Schools near Cardiff, CA

“We are so grateful for the Learning Tree! Our daughter has been there for 1.5 years and started the week she turned 2. We're happy with the teacher retention and we love all the teachers. My daughter even says several of the teachers are her best friends.

One of the most important things to me in a daycare is the outdoor play area and the amount of outdoor time. Unlike many daycares that have an outdoor area that consists of astroturf on top of a blacktop, the learning tree has a nice big yard with a garden, and beautiful trees. My daughter loves playing water games outside on warm days.

The director, Ms Amanda ensures the daycare runs like a well oiled machine and she is also very caring. I like that the daycare is big enough to give the kids ample socialization with kids their age, but small enough so that all the teachers still know every child there.”

“My children love this school. They get excited to see their friends, tell me about their days. The teachers we've had are very informative and loving toward our kids. Ms.Demi and Ms.Jeannelle are both excellent teachers that genuinely care for the kids they are teaching. They are fun to interact with when discussing children's growth which makes picking up and dropping off more enjoyable. Ms.Jackie will give my son hugs and immediately calm him down if he's having a hard time that morning with me leaving. The principal Natasha is great at her job and always willing to help where she can, I believe that comes from working her way up at Discovery Isle and knowing all aspects of the jobs that she's managing. All staff is very friendly and helpful. They send out reminders about everything and are organized with their calendars. Super clean facility with great people. I would recommend to any if my friends. :)”

“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!”

“Goddard is everything we want in our child’s school environment at this stage: clean, orderly, and fun environment, caring and competent staff, and a great developmental curriculum that supports our child’s journey. 10/10!”

“Our two daughters have been attending the Montessori School of San Marcos for over two months, and our experience has been truly outstanding. In this short time, we have seen them thrive in a nurturing environment where love, care, and safety are top priorities.
From adjusting to a new setting to developing new skills, the dedicated classroom teachers, Ms. Lucy - fantastic lady and a brilliant teacher of my 4.5 years old daughter, and Ms. Navya and Ms. Elizabeth - wonderful and compassionate teachers of my 2 years old daughter, have gone above and beyond to support their growth. Kudos to Ms. Crystal for her open communication and unwavering support that has made the transition smooth, ensuring our girls feel comfortable, engaged, and excited to learn every day.
We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact this school has already had on our daughters. Special thanks to Ms. Crystal for creating such a warm, enriching, and inspiring learning environment!”

“Bright Horizons has been an amazing experience for our family. The teachers are incredible—loving, attentive, and truly dedicated to the kids. We’ve seen our children grow so much, both socially and academically, thanks to the nurturing environment. Highly recommend!”

“Fantastic experience! For the past 7 years we sent all 3 of our kids to this preschool and everyone loved it! The teachers are fantastic, the facility is fun and clean, and the administration staff is incredible! Everything exceeded all of our family's expectations. Would highly recommend and we will continue to send our children to DI for summer camps! Big Thank you to Ms. Natalie, Ms. Dawn, Ms. Sierra, and Mrs. Rochelle who does an incredible job running everything.”

“We are a military family with a child who needs a little extra help learning academics due to ADHD & Dyslexia. This has been my child’s first week, and the staff here is incredible; so kind and caring. They literally make my child and myself feel like we’re all a team, and they also greet my youngest child who isn’t enrolled. Overall the customer service is phenomenal. I will update my review once my child has completed their course, and let other parents know if their learning/teaching strategies helped… which I am sure they will with how nurturing everyone is to my child at this location.”

“Sandy hill is truly a magical place for toddlers. We have only been here 6 months but have been impressed with teachers and day to day learning. My only wish is that they offered more hours for working families and it would really be the perfect school. If you can do half day care though, this is 100% the best school for your outdoor loving kiddo!

Updating review: sandy hill now offers full day care!!!”

“Perfect day care. I did not know that kids can learn that much at such a young age until our kid went to this daycare. The teachers have been working there for years. They know what they are doing, patient, kind and welcoming. My kid learnt a lot during her time in the daycare. She was happy during pick up which assures me that she had good time during the day.”

“I think this school is amazing. The teachers do a great job balancing learning and fun. I've seen so much growth in my 3 year old since he started here. His behavior has improved significantly. He is happy and excited to go to school every day. The Principal and VP's are very involved and work hard to ensure every child is getting their needs met. I highly recommend this school!!”

“This isn't directly related to any child, however, I wanted to share what a quality person the owner is. I signed up through the dmv website to take my CA written exam on line. Unfortunately I didn't have a laptop with a webcam handy. I called every business and/or library and none of them had computers to rent with cams. I called the learning center and they allowed me to utilize there computer and webcam in a private room free of charge. I still can't believe how kind and accommodating they were? I can only imagine this is how they treat all the parents and children that need the learning center.Thanks again for your kindness.Phil”

“I love Poinsettia KinderCare!! I know my son is in good, caring hands. My son has been at other daycare centers where it felt like they were just running a business. Here, you feel like you're part of a larger family. That culture starts from the top and permeates throughout. At Poinsettia KinderCare, we're lucky to have Mandy as the Director. She is warm, friendly, caring, and responsive. Thank you for taking care of our Charlie!!”

