Our daughter has attended Coastal Kids for over two years and it is a great fit! She has been in three different classrooms and has had positive experiences with all teachers. Everyone is very welcoming and addresses her by name when coming and going with a friendly hello or goodbye. She is soaring academically and interpersonally. Coastal Kids has the perfect balance of support, challenge, independent work, circle time, outdoor play, and much more! She is excited to go to school in the morning and says “school is fun.” Coastal Kids makes life easier for working families and we are lucky to have this fabulous school in our community!
