Thank you for your interest in our preschool here at Calvary Chapel Santa Maria where we strive to provide the high-quality care and instruction that is necessary for your child’s healthy development and early learning so that they are ready for future years of school and for life.

Our goal is to always provide a loving, enriching and safe environment. We strive to use developmentally appropriate practices and use a highly multi-sensory approach to learning with many meaningful experiences that will help foster healthy growth and development in all areas: spiritual, physical, social, emotional and cognitive. We have a very well-balanced program between self-directed and teacher-directed activities which helps to prevent problems and encourages exploration of different centers available in the classroom

We hope to partner with you in helping your child to grow and flourish so we have an open door policy and encourage you to come in and participate when you are able to. We encourage communication with comments and questions welcomed. We provide monthly school newsletters to inform you of our themes and events for each month, we also provide classroom newsletters as well.

Nutrition We wish to partner with you in providing your child with the nutritional needs and good eating habits they need in order to be successful in school and healthy. We provide a morning and an afternoon snack and milk at lunch. Parents pack a ready-to-eat lunch minus the beverage. Please see pages 18 & 19 of our Parent Handbook for complete information on our Nutrition Program and policies.

We are licensed by the State of California, Community Care Licensing, for up to 60 children ages 2 years and six months through Pre-kindergarten aged. Our facility was designed with our Preschool in mind. We have great classrooms including sinks in the classrooms with a restroom attached. We have five classrooms with children divided according to age. We maintain a ratio of not more than 12 children to each teacher. We keep our youngest class of 2 ½ - 3 year olds at a ratio of 10 to 1 at least through the first half of the school year and longer if needed

Each staff member has been blessed with a gift from God to work with and care for young children, as well as having a heart for it. Each staff member has a strong personal relationship with Jesus Christ and is very dedicated to serving Christ and the children and families of the children at our center. Our staff is educated well above what is minimally required by licensing, with each of the classroom teachers carrying an associate’s degree specifically in Early Childhood Education. We believe that it is very important for us to continue our education and training by attending workshops, classes and conferences that are offered by many excellent local and State agencies and colleges. Each staff member is First-Aid and CPR certified. It is our desire to be the best teachers and care takers possible.
