I'd rate this center a 3.5, but since that is not an option I am rounding up. Both of my children…read morehave attended this school in different programs over the past 4 years. Pros: The teaching staff is very friendly, accommodating, and caring. They accept a lot of different financial aid programs, so our children have been able to attend at very affordable rates. My youngest son is with Miss Ashton in room 3 and she's by far the best teacher he's had. She keeps the schedule exciting and diverse, is very upbeat, uses positive reinforcement and validation, has excellent communication with parents, and works with him individually based on his neurodivergent needs. Cons: There is a good amount of staff turnover, and there have been many occasions (with both of my kids) when I have dropped off or picked them up in a different room than their regular room due to staffing/attendance issues. This can cause stress and anxiety for some children, but can be exciting and a learning opportunity for others. My youngest son also went months without a lead teacher due to turnover. Communication from admin is not great. On one occasion our pickup time was extended and nobody informed us for over a year. Questions surrounding certain funding programs have not been answered. Conflicting and confusing information has been given by multiple staff during 2 large scale emergency situations (COVID with my oldest child and a recent flood causing an extended closure with my youngest). During both of these events, we were told by different staff and admin that our children both would and would not be able to attend. In both situations it seemed that staff and admin were not communicating with one another to deliver a cohesive message, nor was a plan being related to the families. One final note is that there are a good amount of children with neurodivergent and extra social/emotional needs. Since my youngest child is in this category it has allowed him to attend without fear of repercussions for his neurodivergence, but these needs also cause stress on the staff and the other children. Overall this center has provided our family with extremely adorable child care that has been (for the most part) reliable. It is nowhere near a small, individual experience for each child, nor does it focus a lot on kindergarten readiness, but it does offer a safe place for children to go while parents are working, and a lot of experience in social skills and structure for children.

The Staff is very friendly and supportive. They do a great job taking care of our daughters and…read morecommunicate often and consistently to ensure they are safe and cared for.

Going through pregnancy and labor for the very first time was incredibly scary, but having Valerie by my side made all the difference. She was a truly essential support system for me--from the early stages straight through every single contraction. When the pain felt overwhelming, she stayed grounded with me, helped me find my inner strength, and refused to let me feel alone. Beyond her incredible physical and emotional support during labor, Valerie showed an extraordinary level of professionalism and dedication. She calmly handled challenging and unusual circumstances--including mediating sensitive marital communications with my husband--with complete grace, tact, and composure. She never shyed away from difficult moments or complex dynamics; instead, she stepped up as a reassuring, balanced mediator when I needed it most. Valerie was truly always there when I needed her. Her strength, unwavering presence, and deep compassion made a profound impact on my birth experience, and I am so deeply grateful to have had her support. If you are looking for a doula who is compassionate, fearless, and reliable through every step of the process, I cannot recommend Valerie highly enough!

Once we went to the hospital, her guidance, encouragement, and gentle push helped me keep going, especially when we worked together to help get my daughter into the right position. Although my labor ultimately did not go the way I had hoped or expected, Lindzee was there every step of the way with love, support, reassurance, and comfort. She helped me feel heard and cared for during some of the hardest moments of my birth experience. One of my favorite memories that I still think about is when I needed a distraction during my long labor, and Lindzee and I ended up playing Tapple while my mom watched us. It was such a simple moment, but it perfectly captures the kind of support she gave me, helping me through the difficult moments while also making me laugh and feel like myself. We bonded throughout my long labor, and I feel incredibly lucky that I gained not only an amazing doula but also a friend through this experience. I will always be grateful for Lindzee and the role she played in bringing my daughter into the world. I truly cannot recommend her enough.

We toured numerous daycare centers in Vista, and Three Little Owls was the obvious choice for a number of reasons. First, it was by far the cleanest daycare center we toured. The teachers and owners are extremely vigilant about daily cleaning and sanitizing. It was also opened more recently so all of the toys, supplies, and furniture are very new and clean. Next, they make all meals fresh for the students, daily. My son started at six months when he began solids and I was so impressed with the food they offered him. (They make the babies homemade bone broth puree!) my daughter also loved all of the homemade meals and snacks in the preschool. Lastly, the owners and teachers all truly love the students. My husband and I both work full time and leaving our babies everyday is hard. However, I always felt so confident that they were loved and cared for by every teacher at Three Little Owls. You don't find teachers that compassionate and invested in the children at every daycare. It is truly a special place. I highly recommend Three Little Owls to anyone looking for childcare. We are so grateful for all they have done for us.

Very Disappointing Experience…read more When I first read the reviews for this daycare, I honestly thought I had found the best daycare for my children. The reviews gave me a very positive impression, so I went there genuinely hoping to enroll my children. Unfortunately, my actual experience was very different. The first thing I noticed was that the outdoor play area seemed quite small to me. However, that alone would not have stopped me from enrolling my children. I was still willing to move forward until I had several conversations with the director that completely changed my mind. My baby is only four months old. I explained that I would want to stop by during the day from time to time to check on my baby. The director reacted very strongly and asked me, "What do you mean by visiting?" I was told that I should leave my child and go, and that at most I could come once and look at my baby from behind the glass. When I explained that I wanted to be able to visit during the day, I was told, "If everyone wants to come, we can't work." The comment that I found most upsetting was: "I only have this problem with Iranians." I personally found that statement very disappointing and uncomfortable, especially because the staff I interacted with were also Persian-speaking. I had toured several other daycare centers, and my experience with them was completely different. They were respectful and welcoming when I asked about visiting my baby during the day, and some even told me that I could come to breastfeed my baby if needed. I never felt like asking about my child was an inconvenience. I also asked for printed copies of the forms I needed. The way this request was handled felt unnecessarily irritated and unprofessional to me. I was given several papers that, in my opinion, were disorganized. At the other daycare centers I visited, the forms were provided neatly in folders and the staff were much more helpful and organized. I understand that every daycare has rules and that staff need to maintain a routine. I was not asking to disrupt the classroom. As a parent of a four-month-old baby, I simply wanted to understand how communication and parental visits worked and to feel comfortable with the people caring for my child. I have now enrolled my children at a different daycare, and my experience has been completely different. The staff have been respectful, patient, and welcoming. I am able to come in when I need to, and I have even been able to stay for a while with my children. No one has ever told me that I cannot visit my children or that I have to stand behind a window to see them. This experience has made me even more confident that my concerns during my visit to this daycare were reasonable. Unfortunately, after my tour and conversations with the director, I no longer felt comfortable enrolling my children there. Based on my personal experience, this was one of the most disappointing daycare tours I had. I went in with very high expectations because of the reviews, but my experience with the director completely changed my impression. I ultimately decided not to enroll my children, and based on my experience, I would not recommend this daycare to my family or friends. This review reflects my personal experience, impressions, and opinions after visiting the daycare.

Miss Gladys creates such a warm, loving, and well-organized environment. She has an amazing ability to guide children with patience and kindness--without ever needing to raise her voice. The children listen, eat their healthy home-cooked meals, and take their naps because they feel safe, respected, and cared for. The preschool is always clean, organized, and welcoming. Beyond the loving care, the children learn so much. My daughter developed independence, learned her letters and numbers, and built the confidence she needed to start school. Thanks to Miss Gladys, I truly feel my daughter is more than ready for TK. The best proof of how much she loves this place is that every day at pickup she never wants to leave. She always has to give Miss Gladys a hug--sometimes even coming back for one more before we finally head home. We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and dedication Miss Gladys has shown our daughter over the years.
