We have had the privilege of sending both our sons to preschool at Newbreak, and they have flourished! Newbreak is a positive environment encouraging kids to explore, grow at their own pace, learn to love others and love Jesus. The staff is kind, loving, patient, and thoughtful about the activities and materials they use. Our kids have been well-loved and shepherded. Can’t recommend enough!

Our three-year-old has been at Newbreak Playschool for about a year now, and we could not be more thrilled with our experience there! The teachers and staff are so warm, loving and kind. He is a bit of a wild child and can be a handful sometimes and they all take it in stride, laughing at his antics and saying how much they love him. All the play at the school is child led, so the kids get to decide which toys/areas they want to play with so each child’s individual likes and needs can be nurtured.It’s always a tough decision to send your child to daycare or pre-school, knowing they won’t be with you all day. I would highly recommend Newbreak to anyone if they are looking for a wonderful, loving environment where you feel comfortable and happy knowing how much fun and love your child is getting each day.

I highly recommend Newbreak Playschool OB if you are looking for a play based care center. They certainly sprinkle in faith based lessons in a fun & creative way. I have experienced everything you can think of with this school… pre & post covid. It most definitely checks all the boxes!

Newbreak Playschool has been wonderful for my 4 year old. He has been attending for over 2 years now. My son loves his time there - loves his friends and teachers. He asks me if he can stay longer so he has more time to play. He comes homes with little pearls of wisdom from his teacher Miss Hannah. Lots of art and hands on activities. Thea has been great at communicating through out the last 2 years which I can only imagine was quite a challenge. they are flexible and so helpful to this working parent. We have had a really great experience at Newbreak.

My child has really blossomed thanks to the wonderful teachers and staff at Newbreak. I could not be more appreciative and thankful for our time at Newbreak. He attends the 2-3 year old class. Everyone is always kind and the kids have a great experience.

I love this school! All of the teachers are amazing and the director Thea truly loves all of the staff and all of the families. Thea is amazing!!! I know my children are safe and are having fun and best of all they are learning all about God's love! My daughter is in Kelly's class and she loves her teacher so much. She tells me all about the great things she does throughout the day. Just yesterday she was sitting in the car singing I've got the joy joy joy down in my heart, she said Ms. Kelly taught me that. I can't say anymore amazing things about this school!

My child has attended Newbreak Playschool for two years and I could not be more pleased with my child's growth and development! When others ask how I feel about the school, I honestly tell them that I feel like I'm giving my child vegetables by sending them to Newbreak - by that I mean I truly feel confident about the attention, treatment, care, and consideration from the staff on my child's development. I praise all the teachers at Newbreak for their patience and attention to my child and the others. Thank you Ms. Thea for all that you have done for us and the others while my child attends your school. Ms. Kelly, thank you for keeping me abreast about my child's behavior so that I may provide consistency with behavior response at home. Ms. Kelly, you are bigger than Elsa in our home and my child positively raves about you morning, noon, and night!Yes, I recommend this Preschool.

Simply fantastic facility and staff. I am proud to trust them with our son!! If anyone is looking for a structured play environment in Point Loma / OB, I can't recommend this highly enough.

Edit: to those of you reacting 'funny' to this comment about my child being bullied, you should be ashamed. Not one thing about that is 'funny' I'll pray for you though. Review: Only giving one star because I have to. This place is horrendous. They WILL sweep bullying under the rug and will NOT confront the issue or even bring it to the other families attention. Do not send your children here, especially if you want them to be looked after because they often leave children unattended and will dismiss anything you ask them/tell them about and not even try to resolve the issue. I'm appalled at the demeanor of this place and sad for the children that have to experience neglect at the hands of someone who is supposed to have their best interest at heart. I personally pulled my child out of this place last year and would NEVER send him back even if my life depended on it. Shame on you people.

2 Year old teacher (Hannah) is great with kids. The director (Thea) & 4-year old teacher (Kelly) do not create a safe place for kids to learn.I reported that children were bullying my son on multiple occasions (severe bullying), which escalated into them touching him sexually. The school gaslit repeatedly saying they didn't witness anything & so they cant substantiate the claims. But they never brought in someone who knows what to look for to observe, or to hear from us on what we were reporting. The details and scenarios were not something that could be manufactured, and the director acknowledged that the girls who were to blame were ongoing trouble for the teacher & had new babies at home. Which is an important note because they forced my son to do things (or did things to him) that were all related to playing house, breastfeeding, and "making babies".The director told us the teacher struggles to manage her classroom, she tends to act like their friend instead of the teacher, and that she gets wrapped up with one kid and misses what is happening for the rest of the class. (The director's message to us, not ours.) I watched over the play yard fence and saw first hand how these specific girls were physically hurting their peers and the teacher didn't even see because she was in a different area across the yard.My son's body and boundaries were violated multiple times, which we shared with the therapist we now have to see. (He is 4.) The director Thea asked us to let her know if anything else happens.. so when we emailed saying that the girl tried to pull down his pants under the guise of playing house when the teacher was taking another student to the bathroom, THE SCHOOL KICKED US OUT. For reporting. No meeting to hear the details or discuss the circumstances. I am concerned for the wellbeing of the children who are still in the class, as well as the girls who continued to target my son. When I asked the director to make sure nothing was happening to them at home, the director shrugged and said "oh no, i know their families." Again, dismissing a potentially very harmful situation.Update: we have learned through therapy that horrific sexual violence was done to my son while in the care of Newbreak Playschool. (Worse than I was aware of when i posted originally.) Repeated behaviors, not things that happen in a split second, AND that the teacher continued to put my son next to the child who was sexually assaulting my kid during naps, bathroom breaks, and outside play. Even after our therapist told the director they needed to be separated for my son's safety.

We love this school!! I searched for almost a year to find a place I felt comfortable leaving my child which was still affordable. This place was a godsend. All the teachers are so sweet and caring. They are very flexible with my hectic/unpredictable work schedule, and my daughter has learned so much!
