We were so happy when a spot opened up for him. Ms. Minnie is so communicative and wonderful at providing little ones with a place where they are safe and can learn and explore, often outdoors, which is how it should be in San Diego. Ms. Lupe, who has been there for years, is amazing too. Homemade food, great garden and play space, nice assortment of toys, coloring items, etc. inside... If you can get a spot here, don't think twice!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a cocktail party at TERI's Campus of Life in San Marcos, and…read morewe couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. Our Event Coordinator, Katey, was exceptional. She is a true event professional who provided outstanding guidance and support from start to finish. She took the time to ensure we had everything we needed to create the perfect event, making the entire planning process seamless and enjoyable. The food was outstanding. The variety of menu options was impressive, and every item was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The hot dishes were served hot, the cold dishes were perfectly chilled, and the contemporary presentation elevated the entire experience. Chef Karla, Chef Dan, and their culinary team did an amazing job. Our event was held in the Sunrise Suite, which is the perfect setting for a cocktail party--especially at sunset. Although we brought a few decorative touches of our own, the space is truly event-ready, with stunning panoramic views and a beautiful outdoor deck that our guests thoroughly enjoyed. Our bartender, Damon, was warm, personable, and incredibly hospitable. Our server, Bunny, was friendly, attentive, and efficient. He anticipated our needs throughout the evening, and we never had to ask for a thing. Every detail was handled flawlessly. It was truly a privilege to host such a successful event while supporting an incredible nonprofit organization that serves our community with such compassion and dedication. We wholeheartedly recommend TERI's catering and event services. They are simply impeccable!

Before we started seeing Cindy, they were barely talking. In the last seven months, they have gone from saying a few words to talking constantly and showing true engagement with the world around them! In addition, she has helped them develop new gross and fine motor skills, an understanding of imaginary play, and new social and cognitive skills. Our boys absolutely love their time with Miss Cindy! She always makes sure they are comfortable when introducing new activities and skills so they can approach it with a sense of confidence that allows them to be successful. She is a wonderful resource for information related to delays, behavioral modification, and normal parenting issues. We are going to miss her so much when we start preschool this fall! I can't recommend Cindy enough- she is truly amazing!!

The entire experience has been nothing short of fantastic since the first day I ever waved goodbye to my toddler, leaving him in the care and educational guidance of amazing teachers, interns, and classroom helpers/volunteers! On entering and exiting the adorable CDC of MCC you are always welcomed with warm greetings and sent home with generous well-wishes by the woman behind the front-desk, Mark or Linda! (directors of the center) This school, located on the MiraCosta college campus, is a laboratory school meaning that students of the college studying Child Development are allowed to learn from children at play via observation booths or hands-on activities within the various classrooms in the center. Parents, of course, sign a waiver consenting to allowing their child to be observed. I think this aspect of the school is wonderful! It's like educational mutualism: everybody benefits! It's also great because as a parent or relative, you can visit your child's respective classroom observation booth and watch your kiddo in their natural element without them even knowing you're there! Each classroom is comprised of children within the same age range and the ratio between child and teacher is adequate and comforting! Children engage in many different kinds of play and learning every day of the week, in fact, teachers often plan their days based on what they have seen their students finding the most interest in! While the classrooms have routines that they try to follow to create that sense of a schedule for the children, it is never 100% cookie-cutter final: the children too can help drive the direction in which the activities go! The actual classrooms themselves are spacious and feel organic! (I LOVE the use of natural light to brighten the learning space and the fact that the classrooms are not equipped with those cheap, plastic climb on toys you might find at any other preschool-like setting!) Instead the classes are furnished with wooden structures for climbing on, cozy reading areas, play-pretend nooks, various child-sized round tables for a variety of different activities, spots made with specific themes in mind: science, math, writing, nature, ect, a place for group-time/gathering, and a lovely outdoor place space! Don't forget the tiny toilets! I have enjoyed my son going here as much as I believe that he too really enjoys being enrolled at this great preschool! The tuition is quite reasonable! The center offers rates dependent on whether a parent is a MIraCosta student or simply a member of the general population. The lines of communication are always open between families and the staff of the CDC, whether you'd like to speak in person, over the phone, or through email! I love when the center has events that bring children, their families, and the center's staff together. We really make a unique community!

IEP With Help was a great resource in understanding and navigating the IEP process. They were friendly and answered all of our questions, no matter how basic. They joined our IEP meeting with the school and district to help us get what our son needed. Thank you all, from two previously exhausted parents and their grateful son.

I don't even know where to begin. Finding IEP With Help -- operated by Diego and Madelyn Sologuren…read moreand Amber Cooper -- was the best decision I've ever made for my twin sons. I reached out desperately needing an advocate after years of frustration, confusion, and getting nowhere with the school district. After just one consultation, they joined me at my sons' IEP meeting the following week, and I was in absolute shock at how much they were able to accomplish after just one meeting. What started with one IEP quickly turned into a series of strategic, intentional meetings, each one bringing us closer to accountability and real solutions. It wasn't overnight, but their consistency and pressure made all the difference. They asked all the right questions, the kind that only an experienced advocate would know to ask. They challenged the district in a way I never could as a parent alone, and they did it respectfully, knowledgeably, and with total confidence in my boys' rights. Watching them work was like watching people who not only knew the law inside and out, but who genuinely cared about my kids as if they were their own. From the very beginning, they walked me through everything step by step. They took the time to explain my sons' IEPs in detail, something no school team has ever done. I finally felt heard, empowered, and most importantly, supported. They made sure my boys got exactly what they were promised under FAPE, and when the district fell short, they didn't back down. Because of them, my sons now have a plan in place that will completely shift the course of their academic progress and self regulation, a direct result of the team's relentless advocacy and dedication. Madelyn spent hours behind the scenes using her investigation skills and due diligence to uncover the district's missteps, while Amber was like a legal encyclopedia, firing back with exact amendments and language without missing a beat. Diego especially... he should seriously become a lawyer. The way he advocated for my family felt like I had my own brother in the room fighting for us. That level of passion, knowledge, and care is rare and it's exactly what every parent of a child with special needs deserves. From now until my boys graduate high school, IEP With Help will be at every IEP meeting. That's a promise I've made to myself and to my kids. I am forever grateful to this team, my heart is full. If you're a parent who's struggling to navigate this system, please don't wait. Call them. They are the real deal.

Both of our boys are minimally verbal, so…read morefinding someone who understands how to build functional language and reading skills in a meaningful, structured way was extremely important to us. Diana has exceeded every expectation. She uses the UFLI program and we have seen real progress in both boys' reading skills. What stands out most is her ability to break things down in a way that is accessible and effective for learners who need explicit, systematic instruction. She meets them exactly where they are, while still holding high expectations for their growth and progress on their goals. Just as important, our boys absolutely love working with her. Diana brings such a warm, cheerful energy to every session, and her positive, encouraging style keeps them engaged and motivated. Her sessions are structured and purposeful, but also fun, which is not easy to balance, but she does it seamlessly. , We are so grateful to have found her.

I went in search for an at home tutor and it was so hard finding someone with experience with his age group but also experience being a real teacher, and on top of that someone reliable. Diana is AMAZING, and worth every penny. Every week she comes with a new/different activity sometimes she has him dancing to songs about letters or shapes another time they are doing word puzzles. My 3 year old is literally on the road to reading because of her. Very happy she is apart of my kids development, because with her he is learning so much!
