This welcoming Capitola Preschool is affiliated with the Capitola Community Church and attracts students from all over Santa Cruz County. It boasts an outdoor playground and classrooms equipped with educational toys and crafts. The school's philosophy is built on the belief that if children have good self-esteem, they will be successful throughout life. To that end, teachers offer "hands-on" activities to help students grow emotionally, physically, spiritually and intellectually. Leaders hope to grow the school in size from 26 to 29 students in the upcoming year. Capitola Sonshine Preschool is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International.
