My daughter attended TLC for three years, and during that time, she was cared for in a warm, nurturing, and educational environment. Ms. Caroline is truly kind, compassionate, and dedicated, and her team shares the same commitment to helping children thrive. Thanks to their efforts, my daughter was well-prepared when she started transitional kindergarten (TK). She was already familiar with her ABCs, colors, shapes, and many other foundational skills, which made the transition smooth and stress-free. I'm also incredibly grateful for the friendships we made during our time at TLC. I met amazing fellow parents--some of whom my daughter and I still see and spend time with regularly. Thank you, Ms. Caroline and team--you are truly awesome! I highly recommend TLC to any family looking for a safe, loving, and enriching daycare experience.

Ms. Taylor, Ms. Priscilla and all the teachers do such a great job at making SEA such a special place and learning so much fun . They teach our kids not only academics but also life skills and how to play in a very creative way which is a lot more important at a young age. They make holidays like mothers day, fathers day, Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentines super special and you feel like a big family. All the teachers were good but some were extraordinary Ms. Michelle, Ms. Emily, Ms. Cristy, Ms. Dianne, Mr. Nick, Ms. Myriam, Ms. Parvin whom I call the baby whisperer are all such kind, patient, caring teachers smd caregivers.

The teachers, directors, and support staff love Annie like she' their own and that philosophy is felt to the core.

Beyond that, they've also helped me build my own confidence as a parent, which has only strengthened and supported my connection with Annie. We'll greatly miss SEA and will forever be part of the family. 10/10 recommend!!

I cannot recommend Bright Horizons Tierrasanta highly enough. After coming from a different…read moredaycare, I quickly realized what an exceptional early education center looks like. The difference was evident from the very beginning. From the beautiful, thoughtfully designed classrooms to the clean, organized, and secure environment, every detail reflects how much pride the staff takes in creating a place where children can truly thrive. One of the things I appreciated most was the communication. Whether it was a daily update, a milestone our son reached, or even a minor incident like a bump or scrape, I was notified promptly and always felt informed. The communication between his teachers, the office staff, and myself was outstanding. I never had to wonder what was happening during his day because they made sure I always knew. Bright Horizons is truly a family oriented and family friendly center. Parents are treated as partners, and they do an incredible job keeping families involved. Events, classroom activities, and special celebrations are communicated well in advance, with reminders provided along the way. Nothing ever feels last minute or overwhelming. They make it easy for families to participate, create memories, and feel connected to their child's experience. The office staff is absolutely incredible. They are warm, welcoming, organized, and always willing to help. Every morning started with a smile, and every afternoon ended with someone taking the time to connect with our family. Their support and dedication have made such a positive impact on our experience. I especially want to recognize Ms.Laura. Anytime I had questions about safety policies, procedures, or center protocols, she took the time to answer every question thoroughly and thoughtfully, always putting my mind at ease. As a parent, knowing your concerns are heard and taken seriously means everything. It is also clear how much she values and supports her staff. The positive culture she has created is reflected throughout the entire center, and it is obvious she leads with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Ms. Dru and Ms. Monique have had an immeasurable impact on my boys life. They loved him through his hardest days, celebrated his biggest accomplishments, encouraged his growth, and believed in him every step of the way. Their patience, compassion, and dedication helped shape him into the confident little boy he is today. We will forever be grateful for the love they poured into him. What impressed me just as much was that the care extended beyond his own classroom. Teachers who had never even been his teacher still knew him by name, stopped to ask him about his day, celebrated his successes, and made him feel like he belonged. That doesn't happen by accident, it speaks to the incredible culture Bright Horizons has built. I also had the privilege of being part of the Family Partnership Group (FPG), and it was one of my favorite parts of our experience. It gave parents the opportunity to support the teachers, connect with other families, and contribute to a community that genuinely values partnership. It made us feel like we were more than just enrolled at the center--we were truly part of a family. As our boy gets ready to begin TK, saying goodbye is incredibly bittersweet. Bright Horizons has been such an important part of our lives, and we will truly miss seeing everyone each day. Thank you to Ms. Laura, Ms.Drew, Ms. Monique, the wonderful office staff, and every teacher who made Bright Horizons Tierrasanta feel like a second home. Thank you for loving our son, keeping him safe, helping him grow, and treating our family with such kindness and respect. If you are looking for a center where your child will be safe, genuinely loved, encouraged, and known by name, I can say with complete confidence that Bright Horizons Tierrasanta is that place. Our family will always be grateful for the years and memories we shared there.

