SEASHORE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Early Foundations of Excellence
Seashore's innovative early childhood program at Mission Viejo blends the essentials of early education with a vibrant learn-through-play approach. Our method focuses on pre-academic learning within engaging, interactive environments where imagination and hands-on activities take center stage.
Central to our philosophy is the belief that children thrive and learn most effectively through engaging, playful experiences that stimulate their curiosity and development. At Seashore, kids embark on a journey of discovery and play, where every activity is crafted to lay the foundations for their educational journey in a beautiful and welcoming setting.

Patriotism
Seashore's patriotic curriculum involves learning the pledge of allegiance, singing patriotic songs, wearing red, white, and blue uniforms, and learning about creating community.
