About this preschool

Carlsbad Country Day School serves infants through kindergarten with a philosophy emphasizing play-based learning combined with teacher-directed instruction to build strong academic foundations. The school provides individualized curricula and daily documentation of child progress.

Philosophy
A strong academic base developed through play and practice will build a foundation for future academic success. Play is the primary vehicle for children's learning and development in the early years, while teacher directed learning develops the child as a whole and is essential to the first school experience. Each child's cultural background is relevant in the design of age-appropriate and individually appropriate curriculum. The school replicates many aspects of a quality home environment with caring adults nurturing children to grow and learn.
