After more than 30 years, the Tiny Tots Preschool in Escondido will close next year, despite parents' efforts to keep it open.
Franchesca Spensieri's 4-year-old son has been in the Tiny Tots program for two years.
City staff says it's because of budgeting issues and a decline in enrollment, which is partly due to competing programs, such as the free Transitional Kindergarten programs offered by the state to help kids prepare for kindergarten. "They gave us a handout with other options, and the other options are basically daycares that last all day long, that costs thousands," Johnson said.
