Sea Turtle Early Learning Centers

at Seaside Charter Beach and Seaside San Jose

2021-2021 Sea Turtle ELC Interest Form
2020-2021 Sea Turtle ELC Interest form
 

Our early childhood program is built around a comforting daily, weekly and yearly rhythm that nourishes the whole child.  Natural materials and simple toys provide our students with ample opportunities  for developing their imagination.   

 The full-day 8:30am to 3:00pm preschool offers classes for preschool age children up to 6 year-olds.  The programs are child-centered and inspired by public Waldorf principles.  Our credentialed teachers receive training in developmentally and culturally appropriate practices, including early childhood training at Steiner College.  


We also offer a Voluntary Prekindergarten  (VPK) for 4-year-olds who are 4 by September 1 of the current school year.  The state funded VPK program provides 3 hours per day of instruction and requires an eligibility certificate from the Duval County Early Learning Coalition.  For families of 4 year olds looking for  a Waldorf program or needing full day care,  we provide a full-day Waldorf wrap around program for our VPK students.
