In our 2 years there, we watched our son grow immensely in his confidence, relationships, and overall love of learning. He was sad to leave school every day and excited to wake up and start the day with his amazing friends and teachers. The approach and philosophy that Fleur de Lis takes truly allows each child to blossom in their own unique and beautiful way and we not only got to experience this with our son, but saw it with his classmates as well. We saw our son make presentations to his class about a science or art project he did with us at home or proudly present his show and tell Spider-man toy to his classmates - we are so grateful to the entire Fleur de Lis community for encouraging this level of self-esteem and individuality.  The staff at Fleur de Lis is truly one of a kind -  the professional, yet individualized attention of Tina Smith and April Kozelh as directors is amazing. They know your child personally and do everything in their power to make your child's experience at Fleur de Lis enriching and creative. Our son still talks about Ms. Tina coming into their classroom and reading them special books (his favorite was about an owl in NYC) and Tina consistently shared specific memories of our son's social and emotional growth during his time there. The teachers we had at Fleur de Lis (Ms. Sandy, Ms. Chelsea, Ms. Amber, Ms. Kiara and Ms. Diana for Spanish) were incredible in every way - we appreciated the attention to the holistic needs of each child - the cognitive, physical, and emotional were all given attention and we saw our son blossom in each area. The day our son "graduated" Fleur de Lis School was a bittersweet one - we were thrilled to know he was ready for kindergarten, but also so sad to say goodbye to the daily moments of this special community. Our son couldn't stop hugging his amazing teacher Ms. Sandy at the singing show - clearly showing the same emotions we felt as parents.

I remember my son, Julian, sobbing when I left him on his first day as a two year old, and my heart was breaking. In less than a week, he was all smiles at drop off, excited to see his teachers and friends. Since then, he's thrived at this school, both emotionally and educationally. Now, two years later, he's heading to Francis Parker, and looking back on his time at FDL, I can't express how grateful I am to the amazing team there. There are a few specifics that make FDL special: The community -- everyone at FDL knows Julian's name, even teachers who aren't assigned to his class. Pre-Covid, when I would pick him up from his classroom, his daily departure was like a little parade, with waves and goodbyes to friends, teachers, directors, everyone. You really feel like part of a family here. Kira, Bev, April, Julie, Julia, Diana, Iris, Nina, Autumn, and many others...each has been a unique and positive impact on Julian and our family over the past two years. The safety -- speaking of Covid, I don't think I appreciated how nice it is to have total confidence in the efforts of the FDL team to keep my child safe at all costs until this pandemic. When they reopened under new safety guidelines, I never once worried they would slack or not keep the sanitation and safety bar high. In fact, Julian now inspects my hand washing and admonishes me if I have not made enough soap bubbles or washed long enough . They always ran a tight ship, but it's exceptional now. The positive reinforcement of high expectations -- on my visit prior to enrolling at FDL, I saw all the kids eating lunch as they chattered politely and consistently used manners. On the playground, no one pushed. They all took turns. What's more, they were still incredibly joyous little kids, giggling and delighting in silly play. I was in awe. And yet, now Julian models those same behaviors. FDL teachers are kind and warm, but firm. They set a high bar, and the kids rise to meet it. At the same time, there is tremendous fun had on the daily at this school. Julian greets me at pick up with a big smile and a hug, his cheeks flushed from play and sand in his shoes. He excitedly shows me his projects and tells me funny stories and things he learned from the day. FDL is exceptional. If you have the chance to send your child there, take it. You would be hard pressed to find a more loving and capable setting. We will miss it terribly!

Our toddler takes a while warming up to new places and people, and we knew (or I mean, she knew!) immediately this was the place for her when she darted outside. The indoor / outdoor access that every classroom has is awesome; the intentional curation of the spaces operate as another educator to explore and inspire. You can feel how much the teachers genuinely love what they do; their care and dedication are clear in every interaction with the kids and the stories they tell when we pick them up. When I was first researching preschools, I was excited that there was a co-op option in SD and wondered how it might fit with my schedule. After touring and learning more about the school, meeting Stephanie and the amazing teachers / staff, it was an easy decision. They have an open door policy and the hours are flexible for parents. The co-op model has taught us so much, allowing us to learn and grow together with our kids, both modeling and providing tools for connecting with them to be their whole, individual self through play.

There are co-op requirements where parents/other adults have to volunteer at the school on a regular basis, which can be difficult for some families. Only downside is a long wait list to get in.

