Schools near Jamul, CA

“I can sing their praises all day! We had my daughter enrolled in this preschool for about 2 years. We started the winter right before the pandemic and gladly came back until she graduated and headed into kindergarten. And let me tell you they prepared her for kindergarten. My daughter had to take an assessment for her entry to the school and she passed flying colors thanks to the efforts of her teachers.All the teachers were incredibly nurturing and provided so much care to the children. I also love the location of the preschool itself. It’s in the back and far enough away from the road that I felt like no random was going to walk up to the fence. And the play ground and the trees made me nostalgic of when I was a child. Call me crazy but I loved telling my daughter to dump the sand out of her shoes before going into the house, it just meant she played hard.We love this school and I recommend if you’re on the fence go check it out and enroll your child.”

“We're so happy to have found Die Rasselbande! Our daughter started here when she was 2 years old and attended for 4 years - she is now at Albert Einstein Academy. Our son is currently in his 3rd year and loves school. I can't say enough about what a nurturing environment the director, Martina, and the teachers create. The director and all the teachers are native German speakers and it is an immersion school, but they also are fluent in English and it's easy for parents and non-German-speaking kids first starting out to communicate with them. German is my second language and I've been trying to teach our kids the language at home so I'm grateful that they can hear native speakers, and bonus, I also get to practice my German in this new community. The teachers constantly amaze us with their endless energy, enthusiasm, and how much they cared about their students. The teaching philosophy at the school is play-based, as is common in Germany/Europe and becoming popular here. Our son is the happiest when he comes home with grass stains or Matsch from playing all day in the mud kitchen. The teachers really treat all children with respect and interact with them at their developmental stage. We receive weekly emails with updates on what they're teaching the kids, what songs they are learning, and pictures. Parent involvement is welcomed, and this school truly creates a community, from playdates, carpooling, last-minute child care, camping, and continued friendships at Albert Einstein Academy. Our daughter often says she misses Die Rasselbande and the nice thing is that alumni are always invited to school events and kept in the loop. Martina runs an efficient school and facilitates Parent Teas after drop-off, Parent Nights to get to know the school, and educational evening sessions for parents. She is often seen in the classrooms helping out and getting to know all the students. Some of the things that I love the most are the fun cultural events like St. Martin's Day/Lantern Walk, Halloween/Trunk or Treat, St Nikolaus Day, Karneval, and Mayfest. Die Rasselbande is everything we could have hoped for from an engaging and educational preschool!”

“My daughter had the BEST 4 year old teacher! Ms. Zahra really cares about the children's learning and overall development. She was always warm, happily engaged with the children, and took every opportunity to teach them real life skills. Ms. Zahra is very approachable, easy to talk to, and partners with you as a parent to support your child. I have the utmost respect for her. My daughter knows how to write her name, count, recognizes letters, and even knows how to read. She is ready to enter Kindergarten. Ms Zahra is AMAZING! She truly cares for the children and it shows everyday as she provides quality care and education.”

“I'm leaving a new review. About 6 months ago I switched daycares. Nothing bad happened but I was having difficulty paying for kids Depot and we found a daycare more affordable. But, my son was not getting the educational development I felt he needed. His speech was struggling and he wasn't on a structured schedule. My husband and I decided that we were going to find a way to pay for it because we felt the program at kids depot was so great and structured- everything he needs. So we made the switch back. He's been back only 3 weeks and already we have seen a huge change in his development. He said Apple today and is waving! We know we made the right choice and wish we never had left. Know that your child is going to learn here! And be well taken care of! I cannot say enough about this place. I'll post the video of his word!”

“We’ve been attending Learning Jungle for over 2 years and we absolutely love it. All the teachers here are so wonderful and caring. We are so lucky to be a part of such a lovely and enriching school.”

