Seashore Academy

Seashore’s outdoor academic early childhood program combines early childhood education with a focus on outdoor learning experiences. We provide a unique approach to early childhood education by utilizing our outdoor environments as the primary learning space.

The main philosophy behind our outdoor academic  early childhood program is to foster children’s development and learning through nature-based experiences. Seashore children are engaged in hands-on exploration, discovery, and play in natural settings. Our ECE program is offered at both our Newport Beach Campus as well as our Mission Viejo Campus.

Seashore also offers “Drop-In” Fridays where your child can experience a fun-filled day of learning and adventure without the commitment of a full-time program.

Boys + Girls Club

The Boys & Girls Club has two convenient preschool locations in Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley to meet your family’s needs for childcare that you can depend on to give your child a home away from home while you are at work.  Our hours are Monday – Friday, 6:30am – 6:00pm and we are open year-round, including summer and most school holidays, so you can always count on the Club.  With more than 40 years of experience, the Club’s licensed preschools provide loving care for babies as young as six weeks of age through transitional kindergarteners up to six years of age. In our preschool’s fun and nurturing environment, our well-qualified, caring staff will focus on helping your child fulfill their potential as they develop physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. Our goal is that by preschool graduation your child will be ready for success as they take the next step to elementary school. The Boys & Girls Club is here for your child at every age and stage, with two preschools, six afterschool care locations, sports leagues (ages 2-16), and performing and martial arts programs (ages 3+). We hope to see your family at the Boys & Girls Club soon!
