I don't know why it surprises me that the holiday season is upon us already. The weather today definitely has me feeling in the Christmas spirit!! Brrr ❅
The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is busy and fun here at Coastal!! Miss Caitlin, our fabulous kindergarten teacher, plans the most amazing Holidays Around the World Unit for her class and our four year old classes!! The kids have so much fun pretending to board a plane and get their little passports stamped! They fly all over the world, learning how other people celebrate holidays!
This time of year is also busy for us here as we prep for enrollment for the next school year! It's always so exciting and we LOVE meeting potential students at our Open House. We will be holding our Open House in February. This is an opportunity for parents to tour our facility and meet our staff prior to enrollment. Please check back for more information in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, if you are interested in your child starting preschool NOW, we are holding a second enrollment period for our afternoon preschool classes. These classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:15pm to 3:45pm. We would love to have your child join us! We run our afternoon program as close to our morning program as possible. While attending our afternoon program does not guarantee you a spot in our morning program the following school year, we do offer a priority enrollment period you can participate in that will increase your chances.
If you are interested in enrolling your child in our afternoon preschool, please contact us at 910-383-3919 or email melissa@coastaldayschool.com for more information!! We'd love to get you signed up to start on January 4th!
We are excited to bring back our afternoon preschool program again this school year!

We are SO excited to be planning the 2023-2024 school year and hope your family will be joining us!!! We will be hosting an Open House on Thursday, February 16th from 6:30pm to 7:30pm for parents to see our facility and meet our staff. We would love to meet you that evening and answer any questions you may have!!
Enrollment starts on March 1st at 7pm. We will post a link right here on our blog. It will ask for your name and phone number. Please double check your phone number before submitting your form. All submissions are timestamped and we will give out available spaces in the order of the submissions. Once all spaces are filled, we will start our waiting lists.

If you do receive a space, you will have one week to submit completed paperwork and the New Student Fee of $200.00. You can find our paperwork here.
We are looking forward to another fun-filled year here at CDS and hope that your family will be a part of it!!
We love welcoming our little friends to school each morning! Below you will find what our drop-off and pick-up looks like each day.
For the first week of school, we offer a staggered start each morning so parents are able to walk their child to class. We do not have enough parking spaces for every parent to arrive at the same time so it is very important that you follow your child's assigned time.
Kindergarten students may be walked in between 8:55am to 9:05am
Four Year Old students may be walked in between 9:05am and 9:15am
Three Year Old students may be walked in between 9:15am and 9:25am
Two Year Old students may be walked in between 9:25am and 9:35am
If you have children in multiple classes, please arrive at your youngest child's assigned time.
Starting week two, we do not allow morning walk in. All students must be dropped off in our morning drop-off line outside. Cars enter our drop-off line on the right side of our building and circle around the back of the building. Cones, signs, and staff members will direct you where to go. Drop-off line starts at 9am. Teachers come to your car for you to hand your child off and the teachers walk them to class. Again, we do not have enough parking spaces for all parents to park, and it creates a dangerous situation, so all students must utilize the morning drop-off line.
We will be holding a special enrollment period for families that have completed at least one full year with us previously that now have a younger sibling ready to attend preschool for the 2023-2024 school year! Yay!!
You may stop by between 10am and noon the week of February 13-17 or you can email jodi@coastaldayschool.com your completed paperwork. The registration packet can be found *here*. We need the completed paperwork along with the New Student Fee to secure your child's space. You can pay the New Student Fee via Paysimple at this link.
We are so excited to welcome you back and can't wait to catch up!!! If you have any questions, please let us know!
We are SO excited that your family is interested in joining our family here at Coastal Day School!! Our school is full of amazing teachers and students and we are sure your little one would be a great addition! Our school year runs from the beginning of September through the end of May. Children must be the age of the classroom they wish to join by August 31st.
We do not offer private tours; however, we do offer Open Houses throughout the year for new families to come and see our facility, meet our staff, and ask any questions they may have! The only exception would be if you received a space in our program and you were unable to attend one of our Open Houses. We would then offer a private tour prior to your deadline to turn in paperwork and the New Student Fee. We advertise all Open Houses on our blog and our Facebook page.
If you found us mid-year and would like to be added to our waiting list (we only have a waiting list for our current year-we do not have waiting lists for future years), please email jodi@coastaldayschool.com. Please include your name, your child’s name, and your child’s birthdate. If a space opens, we will contact you to set up a private tour and go over all enrollment information with you. *Waiting lists do not roll over year to year. For example, if your child is on the waiting list this year for our two-year-old program, they do not automatically receive a space in the three-year-old program and will not be added to the three-year-old waiting list unless you add them. Our waiting lists start over every year after Open Enrollment in March.
Open Enrollment is March 1st each year at 7pm. This is done online and is first come, first serve. All information for enrollment is advertised on our blog beginning in mid-January. This is the only time to enroll unless you received a space from being on our waiting list. Again, we do not offer tours before or after enrollment unless you received a space and were unable to attend an Open House.
Please take the time to review our Handbook on our website and check out our old blog posts. We would be happy to answer any questions you were unable to find on there!!