My son attended this school for one full year. During the first six months, before Christmas,…read moreeverything went well. We rarely received any negative feedback, and we believed he was adjusting well. Unfortunately, after Christmas, everything changed. We started receiving behavior reports from Ms. Erika almost every other day. Instead of using supportive and encouraging strategies, the discipline methods included having my son sit on the "red chair" for extended periods or taking him to the office to sit alone. In my opinion, these approaches did not help him learn or improve his behavior. Instead, they only made him more frustrated, anxious, and emotionally overwhelmed. It has now been about a month since we left the school, yet my son still talks almost every day about how he felt ignored by Ms. Erika and how she never noticed or acknowledged his good behavior. During the entire second half of the school year, I cannot remember a single time she praised or encouraged him. Every communication we received focused only on what he did wrong. What is even more concerning is that there were two teachers in the classroom. Whenever Ms. Erika was absent, we did not receive behavior reports or complaints. This makes me believe she was simply unable to build a positive relationship with my son. Unfortunately, I also found her communication with us as parents to be cold and unsupportive. Instead of working together to help our child succeed, we often felt judged rather than supported. As a parent, I deeply regret choosing this school because I truly believe this experience negatively affected my son's confidence and emotional well-being. A preschool teacher should make children feel safe, valued, understood, and encouraged--not constantly punished or made to feel like they are a problem. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this school, especially the Apple Orchard classroom with Ms. Erika. I sincerely hope the school administration takes feedback like this seriously and ensures that every child is treated with patience, kindness, and encouragement.

In addition, the staff including Ms. Ursula, Ms. Alyssa, and Ms. Tatina are extremely responsible and do an excellent job managing and organizing everything smoothly. The classroom activities are wonderful: they learn about plant structures, animals, seasons, and so much more. Ms. Heather's enrichment classes (cooking, music, phonics, math, etc.) are a huge hit -- our boys look forward to them every time! During summer, there are so many fun events like Water Day and Petting Zoo that keep the kids excited. The hours are very flexible (7am-6pm) with very few holidays, which is a lifesaver for working parents like us. We also love the app -- it sends daily photos and videos, and we literally live on it!

Over the years, friends who tried other centers would always say, "nothing compares," and we couldn't agree more.

A very unnecessary experience that was just taken place by a extremely unproffesional teacher that just made us go ti inflate her huge useless ego. Shame on you Yogi Patel!

BEWARE! If your child is ever in any danger of abuse and neglect, this facility would rather remove your child than be the mandated reporters they are meant to be. They send nothing but contradictory emails on what is really happening to your child under their care. They are not accommodating to split family homes unless you email the director and haggle her every single week to cooperate with you. You literally have to threaten to call licensing or remind them of your legal rights consistently to get an answer. Our daughter has been sent home with multiple unexplained injuries from this facility without a home incident report or ouch report in site. Her explanations are that she received them at school and at her mom's house and has told her teachers multiple times about the injury but there was no ice offered or care. We are so so sad to post this because of the dark situation going on with our daughter and the only reason this place is getting two stars are because two years ago we had a fantastic experience with Cece, Krista, and the other teachers that actually cared for the children deeply, big surprise, they were fired! another big surprise, the new teachers brought on have little to no experience in the mandated laws of doing observational health checks at the beginning of the day and throughout the day. This school is going downhill by the second and it's so sad that the children are being hurt by it. read more

My son has been going here since he was 8 weeks old and we love it. The teachers are so caring and loving to the children and the classroom setup, especially in the infant rooms, are perfect. The Pre-K rooms are spacious, clean and very organized. He has learned so much since he has been here and you can tell they really give children the one-on-one attention they need. Our favorite teachers are Miss. Jody and Miss Sherilyn but every teacher my child has had over the years have been terrific! Honestly, the main reason I loved this school to start with was because of the home atmosphere, it is very welcoming and I love the mini play town they just opened. My son can't wait to go to school so he can enjoy all the wonderful activities they offer. The full time program runs from 7:00AM to 6:00PM five days a week and they accommodate children as young as 6 weeks old. But get on the waiting list quickly.

