We partner with thirty-four school districts to provide before and after school programs, preschool and camps.

Headquartered in Morgan Hill, Catalyst Kids has regional offices in Morgan Hill, Sacramento, Irvine and Oxnard, CA.
At Catalyst Kids our infant through school age programs are built on the following beliefs:
- All children are competent and capable learners. Each child is encouraged to imagine, learn and grow through hands-on, active experiences. Through this discovery, children develop deeper connections to their families and community which creates a foundation for learning through life.
- Knowledgeable and responsive staff believe learning happens best through authentic and positive relationships with children. We guide children’s development based on their individual interests and strengths, as well as group experiences where they can creatively explore and discover together.
- Trusting relationships between our families and staff are the cornerstone of our program. Together we promote a safe and nurturing environment that supports each child’s emerging abilities and sense of self.
- Reciprocal relationships with community-based organizations and school districts result in cohesive services for children and families. We work together to identify the goals and needs of the community and strive to provide optimal support.
