At La Costa Valley Preschool, our mission is to provide a nurturing, safe, enriching environment for children as we seek to foster their inborn sense of wonder as they explore, create, make friends and conquer the many academic tasks before them.
We believe the foundation for learning includes the total development of the child.
We see to provide instruction which is age appropriate and meets the social, emotional, physical and intellectual needs of each child.
Our programs are carefully designed to enlarge the child's repertoire of knowledge and skill, increase self-confidence and to promote curiosity and initiative.
