This was my sons first preschool and it was so special for him. Miss Lynda, Nancy, and Kim all had their unique ways of showing love and nurture. My son felt comfortable and had fun. They do a ton of art projects that I will save forever. Miss Lynda's is low key and flexible. She took payment for the actual amount of days in attendance and offered make up days for sick or travel. There have been no other schools that offer that. It's not super fancy, but it's warm, inviting, and caring. My child loved his 2 years there. read more

We can't say enough wonderful things about Miss Lynda and her team! Our daughter has been going to Miss Lynda's for almost 2 years and we have seen such remarkable growth in her socially, emotionally, and mentally. She loves to go to school and has thrived in the home environment with a smaller class size and wonderful, hands on teachers that have such knowledge of childhood development! The school is in Miss Lynda's home and has a gated indoor area with various toys, activities, and books for the kids. Each kids had their own cubby inside as well. The backyard is filled with playhouses, cars, bikes, and toys for the kids to play. Miss Lynda also does special water play days and parties throughout the year. Our daughter has come home with lots of great art projects that she is so proud of and hangs up in her room and around the house. Our daughter was pretty attached to us and this was her first big transition. Miss Lynda and her team were so sweet, patient, and understanding and really worked with her and with us to help make sure she adjusted, was comfortable, and had a good experience. We can't thank them enough and highly recommend this school! The combination of structured activities and learning through play in a home school environment has been so wonderful for our daughter and our family! We have a new addition to the family and will be sending him to Miss Lynda's as well when he is older :) read more

We are so lucky we found this wonderful school! Miss Lynda's preschool came recommended by a colleague. From our first visit, the warm and welcoming environment instantly put my daughter at ease. Miss Lynda and her teachers are truly special, with a love of children and early childhood education that shines through. My daughter looks forward to drop off each morning and runs to to the door. She proudly shows off her art project that she brings home each day. There is a great balance of ample play time with some structure built in. My daughter loves to pretend to be a teacher leading circle time at home. She has also blossomed socially, thanks to the small class size, nurturing atmosphere, and excellent teacher student ratio which was the best I found after visiting many different preschools. We actually left the school for a couple months to move my daughter to a school that was much closer to our home and more convenient. However, she was not stimulated at her new school the way she is at Miss Lynda's and grew more unhappy over time, so we brought her back. Miss Lynda also is notably extremely flexible with make up days, which is so helpful with my full time working mom schedule. I truly can't say enough good things about this school! My daughter has thrived here, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and loving environment. read more

If you're looking for a cute and easy preschool, this is the place to go! It's cozy, and the staff is loving. All you truly need for toddlers. My daughter sat on Miss. Lynda's lap every day! My daughter was hardly speaking before she started, and within a few months, she started talking so much! The hours are perfect to get your little one out for a bit, and then they're ready for their nap. They're also flexible with your schedule, which is really nice. She never cried at drop off, and always walked in so happy. We are sad to go, but it's time for my kids to go to one school! Thank you Miss. Lynda, and the rest of your team! read more

Need a cute preschool for your kiddo?! We are moving back to the east coast and I'm so sad to say we will be leaving the cutest little preschool. Miss Lynda's Preschool has offered us so much! My son comes home everyday with a new activity. He has learned so much in such a little amount of time. The curriculum they have for the children is amazing. This week they're learning about the solar system and he's come home with an astronaut suit made out of recycled things! It's so cool and I'm so impressed! The best thing is he's excited to go to school and he enters with the biggest grin! He asks if he can go to school everyday! It's very Covid cautious, and everything is outside. The teachers are so loving and I feel very safe with my son there. I'm so thankful we found this preschool! read more

Our 2.5 year-old loves going to Miss Lynda's! He has so much fun while he's there and always comes home happy! Miss Lynda and the other teachers are so caring and they spend time getting to know each child. We love Miss Lynda's and can't wait for our infant son to start there as well! read more

