Preschools long beach california: Edgewater Preschool | Preschool of Long Beach

Childcare Center serving LA, Long Beach, CA areas

Our philosophy is based on the belief that children learn best when exposed to a challenging environment that offers a variety of meaningful hands-on activities and experiences. We believe that preschool children should be allowed to explore their surroundings in order to develop a good sense of problem solving and decision-making. The preschool curriculum, arrangement of furniture and space reflect the interests and needs of the children enrolled in our childcare center. It is very important to meet the basic needs of children such as safety, nourishment and rest for them to be able to achieve proper levels of development. We strive to challenge children’s creativity and to be aware and respectful of their emotional needs and to support and facilitate their social development by providing opportunities for children to build positive self-esteem. We welcome and respect the diversity of cultures and encourage every member of our preschool to share their culture with us. We are facilitators of children’s development fostering their social, emotional, physical and cognitive development for life long learning.

• We have a highly motivated professional staff that cares about your child.
• We have a warm, well designed (built to be a school) environment that encourages independence and free choice.  Our outside space is a continuous learning environment designed to meet the developmental needs of children.
• The entire program encourages independence and freedom of choice with guided activities.
• A structured day is designed to enhance the physical, intellectual, social and emotional development of each child.

Very often the question is asked “What is the difference between day care and preschool?” from parents trying to figure out what would be the best program for their children. The answer is simple, but complicated at the same time. The simple part of the answer is that children 0-5 are constantly learning; therefore, care and education for young children are intertwined, so there should be no difference between the two programs. The complicated part of the answer lays on the issue of quality. A quality preschool or day care center program provides both care and education for young children with teachers who are knowledgeable in the field of Child Development, loving and dedicated professionals to their duties of providing the optimal environment  and activities for children to grow and develop the essential skills for learning.  So when parents are trying to decide on the best type of program for their children, quality should be the deciding factor.

Edgewater Preschool is a family-run business, owned and operated by Alan and Cristiane Foster  (husband and wife) and their wonderful staff. The couple has two daughters who have attended Edgewater; their girls (with the help of the school’s parents and staff) have assisted Alan and Cristiane by maintaining the focus on their mission of providing a quality childcare and educational program.
Cristiane has been in the field of teaching since 1986. She has earned her BA in Physical Education, an AA in Early Childhood Education and completed a Master’s Program in Education with Emphasis in Early Childhood at CSULB.
Alan, who is a retired BMX racer, now works part time in the bicycle industry and shares his wife’s passion for teaching young children. Alan has learned the importance of providing a quality environment for children and their families and he serves as the bookkeeper, marketing, IT and the fix-it guy

They are also the proud owners of another school in Orange, CA www.cvpreschool.com

In the 70s this area was being developed by the Whaley family. This school was built so a grandchild could have a preschool in the area to attend; the building was built with the intention of being a preschool with all classrooms facing the outside yard. Over the last 40 years the school has gone through a few owners and the name has been Los Altos Preschool and Woods-Edgewater Preschool (that we know of). The logo of the two children sitting was hand drawn by one of the parents in the early years. Alan and Cristiane purchased the school from Betty Woods when she retired in December of 2001 and have had a blast being owners ever since.

  Review about: Aquarium of the Pacific

  very far from the city

  I’ve never been to an aquarium before, so maybe there are better ones, but I really liked this one.
  There is a wide variety of all kinds of fish, jellyfish, amphibians, even small penguins. Aquariums are very well lit. Stuck on jellyfish for 20 minutes 😅. What is important, the aquariums are large, so queues do not form to look closer. Went with a 5 year old and he loved it too.

  The only thing, quite far from LA. We also got stuck in a traffic jam, so we drove for 2.5 hours in total.

    Review of: Catalina Express

    Best Express to Catalina Island

    There are three ways to get to the island with the Catalina Express Ferry: from Long Beach, San Pedro and Dana Point. We like the first option, because it offers more options for choosing the time to return home (before 7:30 p.m.). Although this choice is not suitable for travelers to Two Harbors. Other companies limit your stay on Catalina somewhat. You either have to leave in the middle of the day (San Pedro), or pay more for a ticket (Dana Point).

