My daughter warmed up so easily. I can't say enough great things about Patricia and Carla. They are genuinely caring, trustworthy women and provide such a loving and educational environment for our daughter. Our daughter is always so happy at drop-off that she doesn't even turn around for a second look! We love getting the picture updates and projects they complete at daycare. We are moving away and so incredibly sad to be leaving otherwise she'd be there for years! And the price is very reasonable-- they provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks.

I first called on the phone and the owner answered the phone and she wasn't condescending. Then…read morewhen I went in to get some paperwork (which she instructed me to do when we spoke on the phone) as we walked in she scoffed, rolled her eyes and her neck that people were arriving. Once inside I could see it was lunch time but the children were not effected about me and my lil' one walking into the office. Then while getting information about the place and the paperwork all Trish (the owner) did was complain. She complained about lack of communication with some parents, California daycare standards, the mosquitos in the backyard etc. as a person coming in to look for a new daycare that wasn't an impressive first impression. The Great Beginnings rates are very affordable but I think I see why. My little won't be going there, it a pass for me babes!

My child has attended this preschool for 2 years. For the most part I've been happy with the…read moreprogram just confused about why they're so strict. No Mother's Day celebration no Cinco de Mayo celebration no holiday celebrations or birthday goodies even if it's from the store. If the reason for no birthday goodies is the sugar and the dyes then I'm confused as to why they serve chips and gold fish and other snacks like that. But because I work a full time job the hours of this preschool is extremely convenient. The teachers are caring and loving, my daughter loves them. One time I walked in the classroom thon pick up my daughter and she was alone with a male teacher, I wasn't even aware of this. Wasn't made aware of a new teacher much less that my daughter will be alone with him at times in the evenings. I had an issue with one teacher, my daughter told me she grabbed her hand really tight and squeezed it. I immediately let the school site director know. Not too sure what happened besides a meeting because that teacher is still there. And I wasn't the only parent that complained about her for the same reason. Just recently my daughter told me her classroom was hot for a lot of days, and I couldn't understand if she said she had to sleep on the floor or had to sleep in room four because it was too hot. No teacher ever informed of this and school site director never informed me of this either, doesn't come to a surprise since the bathroom by my daughters class had been leaking for weeks maybe longer. My daughter even told me that a little girls slipped and bumped her head, I brought up to one of the assistants attention and nothing wasn't fixed at all. This year was supposed to a fun and exciting last year for my daughter and us as she was expected to graduate or promote from preschool wearing a cap and gown like they have all other previous years for I don't even know how long. But last minute the decision was changed, 3 weeks ago 5/31. They will not be wearing a cap and gown no ceremony like they've done previously. The main director in Carlsbad know every parent is upset, I have called multiple times to receive an explanation, so she can hear me out and allow them to wear cap and gowns. But she is extremely rude over the phone, no manners. Hard to believe she's in the position she's in talking to parents that way she does. How is the voices of parents of the students they teach not important! Another of the directors said that we couldn't afford a cap and gown that we are low income families. I do not recommend this preschool if you feel that your opinion and voice as parent is important. If you feel that you need to be aware and update of any and all changes of your child's preschool.
