Go Kids Inc.
We operate 8 licensed Child Development Centers serving infants, preschool and school age children. One center is located on-site within a migrant housing facility to serve agricultural working families.
Go Kids is committed to creating and maintaining quality programs for children that foster social, emotional, physical and cognitive development while recognizing the importance of family, cultural and community. All child care center programs offer health and nutrition education, parent engagement, social service referrals, computer learning and school readiness activities. Go Kids supports early childhood professionals by providing opportunities for ongoing technical training assistance.
Our high quality network provides flexible days and hours to meet the individualized needs of our families. A Go Kids, Inc. team of FCC Specialists provide regular visits to provide technical assistance, encourage quality and on-going professional development. Our FCC Specialists also share local resources with our family child care homes to benefit the children and families they are serving. In partnership with the contracted, hard-working small business operators, our Go Kids, Inc. FCC Network delivers high quality child care and development services for over 600 children daily. The family child care model is often favored by families of young children due to the smaller group size, consistent primary caregiver, personal touch and home like environment.
Each family child care provider was selected by Go Kids as they have received formal early childhood education units, have quality environment and offer developmentally appropriate programs for children birth through 12 years of age. Every family child care home is both unique in structure and learning opportunities to meet the individualized needs of children and families.
After meeting standards of quality, selected providers are invited into our Network and receive on-going support. Go Kids, Inc. FCC Specialists complete regular home visit consultations for overall program evaluation and review each provider’s operation for state mandated compliance. In addition, on-going professional development is provided through network meetings, agency sponsored trainings, technical assistance and referrals to local lending libraries and other community based trainings
Go Kids, Inc. in partnership with our network of providers, is committed to creating and maintaining quality family child care programs for children that foster social, emotional, physical and cognitive development while recognizing the importance of family, culture and community.
Go Kids Inc. was established in 1975 when it was awarded a grant from the city of Morgan Hill to provide early childhood education training services to unemployed women from low-income backgrounds. Since its incorporation as a nonprofit agency in 1978, the agency budget and service area has continued to grow. Go Kids now provides services in Santa Clara, San Benito, Monterey, and Santa Cruz counties. We have a long history of a diverse funding base that has included financial support from the California Department of Education, San Benito County United Way, Santa Clara County, San Jose City, Santa Clara County First 5, San Benito County First 5, Monterey County First 5, Santa Cruz County First 5, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Packard Foundation.
In 2015, Go Kids acquired Estrella Family Services creating a most welcome opportunity to add 4 long established child care centers and 33 professional early education staff to the high quality services of Go Kids. The addition of Estrella Family Services also gave Go Kids a prominent presence in San Jose.
