Conveniently located in downtown Half Moon Bay, CCP Half Moon Bay Preschool was the very first CCP center opened! We are located next to the beautiful Community United Methodist Church, and are in a quiet residential neighborhood within easy walking distance to downtown, where we take the children on walking trips. CCP has two classrooms at this center; a young preschool class for children 2-3 years old and a Pre-K class for children 4-5 years old.
The Half Moon Bay preschool has a variety of indoor learning centers in each classroom: art, dramatic play, building/blocks, math/manipulative materials, and literacy. The outdoor space is no ordinary playground - the teachers transform the area daily as the preschool's outdoor classroom. Program 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 introduce 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. Highlights:
