Schools in Oceanside, CA

“Oceanside First Presbyterian Church is the most warm and welcoming church that I have ever been to. They have an excellent Plan Your Visit program to make sure you are greeted (and seated with a member if you choose) and welcomed into the congregation. What I remember most from my first visit was the friendliness of the congregation, especially the member who sat next to me and guided me throughout the service. I also enjoyed the three-minute congregation greetings (every weekly service). I loved the positive sermon themes, the Praise Band, the Choir, even the way this church distributes communion by intinction. Pastor Mike is an exceptional Pastor encouraging the congregation every week to be more like Jesus. His sermons are inspiring and comforting. I encourage all of you to be part of his current sermon series "Journey through the Gospel of Mark: Are You Ready For Jesus."”

“We've been going to RMS for a year and I can't say enough great things about this place. I could rave about the size (small classes!) and space and curriculum but really the teachers are THE best part. Mrs. Challo, Ms. Daniela, Ms. Liz, Mrs. Wathsala...I could list even more because somehow all the teachers know all the kids and parents. They care so much about these kids and I couldn't believe all my daughter was being taught by Mrs. Challo and her team at only 12-24 months old. So much fun artwork, Spanish language, music, etc. We are so grateful to have a place we feel safe and excited to drop our kid off.”

“The Learning Experience is a wonderful place and is highly recommended! The facility is clean, the communication is great and, above all, an amazing team that is friendly, attentive and caring! I personally love the Show and Tell app that keeps me updated on how my little one is doing throughout the day. 5 stars all the way!”

“If you're visiting Oceanside, a stop at Mission San Luis Rey is absolutely worth it. Nestled in the heart of Oceanside, this historic gem is not just a site to behold, but a journey through California's rich past. The gardens are the first to catch your eye - beautifully manicured, vibrant with color, and an oasis of peace that invites you to stroll and reflect. Each plant, statue, and fountain tells a story, making the gardens a serene retreat. On the other side of the compound is the cemetery, which I also really enjoyed, but I know it's not for everyone. It's fun to see the dates on the headstones and ponder back to yesteryear.The history of Mission San Luis Rey is palpable in every corner. As one of the largest missions in California, it holds centuries of stories within its walls. The museum offers a deep dive into the mission's past, from its founding in 1798 by Father Fermin Lasuén to its role in the community today. The artifacts and exhibits are well-curated, providing a comprehensive view of the mission's significance in California's history.For those looking to do more, Mission San Luis Rey doesn't disappoint. Beyond the main museum and church, there are workshops, retreats, and educational programs that immerse visitors in the culture and history of the mission. As I mentioned, the cemetery is another point of interest, offering a quiet place for contemplation and a connection to the people who have been part of the mission's story.Admission prices are very reasonable, making it an accessible outing for everyone. The fee includes access to the museum, gardens, and other parts of the mission, providing great value for an enriching experience. Parking is ample and well-organized, ensuring a hassle-free start to your visit.A visit to Mission San Luis Rey is highly recommended for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a peaceful day out. Whether you're wandering through the stunning gardens, exploring the historic church and museum, or participating in one of the many activities offered, there's something here for everyone. Don't miss the gift shop on your way out for unique souvenirs to remember your visit.”

“My son attended SBB from March 2023 to June 2024. I cannot possibly fit enough into this review to explain what a great place this is! The employees at Sweet Busy Bees are loving, kind, and knowledgeable in the field of early childhood education. The only reason my son will not continue attending is due to a move across the country. If you are in the Camp Pendleton/Oceanside area and looking for a daycare, look no further. You will not be disappointed in choosing this childcare for your child!”

“Family Run business... all I can say is these people have taken great care of my babies. Starting off with them at 4 months old. It rolled over to daycare here and has continued to be an amazing experience. They no longer take care of them as they are 5 & 7 years old now but they did provide pick up service form school to home until last month and that was a big help to us. These people know how to handle kids with care. Many thanks to Laura, Cheryl, Juanita & Eduardo for all the love you have given my babies. They miss you all. I am forever thankful to you for the amazing help you have provided over the years. Jeff & Ericka”

“CFC learning centers is the best. I was nervous to start my daughter in daycare as I kept her home with me the first year but Mrs. Shoneil really eased my mind. After my daughter’s first day she didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up. Ms. Mary the infant/toddler teacher is so sweet and loving and my daughter adores her. Every morning she is so happy to see Ms. Mary and immediately takes her hand to go play. All the staff genuinely care about the children. People have complimented me on how advanced my daughter is and how great her social skills are and I really have to give kudos to her daycare and staff for helping encourage and nurture that behavior. They make sure they provide nutritious meals for the kids which also eases my mind that I’m not having to scramble and pack her meals to bring. As a busy, working mom it’s extremely difficult to trust someone else with your child for over 8 hours a day, 5 days a week…but I’m happy we’ve found a center that works for us. Thank you CFC!”

“We are so happy with our decision to send our toddler to KinderCare. The teachers here are so kind, caring, and professional. They really take the time to know your family, and they are so incredible with the kids. Of course our child was a little nervous the first couple days, but we were shocked how quickly that nervousness turned into excitement. We cannot say thank you enough to the amazing teachers here at KinderCare!!”

“My child has been attending Children’s Paradise (Oceanside) for about 2 years now and I could not have found a greater child care facility. The staff is professional, empathetic, kind and truly cares about each child. The facility is always clean and well maintained. Miss Lina, the site Director has been an integral part of my child's developmental growth by helping my family navigate and connect with community resources to help my child thrive and be happy. WIthout the help and guidance of Miss Lina I would be completely lost on my own trying to navigate the school system. Mr. Philip, the behavior specialist at the Oceanside facility is just amazing!!! His patience and knowledge has been one of the key components in the developmental and emotional growth of my child. Ms. Lupe is so compassionate, patient and truly cares for each child and is not only seen but felt through her kind spirit. The kids truly trust and love her. Ms. Kate takes a positive approach daily with patience, kindness and heartfelt compassion which has enabled my child to trust and love her so much. Ms. Ashley is basically my child's secondary mom. Her ability to talk to, understand and teach each child is part of what makes this center so amazing. I am grateful and so happy my child attends this facility and would highly recommend to any parent with childcare needs.”

“Wow! I cant say enough great things about this school. I was anxious to send my son anywhere and he was immediately welcomed and made to feel safe at KA. His teacher was phenomenal, experienced, patient and caring. When we move back here in a couple years, I plan to send my youngest here as well. Great facility, lovely staff, fun activities & lots of learning! I wish we weren’t moving so my son could stay longer! Thank you KA!”

“We've been with La Petite for 7 years between both of my kids attending. Hands down the best facility to bring your kids. From Susie the director, to the teachers. They all do an incredible job each and everyday. The connection and passion they have taking care and teaching each child. I 10/10 recommend this facility. Thank you Susie and staff for all of your dedication and love to my kids.”

“I love the outdoor play focus, and the novelty of the circle-time lessons. My toddler is well nurtured, is making close friends, and is learning every day. The communication is professional and quick with staff and teachers, I'm a happy mama indeed! Get on the waitlist but don't tell too many folks about this gem.”

“I have a boys aged 5 & 2. We've tried three different preschools in the Oceanside area over the 5 years and I'm so grateful we came to discovery isle! My oldest just finished the pre k program and my younger is still in the school. The teachers are caring and invested. The admin is responsive. Very happy with our move over!”

“I love this place! We started here about 4 weeks ago, and my daughter (10 months) has been so much happier than her old daycare! I know it seems odd, given her age, but she truly has been a happier baby since coming here. It's clean, the staff is all really nice, you can access the cameras for the room your child is in to see what they're doing, if they're napping, etc. All activities get tracked in the app. They offer food (breakfast, snacks, and lunch) every day if you want it. They will upload photos of your child into your app. You can pay through there. Payments are weekly, but you can sign up for auto-pay. Everything so far has been great.”
