We absolutely love this in-home daycare! From the moment we walked through the door, we felt welcomed and at ease. The environment is warm, clean, and inviting--just like a second home. It's clear that Misty and Blanca genuinely cares for every child, creating a nurturing and safe space where little ones can learn, play, and grow. My eldest daughter went to Hello Kiddie for 3 years and my second child has been there for a year now. Both of our girls blossomed since starting here. They come home every day excited to tell us about the books they've read, the songs they've sung, and the fun activities they've done. We're also so impressed with how much they've learned--everything from early literacy and numbers to sharing and social skills. They even learned a little bit of Spanish! The small group size allows for lots of personal attention, and we've noticed how well the provider knows our child's personality, needs, and milestones. Communication is excellent--we get regular updates, photos, and honest feedback that helps us stay involved. They are also super amazing with helping with potty training. If you're looking for a loving, reliable, and enriching daycare, this is it. We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our child to grow and thrive! read more

Hello Kiddie Daycare was a wonderful experience for our family. The staff is incredibly caring and really pays attention to both the emotional and educational needs of the kids. My daughter always felt safe and loved there, and it showed in how excited she was to go each day. By the time she started kindergarten, she already knew how to write her name and read basic words. It was the perfect foundation, and I'm so grateful for the thoughtful, supportive environment they created. read more

Misty and Blanca are absolutely amazing! My son has been going for over a year and he absolutely loves going! The knowledge program that they have is wonderful. Everyday my son is learning something new and telling me what he learned that day. At home he is a picky eater, but for Misty and Blanca he eats great! Absolutely recommend, 10/10! read more

We love Misty and Blanca!! Our daughter has been going there for almost a year now since we moved to the area, and she will be 3 soon. The environment has always felt so safe and loving. My daughter loves going and loves showing me the crafts she makes every day. Misty is also very communicative and very supportive. Also when we went through potty training our daughter, they were very understanding, which I am so grateful for. Highly recommend to anyone! read more

My daughter has attended hello kiddie daycare for almost a year and it's the best daycare ever! Love the fact that it's private and personal. Misty & Blanca do so well with teaching the kids! My daughter has come such a long way in social skills and her academics. It's a well structured program. Highly recommend :) read more

Misty and Blanca are absolutely amazing! They've been incredibly helpful in taking care of my toddler. My little one loves being here with the other kids, and the place has such a great structure--set schedules with fun activities, nap time, snacks, and everything in between. I highly recommend this place! You're definitely in good hands! read more

We're a military family so finding a place you can trust with your little when you're so new to the environment can be hard. After interviewing a few other places I found I was most impressed with Setup of Hello Kiddie. I felt Misty gave the best impression of a place that would care for my daughter on a personal level. After a month of care I was confident in this notion especially in interacting with those who assisted day to day. My daughter looked forward to her days at Hello Kiddie and it was bittersweet to say goodbye. If you want a warm environment where you can be sure your child is cared for on a basic AND personal level I highly recommend. read more

My son has been with Misty and Blanca for over 2 years and his transition has been night and day! When Kane started he was in speech therapy possibly knowing 10 words. Now he is Mr. Gossip and bilingual. These two ladies are so calm and patient with the kiddos. They know all the kid's strengths and weaknesses and work on them. Kane will be going into Kindergarten a step above the rest because of Kiddie Daycare! Thank you Misty and Blanca for all the Mother's Day handmade gifts, birthday parties, and making my son into the man he is today. read more

The staff is amazing super attentive and you can tell that they care and love what they do!!!

I absolutely LOVE Hello Kiddie DayCare! Misty and her team are outstanding in every facet. I moved to Oceanside and was looking for a great daycare for my girls. I came across Hello Kiddie but had always been skeptical of home daycare. But after meeting with Misty and speaking to some parents I enrolled my girls... one of the best decisions I've ever made! My girls love going to daycare and they're learning a ton. My eldest goes over her Spanish every day after daycare. I feel 100% comfortable dropping my girls off at Hello Kiddie, I know they will be cared for, safe, have fun and learn... I couldn't ask for more. read more

