Run by San Diego Unified School District as a state-funded preschool at 4741 Santa Monica Avenue, Ocean Beach Pre School serves income-eligible children ages three through five at no tuition cost. The campus shares grounds with OB Elementary, and families supplement the half-day academic program with physical-activity and swim offerings at T. Claude and Gladys B. Ryan Family YMCA nearby. Curriculum follows California's Preschool Learning Foundations across cognitive, language, physical, and social-emotional domains. Art and creative expression rotate through the weekly schedule, feeding early interest in visual and performing disciplines that older students explore at Point Loma Arts Academy. The kindergarten-readiness track culminates in a transition portfolio documenting each child's growth across all developmental domains.
