Preschool About Us
Mission Statement
The mission of Coast Kids Preschool is to provide children in our community with the opportunities to grow physically, cognitively, socially/emotionally, and spiritually by offering a high-quality and developmentally appropriate program that is built upon a partnership between the child, teacher, and family.
Curriculum
“Jesus grew in stature and in wisdom and in favor with men and God.” Luke 2:52.
Our curriculum reflects this Bible verse. We desire for our preschool children to grow as Jesus did: physically, cognitively, socially/emotionally, and spiritually. We use The Creative Curriculum as our blueprint for planning and implementing a developmentally appropriate program. We also draw lessons from Wonder-filled Weekdays: Lessons for Christian Preschool Ministries. Our curriculum covers the content areas that are included in the national and state standards - literacy, math, science, social studies, and the arts.
Making Faith Connections
Faith connections are made throughout the day. Looking at snails is not just a science lesson. It is an opportunity to talk about God and His creations. Children will enjoy coming together for Chapel Days. Chapel is very interactive with lively songs and Bible Stories and lessons that come alive. Parents are always welcome to join us. Another way to make faith connections is to get involved in serving others. Each class will be involved in service projects during the year.
Play Is Important
Many parents ask if our program is play-based or academic. They want their children to enjoy preschool yet be prepared for kindergarten. We do too! The good news is that best preschool teaching practices make the most of children’s natural inclination to play. What’s more, you don’t have to choose between academic learning and enjoyable play experiences.
Almost all research in early childhood clearly indicates that when children play, they learn, and they learn social, emotional, and physical skills as well as academic content and spiritual development. We believe that a quality preschool program is one that promotes learning through rich play experience.

Preschool Staff
Staff
A strong team is key to a successful preschool. All of our staff are committed Christians and experienced Early Childhood educators. Each of our staff meets, and in many cases exceeds, the requirements set by the State Licensing Department. Our staff is certified in CPR and First Aid. Our staff members have undergone an extensive background check. We believe it is both a privilege and a responsibility to care for and nurture your child.
