your Guide for Discovering Early Learning and Child Care in El Dorado County!
At Explore UPK El Dorado, we believe every child's journey begins with a strong foundation. This guide is here to help families navigate the many early learning and child care options available, ensuring your child has the best opportunities to grow, learn, and thrive.
When children participate in early learning programs, they build social skills, gain confidence, and develop a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
Explore UPK El Dorado brings together all early learning and child care options in one easy-to-navigate system. This mixed-delivery approach gives families a variety of settings to choose from, so parents, guardians, and caregivers can find the best fit for their child. The funnel graphic below shows how these options come together to support families in our community.

Let’s work together to explore the wonderful resources available and find the best early learning program for your family. We’re excited to be part of this journey with you!
