Schools in Carlsbad, CA

“This is a wonderful place to bring your children. The staff is top notch, the facilities are well maintained and they have fantastic parental engagement.

We have been attending here for almost 2 years and are so pleased, and our child has grown by leaps and bounds. Teachers have been great every step of the way as well. Mrs Shalini and Mr Fernando run an excellent school and I couldnt be more pleased with her ownership and his management. Truly a great and safe space for your littles.”

“We absolutely love Poinsettia Kindercare! It was really hard to leave (we had a job move that changed our commute and we had to switch daycares). We sent our baby there from 7/8 months until 2 years old. The staff is SO loving, and I just feel so grateful for that. It can be scary sending your baby or toddler to new care, and I felt so relieved seeing how much the teachers genuinely care about the kids. I felt like my kiddo was genuinely loved. I will also forever be impressed with the activities they come up with for the kids! Every day there is something new and they devise really great weekly curriculum (yes curriculum, even for babies and toddlers--My son learned so much here and was so confident and happy here) with a lot of hands-on sensory play, outside time, crafts, just a lot freaking cool things that I felt like my kid was able to do outside of what I do with him (and frankly, cooler stuff that I would never have thought of). A LOT of time and thoughtfulness goes into these activities and the organization of them. Shout out to teachers we still miss and who I'll forever be grateful to: Ms. Yesenia, Ms. Tomoko, Ms. Leti, Ms. Vanessa, Ms. Annie, and the wonderful guidance of Director Melissa and Asst. Director Corrie, who I think set the tone for the whole school. They even create a whole summer program for the kids with hot weather activities and new things to do (this felt really special since my kid was in care full time throughout the year, I love that the school made it feel like summer was different from the rest of the year and something to look forward to) with summer t shirts and water bottles. Each week was a new theme, and they work really hard to bring in learning opportunities and outside entertainment for the kids--for example, they had an animal handler bring in animals for the kids to learn about and even pet some of them. The school even put on seasonal events for the kids on campus to attend with their families, which was SO cool--I was so impressed w/ the festivals they create with games, food, and activities, and all are welcome. One time we brought my 4 year old (who went to a different school) w us to the festival and they were so welcoming to her too, which I thought was great. One thing I'll never forget being amazed by is how ALL the staff (even teachers who did not have my kiddo in their class) knew my kid by name and had something nice to say whenever they saw him and as we walked the halls, and what really blew me away was that they also knew my daughters' name (she doesn't even go there!) and always said hi to her too. Just the most welcoming, organized, professional, loving staff and school. Thank you for our time here, I am forever grateful.”

“Can't say enough good things about Aspirations! We have three kids, one has graduated from kinder and our other two kids still attend.From our time in the baby room, to basically having kids in every room, and almost every teacher, we have loved our time here.I've been a room parent, mystery reader, volunteered at their annual gala and attended their amazing kids art shows. The school and the teachers go above and beyond in everything they do.If your looking to find a caring, safe, creative and loving environment, this is your school.”

“Best school ever! Thank you so much for taking care of little Jake and Sammy these past few years. My kiddos have learned so much and are all set for kindergarten. The cool thing is when we went to their new school and took the assessment the teacher asked which preschool they have been attending, when I said Big Future the teacher commented "I can tell" and ended the assessment knowing it is to basic for my kiddos. Even the teachers know about you!”

“Absolutely loved this school and are really sad to leave (moving out of state). The principle Vanessa and assistant principal Michelle are absolutely amazing and run the school so well, with care and attention. All the teachers are amazing and we had exceptional experiences with the infant and toddler teachers. My son loved his teachers and friends and matured so much in his time there. We’ve been to numerous schools over the past 7 years for my kids and Discovery Isles is definitely top of the exceptional list. Thank you to the wonderful staff for taking such good care of my child and for being genuinely good human beings!”