“Cannot recommend GSCA at Spring Valley enough!! My son has been going here for almost a year now and it has been the best experience for him. My daughter will be starting here soon and she is super excited. Everyone here is very welcoming and they truly care about your kids. They helped potty train my son and I love the schedule they have for them. Communication between teachers and parents are really good. My son had a little tough time adjusting in the beginning (would cry at drop off), but he now looks forward to coming here every morning. Thank you GSCA Spring Valley team for all your hard work and dedication. Prospective parents - definitely keep this place in mind if you're looking for a place for your child! You won't regret it!”

“We have been so happy with FUMP! The staff is all so friendly and kind. The office staff are very responsive and attentive. Our daughter loves coming to school every day and we know she is safe and well cared for at FUMP.”

“We looked at 3 spots in the area for our daughter to attend daycare. We found that ABC Barn was the best place for our daughter to get educated. The staff is real friendly, teachers engage with the parents about activities, they serve coffee to the parents, and really do care about the kids. We had a great feeling when we first stepped inside school. I highly recommend them and it was the least expensive of the other schools we looked at. Must make a visit at least if you are thinking of dropping your kids off.”

“Both my boys attend this school. The staff are so kind and welcoming. I've loved every teacher they have had so far. They have chapel every week and my kids sing the songs they learn, so precious! I would highly recommend this school”

“I am a USArmy soldier that arrived California 2 years ago. I have a kid with autism and most of the daycares stated that they could not provide care to my child because he was making to other kids scared. Jamacha Rd. Kindercare was the only one that took the challenge and prove the other center wrong. Ms. Bertha started with Carter (my son) which other than having autism was non verbal. Couple months pass and my kid was able to start communicating with us like pointing and mumbling words. With assistance of speech therapy my kid now is able to communicate. If it wasnt by that first innitiative that the center placed it could have been a different scenario today. I had 4 children assisting the daycare with the age of months, 2, 5 and 7. This center provided basic education for the kids and love for the most part. They were always excited to go to daycare and it was shown by the appreciation they had for the teacher and staff. The only reason we move was because of military orders. My kids miss the teachers and the staff and so my wife and my self. This center provide high level of care for the kids and it’s highly recommended to military folks and civilians! Our family is in deep appreciation with you guys!”

“Just want to say thank you to everyone here at COLA. From Ms. Barbara, Ms. Iliana, Ms. Raquel, and Ms. Isis, (and everyone else) you all made us feel like family and kept our baby girl safe and happy. She loved her time there and we're greatful to of had the chance for her to learn and look up to such a strong group of women. Looking forward to bringing our youngest here as well. Take care.”

“My family loves this location! We are going on two years and couldn’t be happier! The director, Amber, is always working hard & there anytime we have any questions. She is new at the position but she is doing amazing! The teachers are all the sweetest. They treat our children like their own. My son has Miss Liz & Miss Janet and he adores them. They are both so attentive & update us through the app throughout the day.”

“It's so hard to come to peace with leaving your children with what begins as a stranger, but sometimes you get that feeling that the energy is good and someone can be trusted with your most precious asset, your child. Baby Boop Daycare, led by Lupita, is a truly exceptional haven for your little ones. Lupita's genuine love and care create a nurturing environment where each child is made to feel special. Her dedication extends to celebrating birthdays and even Christmas, ensuring every child has a cherished experience. My son has now moved onto kindergarten but he still asks me if he can go visit "pita". She made an impact on him, and he remembers that. I highly recommend Baby Boop to any parent seeking a loving home for their child.”

“I cant speak for the upper school, but I can speak for the preschool. It's amazing. Every teacher is loving and caring for their class and their families and they do the best they do to accommodate. I know this because I was able to see the inside of things. These teachers pray for their students, they take the time to make sure things are prepared for their students. And the director and assistant director or wonderful. This is a wonderful, safe and healthy environment for any preschool family from any form of background. One thing I loved about this school when I first started working there was even if you don't believe or aren't a Christian, this school will still accept you. And that to me, shows their true hearts.”

