My 9 year old son attended the summer camp program at Little Pathfinders and had a wonderful time…read more I really appreciated how kind and attentive all of the staff was to him as all of the enrichment activities that were provided everyday. The owner Sandra and admin Genesis were always so kind and helpful when I had any questions. I love the school app that allows to me keep up with all of the activities of the day and see photos of the fun experiences. I also really enjoyed the summer BBQ they put on and it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed having the opportunity be a part of the festivities. The school has a definite community/village vibe which is so welcoming. I would definitely recommend checking out this great school for your younger children for year round infant care/preschool as well as the school age program for vacation programs.

Gosh... where to even start. Honestly, I am very annoyed that since we are moving out of town and I…read morewill have to find a new place for my kid because Little Pathfinders Preschool has been such an amazing place for them to learn and grow. Having worked in public and private education myself, I understand how important school leadership is and I have seen how much that directly translates to the quality and professionalism of the staff and the school. Little Pathfinders Preschool is a place where you can expect the teachers and staff to be kind, supportive, and caring towards your kids and your family and I truly believe it is due to LPP's owner, Sandra's, vision and direction for the school. From the very first time visiting LPP on a school tour, Sandra was very informative and definitely made me and my husband feel more at ease about sending our kiddo to the school. Some things that she said stood out to me, that honestly, I didn't expect to hear on a tour. She made a point to inform us about some of the benefits that is provided to her staff as well as how some of her staff actually followed her over when she decided to open her own school. That information told me two big things which really helped me feel confident in choosing this school: 1) Sandra must be a really great individual because people believed in her and were willing to journey into the unknown with her, opening up a new school and 2) the staff want to be there working at LPP and probably enjoy it. After only 5+ months of attending LPP, it is without a doubt the right choice for my kid. I understand that every kid has their own personalities and challenges so not every kid or family can be a perfect fit to a place so you definitely do need to pick the best place for you and your family. For our kid, Little Pathfinders welcomed them with open arms, bright smiles, and loving hugs. Ms. Laura and Ms. Yasmine have been so incredibly patient and supportive and that allowed my kid to go from a quiet observer to an active participant in such a short amount of time and I am so incredibly grateful. My kid always looks forward to going to school from the very first week and when I come to pick them up, they always have a big ole smile. In the past few months, they would tell me all the things that they did at school the moment we would get into the car which is wild because my kid is only two years old! Sandra and staff have put in a lot of thought and preparation for the activities and curriculum for the students. My kid's teachers will send pictures and have daily updates about eating and diaper changes throughout the day. Communication with the school is very easy and LPP is very transparent and communicative about any issues or concerns that may arise during the day. I also really love how staff at the school that weren't my kid's regular teachers, knew my kid and could tell me about the interactions they had together. Not only are the staff here experts in childcare because they somehow get my kid to nap during the day but they also genuinely know and care for the kids and seem happy to be there. I also really admire the fact that they try to be a very active members in the community of Ramona, from providing services and support to local businesses and community events during their free time, and even offering multiple opportunities for staff and family members of students to connect with the right people in order to advance their own future education. They're here to build a foundation for something truly great. This is the first time sending my kid to school so I don't know if this is a normal thing or not but LPP does a fantastic job and I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you Little Pathfinders Preschool for loving my kid. We will miss LPP so so much!

Everyone is friendly and they have so much fun stuff to do in their playground. I don't even live close by but make the long commute daily because I don't want to move her.

We transferred our son to this location and what a breath of fresh air. Melinda the principal is AMAZING! She genuinely cares about each child enrolled here and their families. I can't sing enough praise about her and her leadership. The admin has also been great and are so on top of everything (Jessica and Angela). Our son was in the infant room and we had NO issues and knew our son was in great care. Even with COVID on the rise, I feel safer than ever sending my son back here. The staff has implemented a lot of protocol to ensure the kids are safe and my son has been so happy playing his his friends again. They have been extremely communicative and adaptable during these times and I know any child walking through that door will be in great hands. Definitely don't think twice about enrolling your child here.

The director was supposed to give me the tour did not show up to the appointment but another staff member was kind enough to step in. They have since decided that they are not opening until 6:30 and are trying to say they told me at my tour but I made sure to confirm this. I show up at 6:30 every morning and they are never ready for children so I am 10-15 minutes behind. It is frustrating that the website still says 6-6 and they get mad at you for being there at 6:30 as if you were inconveniencing them. I talked to the director and she was rude.

We could not have made it through this tough year without Ms. Alma and her staff. I would highly recommend their learning pod program to anyone who needs safe productive childcare.

Extremely disappointed. If you are a parent looking for reliable care for your children, who…read morecommunicates with you and who understands the stress that comes with searching for child care, then I DO NOT recommend this place. They will take your money to add you to an imaginary waitlist, which they will then "pause" without notice and without a refund of your deposit. I paid the waitlist fee of $150 on April 6, 2022 with a projected opening spot of December 2022 for my infant. I inquired numerous times regarding my place on the waitlist, only to be given vague responses such as: 1. "We are still working our way through the waitlist" 2. "We have paused all Poway enrollment at this time, we are hoping to enroll new children very shortly into our center. I will be in touch with you soon once we start to move down the waitlist", and 3. "Once we come across your name on the waitlist and a spot becomes available I will be in touch with you immediately." It's the end of January 2023 and I have yet to hear from them. My family and I waited and waited to hear from them, and were not able asses our childcare options properly due to their lack of communication. At this point, I don't believe there is even a waitlist anymore, and i just lost $150 at no fault of our own. If I had removed myself from the waitlist I would understand not getting a refund, but that is not the case. I'm still here waiting for them to "come across my name." I would not recommend taking the chance. Good luck, parents!
