Mission Hills Community Preschool

Our Vision

At Missions Hills Community Preschool (MHCP), we believe in the boundless potential of every child. We nurture their natural curiosity and inspire them to become confident, well-rounded individuals through play-based learning and exploration. Guided by experienced educators, children discover their unique voices and build essential social and emotional skills.

Our Beginnings

Established in 1971, MHCP has been a San Diego staple, providing quality early childhood education for over 50 years. Drawing inspiration from the Reggio approach, we blend elements of Waldorf and Montessori methodologies to create a unique learning environment.

Our Approach

Our child-centered approach emphasizes inquiry-based learning and fosters a love for exploration. We believe in:

• Supporting individual learning journeys: Each child learns differently, so we provide individualized guidance and tailor activities to their needs.
• Nurturing curiosity: We encourage children to explore their surroundings, ask questions, and experiment with different materials and concepts.
• Developing social-emotional skills: Through guided activities and conflict resolution scenarios, we help children learn to manage their emotions, communicate effectively, and build meaningful relationships.
• Promoting creativity and problem-solving: We encourage imaginative play, open-ended exploration, and collaborative projects that stimulate young minds.