    Our two year old grandson, big fan of Thomas Trains, trip to from out of town. I remembered seeing a bit of a train coming from the 605 southbound freeway past the Long Beach City Center exit, so I searched Google and found Caboose Corners a place still listed as part of El Dorado Park’s long beach attraction; and it’s open on weekends. The entrance fee to the park was $7 at the exit. The trip itself was a reasonable $3 per passenger (child or adult). The path was quite long and the place was clean, open and interesting. As it had rained before so the hotel was not crowded which made it even more enjoyable. My grandson had a great time, then We went to the lake to feed the ducks. There was also a playground with slides nearby (a short car ride in a large park) which makes it a nice, full of picnic for the avid kid. Next time we’ll pack lunch and maybe plan a picnic. For us, this Caboose Corners is much more convenient than having to drive all the way from the North OC HOTEL to Griffith Park to ride the smaller trains.

  Review for: Balboa Island Ferry

  We often walk here

  The island can be reached on foot and by car. We walk around the island enjoying the sunset view. Along the entire embankment there are very interesting houses, all different and attract attention. There are many interesting shops, establishments with ice cream and various sweets on the main street. The only caveat is that there are no toilets. From the island you can take a ferry to the neighboring island and take a walk there, the trip per person will cost $ 1. The ferry transports 3 cars and a large number of people every 10 minutes.

  Review of: Balboa Pier

  Nice feast for walking by the ocean

  The beach at the pier is strange. For some reason, in the middle, along the coastline, sand is piled up like a mountain. I understand that this is so that in case of strong waves they do not reach the embankment. Swimming is cool there, but you can sunbathe. The fir is pleasant for walking.

  Review from: Newport Beach Pier

  Beautiful walking beach

  Beautiful beach, very clean and well maintained. But of course it is more suitable for a leisurely walk than for swimming. The wave is very high. Visitors are increasingly standing at the water’s edge, wetting their feet. Although there are daredevils who jump into the waves and even swim! On the beach, as expected, clean toilets, showers. Very soulful pier. Nearby there are all sorts of bars-restaurants. Parking is right there for a fee.

As the second-busiest shipping container port in the United States, the port handles $170 billion in trade annually and supports 2.6 million jobs nationwide, more than 575,000 in Southern California, and more than 50,000 jobs—or 1 in 5 — in Long. Beach.

The Port of Long Beach is one of the few US ports that can handle today’s largest ships. It serves 175 shipping lines and is connected to 217 seaports around the world. Goods moving through the port of Long Beach originate from or are destined for each US county. In 2019The port handled over 7.6 million container units in 2009, the second best year in its history.

Widely concerned about supply chain issues, the Port continues to take important steps towards the efficient movement of goods, including: continuous cooperation with marine terminals to increase opening hours; creation of temporary bridgeheads for full containers; and encouraging truck drivers to leave export containers when receiving import shipments.

The Port of Long Beach is on the verge of handling more than 9 million shipping containers by the end of 2021 as efforts continue to make room for imports and deliver holiday merchandise as quickly as possible. Dockers and terminal operators moved more than 8. 6 million TEUs in November, already surpassing the current annual record of 8.1 million TEU set in 2020.

The port is on the path to a green future by creating the most modern, efficient and sustainable seaport. As part of an industry-leading $4 billion overhaul program this decade, the port is building some of the most modern, efficient and sustainable offshore facilities in the world to accommodate larger and larger ships while creating thousands of new jobs.

History
The San Pedro Breakwater was built in 1899 and expanded over time to protect the current site of the Long Beach Port. The Port of Long Beach was founded on 800 acres (3.2 km2) of mud flats on June 24, 1911 at the mouth of the Los Angeles River. In 1917, the first Board of Port Commissioners was formed to oversee the operation of the harbour. Due to the booming economy, Long Beach voters approved a $5 million pledge for improvements to the inner and outer harbor in 1924.

In 1971, the expansion of Pier J will build a 55-acre container and vehicle import terminal to become Toyota’s western distribution center. In 1972, International Transportation Service completes a 52-acre container terminal at Pier J with a 1,200-foot jetty and two gantry cranes. Maersk Line Pacific completes a 29-acre container terminal at Pier G. The Port of Long Beach is by then the largest container terminal in America.

