About the Employer

Family F.O.C.U.S. is a local non-profit, state-funded, Early Childhood Education program that strives to offer quality care to children and families in Tulare and Kings County. The FOCUS in Family F.O.C.U.S. is an acronym. The F stands for Fundamental, O for Opportunities, C for Children’s, U for Unlimited, and S for Success. We believe that with equal opportunity for education, students gain equal opportunity for success. At each of our centers, Family F.O.C.U.S. offers subsidized (free or reduced cost) child care to families who meet the requirements set forth by the state of California. Children are among the most vulnerable of any community, and families often must find employment outside of the home, thus requiring them to seek childcare. Family F.O.C.U.S. aims to fill that gap in the lives of qualified families by offering them quality care for their children.
