About

Seaside Preschool at Bayside occupies the campus at 2485 Felspar St in Pacific Beach, 92109, and serves as the infant-and-toddler location of a two-campus preschool operation that also includes a Beachside facility on Turquoise Street. Licensed to care for up to 80 children, the Bayside campus is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and focuses on early childhood development through a play-based curriculum designed to build curiosity, problem-solving skills, and independence. Classrooms are intentionally arranged to encourage exploration, with activities that rotate through singing, dancing, yoga, art projects, and garden tending. Lanna Thai Cuisine on Garnet Avenue is a five-minute drive from the Felspar entrance, making it a go-to for end-of-day takeout. Reviews highlight the staff's warmth and deep knowledge of child development milestones, and the snack program earns praise for being genuinely nutritious. The Bayside location is where many families begin before eventually transitioning their children to the Beachside campus as they grow older, creating continuity across the preschool years. Seaside partners with Kidokinetics to offer a sports-introduction program on campus that exposes toddlers and preschoolers to age-appropriate physical activities in a non-competitive environment. The Felspar Street address sits in a quieter pocket of PB just a block from the Pacific Beach Middle School campus, making it a convenient choice for households with children at multiple age levels. Wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking are available on site. Takeout on hectic Friday evenings is simple with Filippis Pizza Grotto Pacific Beach nearby on Garnet. The indoor-outdoor classroom design gives children fresh air throughout the day, and the school's garden program teaches responsibility and seasonal awareness even to its youngest attendees.
