Catalyst Kids (formerly Child Development Centers (CDC)) was founded in 1984 to provide learning materials and services to both state subsidized and private child care centers. This business quickly expanded to become the preschool and school age programs we operate today. In addition to providing infant/toddler and preschool programs, our after school programs on elementary campuses expanded dynamically in the late 80s and early 90s. Catalyst Kids operates 155 centers throughout the State of California, serving over 20,000 children. We partner with thirty-four school districts to provide before and after school programs, preschool and camps. Our centers are licensed by the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, the agency charged with health and safety reviews of child care centers.
