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.

Do not enroll your babies here! Lupita is NOT trustworthy! My niece was attending this day care a few years back and my sister strongly recommended it. We were excited to enroll our 4 year old son we heard nothing but good things about Lupita. Our son had a speech delay at the time and he had a difficult time expressing himself. So we felt at ease knowing that he would be safe, with his cousin who had always expressed how much she loved Lupita. Things were good for a while, until we started noticing bruises around the corner of our sons eye area, not only once... but twice! When we noticed it the first time, we immediately sent Lupita a text message and wanted to know what happened? Did he fall? Was he rough playing? Was it an accident? Typical questions that any parent has a right to ask. She explained that he was playing and that he injured himself playing with a toy. The 2nd time it happened again, roughly a month later. He had another bruise in the same area, we asked what caused the injury this time? Her response to us was, "You are more than welcome to take your son out of this daycare and it's probably best if you guys enroll him somewhere else!" She sounded annoyed at the fact that we were even asking and didn't bother explaining what had happened and why he got this bruise again while he was in her care. Even though it's a fact that in any daycare and even in any school setting there is always an accident report or a verbal explanation to the parents if an accident had occurred on school premises or in any day care setting. But apparently us asking was her reason for terminating our contract. We found another place shortly after and he never had any bruises again but looking back now and we wish that it had happened a little sooner than it did. My son, who is now 11 years old and he no longer has a speech delay, describes it clear as day that he remembers, Lupita raising her hand and slapping it against his little face on multiple occasions. He describes the back yard, the room where they did arts and crafts, the red wall, which I don't remember a "Red Wall" but now after all these years later 7 to be exact I look at her pictures of her daycare and I see the Pink Brick wall with all of her certificates hanging. How can he remember that?!?! And if you look at the pictures she posted on here just as he describes there it is... and he also remembers the area where they took their naps. He mentioned that it happened near the door where she had hit him multiple times to the T. He describes remembering seeing a large hand right above his face, he doesn't remember the pain but he remembers getting hit. He is traumatized by Lupita and her anger issues along with zero tolerance for hyper little ones. My son also had a hyper personality as some little kids at 4 years old who can't communicate verbally as other little kids can. We have no reason to lie or speak wrongfully of someone who is trying to run an honest and ligament business. We just don't want another innocent child who can't defend themselves fall at the hands of someone who has no patience and low tolerance for little ones who can't advocate for themselves. My son just confessed this to me in these past few days...at the age of 11. I always knew in the back of my mind that something was off. She may seem warm, friendly and trustworthy to your face about taking care of your babies but no one really knows what happens behind closed doors. Just know if you ever get that sinking gut feeling when you're walking away after dropping off your babies and leaving them in someone else's care. Always listen to that gut feeling, sometimes your babies crying when you walk away may be a cry for help.

We love, love, LOVE Baby Boop Daycare! Miss Lupita and Miss Libby are absolutely incredible. I had a bad experience with my previous in-home daycare where my son came home and said the lady hit her. I had to pull him out right away spent two whole days looking for daycares. Baby Boop Daycare was the last one on my list and thank GOD it was, because it was literally meant to be. When I met her I remember saying wow...I feel like God saved the best for last! Lupita is just so kind. She and Libby truly care about the children like they are their own. Not to mention, it always smells AMAZING when you walk in the door!! They cook such great, homemade meals for them! Not boring, plain food like you would see at other daycares. They have a huge backyard to play at. And the inside area is set up so beautifully with tons of things to learn and do. It literally looks like a preschool. Lupita is super communicative and always there if you have any concerns. My son has never, ever asked to go to the other daycare. He would drag his feet and scream and cry hysterically when I dropped him off. With this daycare, he literally asks on the weekends when he is going back. And during the evenings he tells me he had fun. He is only 2, so it makes me so happy knowing he loves where he is going! My daughter, who is 1, goes straight in with a smile on her face. Oh, AND she talks to them and teaches them Spanish! My kids literally will come home saying things in Spanish and I am so impressed. It will become a second language to them the longer they are there. It just makes me so relieved knowing I found the best place for my children to be. I 10000% recommend Baby Boop Daycare. We are so blessed to have found it!!

