It worked out so well the kids never left the sitter, and preferred to play with the other kids, and do crafts with Linda in the Villa for the evening.

I can't say enough great things about the Taylor St ELCA. We have had our two daughters go through…read moreELCA and most importantly I have always felt they are safe and loved there.

I have a son and a daughter who both attended ELCA. The staff are friendly and caring. Plus, they…read moreprovide tons of fun activities for the kids. Our 3.5 year old attended his first foam party and met with special animals as part of a cool summer meet and greet. He couldn't stop talking about it! The facility is secure, clean, and tidy and most importantly, the kids are happy. The hours are good, too (open from 7:30-6pm). We highly recommend ELCA to prospective families. On a side note, our former preschool closed unexpectedly. I was 40 weeks pregnant and ELCA was able to quickly accommodate us and watch after our son. I'll never forget how thankful I was during that stressful time. Thank you!

My son just finished here and is headed off to TK but it is so bittersweet to leave Ridgecity. He…read morehas been attending this daycare since he was 1 and these 3.5 years just flew by! As a full time working mom (and dad too), it is hard to find a place you trust to watch and guide your kid at such a young age. All the teachers here were absolutely wonderful and they showed him how to be creative, social, how to have fun, and nurtured him in his developmental milestones. I couldn't have asked for a better daycare/preschool. When others ask me, I always say I attribute a lot of his positive behaviors to the lessons he learned at daycare. I highly recommend Ridgecity

We entrusted our daughter to Michele and Denise's home daycare from 7 months to 2.5 years old, and…read morewe couldn't have been happier. They provided loving, attentive care in a warm, family-like environment that made her feel safe and cherished every day. Michele and Denise played a big role in her early education through fun, age-appropriate activities that supported her learning and development. They also served healthy, homemade meals daily and always shared detailed summaries at pickup so we stayed fully informed about her day. We are so grateful for the excellent care they gave our daughter. They are wonderful caregivers, and we highly recommend them to any family looking for quality home daycare!

I had a very disappointing experience with Michele's Family Daycare. I had a tour scheduled and…read morecalled ahead as a courtesy because my son is currently sick and couldn't attend with me. Rather than being understanding or flexible, I was told they would not conduct the tour unless my child was present. I completely understand the need to meet a child before enrollment. However, a basic tour to review policies, care approach, and pricing should absolutely be something a parent can attend on their own, with a follow-up visit to meet the child. That would have been a reasonable and professional solution. Unfortunately, Denise's tone on the phone was dismissive and rude. Instead of offering to reschedule or work with me, I was essentially told to figure it out myself. It felt like my effort to be responsible by not bringing a sick child into their environment was not respected at all. This interaction left me feeling extremely upset (in tears) and unheard. First impressions matter, especially when it comes to trusting someone with your child. Based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable moving forward with this daycare.

We love The Vine. My son started in full time daycare when he was almost 1 and now he's 2.5. During…read morethis time I completed my degree at USD and they helped a lot with my ability to do that. The teachers are really attentive and sweet with him. I feel like they really know him. I love their updates on Brightwheel. They take MCCYN which helps to lower the cost.

Cica is a gem! If you have the privilege of sending your child here, have no doubt that your baby…read morewill be in incredible hands. Cica was a gift to our family as first-time parents with no family in San Diego. Our son thrived in her care. She made and offered wonderful homemade meals and healthy snacks. She believes in play-based learning and Montessori style. She facilitates the most creative and amazing activities with the kids. She is clean and no one wears shoes in the house. She is such a positive person and bright light. She has remarkable esthetics. Not to mention, her family who support the daycare, are also such wonderful human beings. My family and I moved back East to be closer to family -- but we were incredibly sad (heartbroken!) to lose her as a caretaker. We love Cica so much. She is irreplaceable.

As a first-time parent, it can be a little daunting trying to find the right daycare for your child…read moreunless you can get a recommendation from someone who has had firsthand experience that you trust and respect.  So, when two families we know very well highly recommended Cica and Lil' Hearts Daycare after their 4 children loved going there, my wife and I didn't hesitate to call her up.  And after almost 2 years of having our son attend Lil' Hearts, we can say WITHOUT A DOUBT that every glowing compliment we ever heard about Cica and her daycare was exactly spot on.  I'm serious when I say this, Cica is like Mary Poppins, but instead of a British accent, she has a Brazilian one.  She has a way with kids you have to see to believe.  She is one of the most loving, sweet, reliable, and nurturing people we know.  As if that wasn't enough, her husband and two amazing children (both 11+ years old) are also there to lend a helping hand.   All the kids in Cica's care are so happy and know they are loved.  They also learn so much from all the different activities and crafts they do each day.  For those familiar with the Montessori schools, she is well versed in those programs and incorporates a lot of their methods of education.  Your child will also learn good manners, creativity with art and music, and how to help, share, and interact with other kids.  As for meals, she prepares everything daily from fresh fruit to chicken or spaghetti and includes snacks your kids will love.  And you'll know exactly what is going on because Cica emails a child summary every day from what they ate to their activities, potty counts, nap times, mood, anything else worth noting, PLUS PHOTOS!  She also goes over a lot of it during pickups and answers any questions you may have.  But you don't have to wait for pickups or drop offs, she's always a text or call away.  And if you're like me, you appreciate when someone is always prompt with a response and she's one of the best.  Lil' Hearts also celebrates every child's birthday and provides parents with Date Nights throughout the year.  Oh, and the graduation ceremony they hold when a child is ready to move on to preschool is such a memorable experience.  Forewarning, it can get a little emotional, especially for those parents with graduating kids.  Anyway, I can't say enough good things about Lil' Hearts Daycare.  We feel truly blessed and lucky to have Cica and her family caring for our little one each day and couldn't imagine him being anywhere else. So, with all that being said, if you ever get the opportunity to take your child to Lil' Hearts Daycare, don't hesitate because you AND your child will be very happy you did!

We did our tour with…read moreAnakaren in 2023 and she made us feel so comfortable and welcome, that we left there and didn't bother going anywhere else; and she's continued to do our entire time we've been there. We commute here from North County San Diego and despite the long drive, we know there is no better place for our kids to be when we are working. The staff are so communicative and all the teachers know the children's names even if they aren't part of their class. Our older son graduated this past summer and is thriving in TK both academically and socially. I think that has so much to do with what he's learned here. Our younger son has picked up on Spanish very quickly which is also something we are grateful for. They offer part time, full time, and extended days too and even support the littles with potty training. We truly appreciate everyone we've had the pleasure of working with.
