I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this daycare. My baby started here at just 5 months…read moreold, and as a first-time mom, taking him to daycare was honestly one of the hardest things for me. I had so much fear and anxiety about leaving my baby with someone else, but Pansy was absolutely wonderful. She was so patient, understanding, and reassuring, and she really helped give me the comfort I needed to make that transition. Now, seeing how much my baby LOVES being there makes my heart so happy. I can genuinely see the love that Pansy, Arjun, and all of the teachers pour into my baby and the other children. It's not just a place where I feel like I'm dropping him off to be watched, I truly feel like I'm leaving him with people who love and care for him. A special shoutout to his amazing teachers because they are truly the sweetest. They are so caring, loving, and attentive with him, and that means everything to me. My baby is always coming home doing something new, and I'm constantly amazed by how much he is learning and developing while he's there. There is no better feeling as a parent than knowing your baby is safe, happy, learning, and most importantly, loved while you're away. I'm so incredibly grateful that we found this daycare. From the owners, Pansy and Arjun, to all of the wonderful teachers, thank you for loving and caring for my baby the way that you do. You made something that was initially so scary for me become something I now feel completely at peace with. We are so grateful to be a part of this daycare family.

P.S they take the best pictures here is a few of her while she was at daycare.

It's such a sweet family feel that we love. The curriculum is great, my kids are always coming home telling me what they learned about that day and excited to show me their art. The teachers are so warm and friendly, my kids love them and my son's teacher Miss Ana connects with me often about his day and any concerns that we're partnering together on (because 3 year olds are tough ). I really appreciate that she cares and takes the time to connect with me on things she's noticing and how we can best support him. They also do fun things like pot lucks and even this morning my son woke up and excitedly told me it was potluck day. Can't recommend this school enough!

My Room to Grow - A Truly Wonderful School…read more We absolutely love My Room to Grow! Our son, Tristan, started in the Peach Room and is now in TK, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, the warmth, dedication, and experience of the teachers have been evident. Not only in how they care for the children, but in how long many of them have been with the school. That kind of consistency speaks volumes about the culture My Room to Grow has built. The teachers here are incredible. Every single one we have met has gone above and beyond to help Tristan learn, grow, and thrive. Carina and Kathy, in particular, have shown such patience, care, and creativity in supporting his development. And Principal Meghan is so thoughtful and engaged, she genuinely knows and cares about every child and family. We have seen tremendous progress in Tristan in just a year and a half, and we are so grateful for the loving environment that has helped him flourish. In fact, we chose to keep him here another year, even though he qualified for Universal TK through Poway Unified, because we simply couldn't imagine a better place for him to continue learning and growing. Our only regret is not finding My Room to Grow sooner! It's such a comfort to know that while I am at work, Tristan is in the hands of people who truly care for him and want the best for him. We feel so lucky to be part of this wonderful community. -- Update: I also wanted to share that my son is diagnosed with ADHD and is on the autism spectrum (verbal and high-functioning). While My Room to Grow isn't a special needs school, they truly go above and beyond to see if they can make accommodations to support each child's individual needs. What was especially helpful when we were considering enrolling Tristan was that they allowed him to visit the school ahead of time to make sure the environment and teachers were the right fit. The staff genuinely care and are willing to collaborate with our Behavioral and Developmental OT therapists to ensure strategies are reinforced consistently at school. I can't express enough gratitude for the compassion, patience, and dedication of every teacher at My Room to Grow. They have made such a difference in Tristan's growth and confidence.

(Coronavirus hit and we left and then soon my daughter will go to Kindergarten.) For those 5 months we had a wonderful experience all around. From Christine and Christina managing the front, to the lovely teachers, it was a fantastic experience overall. My daughter learned so much and loved going to school. I personally watched a couple science sessions with Ms. Kay and they were so interesting and fun. And the writing with Ms. Sangeeta was so great! She was extremely patient and she spends time with each of the kiddos to practice writing. This school is a wonderful place for the kiddos and is a great prep for kindergarten. Even with a large gap because of the coronavirus, I am confident my daughter is ready for school next year!

We couldn't have asked for a better preschool for our daughter. She attended from the time she…read moreturned 2 until she started TK, and it became like a second home to her. Miss Gladys creates such a warm, loving, and well-organized environment. She has an amazing ability to guide children with patience and kindness--without ever needing to raise her voice. The children listen, eat their healthy home-cooked meals, and take their naps because they feel safe, respected, and cared for. The preschool is always clean, organized, and welcoming. Beyond the loving care, the children learn so much. My daughter developed independence, learned her letters and numbers, and built the confidence she needed to start school. Thanks to Miss Gladys, I truly feel my daughter is more than ready for TK. The best proof of how much she loves this place is that every day at pickup she never wants to leave. She always has to give Miss Gladys a hug--sometimes even coming back for one more before we finally head home. We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and dedication Miss Gladys has shown our daughter over the years. We will always remember these special years and highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching place for their child.

Extremely disappointed. If you are a parent looking for reliable care for your children, who…read morecommunicates with you and who understands the stress that comes with searching for child care, then I DO NOT recommend this place. They will take your money to add you to an imaginary waitlist, which they will then "pause" without notice and without a refund of your deposit. I paid the waitlist fee of $150 on April 6, 2022 with a projected opening spot of December 2022 for my infant. I inquired numerous times regarding my place on the waitlist, only to be given vague responses such as: 1. "We are still working our way through the waitlist" 2. "We have paused all Poway enrollment at this time, we are hoping to enroll new children very shortly into our center. I will be in touch with you soon once we start to move down the waitlist", and 3. "Once we come across your name on the waitlist and a spot becomes available I will be in touch with you immediately." It's the end of January 2023 and I have yet to hear from them. My family and I waited and waited to hear from them, and were not able asses our childcare options properly due to their lack of communication. At this point, I don't believe there is even a waitlist anymore, and i just lost $150 at no fault of our own. If I had removed myself from the waitlist I would understand not getting a refund, but that is not the case. I'm still here waiting for them to "come across my name." I would not recommend taking the chance. Good luck, parents!

Our son was in the infant room and we had NO issues and knew our son was in great care. Even with COVID on the rise, I feel safer than ever sending my son back here. The staff has implemented a lot of protocol to ensure the kids are safe and my son has been so happy playing his his friends again. They have been extremely communicative and adaptable during these times and I know any child walking through that door will be in great hands. Definitely don't think twice about enrolling your child here.

From day one, she helped her transition from a difficult experience at her previous school to a place where she could truly feel at home--comfortable, confident, and excited to come back each day. Brookie often tells us how much fun she has at school, and we've seen incredible growth in her speech, confidence, reading, and writing. One of our favorite moments is listening to her read us bedtime stories--something we never imagined she would enjoy so much at 4! Most of all, we deeply appreciate the exceptional care Ms. June has given. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for her students have made a lasting difference in our daughter's life. It was bittersweet when our daughter transitioned to Kindergarten, but we're so glad that Ms June had given her the tools she needed. She was very well prepared for Kinder. Our son is now enrolled with Ms June and we couldn't be happier. Thank you for all that you do!

I really like the way Miss June takes the time to be involved with each of the children. She gives it that personal touch and I can see how much our little one looks up to her.
