Schools in San Diego, CA

“They are very communicative, professional, and a safe, fun, & friendly environment for my son. Now, my son LOVES going to school. Meals are great, they get to do creative things each day, indoor and outdoor playtime, and pricing is great! They have an app that is easy to use, pictures are sent almost everyday, and easy to talk to admin.”

“We loved having our child at Little Angels Academy’s crawling infant and 1 year old classrooms! Our baby began attending at 10 months. The facilities include plenty of space for both indoor and outdoor activities, with a separate indoor area for naps in each room. They make homemade meals each day. Every single one of the staff members and teachers are friendly, attentive, and deeply care about the children. Special shoutout to Bertha, Liz, Raquel, Mari, and Brianna! Our little one has learned a lot under their care. Little Angels uses an app to communicate updates to parents and they are a qualified MCCYN provider. The experience has overall been great!”

“Highly recommend Sacred Heart Preschool! We absolutely love everyone that has taught and taken care of my son over the past few years. They feel like home every time I drop my son off. Really there's so many wonderful things to say about them!”

“We love Primrose School of 4S Ranch and feel so lucky to have found them! From the moment we first toured, we felt welcomed and reassured. The staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. Our child has special needs so we needed to find somewhere that truly understands and embraces inclusion, patience and acceptance and Primrose does just that.

The teachers are not only professionally trained but also naturally compassionate, they truly see our child and celebrate every small milestone with genuine joy. The team keeps us updated with daily reports and pictures, which really helps us stay connected and feel involved even during the busy workday. We always know our child is in good hands, safe, and thriving.”

“We love the Vine, from the day my baby now to almost a year started it’s been a wonderful experience. Infant 1 always made me feel involved in my son’s care. It’s never easy for a parent to leave your baby with someone you don’t know. Once we saw how clean it was, and how much they truly care for my baby it was easy to build that trust. The teachers are patient, nurturing, and attentive. The plus of the whole experience is being able to follow my baby’s care with their amazing app, all the cute pictures, knowing when he eats, and takes his naps. The teachers are on top of any changes and updates to your baby’s schedule. All the teachers are very sweet, communicate through out the day, respond quickly, and get to know you as the parents. This is really helpful to know our baby and truly feel the love & support while under their care. They followed my son’s schedule and helped us get on a new schedule once he went u to infant 2 which for any parent change isn’t easy. Another important thing was my son had a helmet for 3 months, and they knew how to handle it along with the extra physical therapy my baby needed to follow at home or at the day care. The Vine center is the best place I could have chosen for our son. On top of the wonderful experience we’ve had the location is perfect, close to the freeway. Finally I would like to say how grateful I am for my son’s development and believe through the Vine he learned how to crawl as he saw other babies doing it. We’re so pleased and happy to be able to share my experience.”

“As first-time daycare parents, we were nervous about leaving our 18-month-old, but Louise and her team at Green Beans immediately put our worries to rest.

Our daughter has thrived under their care, quickly picking up new words, phrases and skills we hadn't seen at home. The nurturing environment has been perfect for her development and confidence.

We honestly wish we had started here sooner! For any parents considering daycare options, we cannot recommend GB enough! Louise and her staff give individual attention, love, and care to each student and we can't thank them enough!”

“We have had the best experience at Sorrento Valley Children's Center. Our son attended for 2 years and our daughter is in the midst of finishing up her last year (T-K) here. The center and teachers cultivate a warm, family-like environment. It is a traditional play-based but very educational preschool program that does well to prepare the kids socially and academically for kindergarten. There is a rich, engaging year-round program of activities and learning that are offered and that our children love. They have small classroom sizes and have a great teacher:student ratio, which has been amazing. Our son was beyond ready for kindergarten when the time came, thanks to the wonderful teachers at SVCC! Truly a gem and a fantastic preschool!”

“I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and both girls have went to Early Learners since they were 3 months old. The staff is very communicative and caring and I truly have nothing but nice things to stay about the teachers, administration, etc. The facility is very clean and has great curriculum for the students. There also is not a lot of teacher turn over and I've had the same or similar teachers for both girls since they have been in the facility. Would highly recommend!”