I can not express how relieving it was to find such a caring, loving, nurturing and educational daycare for my 2 children who are 3 and 1 1/2 years old. We are a military family that had recently moved to the west coast last year. After we moved here, my children were attending a TutorTime and at every drop off, my oldest would cry. At first I thought it was the change from moving but when i found out it was due to negligence I took them out right away. I was a little hesistant about an in home daycare but I am so relieved I found Lupita! My daughter would be excited to go to 'Pita's' which was a huge relief. My son adores Lupita and Liby. My only regret was not finding Lupita sooner! She truly loves the kids and it passionate about what she does.

My daughter is 2 years old and she is always happy when she gets to Pita's, she is learning colors, letters and shapes. Lupita makes very nutritious meals for the kids, they take naps and play outside when the weather is nice. They have birthday parties with pinatas and goodie bags, and celebrate holidays like Christmas, Easter and Halloween. Lupita is always making sure they kids are happy . I recommend Baby Boop Daycare.

Baby Boop Daycare cares for, nurtures, and teaches children of all ages. Lupita (owner) is educated in child development and she truly cares for all of the children in her daycare as if they are her own.

If I could give this daycare negative stars, I would. I do not understand why my review keeps being removed, I am the grandmother of her only 10 month old who used to attend her daycare. I would drop off my grandson in the mornings and my daughter would pick him up. I experienced this first hand with how Lupe treated my precious grandson, kids are not an object and shouldn't be treated how Lupe treats them. What Lupita did with my grandson was beyond unacceptable, if she did not want to take care of infants, then why does she still accept them at her daycare. My grandson would sit in a highchair for who knows how long because she does not believe in carrying the children, not even to rock them to sleep. She leaves the infants in the crib crying until they fall asleep, he was the only infant (0-12 months) enrolled in her daycare and she still could not even take time out of her day to care for him the right way. The only thing she did right in the whole 5 months he was there was feed him and most times she would over feed him! He'd come home spitting up his lunch and wouldn't even have a bottle till around 8-9 pm when he would be picked up around 4:30 pm! Lupita really needs updated pictures of how her yard looks, there is not as much grass as her picture shows from 8 years ago. There is mostly dirt (slipping hazard) and cement (which if a child falls or scrapes something will be painful). This is not a safe or secure place to leave any child at, all the children do is stay outside all day long. She does not use the indoor space at all, even if it is freezing cold the children will be outside. She only has one employee Julieta (full time employee) and there is an ocasional employee who only comes when community care licensing is checking in on her. Julieta is always cleaning, rarely ever interacts with the children. Her doors are mostly always unlocked (which is a possible danger since anyone can walk on in). One day I walked on in and saw Julieta cleaning the sink with a toothbrush. The way Lupita says she takes care of children, is not how she actually does it. My grandson had 2 accidents at her daycare under her care and she doesn't even know the right story to tell me, she tried giving me so many stories as to how it happened but never believed any of them! I do not recommend this daycare to anyone, her reviews from YEARS ago should be removed because they are not at all accurate. My daughter used these old reviews to find the right daycare for my grandson, but ended up being a nightmare. Please don't leave your children here!!

Lupita and her staff have been taking care of my daughter since she was a few months old and now she's two. Not only does all of my daughters physical needs get taken care of but as well as her mental and emotional needs. Lupita has always made sure that all the milestones for her age have been met. She's well fed every day with home made food and not store bought processed food. She's teaching her all her numbers and letters (in both English and Spanish). My daughter speaks both English and Spanish fluently because of the employees at Baby Boop Daycare and my daughter has learned invaluable social skills. Baby Boop Daycare is an immaculately clean and safe environment. Lupita is always patient with my husband and I and makes us feel like we're her only clients! She's very flexible with our schedule. She has no problem with us having to drop our daughter off a little earlier or pick her up a little later than usual. Lupita has taught us a lot of things about parenting that have helped us immensely. From the first moment I met Lupita in our interview, I knew she was the one to take care of my precious little girl. Lupita doesn't take care of children to make a living, she does it because she LOVES doing it and that reflects in my daughter. My daughter is happy, smart, and well rounded and I feel that's because of Lupita and her staff. My husband and I want to move out of our current apartment but one of our biggest requirements is that it has to be close to Baby Boop Daycare. We would be absolutely lost without her. My husband and I are VERY protective and I can't believe we haven't driven Lupita crazy yet but she's so sweet and so patient with us. I really feel like she loves my daughter as if she were family. On top of all that, it's VERY affordable. If your child is a Baby Boop child, you can bet they'll be loved, cherished, and taught invaluable skills for a better future. LOVE YOU PITA!

