About this preschool

Oceanside Shining Stars is a daycare and preschool serving infants through age 5 with an emphasis on learning and development. The program adopts best practices from Reggio-inspired, Montessori, and Waldorf educational approaches.

Philosophy
For us, the purpose of learning and development is more than acquiring knowledge. From infancy to age 5, we provide our Stars with the mental tools needed to master their own physical, cognitive, and emotional behaviors. They will use these same mental tools to excel in their future academic and personal lives.