“Everyone here is absolutely amazing, the teachers are so caring and sweet. The team was an absolute gem when I needed to get my daughter care while I attended school. We miss them tons! If we ever return to the area I would totally come back!”

“Kids Care Club has had a positive and wonderful impact on our family. Our child (Kid A) joined KCC earlier this year in the Pre-K class. Kid A's teachers, Ms. Famil and Ms. Sarah, were knowledgeable, thoughtful, and kind-hearted. They not only prepared my child academically for kindergarten, but they also provided a safe space for my child to grow and learn appropriate social skills. They patiently taught them right from wrong and also confidently taught them replacement behaviors for undesired ones. They met Kid A with loving and firm boundaries. Their classroom was an environment full of learning, fun, and growth. Kid A loved school and I could tell the teachers, and the entire staff at KCC, cared so much for Kid A and their classmates. Our younger child also joined KCC a few months ago and we love Kid B's teachers and class as well. Ms. Ginger, the Center Director, and Ms. Arianna, the Assistant Director, have also been welcoming and kind. Both have helped us by answering questions and finding solutions. They make us and our children feel welcome and well cared for. We love KCC!”

“We wholeheartedly recommend Coastal Christian Academy to any family looking for a supportive, faith-based school with an exceptional education in San Diego. The academic experience here is outstanding, and we’ve been so impressed by the entire community. As a military family, relocating and adjusting to a new school every few years can be daunting, but joining CCA has truly been a blessing! From day one, our son and family felt welcomed. Mrs. Jacobs, the CCA staff, teachers, and families welcomed us with open arms, and we immediately felt God’s love pouring out through everyone. CCA beautifully combines faith, high-quality education, care and a strong sense of community to create an incredible environment for kids and families.

The personalized care and attention students receive is incredible and an answered prayer. A huge shout-out to Mrs. LaRosa and Mrs. Jennifer for their support! The small class sizes and individualized teaching are a big reason we continue to stay here. The teachers genuinely care about each student’s academic progress and understand the unique needs of every child. Whether a student needs extra support or a greater challenge, the teachers work tirelessly to ensure their success. In addition to nurturing academic growth, they pray for and with the children, instilling God’s love and guidance in everything they do. They also maintain regular communication with parents to ensure we are always aware of how our children are progressing.

Aside from academics and individualized learning, the love and support from everyone at CCA has been another reason why we love it here. Drop-off and pick-up feel like family gatherings - something those far from family can appreciate as we rebuild our little villages every time we move. The staff and teachers know each child by name, not just their own class, and welcome the kids each morning with a smile. I especially love watching my son and the school come together every morning by the flagpole to recite their pledges and pray for the day ahead.

My son also loves Chapel time where students across all grades get to connect and worship together. The values taught by teachers, chapel time and activities across the school like POD teams, have been amazing. It is encouraging to see the older students (middle school and high-school) serving as role models for younger ones, teaching good morals and leadership skills through POD activities.

The strong sense of community, faith-filled environment, and commitment to both academic and spiritual growth make this school a truly special place. Highly, highly recommend it to any family seeking a supportive, Christ-centered education for their child!”

“We’re so grateful we found CMP after moving to the area. This is our son’s first real daycare experience, and it’s been a huge step up from the Montessori he attended in our previous city.
From day one, CMP has impressed us — the environment is thoughtful, the activities are meaningful, and the campus is filled with great amenities for kids. But what really makes the difference is the staff. Miss Grecia and Miss Sydney have been absolutely wonderful with our son. They helped him adjust to the new space with so much patience, care, and love. You can tell they truly care about the kids and know what they’re doing.

In just a short time, we’ve seen real growth in our son, and we know it’s because he feels safe, cared for, and engaged in his classroom. It’s clear that the teachers here aren’t just doing a job — they’re invested in the children and the experience they’re creating.

We also learned that Miss Sydney will be moving to teach an older class soon. While we’re excited for her next step and know the older kids will be lucky to have her, we’ll definitely miss her in our son’s current classroom.

CMP has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’re so thankful for the impact it’s already had on our family.”

“We were booked to bring various macaws and a conure for the young children to see, hold for photos. The staff were very friendly and professional. The children very much enjoyed the parrots; we were impressed with the nurturing supervision the children were given. Beautiful campus as well.?”