In 1979, as relations between the US and China improved, the port sent officials to the People’s Republic of China for the first time. Less than a year later, China Ocean Shipping Co. (COSCO) opened up international shipping and designated Long Beach as its first US port of call. Relations were forged with other international powers, and the South Korean company Hanjin Shipping opened a 57-acre (230,000 m2) container terminal at Pier C of the port in 1991. After that, COSCO established business with the port of Long Beach in 1997.

From the late 1990s to 2011, the Port of Long Beach experienced an increase in traffic and growth through terminal leases. In 1997, about a million containers were sent to the port. By 2005, that number had tripled to almost 3.3 million containers. If outbound containers are included, the number increased from 3 million containers in 1997 to almost 6.7 million containers in 2005.

Redevelopment Project
The Middle Harbor Terminal Renovation Project is a 10-year construction program that combines two aging ship terminals into one of the most modern and environmentally friendly container terminals in the world. Construction under the program worth 1.49billion dollars was launched in 2011. By 2016, the first phase was completed and the first vessel was placed in the new facility. The second phase opened in 2017 and the entire project is due to be completed in 2021. Currently, about 200 acres of the 304-acre future terminal is open and operating as the Long Beach Container Terminal.

When completed, the Long Beach Container Terminal, also known as LBCT, will have an annual capacity of 3.3 million TEUs, more than double the capacity of the two terminals it replaces. With its electrically powered handling equipment, it is one of the cleanest container terminals in the world. The upgraded 4,200-foot marina will be able to accommodate the world’s largest container ships, which will connect to the shore power grid to supply power to the pier by turning off their diesel engines. The terminal, equipped with 14 gantry cranes, can accommodate three ships at once.

The new terminal’s docking station is designed to handle 1.1 million TEUs per year, helping to reduce truck traffic. Construction will create 1,000 temporary jobs per year through 2021, while 14,000 permanent new jobs will be created in Southern California through increased trade.

The terminal complies with the Port’s Green Port Policy and San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan, minimizing or eliminating the environmental impact of shipping operations. The terminal includes new green buildings that meet stringent sustainability standards, including energy and water conservation, and the use of recycled materials.

The Port Community Grants Program aims to reduce the environmental impact of port operations in the community. Projects include parks and open space initiatives, air filters, health programs, cycling and walking infrastructure, and more. Community workshops are held from time to time to seek community input on this program’s priorities.

Environmental Programs
The Port of Long Beach is committed to improving the environment, as evidenced by its 20 years of experience in environmental programs. The green port policy is an aggressive, comprehensive and coordinated approach to reduce the negative impact of port operations.

Green Port Policy
The globally recognized Green Port Policy was adopted by the Port of Long Beach in 2005 to reduce pollution in the growing Los Angeles/Long Beach region. The policy sets a framework to improve wildlife habitat, improve air and water quality, clean up soil and underwater sediments, and create a sustainable port culture.

The guiding principles of the Green Port Policy are to protect the public from the harmful environmental impacts of port operations, highlight the port as a leader in environmental protection and compliance, promote sustainability, use best available technologies to prevent or reduce environmental impacts, and engage and educate the community. Long Beach Harbor is designated protected under the California Gulfs and Estuaries Policy.

Clean Air Action Plan
In 2007, the Port of Long Beach continued its environmental efforts with the Clean Air Action Plan, an air quality program adopted by the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. In recognition, the Clean Air Action Plan was awarded the 2007 American Port Authority Association’s most prestigious award, the Environmental Management Award.

The Clean Air Action Plan also included the use of trucks, which were considered excessively polluting. The Port Commission at the port approved the Clean Truck Program which banned older diesel trucks by October 2008. The program outlined in the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan was to modernize the port’s transportation industry and reduce truck-related air pollution by 80%. % by 2012. Small-haul (drifting) diesel-powered trucks are the main source of air pollution.

Community Grants Program
The Community Grants Program was established in 2016 to award grants to projects that improve air quality and energy efficiency at facilities used by the public. Established by the Long Beach Harbor Board of Commissioners, it is the largest voluntary event of its kind in the nation.

Green Flag Incentive Program
While clean trucks have been in the spotlight, the Port of Long Beach has also taken notice of ships. The Green Flag incentive program was created to encourage ships to slow down in order to improve air quality. The Green Flag Program provides approximately $2 million a year in rebates for ship operators who slow their ships down to 12 knots (22 km/h) or less within 20 miles (32 km) of the harbor.
