Preschool 101

Effective, June 7, 2024, the City has decided to discontinue offering the Preschool 101 program. Unfortunately, the program has seen a steady decline in the school-year enrollment since the increase in local preschool and TK programming. Summer Preschool 101 Pint-Sized Campers at Newport Coast will continue to run each summer, as it remains a valued and popular program.

The City and school district do offer preschool programming and resources listed below.

Programming and Resources:

City of Newport Beach -

SERVICE
Every year, Youth Council creates and partakes in charitable works that improve their community. In 2019/2020 Every member hosted a toy and food drive to gather items to donate for the OC Thanksgiving Basket Brigade. Donations were sorted and organized into baskets for deserving families in Orange County. Volunteers also delivered the baskets the same day, so they had it in time for Thanksgiving.
