Center Improvements

The Montara Preschool Families embraced the PG&E PSPS this last weekend and came together to beautify the outdoor play area. Some of the improvements included an outdoor kitchen, water wall, and a freshly painted chalk wall. We can't wait to see the music/sound area that will be coming soon!

CCP and The Big Lift Literacy Initiative

CCP is part of a national demonstration project, The Big Lift, which is funded by San Mateo County and the Social Innovation Fund at the Corporation for National and Community Service.  The Big Lift leadership team includes Anne Campbell, San Mateo County Superintendent of Schools;  Carole Groom, President of San Mateo County Board of Supervisors; and Erica Wood, Chief Community Impact Officer of Silicon Valley Community Foundation.  We're proud to represent the Coastside community in this program to provide quality early learning experiences that positively effect literacy outcomes through elementary school.
