Coastside Children's Programs

Our mission is to provide a safe and caring environment where children learn through
experience, play, and friendships - building a foundation for success in school and life.

We're proud to serve Coastside families as a local non-profit child​care and education center supporting our community for more than 40 years.

Program Highlights

Coastside Children's Programs offers an array of fun and educational opportunities for young children. Our Preschools offer yoga, gardening, Zoophonics walking trips to the local library and skill development in social emotional learning as well as pre-k readiness.
Before and After school programs provide a safe place for children to go before the beginning of their school day and after school. We offer homework help, tennis, yoga and gardening.
Summer Programs are also a highlight for CCP with camps such as Lego, Sports, Gardening, Maker Camp and Culinary Creations. 
Children in our El Granada and Montara Before/After School Centers created these beautiful canvas paintings to serve as displays at our Dine for CCP fundraiser.  The children, working in groups, planned, sketched and then painted their creations for the event.  Through this fun and creative process, the students learned about giving back to the community and completing a project on time.
