About
Oceanside Shining Stars Daycare and Preschool offers baby sign language, crafts, learning activities, and both music and dance instruction. The program also includes visits from a dance instructor and a “music man” who comes in to sing and dance with the children, as well as field trips planned every couple of months. Daily activities are logged in an app that is updated throughout the day with information such as when a child last ate, slept, or was changed, along with photos.
• Ages: 0–5 years old
• Price: Prices are reasonable
The program operates in a very secure building that requires a pin number to enter. Shams is the owner and is described in parent feedback as extremely involved and as having turned the program around. Parents report that the program cooks breakfast and lunch for the children each day and that teachers are described as friendly, helpful, engaged, and treating children like their own. Multiple parents mention that their children enjoy coming each day, that they receive picture updates and detailed daily reports through the app, and that they feel comfortable and grateful leaving their children in the care of the staff.
The mission statement explains that a group of educators provides children with “love and service absent in other schools,” and that from infancy to age 5 they focus on giving children mental tools to master physical, cognitive, and emotional behaviors for future academic and personal lives. The program states that it has adopted best practices from Reggio-inspired, Montessori, and Waldorf schools to build a foundation of learning for “future innovators of the 21st century.” The mission also states that children are viewed as powerful, competent, and resourceful; that teachers guide children in realizing these qualities; that expectations for children are high and paired with increasingly challenging activities in a fun, safe learning environment; that teachers and parents work together “as one supportive family”; that the school aims to be a warm, supportive, nonjudgmental place; and that staff listen to each child’s unique interests and tailor the curriculum accordingly.
