Testimonials
We are grateful for the kind words and support given by our Coastal Kids parents and other members of our  community.

“Coastal Kids Preschool has gained a positive reputation among educators.  Students are being taught the necessary social and academic skills to enable their early childhood success.  CKP addresses each individual child’s learning needs, strengths and goals.  This is due to their top-notch teaching staff and child-centered curriculum…..As a parent, the teaching staff puts my mind at ease each morning I drop off my son.  I am greeted with warm, friendly smiles in a nurturing setting.  I could go on and on about Coastal Kids Preschool.”

“Our family would like to thank the teachers of Coastal Kids Preschool for an exceptional first year of school for our daughter.  The teachers taught the kids about the world, friendships and learning through gentle, yet enthusiastic, guidance.
The love that is evident between my daughter and all five of her teachers is awesome.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  The work you do every day with our kids is exemplary.  Thank you for teaching, and especially for loving, our children.”

“As a health-care provider, I feel extremely confident, when referring young children to Coastal Kids, that their challenging needs will be met.  The teachers and staff are energetic and obviously devoted to the children in their care.  They admirably balance the desire to involve all children in the activities of the day with the need for many of the children to have intense one-on-one-care…….My own daughter has had a wonderful experience as a “Coastal Kid”.  She began as a shy three-year-old and emerged as a confident, curious and thoughtful five-year-old who is eagerly anticipating Kindergarten……As a professional and as a parent, I whole-heartedly support Coastal Kids Preschool.”

“Coastal Kids is an extremely important community resource, providing a rich education program for forty-four children, several of whom have special developmental needs.  The Central Lincoln County School System is critically dependent on Coastal Kids to help provide the programs and resources to ensure the success of these children when they enter public school.  I strongly endorse their efforts in serving the children of our communities.”

“The Coastal Kids Preschool program has been a very important resource in our community for the past 13 years.  It is the major provider of development therapy in our area.  The school has served children with a wide range of disabilities and developmental levels.  The design of the curriculum has been well thought out, is developmentally appropriate for children in its classrooms, and grounded in evidence-based practice.  The teachers and staff there have provided a warm and nurturing educational setting for many of our clients.”
