  Kiddies Kroner has thus far been a positive experience for my child. The educators in the classroom show a strong commitment to their students, frequently providing detailed updates on daily activities. I appreciate the daily educational initiatives they incorporate, along with the sharing of photographs that showcase the learning experiences taking place. The principal demonstrates effective leadership, and the educators are notably caring and supportive towards the children. My child looks forward to attending daycare and enjoys engaging with peers, which is wonderful to see. Overall, there are many strengths in the program that contribute to my child's development and well-being.

  Our daughter was in Kiddies Korner since she was an infant until the last day before kindergarten, and we've been very happy and satisfied with everyone we've interacted with at Kiddies Korner. Not long after we started there, we had an opportunity to move our daughter into a Montessori style daycare with a bigger, 'nicer' facility. We opted to stay because our daughter seemed perfectly happy where she was. We never regretted the decision.The teachers care about the children and teach them with love and patience. We feel like they treat the children like their own. Our daughter was always happy to go and came home happy. There was even a stretch of time where we had to cajole her and bribe her with stickers to go home. If that's not a stamp of approval, I don't know what is. She genuinely loves her teachers and will miss them.In the five plus years I've done drop-offs and pick-ups, the place has always been clean. My daughter stayed safe and generally healthy going here every day, even during the pandemic years. Thank you to everyone at KK in the past 5 years! We'll miss you!

  I was shocked to read a fellow teacher review. I have worked for a big Nobel Preschool for over ten years. Ms. Sanya is not greedy. She is the most loving boss I have ever had. In a big preschool company you are NO BODY to the corporate. This is why I started working at Kiddies Korner in April of 2021. On the first week that I got hired, Ms. Sanya had all her employees took CPR and First Aid classes. I was in my classroom prepping my new workspace. I was fully qualified to be a Pre-K Teacher, Infant/Toddler Teacher, and I decided to take a few more classes to be a Assistant Director because there was room for me to grow. Back to Ms. Sanya, after working for another preschool for the past ten year I had never felt really special. Ms. Sanya has heart of gold. I have never had a compassionate boss as her As a currently assistant director, I double-checked all Kiddies Korner employees' files and I am proud to say they are all fully qualified to be teachers and assistant teachers. We recently renewed all of our staff CPR and First Aid (Infant & Preschool/ School Age) My son, Daniel went here last summer for "summer camp". He had so much fun meeting Spider-Man and working on other summer camp activities. He wanted to go this year but he is just too old. Trust me, I would not have the title as Assisant Director if Ms. Sanya were a greedy person. All my teachers here at Kiddies Korner truly enjoy working with children and love them like their own kids. As an Assistant Director, I know that Ms. Sanya gives back to her community as well. She is a very humble and caring person. I can state this fact because I had personally delivered "Thank you Baskets" around our community during the holiday seasons. If there is a time in the future that I am no longer working her, then I would still recommend all my friends to the take them to Kiddies Korner rather than big corporation daycare around our community.

  I am a former teacher that worked at Kiddies Korner from December 2016 to the start of May 2022 and I am perplexed why such a negative review was left by another former teacher because my experience with the school is the complete opposite from theirs. I believe that support from a reliable and trustworthy administrative person is something that is very important to have when you work at a preschool and Sanya went above and beyond as the director while I worked for her, which is why I happily stayed and worked for her so long. If I hadn't moved out of San Diego County I probably would still be working for her too. There were many ups and downs, which is common in the industry we work in and was to be expected but Sanya always took responsibility and sought out ways to solve any problems that the center or the staff were faced with so I have nothing but good things to say about her and I am grateful that I was able to learn, grow and take the experience I've had from working there with me to a new school in Riverside county where I live now. She always allowed me to take time off to take classes and I was fully qualified with more than the required 12 units in a short amount of time at the beginning of the time I worked there. She also made sure staff was up to date with first aid and CPR qualifications. She attended the same classes with me three times as well which showed how dedicated she was to ensuring the children were in good hands.I have so many positive memories from working at Kiddies Korner because of Sanya, my fellow coworkers I worked with, the families and of course the children I was so grateful to be able to work with. Kiddies Korner felt more than a school to me. I was part of a small family during my time there and I will always appreciate and look back fondly at the time I spent there. I highly recommend bringing your children to this school. The center is beautiful, the staff is great and there's so much any child can learn and benefit from while attending school there.