Miss Lynda's Pre School - Preschools Near Me - San Diego, California

After visiting multiple schools we chose Miss Lynda's for our son and it was the best decision! Miss Lynda and her wonderful and caring teachers provide a safe, nurturing and loving environment for the kids. My son LOVED it. He looked forward to it and even asked to go on the weekend. He came home singing and talking about his teachers and the other students. He truly blossomed from attending Miss Lynda's. He followed instructions well, learned how to play with kids his own age, became more confident and came out of his shell. Every week he'd bring home the most adorable projects from school. They brought a jumper, had fun water activities in the summer and put out a tent and taught them about camping. I love the teacher student ratio. The kids receive a lot of attention and are well supervised. I couldn't ask for a better environment for my son. The only regret is that I didn't start my son sooner. I will definitely be putting my daughter here when she's ready. My son misses it and still asks to go back. Thank you Miss Lynda! read more

Miss Lynda's is definitely the most outstanding at home pre-school in Carmel Valley, probably even all of San Diego! The teachers are kind, experienced, and take great pride in what they do. The result has been our daughter blossoming. The kids are always making clever projects, getting enough outdoor play, and stretching their imaginations. They also learn good values - like being kind to others and cleaning up after themselves. It's the type of nurturing environment where each individual gets the one-on-one attention and care that they need. It's definitely been a once in a lifetime experience for our daughter, who never wanted to leave. We're now sending our son, who fell in love with Miss Lynda on his very first visit. read more

Miss Lynda's Preschool has been the perfect stepping stone to school for my son. I was nervous starting him in preschool at 2 years old since he had been home with me everyday and wasn't talking much yet but I loved that Miss Lynda's offers a loving home environment and small class size. He immediately got over his first day nervousness and made friends and he gets in the car everyday happy and singing preschool songs and talking about his buddies and teachers. He has blossomed so much over his year there in speech, social interaction, polite manners, artwork, etc. They do cute learning themes throughout the year and he still talks about his caterpillar that hatched into a butterfly and he brings home adorable artwork. If you are looking for a part time home preschool for your toddler that they will enjoy and that will prepare them for preschool or pre-k, I highly recommend Miss Lynda's! read more

I brought my 20 month old and 3.5 year old here after suddenly losing our amazing nanny of two years, so I was nervous. Miss Lynda's has provided a safe, fun, flexible environment. They LOVE the kids. That is most important. I haven't ever had a negative experience and the kids give the teachers big hugs every day. My 4 year old is already writing and draws pictures for the teachers on the weekends. The cost is very fair and they offer makeup days to switch around when available which you won't get anywhere. Can't say enough good things. read more

We are so glad we chose Miss Lynda's for our 2-3 year olds pre pre-school. Not only is this schools teachers experienced, they also have a love for children you can see instantly. In the 5 schools we interviewed, Miss Lynda's was our first choice. Each day there are exciting crafts, reading, activities including their weekly theme. Whether it's learning the stages of a butterfly to watch cocooning and hatching in class, or themes around holidays, seasons, etc, there is always something he's learning about. In the past year my son's development has exceeded my expectations and he has learned so much at this pre school. Miss Lynda and her teachers are patient, enthusiastic, calm, passionate, and amazing with kids. They have the time and ability to spend with each child because of the low kid to teacher ratio. Usually 3 teachers to 10 kids. They also teach importance of sharing, being kind to others, interaction, social skills, sitting as a group, and teach great values. My sons favorite theme is their camping one which they bring out a tent for the week, have a bear hunt where the kids make binoculars, make s'mores, and explore nature. He still wants to do a bear hunt at home and the camping theme was 4 months ago. My son also comes home happy from school and lives talking about his day, that's what makes it all worth going! read more

