Ms. Aurora gives you the highest quality care in the infant class, Ms. Mystik & Ms. Bella are the best duo which made learning fun for her everyday, & Ms. Drea is the most sweetest caring person that will treat yours like her own. They provide homemade meals on site, host cute holiday/family events, field trips & have picture days!

She is now going into her third year, starting the TK program, and every single day she is excited to go to school. This is a true Montessori environment where children learn through hands-on exploration, independence, and respect for one another. The teachers and staff are incredibly nurturing and patient--they genuinely care about every child and create such a safe and welcoming space. You can tell that the kids truly love being there; the classrooms are always full of joy, curiosity, and kindness. We've seen so much growth in our daughter--academically, socially, and emotionally--since she started here. She has gained confidence, a love of learning, and friendships that mean so much to her. Royal Montessori School of Oceanside has been such a wonderful place for our family, and we feel so lucky to be part of this community. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a thoughtful, caring, and high-quality Montessori program!

I'm sure it's partially developmental but it's also because of the learning environment of RMSO. We love and highly recommend the school for you infant through TKer!

He has grown so much since starting here. He was originally in Ms. Jordan and Ms. Maribel's class and was absolutely thriving! As he's gotten older, he's moved into Ms. Brandi and Ms. Sarah's class, and they are both wonderful teachers as well! The entire staff at the center is so caring, attentive, and loving toward him. All of the staff we've interacted with have been incredible, and it means so much that everyone knows him by name. They were also so helpful as we transitioned him to daycare full time and helped him adjust and feel comfortable so quickly. We truly feel like he is cared for, supported, and loved here, and we couldn't be happier with the experience we've had at TLE!

We have nothing but good things to say about TLE Oceanside. Our son started in May of 2025 as a 3…read moreyear old who had only been with family prior to and was expecting a little brother in June of 2025. The staff was so welcoming during our tour, they made us feel at home. Since, we have developed some amazing relationships with everyone! They have been flexible with our schedule changes. You do not have to fit into a cookie cutter schedule, ours went from M, Th, F to 5 days a week. They have early drop off (at 7AM) and pick up as late at 6PM! There was a leadership change recently and the staff handled it amazingly. The New Director, Ms. Suzette, is so on top of it, she is super approachable, gives us multiple notices about upcoming events so we don't miss out and has even started a Teacher of the Month program. For a group of people who already had great morale, she has made the team even stronger! Our son is very kind and somewhat timid when you first meet him. Ms. Kylee has made him feel confident and comfortable trying and doing new things. Watching him grow in her class has been amazing! He has come home using sign language, singing songs, teaching us how to do yoga and so much more. She even helped us on his potty training journey! When we do things as a family on the weekend, he always says he wants to tell Ms. Kylee when he goes back to school "tomorrow". Even the owner, Ms. Segal, has taken the time to get to know us and has really helped us get comfortable quickly. As a busy mom herself, she has so much patience and understanding when it comes to making sure our babies are taken care of. When choosing a school, we read reviews. TLE was regarded as family friendly and I couldn't agree more! They hold multiple family activities throughout the year from Ice Cream Socials to Foam Day to Trunk of Treat to Ornament Decorating.. I honestly feel we are getting what we pay for and that means something these days!

When I first went back to work, my daughter was only 9 months old. Like many of you, I found out…read morequickly that most daycares only start at 1 year old, and spots were hard to come by. Out of desperation, I pounced on the first opening I found at KinderCare. I'll forever regret that decision. The assistant director even told me, "KinderCare isn't known for those crazy child abuse stories." And I believed her, without doing my own research. A simple search would have proven her wrong before I signed my daughter up. From the start, it was obvious my baby hated being there -- and it wasn't just separation from me. The staff seemed burned out, and my little girl was left to cry alone in corners. She would scream in relief when I picked her up, and she gave me that heartbreaking "mommy, where were you?" look. She came home with marks on her multiple times. Every time I asked, I got the same runaround: "no one saw what happened" or "another child pushed her." The worst was when I noticed her pacifier clipped awkwardly in the center of her chest. Later, during bath time, I found a bruise in the exact spot. When I called, the story shifted again -- from "no one knows" to "another child pushed her that morning." I knew in my heart it was more than that. The thought of an adult being frustrated and snapping the clip onto her chest still breaks me. I pulled her out after just three weeks -- three weeks too long. She's at a new center now, and the difference is night and day. She's happy to go to school, and of course happy to see me at pick-up, but not with that same fear and sadness in her eyes. Listen to your children, because they do in-fact communicate with you

I strongly encourage you to look up poinsettia kinder care on the California licensing website ccld.ca.gov. Don't just take my word for it, look at their evaluations from California licensing for yourself. They have TWO type A citations and SIX type B citations that they have been cited for. A type A citation is deemed as something that the state has deemed is an IMMEDIATE threat to your child's health and safety. Don't make the same mistake I did, save you and your child the heartache, and take them to a more reputable daycare.

Also the app with pictures throughout the day helped us feel connected to our kiddo while we were at work. All in all we have nothing but great things to say about KinderCare Poinsettia.