  This is a response to Julia M. My daughter has been attending Kiddies Corner since July 2022. Julia, I do not ever remember you working here and wonder why you decided to write such a nasty review if you haven't been employed at this facility for several months. This yelp review really reflects your dissatisfaction as an employee versus an overall review on the daycare operations as a whole. My best advice for you is to stay clear of attempting to discredit a thriving business that is much needed in the community. The accusations that you made do not reflect the state inspection reports that I've read prior to enrolling my daughter. We are a military family that has been overly pleased by this facility. We are utilizing childcare fee assistance through the military and I spent a year getting paperwork submitted to gain approval. The contracted military entity completed extensive background checks on the current workers that Sanya employs. Not only was this paperwork given to this entity with most recent paperwork from state inspections it was approved as a reputable childcare facility. Again, viewable state inspections do not concur with Julia's unverified anecdotal claims. I want to address the cleanliness claim. I've never witnessed mouse droppings, rats, rodent traps, or sticky traps. I've been the first one in and the last one to pick up my child. Never have I been concerned with the cleanliness of the facility. I am disgusted with your yelp review and hope that you stop attempting to destroy a daycare and the director that has supported me and my family over the past year. If you are upset please take your comments elsewhere. Unfortunately again, your claims do not by any means reflect any findings from annual state inspections.

  I WORKED HERE AND WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO LET THEIR KIDS GO HERE !!Kiddies Korner was the most unkept school I've ever seen and is run by a greedy owner, Sanya. I got a job as LEAD TEACHER at this place with only a few credits in Child Development. When I started the job, I knew she hired unqualified people, but didn't expect every teacher to be unqualified. Which is against the law because you cannot be in ratio if the teachers are unqualified! Not to mention none of the teachers are CPR certified, also against the law!! Everyone was being paid once a month, minimum wage with no benefits at this falling apart school with sticky traps in the bathrooms and under cribs and rodent droppings in the cubbies with students clothes and belongings. At one point I was expected to put away sticky traps every morning before parents arrived. There was a few mornings we actually caught mice and I had to put them in a trash bag and throw it away, and one time caught a rat !! Not in the job description to deal with pest control !! The owner was so cheap, she didn't want to get a rodent control person to fix this obvious problem she had, I'm guessing it was because she didn't want to shut down the facility for a day or so. Instead she got traps for her EMPLOYEES to deal with , since she never wanted to come in and help us out with ratio issues due to being under staffed or fucking rodent traps! She would promise raises once we become qualified but when I became qualified and showed her my transcripts , she didn't give me the raise I deserved. So I've since left this place for a better paying job and a more sanitary work environment that I feel proud to work at, not ashamed! I really hope licensing goes to Kiddies Korner soon and Sanya gets a good dose of the reality she's letting take place at her "greatly reviewed" facility. PLEASE THINK OF YOUR CHILDREN AND THEIR SAFETY !!

  I'm so grateful for Kiddies Korner. I have been bringing my daughter here for several years now and the teachers are so caring. The entire team is such a wonderful group of people. Kiddies Korner is very nurturing, not only do they teach ABCs they also do a lot of arts and crafts with the children. I like the daycare because they seem to have a curriculum. Not only do they have playtime but there is also a learning involved. The staff Ms. Luz, Ms. Mimi, Ms. B, Ms. Sanja are amazing. They are so accommodating to my daughters needs and they truly care about their students. I highly recommend this daycare!

  Amazing daycare that is full with loving and extremely attentive teachers that always kept our girls busy with fun activities and games. Our two girls recently graduated from here starting at 4 months old up until they were 4 and 5 years old. They loved every day at this school and sometimes didn't want to come home! Big thank you to Mrs. Sanya and all the teachers that took such great care of our girls during their time there!!

  If I could Give it 10 stars I would. My Son (4) and my daughter (3) have been going here for a couple of years and this is by far the best and most loving daycare. The teachers (shout out Ms. Alyssa) are nurturing, loving and overall just wonderful, and they make learning fun! My kids love it here. It is comforting knowing when they have to be away from you all day that they're going to people that genuinely care and love your children. Thank you Kiddies Korner and Ms. Sanya for being the best daycare! My kids love you!