Our daughter has been enrolled with Misty for the passed few months and we are extremely happy with the care we receive. Our daughter is 2, and we have noticed that her speech has greatly improved since attending. She is constantly singing new songs, can count to 20 on her own and up to 10 in Spanish, and she is also talking in complete sentences. She also comes home with a different art project almost every day. They accept ages 2-5, so it's nice to see her interact with older kids. Misty pays great attention to detail and really gives her all to the kids. She celebrates each birthday and all holidays. They recently had a Christmas pageant where the kids performed songs for the parents and Santa Claus visited. read more

Our daughter has been attending Hello Kiddie Daycare for a couple of years, and are very happy with the care that Misty, Blanca, and the whole has staff has provided her. When we first enrolled her she was timid and unsure of new people after being at home through Covid, but now she looks forward to going learn, play with her friends, and often to enjoy Misty's breakfast instead of what we prepare. We feel very fortunate to have found Hello Kiddie, and that we know our daughter will be ready for TK in the Fall. read more

I wanted to bring my kids to a smaller more personal daycare setting and have been taking my kids to Hello Kiddie Daycare for 5 years; my kids absolutely love it. They provide breakfasts, lunch, and snacks and encourage the kids to stay hydrated throughout the day. I was surprised to hear my kids say some Spanish words the center taught them! Whenever I pick my kids up at the end of the day it is difficult to get them out the door because they have so much fun. The kids have a lot of outdoor play at the playground close by. They are always festive with the holidays, have a summer luau party with Moana, and always plan something special for the parents on Mother's Day & Father's Day. I always appreciate when the teachers update me on how my children's day went, it's easy to see that the people at hello kiddie daycare love what they do. read more

Hello Kitty Daycare is top notch! The staff is incredibly welcoming and loves children! I would highly recommend this daycare!

Misty and her team created a safe, fun and caring learning environment which our 3 year old daughter enjoys

Our young 2 year old daughter has been enrolled with Misty at Hello Kiddie Daycare for the last two months and it has been such a great decision for our family and little one. Misty is so sweet and caring, she genuinely loves kids and makes it her mission to provide love and care for all of the little's in her program. I love that Misty has set a schedule/routine for the kids including a circle time, working on numbers, letters, colors, shapes, etc... Misty always organizes art projects with the kids and provides nutritious meals. Her helper, Blanca, is also amazing, great with the kids and very caring. My husband and I both feel at ease with our daughter at Hello Kiddie and I would recommend this in-home daycare to anyone in the area! read more

My 2 year old son has been going here for a year now, Misty and Blanca are amazing with kids and make everyone feel like family. We are moving out of state and I am so bummed we can't take them with us! This is the first daycare I've found that my son has never cried being dropped off at. All the kids play so well together and Misty and Blanca do an amazing job with teaching as well- he knows his ABCs already and can count to 20! I love everything about this daycare, not sure if I will find another one like them again!! read more

BEST DAYCARE/PRESCHOOL AROUND !!! We absolutely adore Ms.Misty and Ms.Blanca and Ms. Leslie . They are with our son all day teaching him and showing him how to do all the big boy stuff making sure he feels loved and secure at the same time . They are more than childcare providers they are part of "our village" And it makes me so happy to know if i cannot be home with my son he is extremely well cared for . If your looking for Childcare (which i know is one of the hardest things to do now a days ) HELLO KIDDIE DAY CARE Is all you need to find !!!! Thank you Ladies for taking such good care of our Little Stinky --- Christina and Kyle ...and Wyatt read more

Hello Kiddie Daycare has been a lifesaver. Leaving your kid all day is hard in itself, but Blanca and Misty both are so wonderful you won't even think twice about dropping your kid off. I never worry about my daughter when she's in their care. My child has never come home with a diaper rash or an unexplained bruise/scrape.. and that speaks volumes. The price they charge is reasonable as they include breakfast, snack and lunch. My daughter is always coming home with something new.. a project or language! She's two and can count to ten in English and Spanish. They celebrate each birthday and holiday which is fun for the kids as there is something always to look forward to. My daughter doesn't even want to leave when I pick her up and calls for Blanca over the weekends at home lol! I couldn't thank them enough even if I wanted to. read more

