Presidio Tenant Organization Spotlight Presidio Child Development Center Nestled behind the Herbst Exhibition Hall on the Presidio's Main Post is the Presidio Child Development Center, where more than 200 children learn and play. The Center encourages children to explore and experience through hands-on activities and helps them develop the emotional, physical, social and intellectual skills they need for successful growth. Being located in the Presidio, the Center has plenty of access to the outdoors. Our large, bright classrooms provide a healthy setting for learning, and the children can enjoy the many treasures of a national park just beyond our doors. Children who live in the Presidio or whose parents work in the Presidio can also attend the Center and constitute approximately one-fourth of the total enrollment.
Programs are available for infants, toddlers, and school-age kids up to the age of ten.
One such program is the Early Intervention Program for children with developmental disabilities that is administered by the Department of Special Education. Call 561.5822 for more information about Center programs. A Librarian's Vision Newly arrived librarian Barbara Janis brings her vision to the Presidio Trust. Access to the collection will also be available through the Internet once the library becomes automated. The Trust received 53 responses from architecture firms to a Request for Qualifications to restore historic Presidio residences.
