Located on the Hatch Elementary School Campus, our Half Moon Bay Before/After School Center is open from 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. with flexible scheduling, and provides full service before the school day starts as well as after the school day ends. We also offer flexible choices for families with different needs, including hourly rates for drop-ins. Check out the Tuition-At-A-Glance section to learn more.
Each of our three learning and creativity centers are designed for different age groups: TK - 1st, 2nd - 3rd, and 4th- 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 childrens' 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: David Aliamus

Assistant Director: Lorena Velazquez
Lorena has been with CCP for over 20 years - starting as a teacher and now serving as our Hatch site Assistant Director. Lorena holds a Site Supervisor Permit through California state teacher credentialing. One day a child asked her if teaching was her job or her profession. She asked him what he thought. His answer surprised her - he said that it was her profession because you love what you do! This is so true: she loves the richness that every child and their family brings into her life.
