Kids Academy

We have both our older girls enrolled (and our youngest is on the wait list for 2022!). We waited…read more2.5 years to get into this preschool, and it was worth every minute of the wait. Caring teachers, clean environments, fun kids, loving program with a Sunday School-vibe. Ms. Parker runs an excellent program and is very understanding, flexible and communicative. Even through the throes of COVID, they did an EXCELLENT job. We love the purple room (Ms. Johnston and Ms Leverett) and the yellow room (Ms. McHenry and Ms. Brown), and the girls know all the teachers from the other classrooms as well. The girls asked to be dropped off early and picked up "as late as we can". I have never heard them say that before!! The playground and classrooms are kept neat and clean (my hubby was impressed with the clean smell and feel right away!). The kids are learning so much! We get an annual assessment sent home with an outline of their learning and it amazes me! Our oldest will start kindergarten in the fall and she is beyond ready, emotionally, academically and socially. Our only wish is that they offered a K-12 grade option, we would sign up tomorrow!!!

Everyone from the director to the teachers was extremely kind and made a ton of effort for a positive experience. I loved the layout with simple outdoor access from all the classrooms and two large playground areas immediately outside that the classes would alternate between daily. My daughter loved the activities they administered. Cost was very competitive compared to other preschool options. Only one suggestion for improvement. Our daughter came home sick ALOT from other parents sending their sick kids to school. We readily complied with mask requirements when dropping off and picking up in the interest of minimizing sickness risk to others during COVID times, and also kept our own child home when sick, but felt that better enforcement of health standards across the board would have been more in the spirit of respect for others that we and several other families approached things. All in all though, it was an overwhelmingly positive experience. I can see why we had to wait on a waitlist for over 2 and a half years to get her in here. It's a fantastic preschool and I highly recommend it.

We moved from a…read moredifferent city and the staff was great with communication and accommodating to our needs (touring, scheduling, etc). After starting school, she has thrived in creativity and self-initiative - she has a lot of fun with all of the art projects in Mrs. Allen & Mrs. Tanya's class and has taken those skills to do even more independent crafting/activities at home. She tells us about how she enjoys her time with classmates and we're thankful that they're all kind & respectful to each other. She's enjoyed it so much that we are keeping her for a summer session + an additional year instead of starting TK. The freedom to create & play, attentive care and communication of the teachers and staff, and flexibility of the schedule have made all the difference!

The teachers and staff are…read moreso caring and dedicated, the school is clean and well-kept, and the play areas are safe, mostly shaded (very important!!) and spacious! They have so many activities planned that both my daughters loved coming here and it was always hard getting them to leave at pick up time:) They would always be so busy drawing, painting, playing dress-up, puzzles, blocks, games, or interacting with other children at the sandbox (my little one's favorite spot). She is now on her last months at this preschool. She will be starting kinder in the fall and it's a bittersweet feeling to have to say goodbye to this place. We love St. Mark's School, the staff, and all the wonderful work they do with the children.

In pre-school he is learning various topics during any given month and it is posted and shared with parents. I feel like socially he has grown a lot in the last few months and he rally likes his teachers and new "buddies". There is a open door policy here and everyone (including administration) is very engaged in making sure the children are getting the best experiences. I am really enjoying the experience and if it is any testament I went to this school 36 years ago along with my brother when we were toddlers and my mother who is a 1st grade teacher (36 years) really wanted my son here because of the environment and curriculum. A great choice if you are looking around :)

It is clear that Adam and Laura do not just run a daycare, they provide a high-quality preschool experience in a warm, nurturing home environment. As an educator myself, I truly appreciate the classroom setup and the weekly activities provided. It is clear that the children participate in thoughtfully planned experiences that encourage learning through play, exploration, and social interaction. Our son loved attending The Sprout House for nearly 3 years. While we are sad to see him leave, he is thriving and well-prepared for TK thanks to Adam and Laura. We will always be grateful for everything they have done, and I recommend The Sprout House without hesitation.

My daughter started at SH when she was 2.5 yo and graduated when she was ready to go to UTK. During…read moreher time, she has grown and learned so much as well as making a lot of friends. SH is outstanding and very different from other home daycares in the SD area while still being affordable. Laura and Adam are excellent teachers. Laura always prepares weekly lessons for class, with some weeks learning about the rainforest, castles & knights, the 5 senses and feelings etc. The kids would also have craft projects for each week based on the topic of the week. Each month, my daughter also learned a new letter and how to write it. There are so many more... One of the highlights for my daughter is friendships. She made her first best friend there and all the other kids and their parents are super nice and open as well. We could easily talk to other parents during the pickup and chat about their experiences. The kids went to each other's birthday parties and shared many experiences. I am very happy with my daughter's time here and would strongly recommend SH to other parents.

