Schools in Santee, CA

“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!”

“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 recommend this daycare for your kids if they are under 2. My son started with Ms. Andrea at 8 months old. She is one of the best teachers we had there. You can tell she really loves her job and cares about the kids so much. Even when my son moved up to the other classrooms, he would stop by to see the babies and say hi to her. My son loved going to school here. They have delicious food (breakfast, lunch, and snack) all cooked and served by their in-house chef, Ms. Maria. Honestly, I think they helped expand my son's palate more than I could have done at home. They got to play outside a lot, even as infants. They do a lot of arts and crafts and music and dancing. I loved seeing updates on the app throughout the day. It' a great program for the most part.The reason I can't give a 5 star review is because my son was the target of a biter in his class. He would come home with bite marks fairly often once he moved into the Toddler classroom (16mo-24mo). I feel like supervision started lacking in this room and he wasn't getting as much attention as before. The classroom was really cool with a little play structure inside, but I think it was a lot of 'free play time' for the most part. I knew it was time to leave when my son turned 2 years old, because the ratio goes from 1:6 to 1:12 with twice as many students. The opening room has a lot of older kids and it was too chaotic during drop offs. Sadly, we had to leave our friends and teachers behind for another daycare setting.”
