MAAC has provided early care and education services to San Diego’s North County communities for over forty-five years. In 2019, we expanded our service area to include locations in South County. We serve diverse populations in our communities, including families who are dual language learners, children and parents with disabilities, and families experiencing homelessness or other challenges.

We deliver services to children from birth to age five, preparing them and their families for academic success and success beyond the school years. MAAC staff are responsive to each child’s and family’s unique circumstances and experiences, providing family-focused resources and support services such as education, health, nutrition, mental health, and social services.

At MAAC, we encourage parents to become invested and involved in their child’s education. We provide family education and development opportunities to help parents grow their abilities as their child’s first and life-long teachers. We foster their engagement through workshops, parent-teacher conferences, parent groups, and classroom volunteer opportunities. We champion our parents and families as they gain the confidence and skills to help their children succeed. During the 2022-2023 program year, MAAC’s Child Development Program served 1,324 children and their families across twenty locations in the communities of Carlsbad, Escondido, Fallbrook, Oceanside, Pauma, Rincon, San Marcos, San Ysidro, and Vista.
