    Our kid started at the preschool here years ago, and it's been such a great experience. It also…read moreprepared our kid really well for Kindergarten! It's a wonderful school with amazing teachers! My kid enjoys it so much that sometimes it's hard to get him to leave at the end of the day, which has always made me feel good about the decision to go here. The school director, Lori has always been kind and helpful. She's also easy to get a hold of to ask questions through the app the school uses for signing in& out, and for communication. The summer school they offer is a great way for kids to play with their friends over the summer, instead of just vegging out in front of the tv while you get stuff done. :) The preschool has many flexible options regarding days per week, and half or full days. Our kid enjoyed it so much, including going to chapel once a week with his class, and getting to know Pastor Bob, and Rachel who is Director of Youth and Care Ministries, that the family started attending church here in 2025. We're still getting to know people here at the church, but from the very beginning this congregation has made us feel SO welcomed. The people here are authentic, and the love they have for Jesus is real. Coming to church here gives us the warm happy feelings, sort of like when we'd go visit extended family we really like. Between the 2 morning services on Sunday, there's adult bible study led by the Pastor, while the kids attend their own Sunday school. We enjoy the Bible study so much that we're planning on joining the Wednesday ones as well. You can go to their website and find all the events and times. Throughout the year, the church offers a Foundations class that can be helpful to new members, and is a great place to learn what the church believes & practices, as well as a good time to ask questions and get to know the Escondido & San Marcos campus Pastors Bob & Matt. Both Pastors are wonderful! Pastor Bob is mainly at the Escondido campus. We really like how he teaches from the Bible, and how he explains things. He's thoughtful, has a good sense of humor, humble, and ISN'T some righteous preacher talking down to the congregation, like I've unfortunately experienced at some other churches throughout my life. I can be quite shy when faced with a large group of people I don't know, which is why for so many years after moving back to the area to be near family we never attended any church. That's why I'm so grateful to this wonderful preschool, that lead us to this beautiful church. My family and I highly recommend Community Lutheran Church and Preschool, especially to those who want to attend church but might be nervous to try a new place.

    Affordable, caring, structured. We were so lucky to hear about CLCP. Three different sources…read morepraised this preschool and our tour of the place proved true. The student/teacher ratio is small, the tuition is the most affordable and location is easily accessible. But most importantly is the guidance and loving instruction the teachers provide for their students. Our grandchildren suddenly needed a nurturing preschool environment where they learned positive and structured education at a very young age. Couched in love, faith and understanding, they blossomed and became better versions of themselves. We were amazed daily with their social growth and understanding of how they fit in this world comfortably. we are most grateful we found this loving environment.

Naturally, we were a bit nervous about making a switch when he was so young--but the transition couldn't have gone more smoothly. He quickly settled in and formed bonds with both the teachers and the other children. One of the things we really appreciate is their communication. They share photos throughout the day (which my husband and parents especially enjoy) and provide updates at pickup. It's clear that a lot of thought goes into their daily activities too--they're creative and engaging. We've seen meaningful growth in our son, both developmentally and socially. He truly thrives around other kids, and we credit much of that to his experience at CCCC. Another standout quality is their flexibility. Our schedule is mostly part-time, but when we've needed full-time care for certain months, they've been incredibly accommodating. That kind of flexibility is hard to find at larger daycare centers.

    Country club child care has a warm, home-like atmosphere where kids feel safe and cared for…read more I especially appreciate how clean and organized everything is, and how much attention is given to each child. It doesn't feel like a big, overwhelming daycare -- it feels more personal, which is so important for little ones. They also do creative activities like arts and play-based learning, which helps kids develop and stay engaged. If you're looking for a smaller, nurturing environment for your child, this is definitely a great option.

