Coastside Children’s Programs

Specialties

At Coastside Children’s Programs, our goal is to guide children toward success by creating an environment that facilitates growth, strengthens individuality, and promotes creative freedom through a blend of teacher-​directed and child-​initiated activities. We provide year-​round preschool, before and after school and full-​day summer programs. Our programs go beyond providing quality child care during non-​school hours to provide enrichment activities that are essential to the healthy cognitive, physical, social and emotional development of children.

We have 4 centers in Half Moon Bay (preschool, before/​after school, summer camps), El Granada (prek, before/​after school), and Montara (preschool, before/​after school, summer camp).
