“We are so beyond happy with our experience at Discoveries! The staff are like family to us and we trust them fully with our two boys. We’ve now been there for 2.5 years and are familiar with all of the teachers and can say for certain that they go above and beyond. I think it’s rare to find a school where everyone feels like family, yet you still have the structure, support, professionalism, and expertise of a well oiled machine. It goes without saying that our boys love it and are there M-F half days. Highly recommend!!”

“Child's Play is truly a hidden gem. We're on our 2nd child growing up in this wonderful little space. There is a big focus on outside play and creative arts/crafts and cooking (pre-Covid) that our eldest son really enjoyed and thrived within to include weekly art and dance classes for the kids. The teachers really encourage independence and creativity within the confines of a group setting of children that really learn the important early lessons of respect and appreciation for one another. Our oldest son was wonderfully prepared and ahead of kids at the Kindergarten level entering pre-K and knew how to read/write his name, count and do simple math in this program that carved out a "K-class" for the older elementary school transitioning kids. Donna, Daniel, Laurel and Lindsey are wonderful teachers and I would HIGHLY recommend this program for any parent looking for well rounded loving learning environment for their little.”

“Our daughter started at Cliff Drive Care Center when she was 2 and is finishing up now, three years later, to go to kindergarten. She’s been with three different teachers at three different ages, and each one of them has been so caring, supportive, and incredible. We were so lucky to find this place. Thank you Norma, Kolap, Lily, and all of the other amazing teachers here!”

“This school is literally the best and I'm so thankful for the years that my children got to spend there. It's so hard to move onto Kindergarten because nothing compares to their time here. Mary Lopez is an amazing director and the families and teachers are so involved in making the experience amazing for the children and their families. COVID has made this a challenging year and they managed to keep their doors open and make it a safe and comfortable environment for the kids while maintaining normalcy and fun so that the children weren't affected. I can't say enough about this school... from family drive in movie nights to carnivals and special family activities, it's literally the best. I highly recommend it to anyone with preschool aged kids and be sure to get on their waitlist early because it fills fast!”

“My 5 months old thrived at H4K La Cumbre. He would still be attending if we had not moved. Ms. Natalie, Ms. Marlene, and Ms. Marina felt like family. They helped my son learn how to sit independently, did lots of sensory play and art, and helped me get him on a solid napping schedule. You can see how much they love their jobs.Doing mostly nursing at home, they helped my son transition to purées. I miss H4K.”

“Attending San Marcos was an incredible experience for my siblings and me (Classes of 2014, 2019, and 2023). The teachers' dedication and passion created an engaging, but also comforting and safe learning environment. They went above and beyond to ensure our success and made even the most challenging topics accessible. Their personalized attention and tailored teaching methods helped us grow academically. The extracurricular activities such as sports and clubs offered something for everyone and created a sense of belonging.SM also embraced diversity and created an inclusive community; I made lifelong friends from different backgrounds, expanding my horizons and learning from different perspectives. I'm very grateful to the teachers and staff for their dedication, enthusiasm, and support, especially to my French teacher Mrs. Cummings if you're out there reading this. If you're looking for a school that provides an excellent education while also creating an environment for personal growth and lasting memories, I 110% recommend San Marcos!!”
