Hope 4 Kids is a wonderful, warm, caring family.  Our teachers are qualified, gifted, and loving.  Our support staff are talented, flexible, and attentive to the details that make for an incredibly well-rounded program.  We offer a clean, quality childcare center focusing on your child's growth and development, while partnering with YOU, your child's first and most important teacher. 
 
Due to the ever-increasing need for flexible, quality care, we offer three campuses in Santa Barbara and Goleta with many schedules to accommodate your family.  Depending on your family's needs, you may choose from our full day or part day options* when available.  We also offer 2, 3, 4, and 5 day per week scheduling options* and a morning and afternoon program (please contact our office for availability).  Please scroll down for information about scheduling and tuition rates. ​We invite you to schedule a tour by completing an ONLINE TOUR REQUEST to arrange a time to visit our program and meet our staff.

WAITLISTS

Because we are high-quality programs, we often have several families on the Waitlist during pregnancy to ensure a space is available when they need to enroll. We highly recommend getting on the Waitlist for all families, particularly for our infant and toddler centers. Please note that submission of the Waitlist Application does not guarantee that a space will be available when a family needs to enroll. The Waitlist Application fee is non-refundable for any reason. The purpose of the Waitlist Application is for families to express their desire to enroll their child in our program and for us to keep track of a family’s priority (based on the reservation date) when an opening occurs. When a space becomes available, being on the Waitlist gives a family priority over other families who are not on the Waitlist. If a family has not toured the Program, we will move on to the next family on the list. If a family has not paid the Waitlist Application fee, the family will be removed from the Waitlist. All enrollments come directly from the Waitlist. Once on the Waitlist, we require that families check in every month to update information or to express continued interest in enrollment. Your family’s entry will be deactivated if we don’t hear from you-at minimum-every month or if you decline a space if/when offered or if you have not paid the application fee. CLICK HERE TO COMPLETE THE WAITLIST APPLICATION through Waitlist Plus.



Please contact the school office at (805) 682-2300 x0 for questions! We look forward to meeting you and getting to know your family.