We absolutely loved sending our son to Miss Lynda's. I always felt he was safe there and in a caring environment. She creates a fun space for kids but also fosters learning. I was blown away by how much my son learned there from singing new songs weekly to learning to spell his name, days of the week, counting to 20 & more. He made great friends there and you can tell the teachers all really love the kids. There are 3 teachers for about 12 kids which is a really great ratio. The monthly curriculum was creative and he would bring home art projects at least twice a week. I can't wait until our other son is old enough so we can send him there. read more

Our son went to Miss Lynda's for 1 1/2 years. We had the best experience! Miss Lynda is easy to communicate with, flexible and has a great staff. The kids have a great routine, get to be outside and do great little crafts. They love and care for you child like no other. I highly recommend Miss Lynda! read more

My son loved Miss Lynda's preschool. We were worried because it was his first "school" experience. Our worry quickly turned to joy. He would literally run to her door in the morning and couldn't wait to go inside. At home he would sing songs and talk about the things he learned at school. The teachers are warm and caring and were always available to talk if we had any concerns. This school is a gem! Thank you for giving our son such a wonderful experience! read more

We thank Miss Lynda and her team of wonderful, caring teachers(Miss Helene, Miss Jen, Miss Kim) for providing a nurturing, fun environment for my 2 year old daughter for 2 years! My daughter was truly excited about her projects, the fun activities they had planned and her friends. It was a good balance of structured and unstructured activities. Of all the places we scouted initially we liked this the most since it provided a higher teacher:child ratio than the minimum mandate, a secure/safe environment and level appropriate curriculum. My daughter has moved to Pre-K and we will always miss Miss Lynda's. Thank you. read more

My 3 yr old son absolutely LOVES going to Miss Lynda's Preschool! At first, he started going 3 days a week and loved it so much that he asked to go everyday. There are so many creative projects that expand his imagination and increase socialization. He comes home so proud of the art projects he makes...especially the one he made with rolling a golf ball in paint. He also recognized Van Gogh's, "Starry Night," from their lessons on Impressionist artists. As a Mom, I appreciate the teacher to student ratio and that the children learn through play in an outdoor environment. The teachers truly care about the children and create a family environment. It's very sweet to see the little ones waving goodbye to each other at pickup. Because of Miss Lynda's Preschool, my son now gets excited to go to school and share his day with us when he gets home. We couldn't be happier and have recommended it to all our friends. read more

Miss Lynda's Preschool is a wonderful place for your toddlers to start learning their ABCs and 123s and everything else. Everytime I go to her preschool to provide computer service, the kids are always beamng with happiness and they are always doing something like arts & crafts, playing, reading, singing & dancing. Lynda is like a magnet to kids, they simply adore her, simply because Lynda treats each child like her own. This preschool is clean, safe and her assistants are also very nice and respectful. You will have your peace of mind if you are leaving your child at Miss Lynda's Preschool. read more

My daughter spent 2.5 years at Miss Lynda's and it was the best experience. She found her best friend there, and learned all the "preschool essentials" (counting, colors, shapes, alphabet, nursery rhymes, manners, etc) in a safe play-based environment. Lynda and her team of teachers have become like family to my daughter. She loves them so much and even asks to go to school in the weekend! Lynda plans fun and engaging curriculum like famous artists (my daughter can identify Van Gogh paintings and abstract art!), they have water days in the summer, parties for Halloween and Valentine's Day, grow plants, hatch butterflies, and tons of cute art projects. I really can't say enough good things. We will be sending our younger daughter in a few months when she's old enough. Thank you Miss Lynda for the best preschool experience! read more

Keeping it simple... The ratio for teacher to children is 1 to 4. The group is limited to about 12, so that makes for 3 skilled, awesome, caring, very cool adults per day. Unlike other schools who take advantage of the state limits of Student/teacher ratios to maximize profits, not care. These people truly care and are referenced often by both my girls as positive influences in their experiences. Rather then drag on about the location and play area, I will just say that I wish my kids could stay till a later age. It's not just my kids who look forward to visiting the school, but myself as well. Lastly, it's much more than a daycare. The kids develop socially and it's very recognizable at home. Sharing in front of the class, reading, simple science and many creative projects just to name a few... If you are lucky you will have your kids enrolled sooner then later. read more

