Welcome to Early Learning
Programs & Services

The Early Learning Programs & Services Department at the Tehama County Department of Education is committed to supporting young children, their families, and early childhood educators throughout Tehama County.

We proudly offer a range of high-quality programs—including State Preschool, the Family Child Care Home Education Network (FCCHEN), Help Me Grow Tehama, CPIN, and Professional Development for early educators.

Each of these programs plays an important role in helping children ages 0 to 5 build the foundational skills they need for lifelong learning and success. We also support families by connecting them to local resources, and we equip early educators with valuable training and tools to create nurturing, enriching learning environments.

Together, we’re building a stronger future for Tehama County’s youngest learners!
