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
David has been with CCP since 1996. He began as a Co-Supervisor, and in 2006 was appointed as the Site Supervisor of the Half Moon Bay Center. David holds a A.A. Degree in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and a Site Supervisory Permit from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. He is the proud recipient of the 2009 Mary Elizabeth Griffin Children's Award, a San Mateo County-wide recognition for his contributions and commitment to serving children. A resident of Half Moon Bay, David is actively involved in the community. He serves as a member of the Second Harvest Food Bank Advisory Committee, a member of the Hatch Elementary School Site Council and supervisor for Hatch's Homework Club, a Little League baseball coach, and on Sunday mornings as a caregiver for the smallest children at Mariner's Community Church.
