“Josephine -- Thank you so much for providing [email] updates! I always ask my daughter what she has been up to at school, but it is great to hear it from the teachers' perspective too! We are so glad that we chose to enroll her there, and have been seeing great strides in her language, social interactions, and motor development. Thanks again, you are all so wonderful!” – Ben, CCP Montara Preschool Parent

“In Northern California it is almost a requirement of home ownership that both parents work. Not only does CCP provide the safe, friendly care for our daughter while we work, they also provide her with mental and physical stimulation during the long day away from home. And an excellent, structured framework within which to develop the critical social and relationship skills needed to succeed in adult life.” – Stephen, parent

“It serves as a great platform for social interactions and experiences my son cannot receive at home. The academic development of my child is enhanced through projects, field trips and specialty tasks (i.e. music, jumpbunch, art). The social experiences he obtains at CCP both positive and disappointing are great points of discussion at home for how to behave and enjoy others. These experiences would not occur outside the preschool environment and have broadened my child’s world.” – Leamor, parent

“It provides a supervised, clean, safe and friendly environment before and after school. With both parents working, early drop-off and late pick up is very convenient and reasonably priced. Our child enjoys the relationships that he has developed and there is an abundance and variety of toys and activities.” – John, parent

“This particular early childhood education program is driven by people who have expectations of success. The children are introduced to cultures via food, clothing, crafting, musicians and magicians, and they absorb it all. In part, they hold on to foundations of worth, and the meaning of belonging. They have fun, they grow, the children and their families are loved.” – Christine Giannini, Creative Specialist in Art

“It gives me a place to be with my friends and play. I feel safe there. I like the teachers. I have so much fun I don’t want to leave.” – Julia, 2nd grade

“It’s close and I feel safe and secure here. I know the adults will take care of me. If it wasn’t here, my Mom would have to take me to work, or not work.” – Sarah, 3rd grade

“All the teachers are nice and some funny. We have crafts and lots of kids to play with and you’re right by the sea. We have a play room and dress up.” – Melanie, 3rd grade

“I love to be around all our animals – the guinea pigs, birds, fish and turtle. And I love to build with the big blocks and paint, and play on the yard. I don’t have all these things to do at my house.” – Patrick, 2nd grade

“My parents don’t have to worry about me if I am here. It has a lot of fun things to do. If you’re not here you’re at your house and you’re bored.” – Bridget, 4th grade

“They take care of my child. Nothing is more important to me than the well-being of my kids. CCP does a fantastic job of providing a safe, fun and loving environment for my son. In essence, they are helping me raise my family. I will continue to come here for the next 9 years. I am grateful for this program and the people in it.” – James, parent