I wanted to check back in and update my review!!! My little one is now almost 4 and she is doing so great at Hello Kiddie Daycare!!! Not only has her speaking increased and in full sentences, but she knows her numbers, colors, shapes, alphabet and colors, numbers, days of the week in Spanish! This Pre-K curriculum has been great for my daughter is so proud that she knows these things and can communicate clearly! Thank you Miss Misty & Miss Blanca! read more

Misty and her team do a great job with the kids, my daughter has learned so much, and is always wanting to go back even on the days she is not going to daycare. They provide great learning activities, celebrate holidays and birthdays and the kids get to be active and go to the park. My daughter loves it there so much it's all she mentions. They are very professional and provided us with updates as the day went with pictures when my daughter was new and adjusting. I highly recommend this day care and so happy we found it. read more

Misty the owner, and her helpers helped my son how to interact with people, especially with fellow kids. My son is always happy going here. Everytime I picked him up, he's always happy. He loves playing with his fellow kids. I would recommend this daycare to anyone in Oceanside area. Now my son is in kindergarten and thanks to Misty and her helpers for all the time they spent teaching my son good values. read more

My daughter has been going to Hello Kiddie since she was 3-now about to turn 5 and she loves this place! There are many times she doesn't want to leave when I go pick her up at the end of the day. Misty and Blanca and the rest of the ladies that help fill in are wonderful. Very loving and caring with all of the kids. read more

My daughter has been going to this daycare for the past three months, in that time she has learned a lot of new words, and interacts better with other kids now. My daughter never wants to leave when I pick her up. She really enjoys going here. I plan to keep her in until she's too old. read more

Our 2-year-old has been going to Hello Kiddie Day Care for the past 4 months and we couldn't be happier with our decision for the care of our little girl. Misty and her assistant Blanca provide a fun and safe environment for the kids that include social interaction as well as learning through story time and arts and crafts. We like the communication we have received from Misty and Blanca about our little one's progress and general activities throughout the day. We also appreciate their attention to their nutritious meals and regular cleaning of toys and books. The happiness our little girl expresses when going to see Misty and Blanca and all her Friends at Hello Kiddie, shows my wife and I that we made the right decision. I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a conscientious and caring in-home daycare provider. read more

I had high hopes that Hello Kiddie Daycare would work for our family. The location is perfect for us (super close to home), rates are affordable and comparable to other home daycares in the area, and meals are provided (breakfast, lunch, snack). I also really liked the home environment versus the center environment for my twin girls since they had barely turned two when we started. Misty has a ton of toys/books/stuffed animals for the kids to play with. They have circle time and a different art activity planned every day. One of my twins picked up the days of the week in Spanish and is now counting in both English and Spanish. Although it is probably mostly rote memorization at this point, it is super cute to hear her reciting the days of the week in Spanish around the house. Weather permitting, the kids get to play outside every day (once in the backyard, once at the park nearby). I also appreciate Misty's enthusiasm for all of the holidays and that she throws a little birthday party for each kid. My experience with having fraternal twins with very different personalities and working full-time is that it can be challenging to find a daycare/preschool environment that is the right fit for both children. My mellower kiddo has some extra needs that Misty/Blanca were good about accommodating, which I really appreciated. Despite being maxed out at 12 kids almost every day (numbers were lower when we started, which IMO was way better given the small environment) and the fact that the kids watch TV before naptime every day, I would have considered keeping her there longer had it not been for the way that Misty went about giving us notice for my other daughter, which I found to be extremely unprofessional. My other kiddo is very high energy and had an increasingly difficult time at this daycare. I do think that they did the best that they could but I also know that her behavior frustrated them and it showed. The apparent lack of knowledge about basic behavior management exacerbated the situation. In the end, I just do not think it is the best environment for a high-energy or strong-willed child. read more

Misty and Blanca are so kind and patient. I have been taking my son to Hello Kiddie for over a year and he has become so much more confident and loves being there. Misty and Blanca have so many activities planned and projects for the kids to do. I love seeing all the creative things they do and have run out of space to put all of his projects! read more

Both of my daughters attended Hello Kiddie from the time they turned 2 until they started kindergarden. Misty does a great job of providing the kids with a fun interactive learning experience with the kids learning new songs, learning spanish, creating creative art projects and just treating the kids in such a loving sweet manner. How we miss seeing her and her helpers. They're a great team and I couldn't recommend a better location for learning and fun for kids! read more