“This school really cares for the children. I would not hesitate to put my child here. Staff work well as a team. It is very clean with a lovely playground. The children in every class are occupied with a great learning environment throughout the day. Very loving place in a convenient location. Excellent directors and teachers.
Highly recommend.”

“Great, biblical teaching. Good community with small groups and studies. The members and pastors are willing to meet and teach more about the denomination and God's Truth. I would highly recommend a visit! Be prepared for a traditional service, which was new for me, but the pastor and members were helpful in answering any questions I had throughout my past year here.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this daycare center! My children have been attending for over 3 years, and it truly feels like a second home for our family. From the very beginning, the staff has been welcoming, attentive, and deeply caring. They treat every child with patience and kindness, making sure each one feels safe, loved, and valued.
The teachers are not only professional but also genuinely passionate about what they do. They take the time to understand each child’s personality and needs, encouraging growth and learning in a fun and nurturing environment. I’ve seen so much positive development in my kids — socially, emotionally, and academically — and I credit this amazing team for that.
The center is always clean, well-organized, and filled with engaging activities that keep the children excited to come back every day. As a parent, it gives me great peace of mind knowing my kids are in such capable and caring hands.
After more than three years, I can confidently say this is the best decision we’ve made for our children’s early education and care. I am so grateful for the love, dedication, and support the staff provides daily. Highly recommend to any family looking for a daycare that truly puts children first!”

“We've had our son at Kid Ventures 4S for almost three years, and it’s been an amazing experience. The staff is warm, welcoming, and truly cares about the kids. From the start, they made us feel confident that our son was in great hands.

He’s always excited to go to school, and we’ve seen so much growth in him—socially, emotionally, and academically. The environment is both fun and structured, and it’s clear the teachers put a lot of effort into making learning engaging. They offer a great mix of activities, from creative arts and hands-on science projects to outdoor play and physical activity. It’s the perfect balance of learning and fun.

One of the things I really appreciate is how Kid Ventures actively involves parents and builds a sense of community. Whether it's special events, parent participation days, or regular communication about what’s happening in the classroom, they make sure families feel connected and engaged in their child’s early education.

Now, as he gets ready for kindergarten, we know he’s well prepared thanks to his time here. I highly recommend Kid ventures to any parent looking for a preschool where their child will be cared for, challenged, and supported in a welcoming community.”

“We have been taking our little one here for over 2 years and it's been great. My daughter loves the daycare, especially the teachers. The teachers really go above and beyond to interact with the children, develop fun activities, and demonstrate they care. Special shutout and appreciation to Miss Victoria, Miss Ledge and Miss Sherry! In addition, this year the site has a new director that has transformed the facility, increased communication, and has made transformational changes to make the experience great. Thank you!”

“We have 2 kids that were at SEA for 3 years and we are so grateful for them. Everybody here from the staff to the teachers are amazing. Our kids loved them all and they loved our kids back. The classroom environment made the transition to kindergarten so easy because they were so well prepared. The hardest part about going to this school was leaving!”

“I haven’t been, but I’m sitting in line for In N Out (across the freeway) and noticed THIS!!!! We stan queer friendly churches!!! Happy Pride, y’all!?️‍??❤️?????”

“Love Lawrence JCC - one of my favorite pools of all time!!! They always have longer lanes open which is a dream to me. The pool is kept at a very nice temperature. It took me no time at all to work back up to 1 hour straight of laps and I don't get too hot or cold - a godsend!! Pool is pretty clean although I do see some random stuff at the bottom sometimes lol but that's a given. A lot of kids swim here and this is the one bit of downside - the swim team reserves the pool from 3-6 every weekday. It's not great timing for those who want to hop in the pool directly after work and it always kinda sucks to swim after an entire team for quality purposes. I've just started coming in the mornings instead when I can make it out, unfortunately I got sick recently (probably from swimming here tbh even though it is very clean) so it's been a couple of weeks. Writing this to encourage myself to go back :) Also want to try swimming with the Masters tem someday! I'm Jewish but there are plenty of non-Jews that come here. So don't let that stop you. Staff is mostly very friendly and so are the other gym goers. It's nice that they have a cafe and multiple places to eat inside although I haven't tried those yet. The workout room is really nice. Equipment is clean and modern, 1 squat rack, wall mounted punching bag. It hasn't been crowded every time I've gone in there, even at peak times. I always get a lane to myself in the pool too. Women's locker room is very nice, can't speak for the men's obvs but it was recently closed for a bit. So hopefully everything is okay there. Showers are nice and soap is provided. No towels. 2 swimduit drying machines. Thank you JCC for being such a wonderful facility!!!”

