As a first time mother I was very nervous to leave my newborn child with anyone other than…read moreimmediate family..but I had to go back to work! I did an extensive review months before I was due ( even reviewing Yelp reviews!) and came across Learning Jungle- Escondido. I made an appointment and was given a tour by the Center's Director. As soon as I stepped into the facility I was happily greeted by staff. It was so nice to see so many of the children's arts projects, toys, and books around. I was then given complete insight as to what to expect after I dropped my son off. I decided to go with Learning Jungle- Escondido. The day finally came where I had to go back to work- 9 weeks after birth! I brought all the necessary things and was then greeted by Mrs. Mayra. She was so unbelievably kind to me as she could sense I was nervous and sad to leave my son ( I may even have cried!). She gave me a complete run down of what they would do that day and even said she would text me updates and pictures throughout the day. From that day forward I have never felt anything but absolute peace of mind when going to work. Dare I say that I have leaned on Mrs. Mayra a little too much during tough times when trying to adjust to being a new mom and not knowing what to expect or how to remedy colds ( and constipation) with my son. She has been gracious in answering all of my questions during the day and providing me some solutions that have helped immensely. I also want to commend Ms. Brynne who has also been a great caregiver as well. She has been really great with my sons PM care. Its always been nice to be greeted by her smile when I pick my son up, letting me know how he has been that day. Needless to say, here we are and my son just turned 11 months and my son is thriving! Its been so fun to see the daily photos Mrs. Mayra and Ms. Kathy send every day! Sadly, we soon will be relocating due to my work however if I could take Archer's teachers with us i would! It will be an emotional day when we have to leave but I am eternally grateful to have found Learning Jungle-Escondido and I would recommend their care to anyone who is need of honest, safe, and loving care for their child.

I was interested in having my 1 year old come here and was super excited and got a virtual tour…read moreloved it !!! Teachers where so nice and excited loved their schedule also, they were excited and made it seem like we can start tomorrow. Once I brought up the CCTR program ( government funded program) the whole mood shifted all of sudden they didn't have no space until February ( I applied in December) no big deal. When February came they said to check back in the middle of February so I did. Mind you IM CHECKING IN NOT THEM!! I checked in again and then they said they don't have anything all the way until JULY. I definitely feel like if they knew I was gonna pay they would have took us literally the next week, it was very disappointing.

There's a pig that gets walked by a staff member intermittently, turtles you can get up and personal with, chickens, owls, hawks, falcons, snakes, starfish, etc. This is a great venue to take your kids. They have activities such as story time, and they also have an area where you can learn about the natives. There's areas to hike around the beautiful lagoon. You can be a member or take a look for the day for about $15 which is very reasonable. I believe it's worth it. They really maximized the space. It's a wonderful place!

The staff is absolutely committed to ensuring the kids are safe and happy. The atmosphere is positive and upbeat. The rehearsals are well-supervised and the culture is kid appropriate, which we have found is not always the case with local youth theater groups. I've seen measurable growth in my child's skills and her participation has really bolstered her confidence and self-esteem. At this point, we would never go anywhere else. On top of all of this, CSP puts on some fantastic shows. The group really brings out the talent in its kids.

They have developed a love for riding, respect for horses, and self confidence.

All instructors are very hands on and I know my kids are in excellent care at all times. We are forever grateful for the people here who welcomed us onto their farm and into their hearts.
