We are beyond grateful for the incredible care our son received at Melrose Child Care from the time…read morehe was 9 months old until he was a little more than 2 years old. This place truly became his second home, and we couldn't have asked for a better environment for his early years. The only reason we made the decision to leave was because we moved. Mrs. B and Mrs. Elena are exceptional caregivers who made our son feel loved and secure every single day. Their warmth and dedication were evident in every interaction, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about his well-being and development. From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted with smiles and a positive atmosphere that made leaving our little one so much easier. Mrs. B has a remarkable ability to connect with children, and her patience and kindness helped our son thrive. She always took the time to engage him in fun and educational activities, fostering his curiosity and creativity. Mrs. Elena's nurturing nature was a perfect complement, providing a comforting presence that made our son feel safe and cherished. Their combined efforts created a balanced and enriching environment that supported his growth in every way. Melrose Child Care is clean, safe, and well-organized, with plenty of stimulating toys and learning materials. The structured routine helped our son develop a sense of security and predictability, while still allowing for plenty of playtime and exploration. We appreciated the regular updates and communication, which kept us informed about his progress and daily activities. At times, our 6 year old daughter would spend the day when she had her random school breaks and she cried one of the days because I was picking her up too early which she's never done previously. As parents, we couldn't be happier with the care our son received. He looked forward to going to Mrs. B's every day, and it was clear that he was happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend this childcare center to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their child. Mrs. B and Mrs. Elena are true gems, and we will always be grateful for the wonderful start they provided for our son.

I cannot recommend Kids Castle enough! My 2-year-old has been attending since last September, and…read moreit has been the perfect fit for our family. Before finding this wonderful at-home care facility, my child had a poor experience at a local large daycare, which left us nervous. However, she settled in very quickly at Kids Castle and is now happy to go in and play every single day. The small team of women who run it are incredibly professional, polite, and caring. Their communication skills are excellent, which makes me feel so relaxed leaving my child there. The quality of care and activities is top-notch. They cover everything from reading, counting, and learning colors to dancing, cooking, arts and crafts, and vital social-emotional learning. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Kids Castle and truly hope we can stay here until my child reaches TK!

Both of my children attended daycare at Three Little Owls. My son was in the infant room and my…read moredaughter in the preschool. We toured numerous daycare centers in Vista, and Three Little Owls was the obvious choice for a number of reasons. First, it was by far the cleanest daycare center we toured. The teachers and owners are extremely vigilant about daily cleaning and sanitizing. It was also opened more recently so all of the toys, supplies, and furniture are very new and clean. Next, they make all meals fresh for the students, daily. My son started at six months when he began solids and I was so impressed with the food they offered him. (They make the babies homemade bone broth puree!) my daughter also loved all of the homemade meals and snacks in the preschool. Lastly, the owners and teachers all truly love the students. My husband and I both work full time and leaving our babies everyday is hard. However, I always felt so confident that they were loved and cared for by every teacher at Three Little Owls. You don't find teachers that compassionate and invested in the children at every daycare. It is truly a special place. I highly recommend Three Little Owls to anyone looking for childcare. We are so grateful for all they have done for us.
