Our son has been attending Coastal Adventures for the last 4 years. This is not a babysitting camp…read morefor each day is an adventure! Bike week, sand boarding, swimming, hay maze, crab habitats at the beaches, making boats and racing them, Long Branch Saloon and Blue Lady are some of the adventures. You know it is a good camp when you DONT have to ask, "Did you have fun today?" Big smile and tons of stories are what I get on the drive home. Jon and his staff are professional and very good with the kids. I highly recommend you check out Coastal Adventures when planning your summer camps.

My son loved this camp. Jon is very creative in his activity planning. The kids traveled all over…read morethe coast from Pescadero to San Mateo, doing everything from swimming, surfing, collecting golf balls on the beach, finding their way through hay mazes and scavenger hunts. Every day was a new adventure and my son was never bored. He can't wait to go again next summer!

I've spent a large amount of my career being trained & paid to assess Preschool Environments with…read morethe ECERS, DRDP & NAEYC Accreditation standards. So naturally, when it came to finding a preschool for my daughter when we moved to HMB, I was very particular in what I was looking for. I visited a few preschools in the area that made me shudder. I visited some that were pretty decent. But CCP-HMB Preschool was by far above the rest in meeting my standards. There are things that I still wish were different- i.e. the lack of grass/garden/nature outdoors but I think this school does what they can to make up for the mostly asphalt playground. Highlights that made me enroll my daughter: Small classroom ratios*interactive teachers*efforts made to do regular field trips to the library, downtown, feed & fuel, etc* Music class with John* Ample supervision with bathrooms & classrooms close to each other* lots of art & math supplies * professionalism of the greater CCP organization* Efforts made to have bilingual staff* an understanding of and efforts made to implement the ECERS/DRDP & NAEYC Accreditation standards.

My daughter is a preschooler here and has really enjoyed her teachers and new friends…read more I really needed fulltime care for her and it was great to know that they accepted 2.5year olds and were going to help me potty train her too. That was such a relief to me as I wasn't going to force my daughter to be diaper-free before she was ready... but at the same time, I needed her to go to preschool. I was surprised at how much they do for the children. It wasn't immediately known to me all the activities that the kids do during the day. They do many art projects, zoophonics, healthy habits, yoga, walks around town, trips to the library etc. Wish I'd known this before, it would have made the selection a no-brainer. The teachers are very nurturing and caring. My daughter just loves her school and I'm very happy she's there and that they do a wonderful job. The peace of mind this gives me makes all the difference.

My daughter loves Fly on the Wall's summer art camps. This is the school's second year on Main…read moreStreet; they have moved a few times in the past 7 years. Most camps run four days a week, and each week has a specific theme. Some of this year's themes included Cartooning and Toy making, Sculpture and Architecture, Fashion Design and Textiles, and Drawing and Painting. There are also private lessons and classes at other times of the year, though we haven't done any of those yet. The owner/instructor, Susan, is a sweet and energetic teacher. She's great at bringing out the best in her students. The student ages seem to cover all grades up through high school. I'm sure adults can join, too, but in the summertime they will definitely be outnumbered.

We have an excellent record of helping students gain admittance to San Francisco School of the Arts by mastering the needed skills and creating a porfolio required. Fly on the Wall School provides students with the encouragement and opportunities appropriate to each student's talents and commitment. Previous High School Students at Fly on the Wall have had one-person art shows, sold art work, gone on to other art shows with the work made for a Fly on the Wall Show, and found jobs in the field while going to school. Perhaps the biggest asset Fly on the Wall provides it's older students is the positive clarity they develop for who they are and the talents they own. 98% of Fly on the Wall former students complete and continue their college education in a variety of fields, and most of those continue functioning creatively in their private lives.

Now my Kindergarten student attends a weekly pod at the Coastside Moss Beach location and we are really happy to be sending her. The location--Fitzgerald Marine Reserve and the neighboring forest--is spectacular, and I am constantly being surprised at the random nature knowledge she casually spits out. They visit the tidepools whenever the tides allow, make secret hideouts in the trees, make dams in the sand, etc. I wish I could go to forest school!

He thrives in the beautiful forest classroom. In just a few months has become deeply aware of his surroundings in nature and has developed a true curiosity for the ocean, animals, bugs and plants.
