Mrs. Lisa and Mrs. Rachael are the absolute best. They care for and invest in your children like no other. Three of my children have had the honor to be taught by this dynamic duo and I am so sad to leave Coastal Learning Center. Thank you for loving my babies so well throughout the years.

If I could give Coastal Learning center more stars, I would! This has been my son’s first year and his first time ever away from me in general but the transition has been a breeze for both him and I! He absolutely LOVES his teachers and learning. I’m always amazed at how much he’s learning with the half day schedule!

I simply cannot say enough about the quality care and education my granddaughter has received at Coastal Learning Center. She has grown so much academically and socially this year. I have zero doubt that she is well more than prepared to enter kindergarten. The staff loves and treats each student like family, and Alice is more well-rounded for having attended CLC! Take a tour! Sign-up!

This is our third year with CLC and we absolutely LOVE it. They are passionate and professional about the work they do and are driven to provide a solid educational foundation for every child in their class. I love knowing that my children are being cared for and taught by teachers that love them like their own and have the talent to help each child reach their full potential.

I cannot recommend Coastal Learning Center Enough. Not only does my daughter actually love going to school but she is learning how to write, count, spell out words, and read, in PreK!! Miss Lisa and Miss Rachel are the best teachers any parent can ask for, they truly care about the wellbeing of your child. They help your child understand they are meant to do wonderful things. As a parent you want what is best for your child both educational and emotional/mental needs and Coastal Learning Center has it. My daughter will be going to their summer camp and kindergarten alternative next year and I am so excited to see what they can teach her next!

Coastal Learning Center is truly a magical place! I can honestly not say enough about Ms. Lisa and Ms. Rachel. They truly love and care for my child. As a previous elementary school teacher I know what the children need to know when entering Kindergarten as well as 1st grade. The teaching that Ms. Lisa gives is truly above and beyond. My preschooler can already skip count by 10s, count to 100, knows the letters as well as many letter sounds, and so much more! He loves school so much and truly loves his teachers! As a parent I appreciate the wonderful communication Ms. Lisa provides as well as the opportunities to see what our children are learning and the strategies being used. We have had a phenomenal experience at Coastal Learning Center and we are very excited to enroll in Kindergarten!

Parents/& or guardians check in their students by coming into the front office and signing a check in log that we keep for our attendance records. At dismissal, a parent/guardian must sign out their student. This is to ensure that our students are safe.

Every trimester, a report card is sent home to parents and put in the students’ file to help keep everyone “in the know” of how each student is progressing. Assessments are given prior to reports being generated and are able to show the growth of each student. Our report cards have been patterned after Kindergarten level report cards from area county schools. They are also inclined to change as those change so we are able to make sure our students are prepared as best as possible for their next grade level.

Coastal Learning Center is focused on each child and their growth in responsibilities, becoming independent, using their resources and developing in all areas. We balance developmental play with academic growth using a variety of resources and allotting time for artistic creativity. The children have freedom within boundaries and are nurtured to become critical thinkers, problem solvers, and use their communication skills.

The students come in and unpack independently and start their morning off with a task or manipulative time. We transition into “Morning Meeting” and cover a plethora of concepts including (but not limited to): counting words, letters of the week, punctuation marks, spacing, sight words, the date, handwriting, tally marks, ten frames, colors, calendar concepts & more. We also use songs & movement to help us review concepts. We use whole group and small group instruction after a quick snack time and end our day cleaning up and reviewing our day.
