Coastline Bible Day School is a CCLD-licensed center-based provider at 426 S. Mills Road in Ventura, serving children from 18 months through kindergarten. With over 50 years of continuous operation in the Ventura community, it stands as one of the city's most established preschools, offering a caring Christian environment where child personality and curiosity are nurtured through faith-based programming under the Coastline Bible Church umbrella. The center operates four age-level classes and maintains a capacity of 70 children under License #561700113. One Type B citation on record (August 2022) warrants parent review of CCLD inspection details, and the absence of public Google reviews limits independent verification of parent experience.