This daycare from the surface seemed like it was a good place to have my 5 month old, but it ended up being a horrible daycare. My son was only attending this daycare for 5 months, he left at 10 months old, we were actively looking for a new daycare, but the owner ended up terminating our contract without any prior conversation or knowledge to us. We were not horrible clients, we payed her on time, and there were no arguments or fallouts between us. She gave the termination paper to my mom and her reason was that she didn't want my son hurting himself at her daycare anymore because when he did come home with bumps, we always told her to be more careful with him. To me it seemed like she didn't understand, my mom would tell her and she would laugh it off as my mom being too much of an overprotective grandma. The 2 times that my son had bumps on his head, I was told multiple confusing reasons as to how he got them by the owner, maybe it was to confuse me from the truth and to not ask again. Eventually her full time employee came out with the truth as to what happened to my son both times, which is completely unacceptable. As a baby they cannot defend themselves and let their parents know what happened, you are paying for their service of taking care of your child and should know what goes on when your child is under their care. Also, if the owner and employee are too busy to tend to your child, your infant will sit in a high chair until they have time, who knows for how long they end up sitting there for. If you have an infant your child will be placed on a blanket which is their "safe place" while they are outside among the rest of the children (2 yrs and up) playing, that is an accident waiting to happen since there is nothing actually separating the infants from the older children. Infants are never separated from older children, only when it's nap time. One time when picking up my son the door was unlocked so I walked right in, he was outside sitting on the blanket and there was no adult outside. There are only 2 people that work there (owner and full time employee) and neither of them were outside with my son and the older children. Thankfully nothing happened, but how could they leave an infant outside on the floor with older children around them. Owner does have only one full time employee and that employee is always cleaning, every time I walk in to pick up my son she is cleaning. I have also been told by her current and previous employee that when it is nap time, the owner lets infants crying in the crib until they are tired of crying and eventually fall asleep. There have been pictures the owner have sent me that show my son in the crib and I can see he has is terrified "I've cried for too long" face and if we ask if he cried, the answer is either no or very little. This daycare is the cheapest (price wise) that I have came across and now I understand why, the cost is cheap and so is the daycare. Infants cannot defend themselves, they cannot advocate for themselves, so that is why I am here advocating for my son. 100% do not recommend. The bump was something Lupita did not even let me be aware of, I had to text over the picture and personally had to ask how did my son get this bump under her care. Her made up story was that my son hit his head against a toy, but the real story eventually came from her employee Juliette saying a 5 year old threw himself on my son. You must really be unorganized and neglectful if you do not know when a child is hurt under your care.

My daughter Seven has been with Lupita since she was 8 months old. My daughter is bilingual and bi-literate as a result of the start she got with Lupita and her helpers at Baby Boop Daycare. She is a part of the family and will always have a special place in our hearts. We still come for visits even though my daughter is now in elementary school. I could not have asked for a better start to my daughter's education not to mention the social and physical stimulation she was exposed to as well. I highly recommend Baby Boop Daycare!! Seven LOVES her Pita!!

Safe, secure and loving - this daycare has it all! My grandchildren have been coming here for 12 years and I wouldn't want them to go anywhere else. If your looking for a daycare you can trust and make your child feel loved, check out Baby Boop Daycare!

5 stars is not enough to accurately rate how good Pita is. Lupita is a smart, loving and a caring person who will treat your child like her own. There is so many good things she does, most importantly, she teaches my child English and Spanish which is important in San Diego. She also cooks her kids gourmet meals with fresh ingredients. My baby seriously eats better than I do at Pita's house. She also gives them fresh fruits which I like. Her home is always clean and her assistant Julietta is very nice. Her back yard is filled with toys and playground equipment which is good since I live in an apt, I want my baby to be able to play outside and in a playground environment. She also celebrates your kids b-day on their birthday and buys them a piñata and cake and pizza. She takes very good care of her kids. If you need daycare in El Cajon Pita is the best. We will stay in El Cajon just for pita alone as she is that good. Her prices are also very good. Simply put she is awesome.

Baby Boop's Daycare reputation and Lupitas work ethic speaks for itself. I have recommended her daycare to whom ever has asked me in the past. She provides excellent care, teaches the kids spanish, does age appropriate arts & crafts, always goes the extra mile celebrating each childs birthdays, and all holidays. Finding someone to provide quality childcare is a blessing. Taking care of someone elses children is hard work, but also so rewarding when you have a passion for it. Great job Lupita!
