A strong team is key to a successful preschool.

All of our staff are committed Christians and are experienced Early Childhood educators.

Each of our staff meets, and in many cases exceeds, the requirements set by the State Licensing Department and all staff are 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

“Jesus grew in stature and in wisdom and in favor with men and God.” (Luke 2:52)

Coast Kids is a Play and Faith based preschool. Coast Kids is a ministry of North Coast Calvary Chapel. We use many different teaching styles and techniques as our blueprint for planning and implementing a developmentally appropriate program. Our Curriculum incorporates careful attention to the design of the environment with a focus on interest areas, developmentally appropriate practices, purposeful planning, and accurate assessment of learning outcomes. Our curriculum includes the content areas – literacy, math, science, social studies, and the arts.

Along with using our different curriculum methods as a framework, we draw lessons from The Beginners Bible. We are able to integrate developmentally appropriate activities with spiritual development. This is designed to help children make faith connections. We verbalize our faith as children work and play. Looking at earthworms in a worm house is not just a science lesson. It is an opportunity to talk about how all of God’s creation is good.

Faith connections are made throughout the day. Looking at snails is not just a science lesson. It is an opportunity to talk about God’s creation.

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 a faith connection is to get involved in serving others. Each class will be involved in service projects during the year.

“Many parents are concerned about what their children will learn in preschool. They want their children to enjoy preschool, but also to be well prepared for the more formal environments of kindergarten and elementary school.

The good news is that the 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 for your children. The idea that you must make a choice is in part due to different definitions. When some people talk about academics, they may be thinking specifically of teaching children their letters and sounds, numbers, colors, shapes, and so on. Our definition of academics is much broader.
Academics should address such questions as:
How do children become literate?
How do children learn to think mathematically and like scientists?
How do children learn about the world around them?
How do children create through the arts and learn to think of themselves as creative problem-solvers?

Almost all current research on young children clearly indicates that when children play, they learn, and they learn social, emotional, and physical skills as well as academic content. Our view–that a quality preschool program is one that promotes learning through rich play experiences–is based on that research.”

It is very important to us that, when you pick up your child and ask what they did today, their first response is “I played”. All of our teachers have been trained to creatively mold play situations so that they lead to the acquisition of specific skills.