Ms. Anne-Laure, Ms. Jessica, and Ms. Claire have created a truly wonderful place for kids. Ms. Lea, together with Ms. Laure, have put in enormous effort to help our daughter build on her strengths while also supporting areas where she needed improvement. In kindergarten, she received individualized learning tasks and weekly plans tailored to her development. Over the course of a year, she learned to write in both print and cursive, mastered math concepts at a second-grade level, and even learned to read in French--despite not being a native speaker. She now understands French pretty well. What really stands out is the balance between academics and creativity. The children are regularly engaged in arts, crafts, and hands-on activities that encourage imagination and self-expression, so it never feels overly rigid or purely academic. Beyond academics, the growth in her confidence, social skills, and emotional well-being has been incredible. Before attending ACDL, she struggled with going to preschool. Here, she became excited to go every day to see her friends and truly feels like part of a community. We also really appreciate that the school has a garden and that the children spend a lot of time outdoors. The healthy lunches and snacks have been a big plus as well--our daughter, who used to be a very picky eater, has become much more open to trying new foods. The after-school programs are also great. Our daughter attended a science class and absolutely loved it. It was a fun way to introduce her to new concepts while also strengthening her French, since most activities are conducted in the language. Overall, the combination of education, care, creativity, and community has been wonderful for our daughter. We're genuinely sad that she's finishing kindergarten and won't be continuing at ACDL--we will really miss it. If you're looking for a French immersion preschool - or any preschool where your child can thrive - this is truly a special place.

We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to send both of our daughters here for preschool. They received such a brilliant, positive start to their educational journeys here, and our whole family has made wonderful friendships and connections in the process. From the moment we descended the staircase to begin our tour of the school, we knew immediately that this was the place for our girls. The campus is a celebration of color, art, nature, creativity, kindness, and joy. The children are happy and engaged. The student/teacher ratio is exactly where it should be. The leadership team is exceptional and responsive; the teachers are kind, professional, creative and incredibly good at what they do; the classrooms are pristine and inspiring; the curriculum is top notch; the chef-prepared meals and school uniforms make life so much easier for busy families; and there are so many fun extras sprinkled in throughout the school year (i.e. theme days, performances, after school activities, parents' night out, etc). OH, and hearing your kids speak BEAUTIFUL French when no one in your family speaks any French at all, is just unreal. We are hyper-protective of our kids and we felt completely safe and secure sending our girls here. We trusted the leadership and the teachers completely with their physical and emotional wellbeing, as well as their education. Our girls are continuing their French education at the Language Academy of San Diego, where they arrived exceptionally prepared academically, socially, and emotionally. We'll always cherish the memories and relationships we made here, and you will too!

The school was good with communication, they have cute performances for families throughout the year, and you can tell all the teachers are genuinely invested in the kids.

They had a lot of volunteer opportunities and there were a few of parent led events each year so I thought that was really neat. This school would have been more fun if it weren't for COVID. During normal times, they had school performances in the spring and early December that they rehearse for. We moved to Santee and since I work from home, going to this school became a hardship. We were sad to leave but my daughter will always have great memories of this place.

That's when we found Green Beans Preschool, and looking back now, I can honestly say it was one of the biggest blessings of this past year. From day one, Green Beans didn't just meet our needs--they exceeded them in every way. They welcomed us with open arms, showing an incredible level of adaptability and understanding for our unique situation. As a dad adjusting to a new chapter in life, it gave me such peace of mind to know that our child was in a place that felt more like a friend's home than an institution. The location, tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac, made drop-offs and pick-ups feel relaxed and personal. It was always so easy--no chaos, no stress--just a calm, friendly start and end to the day. Every time I left, I knew our little one was in the best hands possible. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. Louise, the owner, sets the tone for everything. She is incredibly organized, approachable, and down-to-earth. She's built something really special at Green Beans--a warm, family-like atmosphere filled with kindness, structure, and genuine care. The staff reflects her values in every interaction. Our child thrived there, and we saw firsthand how much love and effort goes into every part of their day. After more than a year on the military daycare waitlist, we finally got a spot--which brings our time at Green Beans to a close. It's a bittersweet goodbye. While we're grateful for the next step, we'll deeply miss the people and place that supported us so fully this past year. To Louise and the entire team at Green Beans: thank you. You've made a lasting impact on our family, and we'll always carry that with us.
