This review is LONG overdue for this specific location. We had our son at the other location a few…read moremiles down the road and it was a complete disaster. 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.

Worst experience with the Poway Ted Williams location. We were frequently called to pick up our…read morechild, sometimes simply because he couldn't fall asleep during nap time. This felt excessive and showed very little flexibility or understanding of normal child behavior. There also didn't seem to be much focus on learning or development during his time there. I would strongly encourage other parents to carefully evaluate whether this location is the right fit.

We love Elm Park!!! And my kids have gone to 5 different daycares/preschools…read more Elm Park is a smaller school where all the teachers know our kids regardless of whether they're in their class. It's such a sweet family feel that we love. The curriculum is great, my kids are always coming home telling me what they learned about that day and excited to show me their art. The teachers are so warm and friendly, my kids love them and my son's teacher Miss Ana connects with me often about his day and any concerns that we're partnering together on (because 3 year olds are tough ). I really appreciate that she cares and takes the time to connect with me on things she's noticing and how we can best support him. They also do fun things like pot lucks and even this morning my son woke up and excitedly told me it was potluck day. Can't recommend this school enough!

They are kind, caring, and so dedicated to the children. Our daughter absolutely loves this school and her teachers, and we are so grateful for all the learning, growth, and happy memories she has had here. We highly recommend this preschool and hope to be back in two years when our youngest is old enough to attend!

The Montessori environment is beautiful and thoughtfully prepared, complete with authentic materials and a lovely garden that the children get to enjoy. What makes this school even more extraordinary is the teachers. They genuinely care about each child's growth and take the time to understand and nurture their individual strengths. In just our first year with Ms. Samantha and Ms. Jan, not only has our child grown, but our entire family has learned so much. We are beyond grateful for this community and highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a nurturing, inspiring Montessori experience.

We have absolutely loved our experience at Windmill Montessori Preschool. Our daughter has been…read moreattending since 3years old, and it has truly been such a special part of her early childhood. Miss Samantha and Miss Jan are incredible! They are caring, patient, empathetic, and deeply invested in each child's growth. You can genuinely feel how much they love what they do. They take the time to understand each child individually and create a nurturing environment where kids feel safe, supported, and encouraged to thrive. What we appreciate most is the small, close-knit community. It never feels overwhelming or impersonal -- instead, it feels like family. There is so much support not just for the children, but for parents as well. Communication is thoughtful and consistent, and we've always felt heard and valued. Our daughter has grown in confidence, independence, and kindness during her time here. We are so grateful for the foundation Windmill Montessori has given her. If you are looking for a warm, supportive, and truly caring preschool environment, we cannot recommend Windmill Montessori enough. We are sad to move on to 1st grade without Miss Samantha and Miss Jan this next year but will be so grateful for the skills and confidence we gained to successfully make the new transition.

Hands down the best daycare. My son went here for 3 years. The teachers become more like family…read more You can tell they all want to be there and genuinely enjoy being around children. I couldn't recommend this place more! Pastor Wes is super kind as well. I love that this daycare feels more of a mom and pop instead of a corporation like the big chain centers. You don't feel like your child is just a number. Overall 10/10 experience!!

Best preschool in the area! The staff is friendly, gentle, and well trained. We've been here for…read morenearly two years, and it has been a wonderful experience for our daughter. She loves her teachers and always shares positive stories about her day. When our 4-year-old mentioned a classmate was bothering her, the school handled it with the utmost care and concern. They resolved the issue swiftly while keeping both children supported--a true testament to their expertise in conflict resolution. My interactions at the school have always been positive. The school is very safe, well-maintained and efficiently run thanks to superb leadership and excellence in child development. Lifebridge is a gem in the community and a real blessing for any parent looking for peace of mind for their child's well-being away from home. Thank you!

Lifebridge has been such a blessing to our family! Our 2 boys have been here now for a few years…read more My oldest is attending Kinder now. I love how caring the Director Julie is - she knows every child by name, prays for them, and listens to the Holy Spirit. During covid I knew the school was being ran by someone who hears from the Holy Spirit - what more could you ask? I love that they do the pledge every week together, along with prayer, and they sing songs about Jesus in chapel. I have never had any safety concerns the entire time they've been there, I know they are in the best hands. One of my favorite things about Lifebridge is how they do fun spirit weeks and celebrations. My boys are always looking forward to exciting celebrations coming up, Lifebridge makes holidays memorable and add in a ton of flare in between holidays to make school more exciting! Summer school especially is also full of exciting themes - splash day with bounce houses, popsicles on the playground, etc. If they're ever having a hard time getting to school, I can usually remind them of something fun coming up they're looking forward to. We are not a big extracurricular sports family, but I LOVE that they get pulled out to attend Amazing Athletes every week. They get to experience each sport, as well as do fun games & exercises & they get stamps to show what they learned that day so I can ask them about it at home. They never want to miss it. Again, we are so grateful to God for the blessing Lifebridge has been to our family.

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!

What stands out most is how well-structured everything is. There's a clear routine that helps the kids feel secure and supported, while still allowing them to have fun, learn, and be themselves. You can tell the team truly understands how to create a positive environment where children can thrive. My daughter feels comfortable and happy every day she's there. I'm really grateful for the level of care and heart they put into what they do. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a safe, structured, and nurturing place for their child.

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this daycare. My baby started here at just 5 months…read moreold, and as a first-time mom, taking him to daycare was honestly one of the hardest things for me. I had so much fear and anxiety about leaving my baby with someone else, but Pansy was absolutely wonderful. She was so patient, understanding, and reassuring, and she really helped give me the comfort I needed to make that transition. Now, seeing how much my baby LOVES being there makes my heart so happy. I can genuinely see the love that Pansy, Arjun, and all of the teachers pour into my baby and the other children. It's not just a place where I feel like I'm dropping him off to be watched, I truly feel like I'm leaving him with people who love and care for him. A special shoutout to his amazing teachers because they are truly the sweetest. They are so caring, loving, and attentive with him, and that means everything to me. My baby is always coming home doing something new, and I'm constantly amazed by how much he is learning and developing while he's there. There is no better feeling as a parent than knowing your baby is safe, happy, learning, and most importantly, loved while you're away. I'm so incredibly grateful that we found this daycare. From the owners, Pansy and Arjun, to all of the wonderful teachers, thank you for loving and caring for my baby the way that you do. You made something that was initially so scary for me become something I now feel completely at peace with. We are so grateful to be a part of this daycare family.

Kah'liyah loves going to daycare everyday the teachers do an amazing job at teaching her new things I see it every time she comes home from daycare she learns something new everyday. If you want a good daycare for your child I definitely recommend this site they are very family oriented and care about all their kids that attend. P.S they take the best pictures here is a few of her while she was at daycare.