We are extremely disappointed with the quality of service at this preschool…read more We wanted to enroll our son at Discovery Isle in Ted Williams, but they didn't immediately have availability. Despite our friends' recommendations against sending our son to this branch, we gave them the benefit of the doubt and decided to temporarily enroll him, with the ultimate goal of transferring him out in a month, which was clearly communicated. My genuine observations are listed below: - While they claim a 1:12 teacher-to-kid ratio for 2-3-year-old toddlers, the ratio is more like 1:24 in the morning when we drop off the kids. - Due to short staffing, the teachers tend to leave some of the kids to cry after their parents leave for elongated periods of time, to the point that some of them turn purple. They are occasionally desperate to the point that they grab other kids' parents' hands to feel supported. - On his very first day, my son got a bruise/scratch on his nose, which took more than a week to heal. When we asked him, he mentioned another kid did this. We reported this to Discovery Isle, and they hand-waved and did absolutely nothing about it. - When I go to pick up my son in the afternoon, he typically sits by the fence, out in the sun, grabbing the pole and crying as if he's been in the jail and hoping I'd come and set him free. And the teachers don't seem to care much. That deeply saddens me. For the record, he's an absolutely social kid and doesn't have any issues making friends and/or socializing with other kids in the neighborhood or at the park. I think something is not quite right with this preschool. - The front desk assistant, Camille, needs improvement in her communication skills, especially in written communication via email. While I'm certain she doesn't have bad intentions, her emails are aggressive to the point that they may be perceived as insulting. She also needs improvement in her mathematical skills. I found multiple errors in the way she calculated tuition/fees, in terms of elementary addition/subtraction. - I requested access to the Tadpoles app. It took Camille two weeks to give me access after having typos in my email address multiple times. Believe it or not, my wife's name is still misspelled there, and they don't seem to have the analytical skills to fix it.

Lots of arts and crafts, too. A great bonus are the regular parents nights out where kids stay at school while you go on a date night! Also, they even had a visit from Santa at Christmas and a fun Halloween party. Definitely would recommend!

KinderCare in Scripps Ranch has been an incredible experience for our family. From the moment I…read moreemailed Celida asking if they had any availability, we were treated with the utmost kindness and professionalism. The friendly staff genuinely care about each child's well-being and development. The facility is clean, safe, and equipped with engaging learning materials that keep the kids excited about coming to daycare every day. Our child has shown remarkable progress in social skills, language, and early academic concepts, all thanks to the dedicated teachers who provide individualized attention and encouragement. I really want to highlight the teachers and staff here because they are what make this location so special. My child spent time in 3 different rooms while at KinderCare and each room had fantastic teachers. So much so, that with each transition my daughter was truly excited to move up. Shout out to the Mobile Infants, Todds, and Twos teams! We are forever grateful for your patience and guidance with our energetic and strong willed kid. Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates and photos of our child's daily activities, which always brings a smile to our faces. The staff's commitment to creating a nurturing and stimulating environment is evident in everything they do, and it's clear they take pride in helping each child thrive. And as a last note, one thing we really valued about this daycare is the cultural diversity of the staff and students. At one point I think my child was in a classroom with several students that spoke a home language other than English. It is so special that the teachers and children bring in their own cultures to share around various holidays. This is a safe place for diverse students and families to shine. We couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll our child at KinderCare Scripps Ranch and highly recommend it to other parents looking for a top-notch daycare that truly prioritizes the growth and happiness of their children.

Lovely Learning Daycare

Teacher Lovely is amazing! I'm currently sending my 15-month-old son here, and the moment I…read morerealized how caring and experienced she is was during drop-off - my son, who usually doesn't go with just anyone, didn't cry at all and happily went with her right away, which made me feel so reassured and trust her even more. She also reminded me to bring diaper cream when she noticed he needed it. It may seem like a small thing, but little details like that really show how detail-oriented and caring she is with my son. She sends frequent updates through the app, which gives me so much peace of mind. The place is also very clean, and there are other teachers/helpers around, so it never feels like there are too many kids for one caregiver. They have a backyard for the kids to play, and the teachers always plan activities that help little ones learn, socialize, and interact with other kids. She even offers weekend care at very reasonable prices, which is so helpful for busy parents like me. My son eats well, naps great, and always seems to have so much fun there. Highly recommend this place!

We've been sending our daughter to this daycare since she was just shy of 6 months old (she's now…read morealmost 9 months), and we couldn't be happier with the care she receives. Mrs. Jatinder is incredibly loving and attentive. It's clear she truly cares about each child - our daughter lights up every time she sees her, which says everything. As first-time parents, we really appreciate how communicative she is. We get regular updates throughout the day through the app, and the added ability to check in on the live camera feed brings us so much peace of mind. The environment is warm, safe, and nurturing - exactly what we were hoping for in a daycare. We feel completely confident leaving our daughter in Mrs. Jatinder's care, and we would absolutely recommend this daycare to any other parents looking for a trusted, caring place for their little ones.