“St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and School is a welcoming and supportive community where I have made life-long friends in Christ. The first time I attended St. Paul’s over 10 years ago, I knew that I was going to join. I look forward each week to hearings God’s Word and experiencing Christ’s love for us. From the quality and inspiring Bible-based messages given by our Pastors’ to the phenomenal music program in both the church and school, we truly are blessed. I am very lucky to be in the adult church choir and to be part of the music program. I am, and often more than once during the service, moved to tears when experiencing moments of joy and belonging (which also can be embarrassing). Our school is committed to educating students to be prepared for the future academically, technologically, emotionally, and spiritually. We would love for you to come to St. Paul’s and “dream with us” and be part of our future. We welcome you with open hearts and arms.”

“We started at this KinderCare in April 2022 and we love this daycare center! I cannot recommend this location enough! Sarah and Mary do such an amazing job running it, and every teacher/classroom has been incredible. In the ~3 years we’ve been at this center, I have always felt comfortable trusting them with my kids. I know my kids are loved, well taken care of, and learning so much. I feel so fortunate to have a daycare that feels like a family and not just a business.

This past week there was a fire on the mountain behind the daycare, only a couple hundred feet from the facility. The staff was incredible and evacuated all the kids to across the street. They kept the kids safe and calm during the crisis! Due to road closures, we were unable to get to our kids immediately. The staff did a great job communicating to the parents, we were informed of their location, and they sent photos of the kids. My daughter’s teacher said they do fire drills so often that all the teachers knew exactly what to do when they were evacuated.

I love Rancho Bernardo KinderCare, before we moved to this location we had some bad experiences with other daycares. But Rancho Bernardo KinderCare has always been a positive experience!”

“Our daughter has been at the University City Kindercare for five months and they have done an excellent job caring for her. The teachers approach each day with such positivity and the developmental activities they do for infants are fantastic and have definitely helped our daughters development. We'd recommend this location to anyone looking for childcare!”

“The whole staff at PB G3 Kids is absolutely fantastic, caring, and flexible. Especially, Davina! Not sure how she can successfully mother 20 rambunctious kids at a time, but she does it. Also, it's fun to get to relive my youth on their trampolines via my toddler.”

“We have sent all of our children through Kids Care Club in the span of 8 years. The fact that we had familiar faces even when we came back with our youngest shows how committed the staff and team are to fostering a healthy, safe, and happy work environment. The facilities are always so tidy, there's always someone to greet you warmly at the door, and Tobi and Katie along with the teachers are so communicative about everything related to your child! My kids have always come home singing songs and learning so much - by the time my oldest started Kindergarten they were already reading, writing, and way ahead of their peers - and it's all thanks to KCC. Sad to leave as our youngest moves upward and onward, but truly a gem in local childcare. We'll miss you!”

“We are very happy with Dot to Dot Childcare Center! The staff are incredibly caring and kind, creating a warm and welcoming environment. My daughter loved the daycare from day one, which was a huge relief for us—especially since she’s not always the easiest child to settle in new places. We are so glad we found this wonderful childcare center and feel reassured knowing our daughter is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“I will forever be thankful that we found World of Wonders Preschool for our kid! I only wish we had found them sooner. Our fam recommends them to anyone and everyone.”

“LifeBridge Academy has not only an incredible preschool program, but an amazing Elementary School program as well. Both of my kids have been attending since they turned 2, and will continue until we run out of grade levels! Julie is an A+ director and all of her staff truly loves the kids.”

“Great program! Amazing staff, menu, updates on our kids, and I love that they feed them breakfast, lunch, and a snack. My daughters now singing in mandarin and loves going to school !”