    I read the information on the Stepping Stones website, and it looks incredibly encouraging! I'm…read morehoping by the time my youngest son is ready to exit 8th grade, his current Charter School will have a high school option, but if not, it is great to know places like this exist in the local community. They also collaborate with a large number of nationally accredited charter schools across the state. The varied options I mentioned earlier include homeschooling, independent study, and blended learning opportunities - I am so happy to see schools joining this model of education...it's really proving to be the best way to educate children for successful futures instead of churning them out like a grim scene from The Wall... In their own words: "Our focus is personalized education for each student. The best way to change tomorrow is to invest in our children today... One Step at a Time." Yes. More of this, please!!! One thing that particularly stands out is that they are community-centered learning institutions. This has a twofold effect - they promote success in academics by nurturing a connection with the community (usually through volunteerism or other efforts), and they also partner their students with successful to make sure they achieve the steps necessary to succeed from the time they start Kindergarten until the time they choose a career. That's smart educating! Through their network of partner schools, they can tailor a student's education to help keep them engaged, participating, and give them the tools they're going to need for future success in college, university, or trade/vocational school programs (again, education works different for everyone, and it looks like these people understand that!!!) Their website uses the word "investment" regarding their students, and I can't day how much I love that...I wish more schools treated education like an investment in our children and the future of not only the individual, but the community and society as a whole. They teach children to be self-paced and directed; and also foster a sense of independent thinking and those who can not only use critical thinking to solve problems, but also communicate in whichever way is best suited to their own personality and style. Since I know many people who communicate through electronic devices, I like to hear the emphasis placed on communication and not "speaking." There is a big difference. These folks seem like they "get it!" Their main goal appears to be simple: to help students of all ages and stages to "learn how to learn." I love that phrase! They know that many students don't have a place in our rather drab and outdated school model, with endless tests and redundant, utterly uninteresting and non-dynamic curriculum. In addition to general school/high school academics, these students also apparently get to discover their own potential career path; and this could include technical courses, visual/performing arts, apprenticeships (similar programs currently exist in some European countries) and service learning projects - I've done Service Learning Projects in my own college; and they're enhancements to the curriculum you're already learning, it's really great foundation building work! This was one of the things that stuck out at me while I was reading about their program... apparently, Stepping Stones also offers two years of college at no cost for those who qualify. This could just be help filing out the FASFA FOR Federal Student Aid (which not everyone will qualify for, depending on how much their parents make), but could potentially also include help finding grants, scholarships, and alternative ways to fund tertiary education beyond high school. :) My son's current charter school has been a godsend, but now that we've been able to dodge the proverbial "bullet" that was a nightmarish middle school experience (it only lasted a month, thankfully!), and he's now fully included in his school. There are no segregated classes for special education, but he receives as much support as he needs (including a dedicated aide that the school hand picked for him and hired after he enrolled), so I cannot sing the praises of charter schools enough. His behavior is better, self-confidence has skyrocketed, and he is now taking initiative to work both on classwork and chores at home! But he's in 6th Grade now, and the school he's at currently only goes to 8th. I'm hoping they'll add an option for high school in the next few years, but if not...I am very pleased to know there are alternatives that match our current setup available within close proximity. I have friends that need this type of opportunity for their own children, so I'm passing this on to them too. If only I'd known what was out there when my 21 year old was being pushed through the school system..."No Child Left Behind" just means they're going to end up with many adults that are left without...because they never caught up...

She is truly the most caring, patient, and loving teacher we've ever met. From day one, I knew my kids were in good hands with her. The new school itself is absolutely wonderful: always clean, bright, and thoughtfully set up to make kids feel happy, safe, and excited to learn. Every corner is designed with children in mind, and it shows. One of the best signs for me as a parent? My kids don't want to leave when I come to pick them up! They're having so much fun with their friends and with Ms. Michelle that they always ask for "just five more minutes." That tells me everything I need to know. We are so grateful to have found such a beautiful place and an incredible teacher like Ms. Michelle . Thank you for making school such a joyful part of my kids' lives!

We love hearing her come home singing songs, speaking Spanish words, and using phrases like "we take care of our environment" that she has learned from her time at Sprouts! It gives me so much peace as a parent to see her run to Ms. Khylee each morning for a hello hug, and to be kept posted with pictures and video of our kiddo throughout the day! It is very clear that Ms. Lianne has a passion for shepherding young hearts and creating a safe space for them to flourish! The teachers know the kids, care about them, and they are great at coming alongside families when challenges arise or milestones are to be celebrated. The classroom is clean, the kids are learning academically and socially, and the community of fellow parents is awesome! We are so thankful to have found Sprouts Montessori for our little ones!

    I truly cannot say enough good things about The Way Preschool…read more Our daughter started there when she was almost four years old, and looking back at the past year, I am amazed by how much she has grown. As a bilingual child, we have seen a huge improvement in her English, but even more importantly, we have watched her become more confident, independent, and comfortable expressing herself. One of the things we love most about the school is the amount of outdoor and unstructured play. It is so refreshing to see children encouraged to be children. Watching them play in the mud kitchen, collect rocks, search for worms and frogs, and explore nature has been wonderful. The teachers don't take over their play--they observe, listen, and step in only when needed. Because of this, our daughter has learned how to communicate with her friends, work through small disagreements, create her own games, and build confidence in her own ideas. The teachers are incredible. Communication has always been easy, and I am constantly impressed by how well they know each child. It feels like they truly see and understand who your child is, even in a short amount of time. The learning experiences are thoughtful and engaging. This year, the children watched chicks hatch and followed their journey in the classroom, which was absolutely fascinating. Our daughter would come home excited to tell us about what she had learned. I also have to mention the events and celebrations. The amount of care and attention that goes into creating meaningful memories for the children and families is something really special. Whether it was Mother's Day, Father's Day, or the Christmas musical, every event felt heartfelt and memorable. Seeing our little girl on stage during the Christmas performance is a memory I will cherish forever. The parent-teacher conferences are also incredibly thoughtful and well organized. We always left feeling informed, supported, and reassured. The teachers take the time to discuss your child's progress in detail and answer every question with care and honesty. Most importantly, throughout our time at The Way Preschool, we always felt that our daughter was loved, safe, and genuinely cared for. As a parent, there is nothing more important than that. We are so grateful for the memories, friendships, and experiences our family has had here. Thank you to everyone at The Way Preschool for making our daughter's preschool journey so special.

This is the right school for your preschool/TK child. My 5yo is ready for Kindergarten next year, and although sad she wont be going back to The Way, she is excited for the next school year, because The Way Preschool was so amazing! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a school that is faith forward.