I totally recommend Miss Lynda Preschool if you are looking for a smooth transition for your baby to give this big step and together, find the perfect way to a new phase of life. Im far away from home, my husband and I take care of our little one all the time, so thinking of preschool was a huge step for us all. When I found Miss Lynda Preschool I felt so happy. The first time I visited the school, I knew it was there, this was the safe and warm environment I was looking for. For us it was the perfect transition from our home to a beautiful preschool that can make my baby feel warm, protected, discovering this is a safe place were she can learn and have fun at the same time, surrounded with this special atmosphere that make them feel like a family and make them feel free while they learn in a very unique way. It is also amazing that you can choose 1-5 times a week so that gives you a option to plan according to your needs. It is a delight to come every morning and see Miss Lynda receiving all the little ones, always with her smile and warm welcoming way of being. read more

Our family is so grateful to have found Lynda and her staff! My toddler struggled with separation anxiety and Lynda knew exactly what to do. It didn't take long for my little one to say goodbye with a smile on his face. Lynda's preschool gave him a nurturing, loving environment to feel safe in, not to mention a place to learn and have fun! Our home is filled with the most beautiful crafts that we will treasure forever. read more

Miss Lynda's Pre School - Preschools Near Me - San Diego, California

I learned about Miss Lynda's preschool from another mom. We took a tour and my daughter didn't want to leave the place! That alone screamed volumes. Our daughter quickly learned the language (she speaks another language at home), songs, and all the basics that every toddler needs to know to enter a world of proper communication. My child likes going to Miss Lynda's preschool (2x a week), knowing that she feels safe and happy keeps us - as parents - at ease. Her three teachers are easy going and very nice and nurturing. The only complaints I have: if your child is not potty trained, they only change diapers one time in 4h (unless there is no.2); and you need to apply sunscreen (which should be reapplied every 2h) no matter how many times you ask the teacher to do so. read more

Miss Lynda's Pre-School is amazing. My daughter goes there 3 days a week and loves every minute! She started just before she was 2 and now will turn 3 in two months. She knows all her letters and is learning so much from Miss Lynda! Things I love about this pre-school: *The days are flexible, so we go Tues, Weds, Thurs. Most schools are either MWF or TTH which is not what I needed. *The school is safe and sweet and fun for the kids. *They do the cutest crafts and projects. *Hours are from 9-1 and kids can stay late (until 2) on TTH if needed. *The teachers really love the kids and vice versa. *I was talking to the administrator from my sons school (Solana Beach Pres which is where my daughter will go when she is old enough). She said she can always tell which kids came from Miss Lynda's bc they are so ahead both behaviorally and with letter/colors/numbers. I cant say enough great things about this place. We will be so sad when our daughter 'graduates" from this lovely little school :) read more

We love Miss Lynda's! My daughter has been going for the past several months 2x/week, started when she was about 2.5 and she is doing so great! I'm very happy with her progress, at 2.5 I don't have huge expectations or put much pressure on her but Miss Lynda and the other teachers do a fabulous job. She knows her ABC's, counts above 10, spells her name, knows all shapes and colors and on and on. It's also a great, loving environment where I know she is safe and they are so happy to see her. I have no complaints and only great things to say. read more

Thanks to Miss Lynda and her staff, my son has grown into a confident, smart, well-mannered 3 year old and I'm so grateful for all their hard work. He comes home singing songs, talking about his friends, proudly showing his art projects, and learning about all sorts of fun topics. What I love most about Miss Lynda's Preschool - high teacher to student ratio, monthly curriculum, loving environment, and the most caring teachers. I always knew my son was in good hands thanks to Miss Lynda. If you're looking for a nurturing preschool in a home setting, I can't recommend Miss Lynda's Preschool more! read more