Hello Kiddie is a pretty awesome daycare! My daughter just loves it there - she gets so excited when we drop her off in the mornings. Misty communicates very well and she is always keeping me informed of what type of day my daughter had. As first time parents, its always nerve-racking when trying to find care for your little one, but Misty put our minds at ease, and the way my daughter interacted with her let me know that she would be in a safe, friendly environment. I highly recommend! read more

I love Misty and Hello Kiddie Daycare. I currently have one child attending and one graduate! My first was there from age 2 until he started Kindergarten last year. He was so well prepared for school with the great learning and socializing skills he received at HKD! His reading, writing and creativity was quite advanced when he started school which has made his first year experience a positive one! My daughter has been there about a year and at age 3 she can already read a little! She loves going there so I feel happy when I drop her off and can go to work knowing my child is well protected and genuinely cared for. I am so grateful that I found this place and thankful to Misty and her helpers for the quality care my children have received. Many thanks! read more

Misty and Blanca are wonderful! My daughter has been thriving at Hello Kiddie and we are so grateful that we found such a perfect fit for our toddler. The kids have a structured day of play, learning and crafts and our daughter comes home talking about all of the fun she's had. Misty is great about letting you know the plan for the day and how everything went at the end of the day. read more

My daughter started here when she was a baby she was very shy and wasn't to out going. After starting here she was able to make friends and talk more and more every day after she came home . She learned so much and I believed it helped her get ready for kindergarten. This place is awesome and would recommend to anyone who wants to start a pre school background to kids learning read more

Hello Kiddie Day Care is AMAZING!!!! My boys have been going here for about a year. They have learned so much, they have made amazing friends, and have so much fun. I love getting their art work and listening to them tell me what they have learned. If you are looking for day care look no further because you found an excellent place. read more

Misty is fantastic to work with! We are very happy with this daycare. Highly recommended & affordable.

Misty is such an amazing person, and unbelievable with children. My daughter was in her preschool from about 2 1/2 until she started kindergarten and she began kindergarten so far ahead of all of her peers and that has given her such a confidence boost that I can 100% attribute to Misty's kind and caring attitude and strong work ethic with the children. She is also so understanding and calm with all the children in her care it has always amazed me! I recommend Misty and Hello Kiddie daycare to everyone! read more

My son has been going to Hello Kiddie for just 3 months now, but what an incredible experience it has been! Going in, we were concerned he was delayed in speech and 3 months later, not only is he a non stop chatter box, but he knows his colors in English and Spanish, numbers 1-20 in English and 1-10 in Spanish, and on his days off from daycare he begs to go to daycare. Misty and Blanca are incredible care takers and educators, and the level of patience I've seen them demonstrate is admirable. I love that meals are included and that they somehow manage to get my picky toddler to actually eat! He comes home with art projects and stories of his fun days, and is always exhausted from the activities which keep him mentally and physically engaged! I can't say enough great things about our experience and love seeing the transformation in our little guy in such a short time - but love even more that HE loves it! read more

Hello Kiddie is a wonderful daycare that provides excellent childcare. My daughter loves it there. I must admit it is a little pricey but after pricing out other daycare's i am convinced that you get what you pay for. The staff is very attentive to my child's needs. They have arts n crafts Spanish xmas plays nutrition program. My daughter looks forward to seeing the other kids an Ms Misty. read more

Although my wife is a stay at home mom we felt it was important for our daughter to get used to a more structured day and interacting with other children so she would be prepared for Kindergarten. Hello Kiddie has far exceeded what we had hoped for our daughter. Their pre-k curriculum has taught our daughter the alphabet, shapes, colors, and numbers. Our daughter is not quite 4 and could easily handle Kindergarten. This is by far the most caring group of people I have met, second only to my own Mom. They have lots of events for the kids, a summer Luau, gym bus, they put on a awesome Christmas play that includes a visit from Santa (real beard by the way) and his sack full of presents. They also provide breakfast, lunch and snack. They have a small playground in back and a community playground that the kids love. Our daughter is always excited about the crafts they do and what she learned. We found exactly what we were looking for at Hello Kiddie. A good learning environment to prepare our daughter for school and the interaction with other kids. I couldn't say enough good things about them. read more