“I put daughter into Kinder Academy not knowing if it would be the best decision for her and it was !! Not only did she love to learn, she would sing so much on the car ride home, she'd dance and tell me everything she learned. The entire staff is so kind hearted and great, Ms. Teresa is just as great. I highly recommend this place, it's the best thing I ever did for my daughter.”

“What a wonderful little preschool! Family owned and the love and care for the kiddos is so wonderful. Whenever I get the opportunity to visit I see lots of smiles and laughing from the littles!”

“We are SO happy we picked EastLake Kindercare for our 22 month old son, Aydin! The first week was really hard on us and him but the staff and teachers made sure to pay extra close attention to him to help him adjust. I would randomly drop by and every time there was a teacher holding his hand or comforting him if he was crying his first week. By the second week, he was excited to go to school. We would drop him off and he would say "Bye Mama" before running off to play outside. We get daily cute photos and videos of him dancing or reading. He is also starting to talk more! The teachers go the extra mile to let me know what he eats and help him with feeds. I feel comforted knowing my son is in good hands and cared for at EastLake Kindercare. This center is NAEYC Certified which is hard to get and maintain so I know he is going to learn a lot.”

“These 5 stars are for Ms. Kathy & Ms. Rafah in the Owl classroom. I couldn't have trusted anyone else to love, care for, and teach my daughter. She attended for a year and is all ready for Kindergarten. She can spell her name and knows her numbers 1-40. As well as many other things. These teachers were a joy to see everyday. Their job is not easy but they make their best effort. I am happy with the care that was provided and they will be missed!”

“I have just enrolled my son here. It has just been a few days but so far he loves it! It gives me peace of mind all the daily updates and pictures about his day. Staff are great too!”

“All three of my grandchildren have attended this school for childcare, preschool, and Pre-K. They are a wonderful facility that nurtures your child. My grandchildren are all graduated from high school now and I believe starting out at Dayspring helped to give them a wonderful start to education. Hi Miss Kelly!”

“My child started care with La petite before 1years old. I really like the infant area with 1 teacher to 3kids ratio. The 2 years old class needs improvement because the ratio there is 1 to 12. I personally think that’s a lot for anyone. I know admin did put a third teacher there during the day to help but some days, the ratio is 1 teacher with 12 kids. All the staff there currently are great and I love how everyone knows all the kids. They took a great care of my child. I also really like the video function. I used to check a lot when my son first started care but now, I know most staff there and seeing my kid happy when I pick him up. I’m more relaxed about it.”

“It has been such an amazing experience. My nephew comes home talking about what he has learned everyday. I wish I would have started him earlier. The teachers are awesome. They are so caring. Thank for being his first experience for school.”

“My son Perry has been attending G&S for over two and half years.When we toured the school we were immediately delighted by the cleanliness, the upbeat attitude of the employees and the tight protocol of the facilities. We visited four other preschools and they definitely stood out as the right choice for us.The school is amazing! They made potty training super easy. I really felt I only supported their efforts. I really appreciated this, especially being a first time mom. I otherwise didn’t know how to navigate this.I also appreciate the healthy eating Food program the school participants in. Not having to supply our own breakfast, lunch and snacks is one less thing I have to worry about and is awesome.Their curriculum is exceptional. I am always excited to see the pile of art projects my son proudly brings home. They cover letters, numbers, shapes and Spanish! It feels good knowing my son will begin school ahead.I am so happy we chose Giggles & Smiles. It was the right choice for my son. I am grateful for the time we’ve had there and for the positive introduction to school. You guys are amazing!!”

“I was there for business the company I work for is a flooring company Geary floors and we redo the boys and girls club floor and numerous high schools and colleges and everything throughout Southern California so and Northern California so that's why I was there but the place is really well kept”

“Love love love this place! I am so glad we were able to get in (especially since I forgot about putting the little one on the waitlist).

They care so much! No screens at all and lots of outdoor play. The little ones are in their own development pods but they do interact with each other here and there.

Very communicative and they send lots of pictures to you.”
