Dear Families,

Welcome to our Early Childhood Education Page! We serve children from National City and surrounding communities in our State-Funded and Head Start preschool programs.  Preschool classes are located at six district school sites.  

The National School District Preschool Program provides a comfortable, developmentally appropriate, linguistically correct setting for what is often the child's first experience away from home.

Thematic curriculum is designed to create an enthusiasm for learning and a love of literature. Small and large group activities are used to introduce basic concepts, expand a child's vocabulary, develop pre-reading and pre-writing skills, and strengthen motor and socialization skills.  A combination of teacher-led and free-choice activities offer opportunities for a child to experiment, observe, socialize, and participate at his/her level of comfort.

Please go to Registration Links at www.nsd.us to create a Parent Vue Account and enroll your child. 

If you would like a tour, please contact me directly at lcastaneda@nsd.us. We look forward to collaborating with you and helping our children succeed. We are continuously enrolling. Join us!

If you have any questions, please send your inquiry to registration-preschool@nsd.us

Ms. Linnette G. Castaneda
