I recently enrolled my 3 year old son in Little Learners Daycare. I actually located Little Learners via Yelp. I like to research something as much as I can before I schedule an appt. I had been hoping and praying to find a daycare that had later hours since I am a single working mother. It seemed all the other daycares were closed by 5pm. I recently relocated out to the San Diego area and found a job quite quickly but the daycare piece was much more difficult than I expected. After scrolling thru 30 daycares in the list that came up near the zip code I had placed in the drop down I had almost given up hope. Something told me to go one more page. And I did. Lo and behold there was Little Learners Daycare. They have extended hours til 9pm at night and they are open for weekend childcare. It was a Godsend. I could have cried I was so relieved and happy to visually see a possibility. I immediately reviewed their website and sent a message. Even though it was 9 to 10pm at nite I didn't want to lose the opportunity. They responded quite quickly the next day, (even though they were on a scheduled vacation.) They made time for me that Monday.
Well, that Monday arrived and I went and met Mayra, Wil, Mayra's mother who said she loves to also cook for the children homemade meals. And also, the sister as well. They were all warm, welcoming and kind. The place is an in home daycare with a traditional preschool feel. A big backyard with grass, a teeter totter, enclosed trampoline, one of those toddler kid houses. My son went wild in the backyard. He adores being outdoors. She allowed him to enjoy himself while he was within eyesight while I was touring. I was very impressed. Overall, my son has now been there for several weeks and his speech has improved. He is happy when I pick him up and proudly tells me what they did that day and what he learned or who he is now friends with. It has definitely made our relocation more stress free to know he is in loving hands and his growth is a priority at Little Learners. Highly, highly, highly recommend! Oh, and side note: they just made forky from Toy Story 4 this past Friday. My son was actually holding the little clay figure when we went to In N Out that evening and the worker handing us our food and shake squealed in delight and mentioned it to all her coworkers because she just thought it was the coolest. I proudly told her," Yeah, he made it at his daycare." read more