Very often I find Reggio inspired schools are founded on aesthetics vs. education in San Diego, that is not the case here. The staff and director truly care about Reggio principles and bringing its curriculum to our community. The staff are always friendly and focused with the parents and kiddos which I really appreciate, they have really good energy when working with the kids, you can tell they have a real passion! They're also very involved which I like, they want the parents to be active participants in their kids education. One huge reason I love this place is because they teach developmentally appropriate curriculum that emphasizes social skills and emotional literacy, which is what our kiddos really need to be learning at this age. Overall you can tell that the curriculum is geared on child development research, something I think really sets them apart from other facilities I've been to. I also have to give a shout out to the teachers for teaching Spanish in class! I've been able to talk to my nanny kids in Spanish a lot lately because they have been doing Spanish lessons in class. The classrooms are always really clean, and the director has been working on making the space super child-led and really beautiful, the playground outside is really fun for the kids after pickup! I'm just so happy that a locally owned Reggio led school is in San Diego, I really hope more parents are able to pay a visit and see what a true Reggio inspired curriculum could look like for their kids.

I am amazed by Simone, Destiny, and Leslie and their dedication to coming up with new interesting and educational activities everyday.

We also get regular photos of all of the cool things the kids are doing. The facility is beautiful and spotless and they have really wonderful hygiene policies that have resulted in a lot fewer sicknesses than our last preschool. We absolutely love Ekobé and the community of the school. Highly recommend!

Lil'Hearts Daycare

Cica is a gem! If you have the privilege of sending your child here, have no doubt that your baby…read morewill be in incredible hands. Cica was a gift to our family as first-time parents with no family in San Diego. Our son thrived in her care. She made and offered wonderful homemade meals and healthy snacks. She believes in play-based learning and Montessori style. She facilitates the most creative and amazing activities with the kids. She is clean and no one wears shoes in the house. She is such a positive person and bright light. She has remarkable esthetics. Not to mention, her family who support the daycare, are also such wonderful human beings. My family and I moved back East to be closer to family -- but we were incredibly sad (heartbroken!) to lose her as a caretaker. We love Cica so much. She is irreplaceable.

So, when two families we know very well highly recommended Cica and Lil' Hearts Daycare after their 4 children loved going there, my wife and I didn't hesitate to call her up. And after almost 2 years of having our son attend Lil' Hearts, we can say WITHOUT A DOUBT that every glowing compliment we ever heard about Cica and her daycare was exactly spot on. I'm serious when I say this, Cica is like Mary Poppins, but instead of a British accent, she has a Brazilian one. She has a way with kids you have to see to believe. She is one of the most loving, sweet, reliable, and nurturing people we know. As if that wasn't enough, her husband and two amazing children (both 11+ years old) are also there to lend a helping hand. All the kids in Cica's care are so happy and know they are loved. They also learn so much from all the different activities and crafts they do each day. For those familiar with the Montessori schools, she is well versed in those programs and incorporates a lot of their methods of education. Your child will also learn good manners, creativity with art and music, and how to help, share, and interact with other kids. As for meals, she prepares everything daily from fresh fruit to chicken or spaghetti and includes snacks your kids will love. And you'll know exactly what is going on because Cica emails a child summary every day from what they ate to their activities, potty counts, nap times, mood, anything else worth noting, PLUS PHOTOS! She also goes over a lot of it during pickups and answers any questions you may have. But you don't have to wait for pickups or drop offs, she's always a text or call away. And if you're like me, you appreciate when someone is always prompt with a response and she's one of the best. Lil' Hearts also celebrates every child's birthday and provides parents with Date Nights throughout the year. Oh, and the graduation ceremony they hold when a child is ready to move on to preschool is such a memorable experience. Forewarning, it can get a little emotional, especially for those parents with graduating kids. Anyway, I can't say enough good things about Lil' Hearts Daycare. We feel truly blessed and lucky to have Cica and her family caring for our little one each day and couldn't imagine him being anywhere else. So, with all that being said, if you ever get the opportunity to take your child to Lil' Hearts Daycare, don't hesitate because you AND your child will be very happy you did!

After spending the past year with Kids Academy, we are very sad to leave. Carrie & Sean exceeded all expectations that I could have ever had for my daughters care and I am truly saddened to leave. If you enroll your child in kids academy you will know: -Your child is safe -You will know every move your child makes through out the day as Kids Academy has a very simple and user friendly application allowing parents to check in and see how your child is doing. -Your child will progress intellectually, socially and physically extremely quickly. Kids Academy is so much more than just a "daycare" Sean and Carrie really do care about child development and it showed with our daughter. -Above all, your child will be watched by two truly amazing people, who will care for your child in the same way you do.

They take great care of our baby and always create a warm and loving environment. We really appreciate their communication -- they provide daily updates and photos, which allow us to see what he is learning and how he is doing throughout the day. The classroom is spacious, clean, and well organized, and the outdoor playground is a wonderful space for children to explore, play, and develop new skills. The teachers plan many fun and educational activities, including singing, dancing, drawing, and other hands-on activities that help children learn and grow. They have also helped our baby build daily routines and become more independent. When our baby first started daycare, he had a hard time adjusting and often looked for comfort from the teachers by asking to be held. The teachers were always so patient and loving -- they would pick him up, comfort him, and provide the sense of security he needed while he was getting used to his new environment. They were also very understanding when he had difficulty sleeping on the toddler nap cot. Instead of forcing him to adjust right away, they first allowed him to nap in the infant classroom crib where he felt comfortable, and then gradually helped him transition to the toddler nap cot. Their patience, flexibility, and support made a huge difference. It has been wonderful to see his growth -- from struggling with daycare at the beginning to now happily walking into school every morning and coming home with a smile. We are truly grateful to have such loving teachers who care about our child's development and happiness.
