Safety is a top priority at this camp. All children are supervised by CPR certified counselors. A nurse is available at the JCC office. We've experienced other camps in previous years. Camp Jaycee is the best in the San Diego area.

The food is AMAZING, we love all the cooks, and they feed us very well all weekend! My favorite part was the last day of camp when they did a bbq and the parents came for pick up. The staff is always very enthusiastic and excited to share their love for camp surf! I've met some pretty awesome people, people from Spain and Australia and all over the states!

Nightingale Music is a play-based, child-focused early music education series, whose quality and…read moreconsistency are unmatched in San Diego County. The classes are held in a colorful, carpeted studio and led by warm and welcoming teachers, many of whom have some form of early education training or experience teaching or working with children in their fulltime jobs. The program at Nightingale has been running for over 20 years, and Jennifer has it dialed to perfection. Each 8-week session has its own theme ("Hooray for the Holidays"; "Mother Goose Rock & Rhyme"; "Wonderful World of Music" to name a few) and its own theme-related songs, but the rhythm of the classes is consistent from week to week and session to session, providing an ideal environment for this tender age whose brains thrive on routine. The school also has an incredibly generous makeup policy to allow for any planned family vacations or unplanned family illnesses, and visiting family members and friends are always welcomed to watch or participate in class. My daughter attended her first Nightingale Music session when she was just 7 months old, and has been consistently enrolled since she was about 14 months. Now at two and a half, she can sing her solfege scale on pitch, and understands the fundamentals of rhythm, tempo, and dynamics. She stops and dances whenever we hear music out in the world (or asks me to play music on my phone so she can dance in our backyard), and sings constantly. She's made friends with some of the other kids in her cohort, imprinted onto a few of her teachers, and Jennifer has made us feel like part of a larger Nightingale family from the very start. As a 70% SAHM, I've tried out a lot of Mommy-and-Me type classes around San Diego, but Nightingale is the one that we've stuck with, and the one that I would most recommend.

My son never wanted to engage at any of the other classes, but jumps right in at Toddler Time. He tends to scoff at kid activities and used to beg not to attend other classes, but week after week he's asked to go to Toddler Time. In fact, he asks to go to class when it's not our day for class. We've been going for about 6ish months and it's a bright spot of our week. I'm not sure what we will do when he ages out because he's going to be devastated. But here's the real hack, we recently had Toddler Time come to my son's birthday party and it was the best part of the day. We had kids from age 1 to age 8 and they were all captivated by the activities! It gave the parents time to talk, actually chew our food, and enjoy ourselves. It was incredible. I'm still riding the high from actually being able to sit down and eat my meal in peace while my child happily played nearby. It was worth every penny and more! It feels important to add that Ally made the planning and coordination SO easy. She really knocks it out of the park, every time.

Our 2.5 year old has been going since 16 months and has truly blossomed during his classes. He talks about Teacher Ally and class all week and has never gotten bored with the ever changing lineup.
