Catalyst Family Inc.

Catalyst Kids

Catalyst Kids operates over 75 centers in Orange County, serving over 1,500 children on an average day. We partner with thirty-four school districts to provide before and after school programs, preschool and camps. Our centers are licensed by the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division. At Catalyst Kids, we believe 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. Kids love it – just ask the families we’ve served for years and years!

Catalyst Community

Catalyst Community’s Parent and Provider Services provides free, drop-in care at our Children's Waiting Rooms in Courthouse facilities in Orange County. These services are available for parents or guardians who have business within the Courthouse. Experienced and well-qualified teachers provide enriching, age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, puzzles and games, books and music activities for children of all ages.

Catalyst ExpandEd Learning

Catalyst ExpandEd Learning is a solution for families who need childcare after school. Kids can spend time with their friends, finish their homework, and have a healthy snack in a safe place. Children are encouraged to explore their interests through our engaging, child-led programming. Kids from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade have a place to learn, play, and explore at Catalyst ExL. Catalyst ExL primarily serves families who, without ExL, would struggle to afford childcare. We are proud to watch the bright, capable children of parents and guardians working to uplift their families.
