You can tell she loves to go to school and see her teachers and friends. She's learned so much and made great friends here, not to mention I've become very close with other moms and made my own group of friends from here. Everyone is friendly and they have so much fun stuff to do in their playground. I don't even live close by but make the long commute daily because I don't want to move her.

When we started with our 2 yr old in 2019, it was priced at $1800 per month. But they had long term…read morestaff, great educational program and were great at communicating. Now that we added our 2nd at the same age, price has double at $3,100 per month. But staff turnover, and poor morale has significantly decreased their care. Each year they'll increase the fees by 10% but staff do not see this reflected in their salaries. NOTE: the increase to fees started yearly prior to COVID, and benefits of a tuition free week was no longer available post COVID but prices continue to increase. Staff leaving after 5+ yrs of dedication due to a 50cent increase per hr was denied by management.

We have sent all of our children through Kids Care Club in the span of 8 years. The fact that we…read morehad familiar faces even when we came back with our youngest shows how committed the staff and team are to fostering a healthy, safe, and happy work environment. The facilities are always so tidy, there's always someone to greet you warmly at the door, and Tobi and Katie along with the teachers are so communicative about everything related to your child! My kids have always come home singing songs and learning so much - by the time my oldest started Kindergarten they were already reading, writing, and way ahead of their peers - and it's all thanks to KCC. Sad to leave as our youngest moves upward and onward, but truly a gem in local childcare. We'll miss you!

The only reason I chose this site was because it was open from 6-6 and when I got my first…read moreappointment to tour I confirmed this with the staff. The director was supposed to give me the tour did not show up to the appointment but another staff member was kind enough to step in. They have since decided that they are not opening until 6:30 and are trying to say they told me at my tour but I made sure to confirm this. I show up at 6:30 every morning and they are never ready for children so I am 10-15 minutes behind. It is frustrating that the website still says 6-6 and they get mad at you for being there at 6:30 as if you were inconveniencing them. I talked to the director and she was rude.

We could not be more happy with Kindercare. The entire staff (Ms Veronika especially) was incredible with all of the challenges that popped up.

We could not have made it through this tough year without Ms. Alma and her staff. I would highly recommend their learning pod program to anyone who needs safe productive childcare.

We truly love La Petite Sabre Springs. Three of my children have gone to this school and it has…read morebeen such a positive experience every time. My youngest son is in preschool part time with Ms. Sumana and Ms. Yamni. We were really worried about his speech because he barely talked, but after being in school for eight months he is talking so much and can recognize most of his alphabet and numbers. He loves going to school and he even asks to go on the days he stays home. Ms. Sumana, Ms. Parvaneh, and Ms. Liz were also my older kids teachers from 2018 to 2021. My older son still talks about how Ms. Parvaneh helped him learn everything he needed so he could be ready for elementary school. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It feels like a fun, welcoming environment every time we walk in. We are really grateful for this school and highly recommend it.

The entire staff and all the teachers are incredibly warm, loving, and genuinely care for the children. They take wonderful care of the kids and create a very nurturing environment. I also deeply appreciate and agree with their teaching philosophy, which has been amazing for my girls' development. Another detail that really stands out is their commitment to providing high-quality educational materials; everything from the paper to the pens and art supplies is top-notch. I highly recommend this school to any parent!

While we had a great experience with the educators, we cannot recommend this school because of the…read moreadministration. They have lofty ideals but are not able to implement it. Ms. Angela, the social-emotional support specialist is especially incompetent at her job. My advice is to never share with her any difficulty your child is going through because she will use it to define your child for the rest of their time at Dot to Dot, even after the difficulty has long been overcome. They claim to work with parents but the truth is that they are deaf to what parents have to say and just want a one way communication. Dot to Dot is also closed for many more days than other preschools and this makes it hard for working parents.

(Coronavirus hit and we left and then soon my daughter will go to Kindergarten.) For those 5 months we had a wonderful experience all around. From Christine and Christina managing the front, to the lovely teachers, it was a fantastic experience overall. My daughter learned so much and loved going to school. I personally watched a couple science sessions with Ms. Kay and they were so interesting and fun. And the writing with Ms. Sangeeta was so great! She was extremely patient and she spends time with each of the kiddos to practice writing. This school is a wonderful place for the kiddos and is a great prep for kindergarten. Even with a large gap because of the coronavirus, I am confident my daughter is ready for school next year!

But Miss Tina, Miss Hazel, Miss Sarah, Miss Shar, Miss Sammy and Miss Carolyn. They greeted us with these big, genuine smiles and knelt down right away to say hi to her, not me.

She comes home giggling about songs and crafts, and I leave every morning knowing she's in the best hands. If you're nervous about preschool, this place makes it easy to breathe."

My Room to Grow - A Truly Wonderful School…read more We absolutely love My Room to Grow! Our son, Tristan, started in the Peach Room and is now in TK, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, the warmth, dedication, and experience of the teachers have been evident. Not only in how they care for the children, but in how long many of them have been with the school. That kind of consistency speaks volumes about the culture My Room to Grow has built. The teachers here are incredible. Every single one we have met has gone above and beyond to help Tristan learn, grow, and thrive. Carina and Kathy, in particular, have shown such patience, care, and creativity in supporting his development. And Principal Meghan is so thoughtful and engaged, she genuinely knows and cares about every child and family. We have seen tremendous progress in Tristan in just a year and a half, and we are so grateful for the loving environment that has helped him flourish. In fact, we chose to keep him here another year, even though he qualified for Universal TK through Poway Unified, because we simply couldn't imagine a better place for him to continue learning and growing. Our only regret is not finding My Room to Grow sooner! It's such a comfort to know that while I am at work, Tristan is in the hands of people who truly care for him and want the best for him. We feel so lucky to be part of this wonderful community. -- Update: I also wanted to share that my son is diagnosed with ADHD and is on the autism spectrum (verbal and high-functioning). While My Room to Grow isn't a special needs school, they truly go above and beyond to see if they can make accommodations to support each child's individual needs. What was especially helpful when we were considering enrolling Tristan was that they allowed him to visit the school ahead of time to make sure the environment and teachers were the right fit. The staff genuinely care and are willing to collaborate with our Behavioral and Developmental OT therapists to ensure strategies are reinforced consistently at school. I can't express enough gratitude for the compassion, patience, and dedication of every teacher at My Room to Grow. They have made such a difference in Tristan's growth and confidence.
