A playful blend of friendship, creativity, and foundational skills that builds confidence and prepares curious learners for kindergarten.
Children spend their days exploring nature, visiting our chickens, tending the garden, and playing in the fresh air, building confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of the outdoors.
Through painting, music, crafts, and storytelling, children explore their creativity, express themselves, and build imagination, confidence, and joy.
Through playful, hands-on activities, children explore letters, numbers, early literacy, and problem-solving—building a strong foundation for kindergarten while keeping the joy of childhood at the heart of learning.
We have two locations in Costa Mesa, both of which are fully enrolled for this year and the next school year. We are currently seeking mothers to partner with us in opening another outdoor preschool location, creating more opportunities for families to experience Playdate Preschool, one of the top Costa Mesa preschools.
It all starts right where you are, in your own backyard. A place where children can play, create, and belong… and where you can stay home with your kids, build a beautiful community, and earn meaningful income doing something that fills your heart.
Playdate Preschool began just like that for me, and now I get to help other moms grow their own preschools in Costa Mesa. Together, we’ll bring this little bit of magic to life, step by step, sunshine and all. ☀️
