Located on the Hatch Elementary School Campus, our Half Moon Bay Before/After School Center is open from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Each of our learning and creativity centers are designed for different age groups: TK - 1st, 2nd - 5th.
Our centers are warm and inviting, with couches, kitchens, work spaces for homework/learning, and play areas. The environment helps us to create a program with set activity times and structure, while also offering flexibility to provide your child with the option to self-direct during their time with us.
Highlights:
Curriculum:
We base our program on the Emergent philosophy of teaching and curriculum planning, which focuses on being responsive to children's' interests to create meaningful learning experiences. Emergent programs prioritize active participation, relationship building, flexible methods, inquiry and play-based learning. CCP teachers expose students to new concepts (examples include caterpillars, deep oceans, farming) with the goal of inspiring a love of learning. Teachers then skillfully create opportunities for children to learn more about the topics that interest the children the most.

Site Supervisor: Manon Pouedras
Hello my name is Manon Pouedras and I have been working at CCP in the school-aged program since the beginning of January 2020. I hold a BA degree from SFSU in International Relations along with a Child Development Site Supervisor permit. I have over 10 years of experience working with both pre-school and school-aged children from various centers and schools in the Bay Area. I enjoy multicultural teaching environments and feel fortunate to have such a direct impact on the lives of children and their families. On my spare time I enjoy cooking, crafting, going to the beach, traveling and spending time at home with my sweet kitty Luna.

Teacher: Aleida Crocker |
Hi, my name is Candelaria (or Teacher Candy) I have been with CCP for over 10 years and love it! I feel blessed to know each child and love the great variety of characters in my class each year. I enjoy getting to know not only the children and their unique needs and interests, but their families as well. I love the teaching team I work with, and believe that they show great teamwork in a caring and fun environment.

My name is Aleida Crocker, I have a BS in Foreign Language form Indonesia and I have a Master Teacher Permit from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
I have been working at Coastside Children's Program since 2006, and am grateful to be a part of the CCP family. My goal is that my students will be strong in their social and emotional development before they move into the bigger world of education. My favorite moment is when I hear my students say, "I did it Miss Aleida, I can do it!". Thank you for letting me be one of your child's first educators. |