“We absolutely love Noah's Park. Our son went here for 2.5 years from the time he was 2 until he started TK and he loved all of his teachers. They made sure to spend a lot of time outside, weather permitting, which helped keep germs to a minimum and gave the kids space to play. They learned about Jesus and made many fun crafts. Our son will miss his time here! Thank you Tammy, Debbie, Kaela & Alex :).”

“I absolutely love what this school has done for my daughter in 9 short months (during a pandemic)! It is so wonderful to know she is safe and has such caring teachers. She is 4 and is doing addition, subtraction, spelling bee's, learning the states and has fun everyday! She was such a momma's girl and had only one on one adult attention up until the age of 4, it was a hard transition for us both, but well worth it. The before and after care program is perfect for working parents and their pricing is more than fair.”

“The Academy has been the dream school we have been looking for. Nicole, the director is kind, understanding and very inclusive. She truly cares about all the children in her school. Her staff is also wonderful, every teacher at the Academy is welcoming and you can tell all the teachers love what they do. Our experience in the past few months has been a very positive one. Our daughter has shown so much progress in the short time she's been there and she is excited to go to school every morning. Her favorite class is Art but she also enjoys gardening and the music class at the Academy. We highly recommend this school if you want your child to grow and learn in a loving, safe and fun environment. Worth every penny!”

“Canyon Crest stadium has easy access and is a good venue for professional events. The turf field is properly marked for soccer and has adequate room on the touch lines for proper officiating. The turf to track transition is true, providing a safe transition.”

“So I work in the Landscaping industry and we order all of our fertilizer and chemicals through this Co. this place is the absolute BEST! Bar none! Their customer service goes way above and beyond about any business I've ever dealt with. Their office personnel are so nice and helpful. Ann who runs the office and Leo who runs the warehouse are great! The other huge reason we use this Co is because they have this salesman name CARL DEERTZ'! Please remember that name! No one better in the industry for your fertilizer needs! He is so knowledgeable about all of his products and you don't always find that in any industry. He has on several occasions met me on many of my property sites and given me VITAL information on the fertility of some of the plants/trees. I truly appreciate Carl Deertz and Simplot Partners. There's no better place to get your fertilizer.”

“Great school and great community! Teachers are thoughtful and enthusiastic about their subject matter. Innovative curriculum, amazing resources. Excellent support from school administrators and counselors. Students learn the value of respect and community. When COVID first hit and the state was shut down on 3/19/20, LJCDS was prepared like no other. Remote classrooms came on full time within 2 days.”

“MMPP is the absolute best! All 3 of my children have attended this preschool or is currently a student. They always got excited and truly loved every minute of it. They really did learn so much and it was a smooth transition into elementary school. MMPP sets that strong foundation for them. The teachers and staff treat you like family. They really care about every student. I could not imagine my children going anywhere else for preschool!”

“My daughter goes to this school. Ms. Yolanda has been an excellent teacher to my daughter. She has learned so much these last few months and always looks forward to going to school to see her friends and teachers. They also have a physical education program that she enjoys participating in as well! Just want to thank Eastgate Christian School and especially Ms Yolanda for teaching my daughter so much I really appreciate you guys!”

“Raising a bilingual child was a priority in our mixed-heritage family, especially because we didn’t have family nearby. Within 6 months of attending LLA, my son’s vocabulary and enthusiasm for the Spanish language shifted in such a positive direction. It went from a language only mom spoke at home to a language that felt relevant and important to him. There was no other school in North County that offered TRUE Spanish immersion, 100% of the time. I am so grateful for all they did for my son and to help me preserve my heritage language at home. Highly recommend!”

“We sent both of our children from the ages of 2 to 4 to Pilgrim and we cannot speak highly enough of the school. It is such a warm/homey environment, and the teachers are so incredibly loving and caring--Miss Katia, Miss Sarah, and Miss Karina have such special places in our hearts. The school is play-based so the kids have many opportunities to explore various activities at their own pace, to use their imaginations, to play outside for a significant amount of time each day. Though the school is at a church, there is no religious curriculum, which our family preferred. Our children loved the school and were always so happy at the end of the day. We can't recommend Pilgrim enough!”

“We love our school. My daughter has flourished and is thriving in her studies. The staff and teachers are incredibly loving and supportive. Could not be happier.”

“I absolutely recommend this school, my son loves this preschool, he is so happy in the mornings and get ready so fast because he can’t wait to see his friends and learn, the staff and all the teachers are amazing. I highly recommend Childtime to any parent looking for a great school in San Diego.”

“Not a day goes by that I don’t feel gratitude for having dependable childcare and a team of providers that genuinely care for my kids and seem to enjoy what they do. My littles feel at home here, too. I’d recommend KCRC to anyone!”
