Our Vision of Excellence

Child Development Center of Solana Beach will provide an improved way of learning for your child. We believe your child is a competent, capable being with a natural desire to learn. Children are supported through an environment that stimulates their social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. By embracing each child’s uniqueness from the beginning, a meaningful and strong foundation is established. This inclusion fosters a high self-esteem that leaves a lasting impression on the child.

Our Center’s Philosophy

 

We believe that superior childcare is an essential part of family life in today’s society.  The Solana Beach Child Development Center is committed to providing services that support and contribute to the success and well-being of our families.

We believe children’s experiences during their early childhood and school-age years influence the rest of their lives. Children in our Center start wherever they are on the developmental continuum and grow and learn at their own pace.

We believe purposeful play is the primary tool for learning in young children.  Our program offers ample opportunities for child-initiated, child-directed play.  Teachers support and facilitate learning by  guiding, questioning, and assisting in developing skills. Our preschool curriculum is based on the California Preschool Foundations for Learning.

We believe children deserve to be cared for and taught by adults who genuinely enjoy young children.  As caring professionals, we value each child for his or her uniqueness and encourage the children to value each other.
