Schools in Encinitas, CA

“Encinitas Country Day school has been an absolute gem for our family. The faculty and administrators are genuinely nice, caring, and deeply invested in every child’s success and well-being. From the warm, personalized attention in the small class sizes, to the responsive and supportive leadership that truly listens to parents, it feels like an extension of our own family. They create such a nurturing environment where kids thrive academically while feeling safe, valued, and inspired every single day. I cannot recommend Encinitas Country Day highly enough—it’s a truly special school with heart.”

“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”

“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!”

“I would give more stars if I could they truly deserve way more! My children attended here and had experiences from the jellyfish class up to the otter class. I always would tell Mrs. Megan they need to add a full school because I would keep my kids here forever if I could. I cannot say enough amazing things about every single person on this staff. From the director Nikki, to Mrs. Megan, Ms. Alicia, Mrs. Jessie, Ms. Kathy, Ms. Lizzie, Ms. Oisel, Ms. Grace and every other teacher and assistant teacher who work there you literally feel the love, support and empowerment for your child. It is Christian biblical based which we 100% want and love because we want our children to have a Biblical view of the world. I love that they have chapel and children get to practice praying. What I truly love more than anything is that every staff member whether your in that direct teachers class or not, knows your child and wants the best for them. I love that they are nurturing but also realistic and are shaping these little hearts to be so beautiful. Whenever my children had a tough day the teachers were always so kind and like hey how can we work together to figure out a great solution. I love that there is always open dialogue and again they TRULY want the best for my children. The academics are great my children left there being more advanced as they headed into kindergarten. They do a lot of hands on learning but again cater to your child’s interests. Toys are rotated out and there’s a new fun learning theme each month. I loved that they had jobs to pick out in the class room. My children left here academically prepared, confident and more importantly their love for God continues to shine on. The school performances are the cutest don’t miss them they are ADORABLE! I literally cried on their last day of school because I can’t say enough thank you’s to the staff at the preschool for impacting our children in the most important ways. If you want the most amazing humans on the planet to enrich your child’s life look no further you will never regret bringing them here. Thank you to every single staff member at Lighthouse for impacting our children in the most positive way!”

“The Academy at Bright Horizons is unmatched. Our son started with Ms.Monica and Ms.Angie when he was 18 months, then off to Ms.Carolyn's class who has been with the school for over 20 years, yet another testimony to the amazing organization they have not only for the kids, but for the staff as well. We ended our time at The Academy in Ms.Juju and Ms.Rosa's class, but sadly relocated and no longer attend the school. Our son still says how much he misses all his teachers, friends, and the wonderful staff at The Academy. We hope to find a program that offers what The Academy does, but you don't come by that type of care, knowledge, communication, consideration and fun very frequent.”
