Schools in Santee, CA

“I had three kids attend the children’s choice in santee and they have had nothing but great things to say about the school and staff. Ms Jazmin, Ms Marie, Ms Maria, Ms Alyssa, Ms Janet, Ms Alex, Ms Merna, Ms Jandark, Ms Ellie, Ms Heather, and Ms Vanessa have all played very important roles in my children life and we are very grateful and appreciative of everyone and everything they have done for the Garrett girl!!”

“My child has been attending this daycare since he was 4 months old and is now 2 years old. From the infant room to his current classroom, all of his teachers have been wonderful! He is learning new things every day, and it has been amazing to watch him grow and develop.

We absolutely love this daycare and recommend it to all of our friends and family with little ones. If you’re looking for a daycare that provides a safe, caring, and educational environment, this is the place. It gives us peace of mind knowing our child is well cared for while we’re at work.

We are so grateful we found Giggles and Smiles and couldn’t be happier with our experience!”

“This place is truly a second home for our child! We love it here and not enough amazing words can go to all the teachers and staff who make the kids feel so loved and welcome through each mile stone.
I would love to give a huge shout out to our teachers in the class Ms. Brandy, Ms. Arman and Ms. Ashley!! Thank you for being so amazing every day with all your lessons, activities and nurturing.”

“Little Learners is run by an incredible group of women whom I had the pleasure of meeting when we first enrolled our son. He has been with this school since he was about a year and a half old, and they have done a remarkable job both caring for him and preparing him for his transition to elementary school.

Their progressive development structure ensured he met key milestones during the critical toddler years, all while keeping learning fun and engaging. He now runs into class every morning with a smile on his face, often forgetting to say goodbye to me on his way in.

What truly sets Little Learners apart is how they meet each child where they are, giving them the space and encouragement to grow at their own pace. They also made a point of partnering with me as a parent, so that any guidance or boundaries we were navigating at home were consistently reinforced in the classroom. Finding a place that genuinely sees your child as part of a village and makes you feel like a true partner in that is rare and invaluable.

The only downside is that Little Learners only goes up to TK, which means we'll soon have to say goodbye. But we are confident our son will be more than prepared for kindergarten, and that's a credit to the wonderful care and dedication of this small but mighty team.”

“I was there for business the company I work for is a flooring company Geary floors and we redo the boys and girls club floor and numerous high schools and colleges and everything throughout Southern California so and Northern California so that's why I was there but the place is really well kept”

“I have had experience with several preschools and daycare centers, and without question, this one stands above the rest. Each time I walk through the doors, I feel the presence and peace of God. There is something truly special about this place.

What sets this preschool apart is its genuine commitment to the children’s growth and development. It is clear that their priority is nurturing young hearts and minds, not maximizing profit. In contrast to previous schools we attended—where classrooms were overcrowded, staff turnover was high, and the environment felt impersonal—this school reflects stability, intention, and heartfelt care.

I am deeply grateful and honored to have my children here. The teachers are compassionate, patient, and sincerely invested in each child’s well-being. It is a blessing to be part of a community that so beautifully reflects faith, excellence, and love.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about KinderCare! It was a big adjustment for my daughter going from being home with me to starting preschool, but the staff showed so much patience and care, helping her feel comfortable, warm up, and eventually adjust to preschool. She absolutely thrived there; every day was full of learning, fun, and care. The teachers are truly amazing! Ms. Becca played such a special role in my daughter’s preschool experience; her patience, kindness, and encouragement made a huge difference in helping her feel comfortable and confident. Along with Ms. Caprese, Ms. Natalie, and the rest of the amazing team, they were so kind and supportive, and really helped her grow both academically and socially. I also want to highlight the assistant director, Ms. Ana, who was always approachable, supportive, and attentive to any concerns we had. Another special thank you to Ms. Maria, who handled food preparation with so much care and diligence because of my daughter’s food allergy. Now that she’s in TK, I can clearly see the benefits of her time at KinderCare; she’s confident, curious, and ready to learn. Her ability to adapt in a new classroom setting is a direct result of the foundation built at KinderCare. Highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a safe and nurturing environment! :)”