Both my boys went to Miss Lynda's Pre-school, best decision ever!! The teachers are highly knowledgeable and are so kind to all the kids. Boys loved going to Miss Lynda's and I loved they were well taken care of and safe. Would not consider any other pre school after finding Miss Lynda's. As soon as my baby girl gets older she will definitely go to Miss Lynda's too! read more

We started our son at Miss Lynda's when he was around 18 months old and he's spent the last two years there. Miss Lynda and her team were so kind and supportive of our son. You can tell that Miss Lynda genuinely loves the kids, it was so comforting knowing that we were leaving him in such good hands and with someone that we could trust completely. He enjoyed his time there and regularly came home with the cutest art projects. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Miss Lynda's to anyone looking for a partial day pre preschool option! read more

We love Miss.Lynda's Preschool! We sent our daughter here at 18-months and she and her helpers were so wonderful with my daughter and her transition. Now, she asks to go to school! Our daughter has blossomed and comes home singing songs, with art projects and she is so stimulated. We are so happy with this in-home environment (and they help with potty training)! read more

Our Kids, Adem and Amina were over 2 years in Miss Lynda's Preschool. They loved the school and the teachers. Since Amina is turning 5 she is going to a pre K, but still missing her old school teachers and their friends. Miss Lynda and her team build up for both of our kids a great foundation for the next stage in life, neither intellectually nor socially. I highly recommend this wonderful school. You and your kids will not regret it. Thank you Miss Lynda! read more

I LOVE Miss Lynda and all her helpers. Both my boys have been w/ her from the time they were 18 & 22 mos until they turned 3. I love that her space is inside her home. It's like going to your home away from home. My boys learned their ABC's, how to count, the joy of singing songs, doing educational arts & crafts, playing well and sharing with others. Most importantly my boys were safe and happy when they were there and that always made me feel good, leaving them there. read more

My older son came to Ms. Lynda's pre-preschool, and my younger son currently goes two days a week. We have had a totally positive experience--the kids get just the right mix of social, emotional, and academic stimulation, all in an incredibly nurturing environment. Ms. Lynda and her helpers demonstrate patience and kindness in every thing they do and they truly care about each child. We love Ms. Lynda's! read more

Our daughter goes here one day a week. It is a wonderful place and she seems to enjoy everyone there very much and Miss Lynda's does a really nice job of providing a good mix of activities and learning each month. We are very happy with the choice and will be sad when our daughter moves on to another school. read more

I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about Miss Lynda's Pre-School!! Miss Lynda and her staff have been instrumental in shaping my daughter's cognitive and emotional development. My daughter started attending Miss Lynda's at 2.5 years old and continues to attend 2 days per week. Every morning she wakes up and asks, "Do we get to go to Miss Lynda's today?" She comes home with countless art projects every week, each one more advanced than the last. She is better able to communicate her emotions and articulate her needs. She is starting to take direction from me without conflict, clean up her toys/dishes voluntarily, share toys with her younger brother and offers to help me with tasks around the house. Her vocabulary has also expanded tremendously throughout the months of attendance. She is much more aware of her surroundings in nature, the letters of the alphabet, shapes, colors, numbers/counting and can sing multiple nursery songs verbatim. Miss Lynda and her staff are nothing short of amazing. Each child is treated with the utmost care and respect. Miss Lynda's is not just a school for children to learn; it is a tight-knit family that offers both comfort and security. I am so thankful to have my daughter be a part of something so special and I am fairly certain I will cry when it comes time for her to transition into another school! read more

We love Miss Lynda! Both of my daughters started going at 18 months. Lynda and her assistants are professional and my girls love them all like family. The flexibility of scheduling has always been a bonus. We started 2 days a week and this past summer the girls have gone everyday. I can not recommend Miss Lynda's enough. They do the cutest crafts, learn songs, and have made sweet friends. I am thankful for the time they have spent at Miss Lynda's! read more
