We also offer flexible choices for families with different needs, including hourly rates for drop-ins.

Site Supervisor: Lorena Velazquez
My name is Lorena Velazquez and I have been employed at Coastside Children’s Programs since October 1996. I am married, and I have 3 boys and in my spare time, I enjoy reading, gardening, listening to music but most of all, I like spending time with my younger boys at their soccer games, where I get to volunteer as a Team manager for the last 4 yrs. I am very passionate in children’s development and the many ways that they learn. Being able to be a part of that process and education is one of my favorite aspects of Early Childhood Education. I love doing art projects with the children and encouraging them to be creative. Having the opportunity to watch the children learn and grow is one of the best parts of my job.

My name is Alyssa Mesick and I have been with CCP since February 2018. I have over five years experience working with children in center-based care and I have worked with all ages from eight weeks to ten years old. I have a BA in Liberal Studies with a minor in History from San Francisco State University, and also 35 units in Early Childhood Education. I am currently a graduate student at Pacific Oaks College working to obtain my Master’s in Elementary Education along with a Multiple Subjects Credential. I enjoy traveling, exercising, and trying new things. I decided to become and educator to be a good role model for children and to show them that they can do or be anything that they set their mind to.

My name is Ana Maria. I have been working at CCP Montara as a Preschool teacher for about two months previous to El Granada; I was a student teacher at John F Kennedy Daly City. I have an Associate in Science in Early Childhood education and Master teacher qualification. I enjoy working with children because I know that they are our future leaders, and I feel that I am being part of the formation of our future leaders.
I want to be able to give the best of me to every child that comes to me. I want you as a family to feel confident that your children are in good hands learning everything that they need to learn at their age. I am quickly able to meet their needs for security, physical development, nourishment and knowledge. |
