    You can really feel the love here! The teachers all care deeply for the kids, and the kids love being there. We started our son at Discovery when he was 11 weeks old. We had toured several daycares and we just got the right vibe from Discovery. We also loved the size. It was small enough that there was a home-y and caring feel, but large enough that there were lots of resources and activities for the kids. We only needed care for our son on Thursdays and Fridays and they were able to accommodate. The owner (Sally) is so sweet and loving and personally knows each one of the kids at the school. All of the teachers are so good with the kids. They are patient, loving, and understanding. They keep parents updated throughout the day on feedings, diaper changes, naps, and photos with a user-friendly app.

    Our family is so sad to be moving and having to leave Discovery Preschool. From the first email I sent, Mrs. Sally went above and beyond to answer my questions and give me great info. She was very helpful. I had emailed many facilities in our search for a daycare for our son and her response was far beyond anything I received elsewhere. Our son was always very obviously well loved and well taken care of here. He started in the infant room at 8 months, moved to the toddler class from 1-2 years and finished his time in the preschool class. It seemed like every day he was coming home with some new skill or something he had learned. He really thrived at Discovery. Through the app we could see pictures throughout the day, we saved every one because he looks so happy and engaged in the fun activities. The staff we more than very communicative. Management and staff did (in our opinion) a great job dealing with the Covid protocols and restrictions. We felt our son was completely safe and in the best hands, we never worried about him here. Cannot recommend Discovery enough to anyone looking for a daycare/preschool for their littles. Hands down the best- we would not be leaving here if we weren't moving.

    Oceanside Shining Stars Preschool has been an absolute blessing for our daughter and entire family…read more As full-time working new parents, Oceanside Shining Stars has exceeded all of our expectations and not only been an accommodating daycare, but truly an active learning preschool where our baby girl has grown and felt more love than we could have ever imagined! Our daughter has been going to OSS since she was just 6 weeks old and is now in the two year old class. She has learned so much from being in this school, we can actually see it has helped advance her learning compared to other kids her age. Absolutely incredible. She seems to come home each day with a new skill or knowledge about a new topic and we could not feel more comfortable and secure with where we drop our child off for daycare each day. Most days when we pick her up, she literally does not want to leave she is having such a fun time with her friends and loving teachers. The facility is clean with many new updates, and the curriculum they cover is incredibly rich as well. What we love most of all though are the teachers. Each and every teacher is so caring and genuine, accommodating each child's unique needs around learning and experiencing new emotions as they grow. Miss Manal is one of our daughter's dearest teachers and continues to shower her with love each day! All of the teachers, including Shams the owner, share such professionalism and genuine passion for caring for these children, they are amazing and feel like an extension of our family at this point. Another thing that I've noticed is unique about Oceanside Shining Stars is their super active use of the Brightwheel app. It really makes me feel connected to my daughter throughout the day when I receive updates of all her activities, meals and even diaper changes in real time! As a new mom of an infant in daycare, this really helped ease my mind and to this day continues to warm my heart seeing photos and videos of all my daughter's fun activities throughout each day. We highly recommend Oceanside Shining Stars to anyone and everyone looking for child care, We are just so grateful for such a wonderful place for our daughter to be cared for.

My son is excited to come every day!

    It was actually an old draft that had been sitting in my account. I realized I never posted before,…read moreso I went ahead and posted it now. I'm not carrying anything. All good here. Just thought I'd share my experience with others so they aren't surprised. I've had people ask me what I thought about Highland and I've told them, so it seemed fitting to make it public to warn people. Now you are making things up. No profanity was used. How did you even come up with that? You weren't there. Did she make that up or did you? And what disrespect are you talking about? Me being mad? Yes, I was mad, but there was no disrespect. Raising my voice a little out of frustration that I had just told the teacher about my kid's reflux, then less than an hour later I had to pick her up for what you even confirmed was spit up? I missed my deadline and had to rearrange my whole week because of that. You told me I could bring my kid back that same day once you confirmed that the teacher didn't even know what spit up is (yet she is watching 10+ kids all day long). But I refused because I had been called so many times to pick up my child in the past. My kid has since been at another preschool and I haven't been called a single time to pick her up. If anything, your school and the teacher had a clear disrespect of my time and my job on many occasions when you would call me and require me to pick up my kid for silly reasons. Can any other reviewers confirm that this has happened to them as well? I am sure there are some that would say so themselves. I totally understand what I committed to when registering. I didn't know that my kid would be sent home again, and after so many times, I just had enough. I asked for a refund of the deposit, but you refused despite the mistake on your staff's part. That's ok. I figured since that is the case, then an honest review is fair.

    We are so happy with our Highland experience. I was very anxious about sending my daughter to…read morepreschool for the first time, and we toured several facilities to see what was out there and what would be the best fit for us. As soon as we toured Highland, I knew we had found our place. The teachers are so incredibly kind and nurturing, and the Reggio Emilia play-based philosophy they follow is so wonderful. We love how much outdoor time our daughter gets, and she loves telling us about everything she's learning. In addition to the classrooms, there is a garden, mud kitchen, art atelier, and critters for the kids to play with / learn about including Tortilla the tortoise and Larry the chinchilla. Our daughter has been there for nearly a year now and we just couldn't be more pleased. As a mom, it's so important to trust the school and caregivers that interact with your child/children, and Highland is a truly wonderful place to send your kids.

This was my daughter's first time in a school environment, and I was naturally a bit nervous. The teachers (Mrs. Marks and Mrs. Saldaña) took the time to walk me through what to expect and gave helpful guidance on how to navigate those first couple of weeks. They reassured me that the transition period was normal and they were absolutely right. With their support and encouragement, my daughter adjusted beautifully. By week three, she was excited, happy, and eager to go to school each day. The teachers are attentive, caring, and truly invested in the children. I really appreciate how they take the time to provide daily summaries at pickup, so I always know how my daughter's day went. It gives me so much peace of mind. The school also does a great job of keeping parents informed about upcoming events and activities, which helps us stay involved and better support our daughter's growth and development. Overall, I'm so grateful for the positive, nurturing environment they've created. It's clear they genuinely care about the children and their families.

The app is excellent. The teachers are always there to discuss how her day went and responsive if I have a question on the chat to them during the day. She loves all the outdoor time and has been making and maintaining close friendships since she arrived. The school let me throw a foam party for the kids for my daughter's birthday. The teachers organised it, notified the parents, managed clean up. Simply because they knew the kids would love it. They accomodate my requests for her food and keep special treats seperate as I am specific about what she eats. The teachers do things weekly not just for $$ but because the kids will adore it. It's all so very fun and wonderful, growing caterpillars, learning about dinosaurs and the world, planting things and trying science experiments. The experiences kids should have. We love, love, love El Camino and as she is going to Kinder soon we are sad to have to leave. I trust the teachers completely and have a happy daughter coming home everyday. Can't recommend highly enough.

This is a true Montessori environment where children learn through hands-on exploration, independence, and respect for one another.
